a week of my life in seoul korea 📹 spring days, still settling in to our new apartment vlog

[@joyyboyy1]

The "thing" i love about your videos is that you notice things and show me what you notice - not just "look at this look at that" that makes seeing things through your life and "doing things with you" more compelling. Always keep the ramblings!!

[@caricakes]

thank you so much :'''')

[@hippie1325]

When she just picked up the branch with the really green leaves, I too thought it was nice that Cari assumably thought “oh, I should show this.” ❤

[@benjaminbrelje2289]

The only thing it probably wouldn't be is being in the actual Italy

[@thenanlife1141]

Absolutely , cari is so natural ❤❤❤❤

[@thenanlife1141]

Absolutely ❤❤❤

[@withcindy]

It was soooo nice meeting u IRL after watching u for so many years!! U were truly just like ur videos 🥺 I have the library of the unwritten on hold rn! Excited to check it out hehe

[@caricakes]

truly surreal :''') we need to start being on the same continent again more often!!!

[@KristinaMarie96]

I love how you will always do detail shots of stuff around you. Plants. Details in coffee shops. Stuff like that.

[@caricakes]

😌🌸🌳

[@joalgustas6498]

I swear, you need an internet award of some kind for your videos. Besides your amazing editing and sound work, they’re often educational and you do so much for S Korea and literature. They’re their own documentaries and besides being visually stunning, they’re fun and therapeutic. I love your work, and l hope someday, that you get some kind of recognition for all the work you do. It’s just SO different than what other BookTubers do! It’s not just being culturally different, but the stuff you do for your book videos are so unique as well. Who else makes wrap ups of book series with pictures on their walls!?! And it works! You’re so inspiring and so real. Thank you!

[@simone0745]

Cari your vlogs are highlight of my Sundays..whenever I feel stressed, overwhelmed I just watch your vlogs for a little escape ..always grateful to have come across such a beautiful being who just lightens up my day with her content!!..❤

[@caricakes]

grateful for you too!

[@shahmd6]

2:55 I dont know whats your stand on this, Cari but the fact that you looked up and film this, i take my hats off to you........Respect.

[@hippie1325]

I had the same feeling. Also, to ease your mind, Cari has posted about 🇵🇸 quite a bit over the last six, going on seven months. Her and Cindy have used their platforms to bring awareness to the cause ❤️

[@MidoriKaerux3]

Agree! It warms my heart to know where she stands (on the right side of history!) and that she is vocal about it.

[@ellias]

cariii you are an angel, so happy we got to meet irl finalllyyyyy 💖this vlog makes me miss korea but i just know it's getting major humid hot there rn lol

[@caricakes]

YOURE the angel! pls come back in autumn 🤍🤍🤍

[@maddie-sophie]

I really love your kind of noticing tiny things in your videos „the art of noticing small things“. Rain that turned into a small brook down the street, the sun dancing on the ground of the tram, cute plants in cafes or (my fav) filming every dog that comes along your way! That’s really the thing for me❤

[@Littledreamer0324]

I keep shazaming the music in your videos, it’s so relaxing and puts me in a great mood and the views you capture in your videos are so relaxing and beautiful!

[@caricakes]

thank you again!!!!

[@vielente]

My heart is happy every time I get a notification from your channels 🥹💌

항상 우리나라를 아름답게 담아주어 고맙습니다. 마음이 아름다운 사람 눈에는 아름다운것만 보이는걸까요 :)

[@Amanda_Rachelle]

This vlog did feel extra soothing! Loved seeing all of the tree and flower moments from your perspective. It reminded me to slow down and enjoy the small wonders around me too 😌🌸🌳

[@caricakes]

thank you!!!

[@alissedanielle]

i don’t know if this makes sense but i feel like your videos are your personal diaries sharing what makes you happy, your thoughts, sights and sounds, and it’s inspiring me to “live that same way “ ?? like sharing what makes me happy, little things about my day, my little ramblings not only in my journal, but capturing it and showing it to others. like you’re just sharing random updates with a close friend who is just so interested to know how your day went lolol all this to say is that im so happy to find your little corner of the internet, bc it makes me happy and reminds me to live life in the present, there are so many little things around me that are meant to be cherished 🍓🪷

[@emilyraats8058]

I really enjoy your less structured vlogs. Seeing freedom and exploration through your Lenz is fun and you feature lots of things I sometimes probably wouldn’t have stopped to look at or enjoy if by myself. Its fun to see the world how you do. I hope you feel comfortable letting us see the world the way you do more.

[@caricakes]

thank you thank you :)

[@marccolomayt82094]

love your Korean spring days vibe, Cari! I super enjoyed it❤

[@caricakes]

me too ❤ summer is fast approaching tho hahaha

[@kurls81]

This vlog felt really lovely and just flowed. The intro montage was full spring vibes 🌺🪻🌾

[@caricakes]

thank you :''''')

[@francescabull7944]

I've been in hospital for the past month and a half and I can't tell you how much I look forward to your vlogs each Sunday they make my day ! ❤

[@nuradibah9758]

happy to be watching your therapeutic sunday vlogs, and the flowers make me especially happy 🥹 have a great weekend Cari!

