cosmopolitan
At home everywhere
Cosmopolitan describes someone or something at home in many countries and cultures, free from local prejudices or national limitations.
A cosmopolitan city like New York draws people from everywhere.
A cosmopolitan person has broad international experience and outlook: She's thoroughly cosmopolitan—educated in Paris, working in Tokyo.
The noun means such a person, or the vodka-and-cranberry cocktail popular since the 1990s.
