Virginia Travel Therapist Meetup 🤗 ⠀⠀ We had a blast getting together with fellow travel therapists, and future travelers, yesterday in Richmond, Virginia! ⠀⠀ There are always travel therapist meetups on the west coast, particularly in California, that we can never attend. So we decided to host our own meetup in our home state! ⠀⠀ It was a great turn out & we made wonderful connections with new friends! ⠀⠀ Thank you to those that were able to make it! Hoping we can host another one in the future and bring together more travelers!

Did you meet in Physical Therapy school? . No, we didn’t. Most people assume we probably went to PT school together, and that’s how we met, but that’s not the case. . Actually, we knew each other in high school (different schools, same town). But it wasn’t until many years later we crossed paths again back in our hometown, and we found out we were both going to school to be DPTs, at different colleges! . That summer after the first year of our DPT programs, we were both in town for our first year internships (plus Jared’s school is in our hometown). It turned out to be perfect timing. We spent the whole summer together (and Jared was also there for me when my dad passed away that summer). . After that, I went back to my school 5 hours away, and we did the long distance thing for the next 2 years. Luckily we both have the same hometown which made it easy to see each other often, usually once a month and during school breaks, plus another clinical I was able to get at home. . We survived that part of our relationship, and then after graduation, immediately started our Travel PT journey together! . Our relationship has been quite the adventure & still going strong over 6 years later. 😍 . 📸 Last night we went out to a country bar in town where we first hung out over 6 years ago. ➡️ Swipe to see our very first photo together! 🥰

How do you handle insurance between contracts? ⠀⠀ 👆🏻This is something we get asked a lot! ⠀⠀ For most people, they just want to know what happens for insurance during contracts and on the short gaps between jobs, from one weekend up to a couple weeks. ⠀⠀ Some people also want to know what to do about insurance for the longer gaps, a month to a few months {like we’ve had off lately on our long international trips}! ⠀⠀ Here are the quick answers: ➡️ During contracts and short gaps between when the next contract is with the same company: we use the travel company health insurance and it carries over during the gap as long as we resume work with the same company ➡️ Gaps between from a few days up to a month or so, or gaps between when you switch to a new company and can’t stay on the old company’s insurance: we don’t get insurance and we would apply for COBRA retroactively if we had a medical expense we needed it for during that gap ➡️ Long gaps (like when we travel internationally for 4-5 months and spend a month or more at home): we sign up for our own insurance through the ACA Marketplace, and we also get travel insurance for when we are out of the country ⠀⠀ To learn more about this in detail, check out the links on benefits and insurance on our LinkTree (Link in Bio) 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀ Current travelers: what do you do about insurance?!

This is so accurate! 😂 I know some other travel therapists can relate!
