Tamaqua is a friendly, historic small town in Pennsylvania’s Coal Region with a walkable downtown, affordable housing, local restaurants and community events, plus easy access to outdoor recreation — a comfortable, interesting base for travel therapists who don’t want to be stuck in a boring assignment.
For bigger-city options on weekends, Allentown and Bethlehem are nearby for expanded dining, arts and live music, and Reading adds extra shopping and entertainment, so you can enjoy quiet local weeks with easy escapes.
