a bit of my life in korea VLOG | seoul fashion week, garosugil, han river

Thank you guys so much for joining me on a random slice of my life here in Seoul. I was only home for 5 days before leaving again so I tried to fit in some fun in the beginning of Korea's autumn (aka the best time to travel here ahhhh!!!) I hope this wasn't too much of me mumbling and grumbling about life and I can't wait to be back to making my usual seoul/korea vlogs soon!

[@LeLocle10]

The fall foliage is at its peak, and I want to see Cari climb Bukhan Mountain :-)

[@youandwhatarmy635]

Okay but those tree warmer things(?) are ADORABLE

[@caricakes]

They make me so happy every year 😂😂😂

[@elizabethglaze7411]

@@caricakes I was so happy when I saw them. It was like an instant connection to Seoul! My town does them and I thought we were the only ones :)

[@dannnei]

"i have no more money" lol cause relatable enjoyed this vlog as well!

[@caricakes]

💸💸💸

[@krisissue]

I love your smart and relaxed conversational style and sweet music!! It makes me 😊 I’m a fall guy. October is my favorite month :)

[@caricakes]

Agreed! October is always the best 🙌🍂🍠

[@frecklesforties]

Love the way you film, the vibe is so cool 😍

[@caricakes]

Thanks so much!

[@frecklesforties]

@@caricakes also your seat may have been swapped due to an aircraft swap. Ask at check in if there are any other seats available xx

[@caricakes]

Thats what the woman at checkin said but it was a full flight ☠️ oh well! I got to my destination in one piece so 😂

[@frecklesforties]

@@caricakes that's good....look forward to further vlogs x

[@hyuckjushon]

Eventually, you become like a celebrity on KZbin as being officially invited to a fashion show. by the way, you know that you looked so gorgeous at the end of this clip talking about your flight schedule with no make-up( right ?) ...so good

[@caricakes]

😂 thanks!

[@jillian3689]

I love more talkie (talky?) vlogs like this!! Always just what I need to calm down at the end of my day and transport to another place with a long lost friend 🤗💕

[@caricakes]

Gah im glad you feel that way cause it always feels like im just catching up with friends too 🤧

[@adriennehilll]

ah best thing ever is waking up and watching your vlogs gal. much love from busan ~

[@caricakes]

Thank you so much!! Excited to be back in Korea soon~

[@stillfangirlingtoday1468]

True! It's so nice watching it when you just woke up and it is a cold morning. Very relaxing.

[@portiat.w7380]

I've only been back from Seoul for a week and I miss it so much

[@caricakes]

You’ll be back dont worry!!

[@mimishimaineko1173]

"Then it dove back underground like a metal whale"--life is poetic!

[@wawawawawakkkk]

getting to sit down with a cup of tea and watch one of your vids for the first time in a while, i've missed this so much

[@caricakes]

😌🍵 thank you so much!!!

[@Sergeantpaprika]

The tree warmers are too cute omg. Love this 💕

[@caricakes]

Right?! They’re different every year 🥰

[@cpalice481]

Cari, I swear you always have the best intros to your videos! Also, don't worry about your talking too much since I can literally listen to you talk for hours haha. I love how diverse this vlog is btw. You really show us so many different sides of the world :)

[@caricakes]

Hahha I’m glad! I sort of thought this vlog was a mess so im happy you enjoyed😂

[@ameliesolene4593]

You always give me hope and support that one day my dream will fulfil and I'll live in Korea.So often I'm kind of doubting this dream but seeing your videos then just make me want to go there so badly. So thank you once again for showing impressions of your life! ( I also really enjoyed your travel vlogs!

[@caricakes]

I really hope it all works out for you one day!!!

[@bekahdale641]

“Welcome to Struggle City....population: me” this made me giggle out loud 😆

[@cierrah4211]

I literally live for these vlogs. I miss being in Seoul so much and seeing a touch of everyday life is so satisfying and keeping me sane until I can graduate from Undergrad and move back. Plus you are just so real and down to earth in your vlogs so it is like seeing the adventures of a friend so to me the vlogs are never boring!

[@caricakes]

😭🙏 thank you!!

[@annawilhelm9697]

I like how your eyes become big and round, when you are eating or drinking tasteful food or drinks. And you don't look happy by the thought of taking taking stairs into another dimension. 😆 I love your smaller vlogs. I think they're in their way informative and fun as the big ones. 👍🌟❤

[@caricakes]

I wasn’t mentally prepared to go to another dimension that day 😂😂😂

[@waterwitch8902]

I like when you do these kinds of videos. Simple and just see what's going to happen. Stay safe and healthy. Blessed be

[@caricakes]

Thank you!

[@서울브랜드]

She takes photographs well. The scenery is magnificent.

[@dianeferreira6608]

I watch (listen to) your videos even when I am doing something that requires a lot of attention. It makes me calm when I am anxious. Thank you!

[@caricakes]

Wahhhh thank you!

[@sarra993]

No vlog of yours is boring!!! Cannot wait for your next videos 🙏🏻💜

[@caricakes]

Thank you! Jeju Vlog coming up next!

[@shausanabria9369]

[@robinbarth6472]

architecture nerd here...seeing zaha hadid’s building in one of cari’s videos is so awesome to me!!!! two of my favorite things! thanks for the video cari!

[@izabelezyleify]

I'll be going to Korea in April, and I'm so excited. Autumn has to be one of the prettiest seasons, yet again, I say that about every season

[@caricakes]

Hahahh i love april too! Hope you catch the blossoms!

