I'm Cara.
The girl who's gone city.


Originally from a small coastal town in North Carolina, it's long been my dream to live in the middle of a big city.

In 2022, my dog, Sterling, and I came to Philadelphia, PA without any set ideas or expectations. I just wanted to follow my dream.

I've had time to get lost, and I've learned so much in the process. My confidence has grown, I feel empowered, and I love soaking in all the day-to-day so city experiences.
