If you’ve spent any time on social media, you may have encountered the term "Passport Bros." 

And let me tell you—I want nothing to do with them. 

From my perspective, "Passport Bros" are to single men—usually from wealthy Western countries—who travel to places like Southeast Asia or Latin America. 

They use their fancy Western passport as a status symbol and show it off as a pickup tactic to try to “score” with local girls. 

These guys aren’t there to make real connections or build real relationships. 

They’re waving their American or Canadian passports around like some kind of trophy, pretending they’re wealthy (usually they’re not), and leading these girls on thinking they are going to take them back to the U.S. or Canada to live a better life. 

I’ll be blunt—this is basically sex tourism and it’s just plain gross.

If you ask me, it’s pretty low-class to try to pick up a girl based on the fact that you were born in a country that has a stronger passport. Not to mention completely degrading to the women.

Obviously, I am the last person in the world to have an issue with relationships that spring up overseas. My wife is from China, I’m from Canada, and we met overseas. 

I have many friends and clients who have spouses that are from another country, and we all have strong relationships formed out of true love, shared values and mutual respect—not some creepy transactional game where a Western passport is the main attraction.  

At Expat Money®, we don’t promote this nonsense, period.

Our goal is to help people establish real, meaningful lives abroad—learning the language, integrating into the culture, respecting local customs, and forming genuine relationships, whether personal or professional.  

If your idea of going offshore is to play pretend-rich in a foreign country and manipulate women into falling for you due to your passport, then frankly, I don’t want you anywhere near my community.  

If this sounds like you, please make prompt use of the “unsubscribe” button. 

I’m here to help serious people build real freedom—not this embarrassing, low-class garbage. 

Speak soon,

Mikkel

P.S. One of the smartest things I ever did for my offshore life wasn’t about banking, investments, or residencies—it was learning Spanish. I used Story Learning’s incredible program, and they are having a special sale of 50% OFF their Spanish Conversations Bundle (Levels 1&2). This deal runs until tomorrow, Tuesday, March 18th at 11:59 PM PST. This is, bar none, the best language program out there.
