Winston‑Salem blends a compact, walkable downtown with a lively arts scene, craft breweries and coffee shops, historic Old Salem and museums like Reynolda House, plus greenways and nearby lakes for easy outdoor weekends—affordable and friendly for travel therapists who want a stimulating multi‑week stay rather than a dead‑end assignment. The city’s manageable size means short commutes and plenty of ways to plug into local events, fitness classes and foodie culture.
Within the Piedmont Triad you’re a short drive from Greensboro (about 30 miles) and High Point (about 15 miles) for an international airport, larger hospitals, shopping and extra weekend options.
