You’ve finally decided to make the leap into traveling. Seeing new places, new facilities, new coworkers – it’s all so exciting! However, one thing many first-time travelers hesitate about is… housing. Rest assured, with today’s modern technology and social media the resources are endless. Here are a handful of the most common housing leads travelers utilize.
Airbnb
Airbnb is quickly becoming one of the most utilized options for travelers. Personally, I like this site because it offers so many unique options to make your stay comfortable and convenient, even remote locations!

Not only is Facebook a social network, it’s also a network for travelers looking for a place to call home while on assignment! There are so many groups on Facebook specific for travelers. A couple of examples include Travel Nurse Housing – Furnished Finder and Nomadic Nursing – A Travel Nurse Housing Page. For more groups simply search “travel nurse housing” in the search bar on Facebook and click on the ‘groups’ tab.
