An ego-driven expat or long term tourist who appoints themself a "local expert" or "know it all" because they live or have lived part time in a foreign country on an annual basis. They often think their experiential knowledge exceeds those selfless expats or immigrants that live in the same foreign country full-time. They also often "troll" on Social Media, giving advice or criticizing others who are trying to help visitors or new expats to the area. As soon as it warms up back in their "home" country, they retreat until the cold weather inspires their return the following year.
