Which goofy categories of expat do you fit into, if any?

I'm an ex secret agent who's lived a life of mystery and high adventure. Now that I have retired behind my high tech security screened secret lair walls I spend most of my days laminating, gardening, and working on my next fake passport so I can continue to jet about the world with my ex-spy cloak of anonymity intact.

Yep, that's me - just want some damn peace and quiet.

Ditto. Came to research a paper and married my dear assistant. Took some convincing.

I love not getting cold, and being bankrupted by Medi(don't)care.

Remembering the good old days, born of romantic literature and lore, when foreigners weren't placed with - nor were required to conform to - this expatriate tag and all the convoluted stereotypes that might be associated. 

 

This contemporary class has drawn pathetic.

I consider myself a "True Expat" by definition. -  Love my country, just don't want to live in it!!   Have lived and worked in 37 countries and can get myself in trouble in 5 languages including English.

 

There a Beach out there I haven''t walked on yet.       Peace

The term expatriate and the associate character usually leaves me empty, as there certainly isn't anything special that draws from the fraternity - just the opposite is conjured up. 

 

Wouldn't be the company that I seek out.....

By 'the good old days' do you mean 'when the natives knew their place'?

Autocorrect. If you can't imagine yourself in the heat wearing a pith helmet and pretending you're slashing through the jungle with your rapier to take from the mundane reality there's something wrong with the world.

 

EDIT: Actually I really am slashing through jungle
