Thanks for stopping by!

My name is Leslie Lempka, a lifelong traveler, adventurer, who as an empty nester was ready to explore the world, and expand my mind, focus on my health, and create wealth. I have always been open to new experiences, but it wasn't till my kids were grown that I really spread my wings both physically, but also spiritually. What I found was that when you take a leap of faith, things show up in your life that you could never have predicted or foreseen. So…if you are between the ages of 45 and 65, are open minded, and love to explore….you are in the right place! Are you ready? Let’s GO!
