Why Paguro?

In Italian, Paguro means hermit-crab, a creature found widely around the world that periodically moves out of its protective shell and into another one. 

The hermit-crab, just like the expatriate, takes on many risks during a move, and is extremely vulnerable during transition. 

Expatriates, like the hermit-crab, grow each time they move into a new environment, and are able to expand their capabilities and skills with each move.

Good metaphor

Paguro reminded me of fellow Filipinos who have been forced by the situation in our country to work and live abroad. The last line is really encouraging and inspiring, to say the least.

A very impactful image

I love the image of a Paguro! I certain feel like one, having lived in five different countries. I have spent half of my life away from my native Italy and can identify with the many challenges of moving, adapting, and re-adapting to other cultures. Most of all, I have come to believe, that expatriating is a wonderful way to challenge ourselves and embark in an emotional journey of really getting to understand who we are and what we value.
