We’re Vera and Will, Doctors of Physical Therapy.

We’ve been taking travel physical therapy contracts for two years (and counting!), having worked in north central Washington, northern California and west Georgia. We love travel PT! Not only are we making more money to pay off student loans faster and save for the future, but we get to “slow travel” and immerse ourselves in local communities and cultures in different regions of the United States.

When we aren’t working, we like to go on road trips in Will’s 2000 4Runner, Truckee. We’ve road tripped the PCH HWY 1, been to Banff and even took a month off between contracts to drive the AL-CAN all the way to Alaska! And this doesn’t included the several cross country road trips we’ve taken for clinicals (thank god those days are over!) and new contracts. We like backcountry car camping, hiking, exploring new cities and eating all the food.

Will did his undergrad at Sac State in Exercise Science and wrestled in high school and college. He started BJJ during clinicals in Salt Lake City and is currently a blue belt (one of our criteria for choosing contracts and housing is if there is a BJJ gym nearby). Vera did her undergrad at UNC-Wilmington in Anthropology…then had to go back for all the prereqs to apply to PT school. She likes to be outside as much as possible (even if it’s just sitting on the porch reading) and loves strength training. Both of us are South College Knoxville Alumni!

When will we stop doing travel contracts? Who knows! There are ups and downs to travel life, so when the ups aren’t as UP anymore, maybe we’ll stop then. For now, we are taking it one contract at a time, crossing off different states/regions/adventures from our bucket list.

We were new grad PTs when we started - its totally possible for you to start as a new grad and be successful as a traveler! Reach out to us if you have any questions about travel therapy or need recruiter recommendations.

Thanks for being here with us! - Vera & Will
