About

A man in swim trunks squats on a sandy beach near the shoreline, looking toward the water. The turquoise ocean and wooden pier stretch into the sea under a cloudy blue sky.

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


Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of exploring 42 countries and immersing myself in diverse cultures. I’ve always believed in stepping outside of my comfort zone, which led me to leave the UK to pursue full-time travel.


Along with my travels, I’m an advocate for alternative living and share insights into how we can live more creatively and authentically.


As an ESL teacher and online coach, I’ve had the opportunity to inspire others to pursue their dreams from anywhere in the world.


When I’m not writing or traveling, I’m reflecting on my experiences and finding ways to help others do the same.


Join me on this journey through our Travel & Lifestyle Blog, where Jenn and I share everything from tips on full-time travel to the poetry that fuels my soul.


Thanks for stopping by, and I hope my (and our) stories inspire your own adventure.
