a person who moves from a developed country to an developing country with the intention of enjoying an easier way of life, often at the expense of the locals. For example, many English teachers in East Asia like to convince others that they are serving or sacrificing for the populations in which they live and work for a salary far above
local wages, but in
reality, they are taking advantage of the
people living in the host country.
Many of the opportunistic expats in
Bangkok who frequent the city's whore houses must
pretend that human trafficking does not
exist.
