About Me
Who Am I Now ?
Hi, I’m Lidia, known on YouTube as SimplyRVing. I’m a wannabe sustainable homesteading, empty nester, single woman, living my dream of traveling in my TruckCamper .
Since my travels began in 2012 I have traveled all across the country. Meeting many women on the road, I found a need for true community amongst women turning to live the nomadic lifestyle . With God's blessing I have developed Nomadic Connections in Reflection. A place where women can connect, anywhere in the USA, while on the road.
I’m passionate about getting back to nature and traveling a simple lifestyle,. All the while, traveling throughout the US in my TruckCamper.
Most times I travel alone but sometimes I like to camp with other women for awhile wherever I am, and then be able to continue on my own plans.
Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough. My TruckCamper offers me a temporary home away from home, where I still have the luxuries I am accustomed to at home but in a smaller space.
My TruckCamper gives me the ability to camp in those far off the way places but not necessarily places where I want to be alone. Having the ability to connect with other women gives me a chance to invite others along wherever I am.
My Main Accomplishment
International Adoption
In 2001 I began the long legally arduous and costly process of international adoption. This was a difficult situation politically
In the middle of my adoption journey an international adoption moratorium was placed on Romania by the Eastern European Union causing all international adoptions with Romania to go into limbo. Many letters to the embassy later I was able to travel to Romania to bring my 2 1/2 year old son, home to Florida.
In 2004 I had finally completed my international adoption with Romania to bring my adopted son home.
With God's help I was able to save this little boy from a life of misery in orphanages and foster care to a life full of love in family.
Humanitarian Accomplishment
Foster Parent
Between 2009 -2010 I fostered 10 children at different times at my home while living in South Florida. As a single parent at that time, it was a long process to become certified and to pass proper inspections in my home, especially with my own son in tow .
Business Accomplishments
Running a Corporation
In 1995 while living in South Florida, I started a movie export distributorship company that exported Spanish Blockbuster Movies to Video Stores in Latin America. High quality rental product was in high demand for those that lived in South America coming from the U.S. Many prestigious video stores opened as a result of this demand, I sold to various rental video stores all over South America, and Curacao.
In 2000 I also opened my own rental video store in South Miami. In 2001, I shut down the rental store, purchased a residential property for my quickly growing video export distributorship and incorporated the business. I also began investing in real estate and the stock market.
.
I continued with my successful export video business until 2015 when I started my You Tube channel. The demand for physical video stores started to decline and many stores where closing so I closed that chapter of my life. Having also moved to Central Florida 2 years earlier, I wanted to live a simpler way of life to homeschool my dyslexic son and was also able to be a caregiver to my 88 year old Uncle.
Now focused on the SimplyRVing YouTube channel it has prompted me to begin Nomadic Connections in Reflection after I found a need for solo traveling women in the Nomadic Community.
I still invest in Real Estate today.
Recently I began another YouTube Channel called Simply Living the Word which focuses on teaching the biblical word of God. With an unfinished college background in teaching I am now able to teach bible studies on that channel. With a gratefulness in my heart for all the blessings God has endowed on me, I continue to spread God's Word to the lost and to those in need of TRUTH.
