Baird is a small, friendly West Texas county seat with a historic main street, wide-open landscapes, and an easygoing pace—perfect for a travel therapist who wants focused workweeks, low living costs, and peaceful evenings after shifts.
You’re not isolated: Abilene (about 25 miles east) provides major hospitals, a regional airport, arts, dining and shopping, and Sweetwater (≈25 miles west) offers local festivals and outdoor recreation, so weekend options are a short drive away.
