Travel PT: Exploring our own beautiful country! 🚗 ⠀⠀ We have visited over 30 countries for fun. But as much beauty as there is around the world, there’s so much beauty to be found right here in the US! ⠀⠀ We love that we’ve chosen a career that allows us to explore more of the US! ⠀⠀ Where is the top place in the US you want to visit that you haven’t been yet?! ⠀⠀ Our answers in the comments 👇🏻

Small town Saturday night 🎶 ⠀⠀ Ah, Saturday night. We had a blast this weekend hanging out with some old and some new friends in NC! ⠀⠀ We loved the sense of community we felt hanging out with our friends in their neighborhood and heading over to the local dive bar! ⠀⠀ One thing we definitely miss sometimes when we are traveling is that sense of community. But sometimes you make amazing friends when you get out and explore somewhere new. Other times you wind up on contract near old friends! ⠀⠀ Are you a big city person or do you enjoy the small towns?

[Health Insurance Options as a Travel Therapist] ⠀⠀ Usually one of the top questions we get about travel therapy is what do you do about health insurance. ⠀⠀ ➡️Do the travel therapy companies offer health insurance? ⠀⠀ ➡️What do I do about insurance between contracts? ⠀⠀ ➡️What if I switch companies? ⠀⠀ Tonight on our weekly Facebook Live video we will discuss insurance options for travel therapists, including what we have done during long periods off between contracts! ⠀⠀ Join us live at 9pm EST on our Facebook page “Travel Therapy Mentor”. ⠀⠀ Current travelers: what do you do for insurance?

{13 W E E K S} ⠀⠀ 13 weeks, or 3 months, is the typical length of a travel therapy contract. ⏰ ⠀⠀ This is in some ways the perfect amount of time. Long enough to ramp up your caseload and get used to the clinic. Long enough to get a good feel for the area and explore. But not so long that if you don’t like it, you feel like you’re stuck there forever. ⠀⠀ But in some ways, it always seems to go by so fast! I can’t believe we are already 9 weeks into this 13 week contract. I know that the next 4 weeks are going to fly right by! ⠀⠀ This contract has been perfect for us because we returned to an area we’re very familiar with - Eastern NC. We had never been to this particular town, but we have worked within 2 hours of here for 4 different contracts! We also have lots of friends within an hour to two hours drive of here, and family 4 hours from here! ⠀⠀ It was the perfect place to be for the holidays so we were able to celebrate with friends and family. It was different enough that we are still exploring some new places we hadn’t been before, but also returned to some old favorites! ⠀⠀ In the past, we’ve sometimes felt like 13 weeks was too short, and we’ve ended up extending our contracts for longer. And as you can see, we don’t mind returning to familiar places! We know many people though that are so done after 13 weeks— they’re ready for a change and want to experience as many new places as possible! ⠀⠀ Do you think you’d like to stay somewhere 13 weeks and move on, or would you prefer 6+ month contracts?

Throwback to 2010 - Whitney’s first visit to Europe!! ✈️ ⠀⠀ Wowwwww just came across these photos! It seems like FOREVER ago that I went on a 10-day trip to Italy with a group of fellow college students! ⠀⠀ I guess it was a DECADE ago! Wow! ⠀⠀ So funny to look through those pics bc I didn’t even remember half the places we visited! Jared and I actually went back to some of the same places on our stop in Italy this summer - and I didn’t remember I had been there 😆 ⠀⠀ It’s totally different going on a trip planned by someone else vs one you planned yourself. But I think it was a great experience having it all planned out and with tour guides for my very first time abroad! ⠀⠀ How do you prefer to take vacations? Planned yourself or with a travel agent/tour guide?
