Hi, I’m Leon Gregori, a traveler, writer, and co-founder of CloserLives.com.

Over the years, I’ve explored more than 40 countries, immersing myself in different cultures and experiences along the way. Leaving the UK to pursue full-time travel was a turning point in my life, one that pushed me beyond familiar routines and opened the door to a more creative and intentional way of living.

Through my writing, I share reflections on travel, alternative lifestyles, and the mindset shifts that come from stepping outside your comfort zone. I’m also passionate about poetry and social media, using both as creative outlets to explore ideas around identity, creativity, and personal growth.

Alongside my travels, I’ve worked as an ESL teacher and online coach, supporting people who want the freedom to learn, work, and build meaningful lives from anywhere in the world.

Through Closer Lives, Jenn and I document our journey across the globe, sharing travel experiences, practical insights, and the creative perspectives that shape the way we see the world.
