Cambridge is a compact, walkable city on the Charles River anchored by Harvard and MIT, with lively Harvard, Central and Kendall Squares full of cafés, eclectic dining, bookstores, live music and year‑round cultural events—perfect for a travel therapist who wants stimulating downtime, bikeable neighborhoods and reliable transit to work.
You’re minutes from downtown Boston for major museums, theaters and sports, and roughly an hour from Providence, RI for additional dining and arts, so there’s always something to do between shifts.
