Starting travel therapy is overwhelming. Choosing agencies, understanding pay packages, setting up a tax home, finding housing — it's a lot. Get paired with an experienced travel therapist mentor who'll guide you through it all, for free.
Request a Mentor →Three steps to getting guidance from someone who's navigated exactly what you're facing.
Fill out a quick form with your discipline, experience level, what you need help with, and your preferred communication style. Whether you're a new grad PT exploring your first contract or an experienced OT switching agencies, we'll find the right match.
We pair you with a mentor who shares your discipline and has direct experience with your situation. A travel PT mentor for travel PT questions. An SLP who's navigated multi-state licensing for your licensure concerns. Relevant experience matters.
Your mentor reaches out within 48 hours. Chat by phone, text, or email — whatever works for both of you. Most mentees have 2-4 conversations covering their biggest questions, though you're welcome to stay connected as long as you find it valuable.
Which companies are best for your discipline and goals? How to evaluate recruiters, what red flags to watch for, and how to work with multiple agencies simultaneously without burning bridges.
Understanding bill rates, stipend breakdowns, blended rates, and how to compare apples-to-apples between different pay package structures. Mentors share what they actually earn (not just what was advertised).
Finding affordable housing, negotiating short-term leases, RV life considerations, what to pack, and how to handle the logistics of moving every 13 weeks. Practical tips you won't find in any guide.
Setting up and maintaining a tax home, understanding multi-state filing, choosing a travel-specialized CPA, and avoiding the common mistakes that cost new travelers thousands in back taxes.
Navigating state-by-state licensing, using compact licenses, managing license renewals across multiple states, and strategies for getting licensed in your target states quickly and affordably.
How long to travel, building a long-term career strategy, transitioning from travel to permanent roles, negotiating extensions, and financial planning for the unique income patterns of travel therapy.
Experienced travel PTs, OTs, and SLPs who have completed multiple contracts and want to give back to the community. They volunteer their time because they remember how overwhelming it was starting out. All mentors are vetted for experience and professionalism.
None. Zero. Free. We believe every travel therapist deserves access to guidance from someone who's been through it. Mentors volunteer their time, and we cover the matching and coordination.
Absolutely. Whether you're on your first contract or your fifteenth, there's always someone who's navigated the specific challenge you're facing. Experienced travelers often seek mentorship for career transitions, financial planning, or breaking into new settings.
If you're an experienced travel therapist who wants to help others navigate the journey, we'd love to have you. Requirements: completed at least 3 travel contracts, active in travel therapy within the past 2 years, and willing to commit to 2-4 conversations per mentee.
Whether you're considering travel therapy or looking to level up your current travel career, a mentor can help you get there faster.
