What is Faux Resident?
1.
when a tourist poses as a resident of the country they're visiting, because they don't like people to know they're tourist or just because they're pretentious.
They tend to act casual, don't ask for directions and try not to be seen with maps, guides, cameras, gift shop bags or any other item that can reveal they're on vacation.
