That's pretty cool, but what else would you expect from Jimmy Buffett's daughter but a story from the caribbean! I hope I was successful in subscribibng to that You Tube Channel, I'd really like to see Ex Pats. Thanks for the heads up, Fins Up!

U.S. citizens living in STJ or any of the USVI are never considered to be expatriates - registered voters in the USVI cannot however vote in the USA Presidential elections due to the Electoral College system.

I was thinking the same thing Exit Zero, how could someone be an ex-pat without leaving US territory?

I do not intend to argue your factual point... I agree. I will point out that the name of the Youtube series being "Ex-Pats" may have been used to remove it from the exact definition of expatriate, which in abbreviated form, is
expats, not ex-pats.

For me, watching this video will be a short trip to the islands... that is all I want!

Here is the quote from the advertisement I saw..

Savannah Jane Buffett set to debut new show, "EX-PATS"
EX-PATS, according to modern definition, are people temporarily or permanently residing in a country and culture other than that of their upbringing. Host Savannah Jane Buffett travels through foreign lands to discover the extraordinary stories of those who cut the home-cord, leaving behind a seemingly successful and ordinary existence, in search of a place to live their dream life.
