Transients is co-edited and co-founded by nadav benjamin and Melissa, who both hail from a tiny town in Pennsylvania. They both are now a few years into their own transient experiences, living in London (albeit two Londons, on opposite sides of the Atlantic from each other).
nadav benjaminnadav is currently a master's student at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada, where he studies Hispanic linguistics. nadav loves the classics, so much so that he has Picasso's Don Quixote sketch tattooed on his arm. nadav currently finds himself torn by his transience; the call to see the world beyond his home is strong, but so is the call to be near his friends and family and reconnect with the mountains that raised him.

MelissaMelissa left that tiny town basically as soon as she could, and hasn't really stopped since, though London (the one with all the tea) has been the closest thing to home. Belonging is overrated in the modern world anyway (she tells herself).
She's currently studying law there, fulfilling her own Elle Woods-inspired dreams, though regularly gets distracted by, well, nearly anything. Oh shit, she's probably late for something right now actually... another fun tattoo-related fact: Melissa has 3 tattoos from 3 different countries, all inspired by botanicals. |
