If you are new here, welcome! My name is Abbey Pratt, and I am a traveling speech-language pathologist. To be fair, I have only been a traveling therapist since September 2022. Currently, I am on my second contract in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. And yes, I know it’s the middle of winter 🙂

Anyway, with being a newer traveling therapist, I thought it would be beneficial to provide some tips I have learned so far while being on this journey.

1. Pick a traveling agency that has your best interest and sees you as a therapist rather than a number. (If you need a recruiter, hit me up!)
2. Get your stated license in any state you want to visit to avoid pushing back your start date!
3. Advocate for yourself! Don’t settle for anything less than you deserve. Speak up to get more $$$
4. Use Airbnb for housing… there are other websites of Facebook groups but have found to Airbnb to be the cheapest and most reliable.
5. Go adventure!! Find random cities or towns to work in and see what the world has to offer.

As I continue to travel, I will definently provide more tips and tricks I learn along the way. For now, this is all I got.

God Bless!
