Paguro objective is to give you all the possible links to your own culture or to a new culture you wish to explore. The first step is to find local or global organizations that do that.
We wish to keep this list current and update it with your guidance. If you come across sites you feel are useful to expatriates we will be happy to include them and see the list grow.

We know from experience that there are many worthy sites that have been started by fellow expatriates who desired to fill a void.
Paguro welcomes expatriate enterpreneur efforts and is willing to publicize them, write to us.
