Meet Elisa Olivas #Nando25 Challenge Collaborator

Elisa was born in Chihuahua, Mexico and at the age of 8, her parents made the choice to pursue happiness across the border. Moving to the United States, the land of dreams, was a defining moment for her.

Her two sisters would probably have a different story to tell you. Even though they had the same journey (coming to a foreign country and not speaking the language) the experiences were different for each of them. Imagine leaving behind everything that is familiar to you: your friends, your family, your pet, your school and start from scratch in a new country. Scary! She worships her Mother, for her sacrifice, her courage, her strength to leave her native country for a better future for her family. And her Father, who has taught her fortitude, and an impeccable work ethic. Without their decision to bring their children to the land of opportunities, she would not be who she is today.Today, Elisa's blog, Elisa...creating memories, chronicles her life in Croatia, her beautiful little girl, and her life in Colorado. She is a mommy blogger and a world traveler! You can follow her on Twitter @ahappyoliveI asked Elisa why she wanted to join the #Nando25 challenge:1.
