Jennifer David: Traveler, Author, and Life Coach Sharing Bold Perspectives

Hi, I’m Jennifer, a full-time traveler, writer, and creator behind Closer Lives.

I’ve built a life that explores more than just maps; I journey through mindsets, meaning, and the mystery of being human.

After decades of reinvention and a recent decision to have my outer self reflect my inner passion for authenticity by growing out my natural grey hair, I’ve embraced a way of living that, for me, is real, raw, and aligned.
