¿Qué means «Dig through»?
In Cali slang, Dig through means to get around, to not stay still, to make up your day. It means selling pasties, delivering food, teaching classes, planting gardens, designing websites, or babysitting. It means proudly saying, “I’m Dig through”.
EIn Murcia, although the word is not used in the same way, the spirit is the same. Murcians who scrape by do so with weathered hands, inherited knowledge, and dignified trades. From the vegetable garden to the market, from sewing to computer science, scraping by is part of life.

We hunt for a job, a goal, and, in general, we hunt for a better life. And at Mira ve Colombia, we hunt for our amazing stories that deserve to be told.
Migrating and searching for a new life: between two worlds

And in that process, expressions get mixed up:
«Here in Murcia, I’m also struggling to make ends meet.»
«I’m hunting for a cleaning contract.»
«I make do with whatever comes my way, but with dignity.»
