🏕️ What It Really Takes to Start a Campground (Ghosts, Giving Back, and Going Global) with Tonja Lesmeister @fireflyhills - Part 2

We’re back with Part 2 of our conversation with Tonja Lesmeister — and you’re in for a wild ride. 👻

If you thought owning a campground was adventurous enough, wait until you hear what Tonja discovered after moving into her 1920s farmhouse at Firefly Hills. (Hint: it involves ghost-hunting gear, a local Facebook group, and some uninvited houseguests.)

But the paranormal isn’t the only meaningful story she shares.

In this episode, Tonja also opens up about her nonprofit, Traveling with a Purpose — and how she organizes service-based trips to Jamaica that combine adventure with impact.

🔑 Key takeaways:

• The surprising discovery Tonja made about her farmhouse (yes, it’s haunted)

• Her journey into running a nonprofit and creating service-based travel experiences

• How she helps people ease into international travel — even if they’ve never left the U.S.

• Why she believes women can blend business, purpose, and adventure in powerful ways
