Our family recently traveled back to South Africa for a three week visit, which was fantastic! It really brought such clarity to me particularly, that our new home for this season is Canada 🙂 When you move overseas, life really is not 100% greener on the other side.

Introducing… Follow the Bergs!
Hi friends! I’ve been blown away by how many of you have shared that you’ve enjoyed following along on our adventure so far, and that you’ve actually been reading our blog entries. Wow!

Back to Africa
My heart (and my mind) needed this trip! We were so blessed and we are so thankful for the opportunity to travel ‘home’ to South Africa for a few weeks. Something that I know many of our friends, who have immigrated, would love to do after moving so far from their former home. And we…

The Journey Begins…
We are living in Canada… this is our new home country. Say what?! 🙂 When did this even happen? I am sitting in our hotel room in our new home city in Saskatoon, wondering how we got here. From the very first conversations that Adrian and I had about the possible move (Adrian was offered…
