The Adventures Of The Els Family In The United States
In 1995 we lived happily in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Life in South Africa had its uncertainties and issues, but we had no specific plans to go anywhere else.
Then came the opportunity of a lifetime… We won in the US green card lottery! We could go live and work in the United States!
So we packed up and moved to the United States in 1996. We lived in California for two years before moving to Texas in 1998.
We have been here for more than 25 years now. We had our ups and downs, but overall this has been an incredible adventure that brought us many opportunities. We’ve seen places and experienced things that otherwise would have remained a dream…
And the adventure continues…

Our Immigration Story
Our Immigration Story tells the story of how we came to the US, as well as our trials and tribulations in those early days. If you are thinking about immigrating to the US, our story might be helpful to you.
Travel With Us
We like to travel… more recently, RV (camper van & motor home) travel. Join us for photos and information about the places we visit, as well as RV-ing tips we discover as we go along.
Mind Matters
I believe that our minds can be our biggest friends or enemies, depending on whether we take care of it or neglect it. I believe that if we take care of our minds, the world can be a better place.
Online Issues
The online world can provide us with a lot of fun and function, but it can also be a dangerous place. I’ll be writing about both sides of that coin.
General Stuff
There are a handful of other topics that I think are important, but that don’t fall into any of the other topics. There may be something useful for you.
