Temporary Residents

We’re Lance and Mimi + #2TravelCats, known online as Temporary Residents. In 2016 we escaped from our cubicles and embraced the nomad lifestyle. We were working full-time at Disney and our small audio business on the side began to grow into something we absolutely loved to do. We realized that it was something that we could do from anywhere in the world. It was the perfect complement to support our passion for traveling.We wanted flexibility in our schedule, we wanted to ditch the 60-minute commute, we wanted to be free — not from working in general, but from doing work that didn’t require being chained to a cubicle. Most importantly, we wanted to travel the world full-time!We hope you’re inspired by what you see and seek out your own adventures. Maybe one day we’ll meet out there and share tales of adventure over a nice bottle of wine. We certainly hope so.

Istanbul: Whirling Dervish Ceremony in Silivrikapi Monastery | Temporary Residents

What visit to Turkey would be complete without a firsthand sampling of Turkish coffee, Turkish delight, Turkish baths, and the Whirling Dervish. Searching through google for a way to see the Whirling Dervish, we discovered a woman’s story that told of a more authentic experience.
