a perfect autumn day in my life in seoul, korea VLOG

Hi everyone! I'm back in Seoul with more Korea in autumn vlogs and the season is just starting to kick up steam here. Probably by the time this is posted, the leaves will all be changed :) I checked my photos from last year and our first snow in 2018 was November 24 so we've got to enjoy this month as best we can before the long winter haha. I hope you enjoyed my simple day in the life and I have successfully cured my jet lag since filming this so all is well!! See you next time~

Turns out the cure for my jetlag was staying up until 3am binging designated survivor season 1 again and then crashing until 9am. I'm back!

[@humblepebble]

Watching s1 of Designated Survivor too... the American one... Tom Kirkman is the ideal President.

Hello. My friends and I were planning for a 5-day trip to Seoul next year. We really want to witness the beautiful yellow and red leaves. But I'm still confused as to when is the best time to visit in order to witness the beautiful fall foliage. Can you give as an advice? Is first week of november the best time?

[@myaimagines5475]

me: why the hell would anyone go out looking for grass? you: *shows pink grass* me: oh, that’s why.

[@caricakes]

hehehe

[@lipglass]

it’s a shame autumn is so short because it’s sooo beautiful! i hope i get to experience it in seoul soon too 🍂🎃

[@caricakes]

LOL i feel you! i was sooo hungry and then the recipe was like 'roast the tomatoes for 45 min' i was like -______- and thank you always! sending you love right back~

[@annawilhelm9697]

And again such a nice vlog! With your filming the grass and the flowers and the sunlight, it created a really wonderful warm dreamy autumn mood like these autumn days, where it is still warm and sunny, but there is also the good bye of the summer and a cool breeze of autumn in the air, this short, beautiful period until it gets uncomfortable. That was the mood your vlog gave me. Thanks for this moment.

[@caricakes]

thank you so much what a beautiful feeling!!!

[@rach.94]

waitwaitwait, i'm reading that book now too after reading it years ago for school and the bookmark i'm using is green as well 😂 your videos truly make me want to pack my life and move to seoul, it looks like there's so much to do and explore

[@caricakes]

bahaha love coincidences like that!! and ahhhh hope you at least visit one day!!!!

[@heavenfxeyesforsale]

OMG it's cari time!! Today is literally my 2nd day off and I'm watching your videos all day! 🤣 Staying in this rainy/undecided autumn day 🤗

[@caricakes]

wahhhhh have a lovely rest of your day^^~

[@nikkidionson1069]

Autumn there is just too pretty 😭 i wish we booked for autumn but we’ll be there 1st week of dec if our visa gets approved 😂

[@caricakes]

First week of dec is still lovely 😍😍😍

[@darlyndelight]

You struggling up that upslope is something I very much relate to due to my uni having notorious steep hills that kill me as I walk to classes

[@caricakes]

who even thought building a road there was a good idea hahahaha

[@waterwitch8902]

Hocus pocus is a must watch. I have it playing while I decorate, bake , everything Halloween. That soup got me in the mood for some. Loved the walk so pretty. Thanks for the video always relaxing. Blessed be

[@caricakes]

i always feel like its too hyped up during halloween and then i watch it and remember how great it is hahaha

[@waterwitch8902]

@@caricakes that's true, but it's so good and I've watched it so many times I just enjoy hearing it as I'm doing things.

[@ThePricklyash]

That soup with bread and cheese looked amazing 😩

[@BeeMac86]

Man, I was watching Hocus Pocus as well, I LOVE this movie! Walking through the streets of Seoul is a tremendous workout 😂

[@caricakes]

the hills here are so crazy sometimes hahahah

[@starry_skies]

I love how into the fall spirit you got in this video: Having apple cider, eating tomato soup, watching Hocus Pocus, and using a halloween theme bath bomb 😁

[@corinashi]

everytime you visit the sky park you make me so happy!! it's too beautiful~~ 😍 the donuts look so yummy!! (my bff had a "cupcakes cake" as her wedding cake! 👌)

Autumn in korea is so beautiful... love your vlogs, binge watching your vlogs now. More power! 😊

[@BB-wc7fg]

I was there two weeks ago and I have to SAY the videos and photos don’t do it justice!! The climb up is lovely too but if you’re already feel hot like cari then the cart is good idea lol also October is a lovely time to go to Korea

[@caricakes]

its really pretty!

