It’s official, we have been traveling full-time in our 2018 Thor Motor Coach for over two years now! Looking back we could have never guessed this is the life we would be living.

I spent 5 months in Washington State and was lucky enough to explore a lot of it. I’ve driven many hours and hiked many miles, but I always found myself back at the same place, Mount Rainier National Park. This park is high on my list of the best National Parks out there! Not only does this park have an active volcano that last erupted 1,000 years ago, but it also has glaciers, wildlife, and an endless amount of hiking trails. These 6 Mount Rainier hikes are some of my favorite hikes in all of Washington. *Note: I did these hikes between June and October of 2023. Be sure to check the National ..read more

Colorado is by far one of our favorite states and that is because of the endless opportunities of outdoor activities there are. From winter to summer, there is always something that can get you outside and active. Now having lived in Colorado both during the winter months and the summer months we can vouch for that! In the winter you have the obvious, skiing and snowboarding. But, you also have snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, and so much more. In the summer months, you have paddleboarding, biking, rock climbing, rafting, kayaking, and hiking. We love hiking! Not ..read more

As a travel physical therapist, I am frequently moving from state to state every 3-6 months on new contracts. For each state that I practice in as a board-certified Physical Therapist, I need a license for that state. Now you might be thinking, “Wow, Adam, that sounds like a huge pain in the rear!” and, for the most part, you’d be correct. So, I’m here to help you and show you what to expect when it comes to the licensing time frame for each state.

There are 5 national parks in Utah, and they all have unique qualities that make them individually awesome. However, this one, in particular, we had never heard of before, but it quickly became one of our favorites! Capitol Reef National Park is located in South Central Utah just 2 1/2 hours southwest of Moab. It makes for a very easy drive out to the middle of nowhere. The closest town is Torrey, about 20 minutes outside of the park. There are a few motels and a restaurant or two, but it’s not a town where you can spend all day exploring the local eats and shops. And that is one reason why we ..read more

As I was coming through the ranks as a PT student, travel PT became more and more appealing to me. Travel around the country. See the world. Build up my resume with loads of different experiences. Make a bit more extra cash. What’s not to like? Of course, now having worked as a traveler since being a new grad for a couple of years, being a traveler is AMAZING, but isn’t ALWAYS sunshine and rainbows. Check out my post about whether travel therapy is right for you for a further deep dive. As I got over halfway through my 3rd and final year as a PT student, I finally decided that I was going to p ..read more
