Lebanon, NH is a compact, walkable Upper Valley hub that mixes classic New England charm with the energy of a major medical/college area—ideal for travel therapists who want interesting, comfortable multi-week stays with good coffee, restaurants, farmers’ markets, riverfront trails and easy mountain access. Reliable amenities, short commutes and a friendly vibe make it feel like a small city rather than an isolating assignment.
For weekend variety, Dartmouth’s Hanover is minutes away for cultural events and dining, and Burlington, VT—about 45–50 miles—offers a larger lakeside scene with breweries, festivals and year‑round outdoor recreation.
