No, having a famous neighbor is not an achievement.
Haha yeah, that's what I mean. It's not an achievement. But then again, neither are the bullet points that I've seen of my peers having visited a bunch of countries on their parents' dime. I just figured that it might be an interesting talking point, but the last thing I want to do is come across as a douche.

Having famous neighbours and listing all your vacation spots are both rather douchey things to put on a resume. Talking points don't need to be forced like that - if the conversation naturally drifts to it then you can bring it up (without sounding like a tool) if you want to try your hand at being memorable.
