Helping travel therapists take control of their careers and live the adventure of their dreams.
Wow! 13 weeks goes by quickly! Tomorrow marks the start of our last week here on the Central Coast…at least for now. Our contracts come to a close and we must prep for 6 weeks adventuring various parts of the country. It’s a complete paradigm shift from the rat race ortho world we once...
*** While currently my wife is my primary travel partner she obligated me to mention that not all of these circumstances are in reference to her, and this article draws from a long history of road trips both with and without her in tow.*** Spending days to weeks on end, three feet away from...
Road trips are amazing! Epic journeys spanning expansive swaths of the country, exposing often overlooked treasures with every passing mile. Pupils agape full bore, soaking in sights previously unseen or, more likely, unobserved. The best road trips ignite flickers of amazement and wonder deep in the recesses of our being. Twitching and sparking inside...

Needless to say we have been eager to train as much as possible. Especially since we now live at sea level in Shell Beach, California. This is...
Within the current structure of our wonderful healthcare system, reports of physicians and other “gate-keepers” spending a mere 8-10 minutes with a patient is increasingly common. Our wonderful profession prides itself on the quantity of one-on-one time we have with our patients. In this abundance clinicians are often wallowing through this gluttonous amount face time...
On our recent camping trip to Big Sur we came to the realization that there are a ton of small gadgets and useful tools that make our trip just a teensy bit better. After setting up/tearing down countless camps, and spending multitudes of moonlit nights reading and laughing by a crackling fire, we have...
Here is a not so comprehensive list of our favorite places and experiences along our travels so far: Favorite Sunset Location: Being suckers for the magnitude of mountainous terrain we have to vote for Baldy Peak in Eagle River, Alaska.
