Alma, Nebraska is a quiet, friendly county seat of roughly 1,000 people with a walkable main street, local festivals, and easy access to lakes and trails—ideal for travel therapists who prefer a low‑stress home base where you can settle in, build rapport with staff and actually become part of the community rather than being anonymous on a short stay.
For more weekend options, Kearney—about an hour’s drive with bigger restaurants, shopping and cultural venues—is the nearest sizable hub to extend your downtime or run errands.
