Our Story

Two techs,
one adventure.

We're Otis & Tricia — a husband-and-wife team who traded the 9-to-5 for 13-week contracts across the country. Otis is an ARRT-certified MRI technologist with nearly 8 years of experience on GE, Siemens, and Toshiba platforms. Tricia brings 28 years of ultrasound experience and never met a machine she couldn't figure out.

We document the real side of travel healthcare — the pay, the housing hunts, the best karaoke spots in every city, and the freedom that comes with living life on your own terms.

4+ Years traveling together

The Magnet Room at 3 AM

There's a specific kind of quiet inside a bore at 3 in the morning. No phones. No chatter. Just gradients firing and the low hum of a machine that sees everything.
