About Us—Our Journey
Travel built on experience, told with authenticity.
โSince the very first time we met in person in Australia, we have been scratching our travel itch! We visited 14 countries in 2019, spent 2020 touring Canada, and went on to start traveling full-time in 2021. And we have not stopped since, proudly becoming fully location-independent. Our adventures began with a 6-month stay in Mexico, before spending 5 months in Georgia (the country), 3 months in Turkiye, and 3 months in England. Eastern Europe and Egypt followed before we began moving to Japan and Thailand! We have since visited no less than 13 countries in Asia!

Jenn, Leon and Closer Lives
Helping you explore the world with confidence and curiosity.
We plan to see, learn, love, and share as much of the world with others as possible. That is why we created Closer Lives, to create a community for like-minded individuals and to help bring the world a little closer together through poetry, history, storytelling, healing, art, purpose, and togetherness. If you'd like to join us, please sign up on our website; the social part is still in the process of being developed, but currently you are able to post, share, and interact. We'd love to have you here with us!

Our first-ever visit to the Asian continent began in December 2022 with a week in Japan, before going to Thailand for Christmas. We hadn't planned for a year in Asia, but we loved it so much that we visited 13 countries!
We recount a whirlwind journey that spanned 12 countries in 12 months, chronicling the highs and lows, the unexpected delights, and the challenges of traversing the vast and varied tapestry of Asia.
โWe have visited 15 countries in Europe across two road trips, also spending many months living on the continent in countries like Albania and Germany.
In case you haven't checked out our story, weโre an international coupleโJenn is Canadian and Leon is Britishโwho met on Instagram through our shared love of poetry. In 2019, Leon moved to Canada, and we embarked on a road trip across the entire country. After the Covid pandemic, we moved to Mexico and explored 10 cities in 6 months. Through these guides, we share our tips and tricks on how to explore the world while keeping a budget. Join us on our adventures throughout North America!
After meeting on Instagram, Jenn had already pre-booked a cruise leaving from Australia, and after 3 months of online chat, we decided to join up together. We spent a week on the ship, stopping off at Vanuatu and New Caledonia, then returning to Sydney and taking a flight back to England. Here is our story!
