Just wondering if anyone's abroad, for how long, and why. I'm bored during a mandatory two weeks' quarantine. Been abroad two years with no plan to really go back. Would like to live in a few other countries.

    I used it more to mean "Temporarily residing in a country and moving on to another country instead of permanently integrating", though to be fair that's a bit of a misnomer and arbitrary definition I picked up and internalized without thinking. Always viewed immigrants as those who settled down instead of moved around (i.e. if I stayed in Korea for 20 years, became proficient in Korean, and raised a family, which probably won't happen).
