I’m Caroline Eubanks, a freelance writer from Atlanta. I started as an intern at a newspaper and used one clip to pitch others. I moved overseas in 2011 and continued writing about my experiences. It was here that my writing career started to take off. 

When I returned home after a year abroad, I decided to start focusing my writing on the Southeastern United States, an area I’d spent most of my life in. I heard a lot of misconceptions about the region while overseas and sought to correct some of them. Over time, my bylines appeared in BBC Travel, Afar, Travel + Leisure, Thrillist, Lonely Planet, and National Geographic Traveler. 

In 2018, my first book, This Is My South: The Essential Travel Guide to the Southern States, was published by Globe Pequot Press, inspired by my website. Both the book and accompanying website went on to win Lowell Thomas Awards, the highest honor in travel writing.
