Live Oak is a relaxed, affordable small city framed by big oaks, the Suwannee River and nearby springs — perfect for multi-week travel therapy stays if you want easy access to kayaking, tubing, fishing, quiet neighborhoods and a friendly, low-stress community between shifts.
For nights off and larger-city amenities, Gainesville (University of Florida, major hospitals, arts and sports) and Valdosta, GA are both within about an hour’s drive, so you get peaceful small-town living with quick access to dining, specialty care and entertainment.
