Closer Lives: Jenn and Leon 

At Closer Lives, we explore more than maps — we journey through mindsets.

We’re Jenn and Leon — founders of Closer Lives, a Canadian–British couple who left the 9–5 in 2021 to travel full-time. 

Since then, we’ve slow-traveled through 44+ countries, building a location-independent life rooted in freedom, creativity, and connection.

Our journey blends slower budget living with faster-paced getaways designed for holidaymakers, weekend explorers, and short-stay travelers. 

Along the way, we share travel vlogs, destination guides, affordable stays, and real budgets — alongside conversations about culture, pro-aging, and what it truly takes to create a meaningful life beyond the conventional path.

If you’re dreaming of digital nomad life, planning a bold retirement, or simply ready to live differently, you’ll find both inspiration and practical tools here.
