Moving to a foreign land, then:

criticized many cultural conventions of the city criticize the social values and institutions of what he saw as a corrupt, confused society declared himself a cosmopolitan and a citizen of the world rather than claiming allegiance to just one place

Sounds like a Jew to me.
