Welcome to Closer Lives – Where Curiosity Meets Connection
Closer Lives is your digital home for thoughtful travel, alternative living, and soulful storytelling.
We’re Jenn & Leon, full-time travelers who believe that life is meant to be explored, deeply, and differently.

From immersive blogs and destination guides to helpful travel resources and curated products in our Travel & Lifestyle Emporium, everything we create is designed to inspire and support your journey, wherever it may lead.
Who We Are
We left the 9-to-5 behind to live intentionally and creatively. With backgrounds in coaching, teaching, writing, and business, we blend real-world advice with a passion for storytelling and connection.
What We Believe
✨ Travel is a tool for growth 🌎 Freedom comes in many forms
🧠 Learning never stops 💬 Stories are how we connect
Meet Jenn & Leon
Jennifer David
Jenn is a former blogger in her 40s, has spent much of her life raising children (both her own and others) and is the founder of many projects.
She is a former funeral director and a certified death, life, confidence, and mindfulness coach. Jenn could be a perpetual student of the humanities and is a big fan of culture and astrology (she's a Scorpio).
She abides by the rule of living life to the fullest and finding one's true calling and purpose in life, through manifestation and the power of belief.
Oh, and she is a big fan of cuisine (who isn't!) She is also the intense but laid back one)
Leon Gregori
Leon is in his 30s (he's a cancer), has never married, and has no children (before meeting Jenn and her famjam).
He formerly worked in retail and antiques/reclamation in the UK before leaving it all behind to join Jenn in Canada.
Leon is a published author, a fan of Brandy, KFC, Subway, and loves history, architecture, football (Arsenal), pool (billiards), technology, and politics. He is the polite but particular one!
Leon also runs our website in the background, constantly learning and evolving to help deliver the best user experience.
