Hosted by Jared and Megan, Temporary Locals is built on real experiences from the places we've actually explored.

Sometimes we invite fellow travelers to introduce us to places that are still on our bucket list. So, whether you're planning your next adventure or simply love a great story, we're glad you're here.

In part this stems from a childhood spent in war-torn Lebanon, where instead of swapping marbles in the schoolyard, he had a shrapnel collection - the schoolboy currency of Beirut.
