Kaplan is a welcoming, affordable Cajun town with strong local food, festivals and easy access to hunting, fishing, crabbing and shrimping — ideal for a travel therapist who wants relaxed evenings, outdoor downtime and a friendly community between shifts.
Bigger-city options are close enough for weekend runs: Lafayette (about 30–31 miles) and New Iberia (about 28 miles) offer nightlife, larger dining scenes, shopping and a regional airport within a roughly 40–50 minute drive.
