Caroline in the City is a travel blog devoted to seeing the world responsibly. Founded in March 2009, I used Caroline in the City to document my travels throughout my home in the American South as well as elsewhere in the world. Following a summer volunteering in Thailand and sailing in Croatia, I decided that I wanted to travel full time. In 2011, I left to spend the year on a working holiday visa in Australia. Since then I’ve been seeking ways to share with other “hopelessly lost” twenty-somethings how to travel full time and work on the road.