[@anacarolinaplanez1134]

your photos from Finland are amazing 💗💗 and i loved this vlog

[@caricakes]

Thank youuuu!

[@medusacandydive]

I've been watching your videos for yEArs, Cari (but never commented bc I'm a shy baby lmao), but I just wanted to say that even vlogs you think aren't going to be interesting enough are always so worth the watch. They're so chill and calming but also packed with little gems and I always leave feeling ten times more inspired than I was twenty minutes ago. I really appreciate all the time and work you invest into this gorgeous channel, and even when you're not convinced by your content, I always think it pays off! 🧡

[@maggiecurrie7792]

Seriously anytime I get nervous about moving to Seoul, your videos just get me so excited for the move!

[@cindypierre7532]

Love your vids, stumbled upon this vlog. Fun fact for all you dance majors or WW2 history fanatics, the exhibit with the random chairs and flowers sticking up from the ground is a Pina Bausch stage set for on of her many pieces that was a response to WW2 as a German. In which her work received the title as psychological ballet. Alright I'm done, sending love💛💛💛

[@KoreaWithKids]

The yarnbombed trees are awesome. When we went to Korea we had to go late August to mid September because of school and work schedules, but one of these days I will make it back in October! (Might have to wait till my daughter gets through high school, but some day!)

[@caricakes]

Summer is rough so i hope you get to see october sometime!!!

[@KoreaWithKids]

It was pretty hot but I heard we missed the worst of it. I have been there in October before but it's been 20+ years. We live in western Washington now where fall is when the rain starts back up, and it's just not the same!

[@maychecksout]

That exhibit was beautiful! 😭

[@caricakes]

I wish i could have showed you more of it!!

[@Fierie333]

your channel is just absolutely beautiful, i love the way you edit & all the songs you use

[@caricakes]

Thank you so much 🤧

[@anastasiasaprunova8876]

[@TonyMedina]

This has been the best October I've ever seen in Korea

[@edibeavc7918]

In this vlog, you look extremely beautiful Cari and that moment which you were looking at your film roll taken in Finland was precious just because of your satisfied glowly face expression :D I love it so much! So positive :D

[@caricakes]

I really like it! I’m just sad that because of travel i dont think I’ll have time to finish it so i need to wait again for it to be available at the library hahaha

[@ayyucey.5695]

@@caricakes Glad to hear that you like it :)I hope you enjoy your trip :) Btw I highly recommend her book "three daughters of Eve". It was such a good read, I feel like you would like it as well.

[@camilaallende3999]

I would also be nervous if I attended an event like that with so many people, but it's good that you finally encouraged yourself to go! An excellent video as always.... Greetings from Chile ( my country is currently all chaotic so it has been good to watch this video to distract me from everything that happens)

[@caricakes]

Thank you so much and sending you positive thoughts! You guys deserve a better government 😔

[@caricakes]

Thank you!! And I love them!!!

[@lauryn4384]

i’m going to be traveling to sinchon, korea, alone, in 2021 to study for one month and i’ll be living in a goshiwon type apartment and these are known for being small and cozy with no windows which is super okay for me!!!! but i was hoping you could maybe in the future do a vlog of little hidden places you go too for some relaxing refreshing time? like rooftops or park benches....it would be so nice to see 🥺

[@micaelameanders]

Oh I've been to that shop in Seongsu and it's so nice Welcome back to Korea ♡

[@caricakes]

Thank youuuuuuu!!!

[@mmxxmxm]

Omg yes haha! The girl in the book, I imagine her with heels and a skirt on a noisy and busy road.

[@caricakes]

Yes!! If i was wearing that kind of outfit I’d be very scared I’d actually enter 201Q

[@liula540]

Again, a wonderful and heartfelt video. Mahalo nui!

[@ckjanna]

Loved this vlog! Your videos always make me calm down during stressful times, but also get me super hyped and motivated and inspired to visit Korea asap! Aside from October, which months would you recommend to come to Korea? Preferably around spring time. Sending love

[@caricakes]

Love coincidences like those ahhhh!!!

[@PavlosPapageorgiou]

Huh, interesting life. It's funny how you came to Edinburgh and found everything absolutely wonderful. I live here but I'm an old curmudgeonly person. This summer we also went to Mull and Skye, seeing almost the same things you have in your videos. And I did arrange a long layover in Helsinki and went to the same coffee shop. Never been to Korea, but I work often in Japan.

[@backtoreads]

aaahh yay ive been waiting for your upload all day

[@caricakes]

I have arrived!!

This is a really amazing vlog, as always. Your videos really inspires me to try new things and enjoy more, thank you for that! Lots of love from Brazil 💜💜 I just wanted to add that the first background music was too loud sometimes :(

Cari, we love you “boring” vlogs! 🤗 plz never stop posting them. Maybe you could do a kind of guides or “what to do in....” kind of vids about your favorite areas in Seoul? Like “a day in 성수” or 종로 or 합정 ? Just an idea, feel free to dismiss it ☺️

[@joycetravelandfood]

Hi Cari! I always watch your videos. Maybe you can go to Nami Island for the autumn foliage? I saw Nami Island in pictures during fall and they look amazing. You can also probably collaborate with other KZbinrs there in Korea? More power to you!

Looks like beautiful weather in Seoul right now! I’m going next week from the U.K. so hopefully it will hold out 🤣🇰🇷
