The Story Behind Closer Lives
From teaching online to exploring 40+ countries, our journey has evolved into a creative platform blending travel, storytelling, and connection.
When we set off to travel full-time, teaching English funded our early adventures — but storytelling became the compass.
From that spark, Closer Lives was born: a travel blog, YouTube channel, and creative hub built from our shared experiences across 40+ countries.
We’ve since grown to 300K+ article views and 2M+ video views, collaborating with inspiring partners while staying true to authenticity and usefulness for our audience.
Today, we continue to explore, write, film, and create — always with a focus on meaningful connections and mindful travel.
