"Expat" vs "Immigrant" What is the Difference?

<p>There has been a discussion circulating on the internet about whether we should stop using the word "expat". In this episode we're talking about what these terms mean, who uses them, and our thoughts on whether getting rid of the word "expat" would make a positive change. </p><p>This discourse affects tourists too, because there is a much larger conversation happening around outside influence on Italy, where it's coming from, how much harm is being done, and who's at fault. </p><p><br /></p><p>We'd love to hear your thoughts!
