About Big World Small Girl | Lifestyle & Travel Blog

Meet Caitlin

Hi I’m Caitlin and I’ve always been a planner. When I was traveling solo in college with little money, I spent HOURS figuring out how to stretch a budget, finding safe hostels, or mapping out cheap bus routes. That love for research, and for sharing what I learned, is how Big World, Small Girl began.

Shortly after, I moved cross-country to Austin, Texas where I built a community around craft beer and local travel while pursuing a professional career in digital marketing. Over the years, my focus has grown along with me.

Recently, I moved back to the East Coast and now live in Baltimore with my husband and our pets, and my adventures range from quick weekend getaways to international trips. Some days I’m backpacking light, other days I’m checking into a boutique hotel, but whatever the trip, I focus on good food, smart planning, and keeping it real.

My travel blog, Big World, Small Girl has always been about approachable, honest travel. I share the wins, the mistakes, and the tips that make it easier for you to plan less and enjoy more. Make sure to follow along on social to keep up with my latest adventures!

About Big World, Small Girl Travel Blog

Launched in 2015, Big World, Small Girl is an award-winning, travel and lifestyle blog built on the belief that travel doesn’t need to be picture-perfect or expensive to be meaningful. My travel guides highlight the food, drinks, and experiences that make destinations memorable while giving readers practical tools they can use right away.

Along the way, I’ve been honored to partner with brands such as Jameson, Dos Equis, Norwegian Cruises, and Hotels.com. Though I’m currently based in Baltimore, Maryland, I’ve shared stories from destinations including Singapore, Belize, Puerto Rico, Europe, and the Texas Hill Country. I’ve also been featured in local publications and interviews that recognize my voice as both a travel influencer and content marketer.

With a professional background in digital marketing, I create organic content that resonates with readers and delivers results for brands. Whether I’m writing about a weekend road trip, a dog-friendly getaway, or an international escape, my focus is always on storytelling that feels approachable and authentic.
