Meet Jenn & Leon. Discover how an online poetry connection sparked a full-time travel journey across 42+ countries, embracing authenticity every step of the way. Our Story: From Poetry Pages to a Life Lived Everywhere It started with words. It became a way of living. We’re Jenn & Leon—two people who met through poetry, fell in love across an ocean, and built a life shaped by curiosity, connection, and the courage to live differently. Our story didn’t begin with quitting office jobs or booking one-way tickets. It began online, in early 2019, with two heartbroken poets who had no idea that joining Instagram would change everything. Jenn was in Canada, building a new poetry community page called Closer Lives. Leon was in England, sharing pieces from his debut book Out of the Shadows. One Sunday night, Leon was reading live on Instagram and ran out of poems, inviting viewers to send their own. Jenn stumbled into the live with only minutes left and sent two pieces. Leon loved them so much he read them twice. That moment sparked our first conversation, and within days we were talking constantly. Over the next three months, messages turned into long calls, late-night poems, and the kind of connection that makes distance feel irrelevant. Meeting for the first time in Australia When online connection met real life. Jenn had already booked a Royal Caribbean cruise from Sydney for April 2019, travelling through New Caledonia and Vanuatu before continuing onward to Tahiti, Bora Bora, Hawaii, and Alaska. Since we both wanted to meet, she invited Leon to join her for the first week. We met for the first time outside the busy train station at Sydney Harbour, with the Opera House behind us. One unforgettable hug and the nerves disappeared instantly. We explored the harbour, boarded Ovation of the Seas, and spent a week together that felt like magic. When the ship returned to Sydney, Leon was supposed to fly home while Jenn continued her solo journey. Instead, we decided to take a leap—Jenn flew back to England with Leon, turning our first date into a one-month adventure spanning five countries. A Love Story Across Borders Distance tested us more than once. Four months later, Leon proposed at Aphrodite’s Rock in Cyprus. We celebrated our engagement in Paris. And somewhere along the way, even border agents began swooning over our story. There were funny moments too, like the time Jenn landed in England before Leon, without knowing his home address, and had to explain to a very confused customs officer why she didn’t know where her new boyfriend lived. Building a Life Together in Canada Roots, routines, and learning who we were together. Just before the world shut down, Leon sold everything he owned and moved to Canada to be with Jenn. Those early months—full of creativity, uncertainty, and lockdowns—shaped how we viewed life, freedom, and what really mattered. When Canada reopened its borders, we made a decision: We didn’t want to go back to “normal.” We wanted to live intentionally, travel slowly, and build the life we truly imagined. Jenn sold all her belongings, and together we left Canada to begin our full-time travel journey—starting in Mexico, the country that changed everything for us. How Closer Lives Became More Than Poetry A creative space grew into something shared. What began as Jenn’s poetry community evolved into what Closer Lives is today: A travel, lifestyle, and storytelling platform dedicated to helping others explore the world, live differently, and find connection in shared experiences. We’ve now travelled to 42 countries and 180+ cities, creating guides, resources, blogs, vlogs, and honest stories from the road. Jenn’s Grey Hair Journey—A Powerful Part of Our Story Choosing authenticity over expectation. During our years on the road, Jenn embraced another transformation: her grey hair journey. What started as a personal choice has become a source of empowerment and connection, inspiring thousands of women who follow her story. It reflects the core of who we are: living honestly, rejecting pressure to fit in, and choosing authenticity over expectations. Where We’re Going Still curious. Still evolving. Closer Lives continues to grow as a resource for travelers, digital nomads, alternative lifestyle seekers, and anyone looking to step away from the conventional path. We create travel guides, honest advice, helpful tools, and real stories so others can explore with confidence and curiosity. We’re still traveling full-time. Still documenting our life as it unfolds. Still choosing wonder over comfort. Still creating a life we love — together. And we’re inviting you to find inspiration, courage, and your own version of freedom along the way.

Earn Online While Traveling Turn your laptop into your passport to freedom.