[@deidremay702]

So enjoying working my way through your vlogs, Cari. Your style is so natural and relatable. We have South Korea on my bucket list now. You have definitely shown us what a very cool destination it is. Love it! Thank you so much for sharing, Cari. Looking forward to learning more. 🇦🇺🐨🌻

[@caricakes]

thank you so much!

[@joanahenriques8863]

Your videos make me so happy!! 😊 And Seoul looks like such a beautiful and magical city ❤️ Thank you for showing it to us

[@caricakes]

thank YOU always!

[@skeldkxxi]

I've been to seoul before but watching your videos makes me want to go there again and instead of doing the touristy stuff, i'd love to just hang out at local coffee shops, have a picnic and just chill. Seoul really has that comfort and chill vibe, or at least that's what i feel when watching your videos ☺️

[@caricakes]

Touristy stuff is good for the first time but definitely come back and live like a local 😍

[@cassie7thomson]

Totally agree with you on those shirts, and those donuts look delish

[@Itsautumnslife]

The unmelted cheese, whyyyy 😫🤣💞

[@caricakes]

Hahah i find that when i melt it it loses some of its bite and i like a strong cheese 😍

[@annaschelds]

The Sky Park looks stunning! If such place was near me I feel I would be a regular visitor.

[@ekaterinakuznetsova9348]

thank you for everithinng you done for us

[@dawnforlife]

Yummmm! I would have devoured donut while cooking. I'm surprised how the tomato soup kept you full for so long! I think it's the sleep too. I noticed sometimes if I take a nap, I won't feel hungry when I wake up. hehe.

[@caricakes]

also those slices of bread were THICK! hahah

[@dawnforlife]

@@caricakes OHHH yea! ahahah I forgot how korean bread can be an inch thick! ahahah

[@nataschasongbird]

I instantly thought of cotton candy! When I was at Sky Park, we didn‘t go around the whole park though...maybe that‘s why I haven‘t seen the cotton candy grass ㅠㅠ But it was still so beautiful!

[@allanina]

Oh, autumn is so pretty! I heard that is the best time of the year to visit south Korea because the weather is nice and the places look pretty. I wish I could see some day! 🥰 Thank you for sharing Cari, have a nice week! 💜💜

[@caricakes]

i always suggest october for anyone planning to come to seoul, its so nice!! and thank you, have a great week too!

hi! i’ve always been looking forward to your vlogs, capture the simpliest things and yet the best things in life... just a great feeling indeed! ☺️

하늘공원 정말 예쁘죠🥰 서울에서 제일 좋아하는 장소 중에 하나예요 작년에는 사람 적을때 가서 좋았었는데 올해는 주말 오후쯤에 갔더니 억새보다 사람들이 더 많더군요..캐리님처럼 아침일찍 가는게 정답인가봐요ㅎㅎ영상에서 평화로운 하늘공원의 분위기가 잘 느껴지네요🌾🍂

[@malonprischer3121]

As always excellence choice of music! Thats such an important factor

[@yada_ice1098]

This makes me want to go there alone, look at the nature, close my eyes and listen and just do nothing. Nature​ help​s relax.

The pink grass looks beautiful! I was thinking of cotton candy and then you described it like that:)

[@caricakes]

too bad its definitely not soft like cotton candy in real life hahaha

Wow Autumn in koera is so pretty! In Australia we get one week of orangey-brown (mostly brown tho) leaves on the non-native trees that are deciduous (which tend to be few and far between) and then everything just dies.