[@caricakes]

thank you! the flowers in may/june always surprise me :')

[@andywright9156]

My wife and I went to Seoul this April to visit our daughter. She is at language school learning Korean. We had a great time. Our favourite place for breakfast was "Thanks, oat" 21-10 Bukchon-ro, Jongno District. Love watching your videos reminding us of our trip

[@anyaguinzbourg8609]

this vlog was so lovely and relaxed, it felt like the perfect spring vlog! It made me want to get outside with a book 📚

[@caricakes]

i just headed out to read outside too hahah have a nice weekend!

[@Sass-o]

I’m Palestinian living in the US and it means so much to me that you are supporting Palestine, it warms my heart and the new house is so cozy and is making your vlogs even cozier, I love it and I hope you are happy now in it and adjusted because I know you were nervous to move out of your old house. Much love 💕

[@celiatiabmusiccc]

Your vlogs are so refreshing!! They do feel like og Cari vlogs in my opinion! Which is perfect! It’s 2am here in France and I can’t sleep and it’s just a lovely way to unwind 🫶🏼 thank you for creating such authentic and artistic content! Those highlighters are so nostalgic to me as they were the ones most students here would use! I could use them for months and months, they’re great quality! Also, where is your really cute olive bowl t-shirt from? It’s so freakin adorable 🥲

[@nospoonfulofmayonnaiseforme]

I love listening to you talk

[@caricakes]

:''')

[@gabbyreads]

This vlog is so cozy I love it! I’m so glad you’re loving your new place! I want to visit Seoul sooooo badly 💗

[@sj_sunshine]

I love watching your videos every Sunday morning with a cup of tea and my breakfast

[@caricakes]

hope your sunday is lovely~

[@sashabsanti]

Lovely vlog as always. I really enjoy your videos because like others have probably already said, it makes me feel like I'm watching life through your eyes. Really loving the vibe of the new place as well. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your life💕 ALSO, I love how you always show us all the cafes and nature all over Korea. It's nice to see it through the eyes of someone who lives there vs as someone visiting. It makes me really want to spend some time over there!

[@marleneloe]

sunday mornings truly are always for your videos 🤍 loved this one!! so calm and soothing :') enjoy the springggg

[@sashalake9204]

Thank you Cari, I love your videos so much

[@caricakes]

thank YOU!

[@hollyc4624]

So true that scents are a huge memory trigger for people. That is where that line from the twenty one pilots song Stressed Out - “Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young, How come I’m never able to identify where its coming from? I’d make a candle out of it, if I ever found it, Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I’d probably only sell one, it’s be to my brother because we have the same nose.” I love that line in the song because it is the same experience we all have, only for different combinations of smells and attached to different memories. And you were reading about the food scene in San Diego while wearing a food related shirt 😂❤

[@justinesworld5719]

As always a comfort watch at the end of a hard week! Thank you cari

[@caricakes]

hope next week is easier!

[@pucimup]

Hi Cari! Your videos always help me relax and I'm forever grateful ❤ happy Sunday!

[@caricakes]

happy sunday ❤❤❤

[@AshleyAwe]

Cari. Yes. It's strange... i thought your walk was different. Glad you are enjoying your new space.

[@caricakes]

we love it!!

[@joanahenriques8863]

Your videos are always so blissful and they remind me of how I want to live my life ❤ thank you for the weekly inspo/encouragement Cari!

[@kitfash]

Cari, your videos give me The opportunity to escape my normal life and jump into yours. Thanks for making it feel as if we are old friend meeting up every week. ❤

[@mirandahallowade]

I love your videos, they make me feel relaxed and inspired at the same time

[@angeladharmawan8535]

finally someone is talking about the library of the unwritten! one of my favs definitely ❤

[@pendragon2012]

Thank God for you! In the midst of another awful day, but I know I have a Cari video to look forward to. Beautiful cinematography! 🙂

[@caricakes]

we really have to stop with the awful days! who do we need to call about this hahaha

[@pendragon2012]

@@caricakes A my job and B my youngest child, lol.

[@arokives]

another comforting vlog!! i love the spring vibes, books, nature, and cafes in this video. also makes me want to explore more of the less touristy areas in seoul when i visit! ♥️

[@maylosaa]

Hi Cari! Just wanted to thank you for all your beautiful videos. They make the best companions while cooking, cleaning, ecc. I appreciate them/your work/you so much

[@caricakes]

thank YOu so much :'''')

[@deboramissoorten6765]

Thanks for taking us with you to see your new neighborhood , I always admire the flowers and the amount of café’s available to read or work 👌 .Ps I loved the T-shirt with the bowl of 🫒 👏🏻 . The weather looks so nice , here we have the wettest 🌧️💨spring ever 😫. I wish you a wonderful time in your new apartment 🍀

[@cookiejar.mp3]

love the nature books and coffee in ur vlogs it makes me feel at peace

[@giovannashiroma9470]

it was definitely different from your other vlogs! It could be the energy of the new neighborhood, the summer vibes, seeing friends...I enjoyed it :)

[@christineayuste]

AHHHH so fun watching my fav KZbinrs meet! Loveee watching you, Cindy, and Ellias!! Also love how I started listening to Chappell Roan this week and you mention her too 😆💕

[@daisydog]

I just realized that I have been planning to have a Cari-vlog-life staycation for myself in a couple of months. I was thinking through how to spend my vacation days for the rest of this year while being low cost and decided I would like to spend a few days trying cafes and reading. Now I know where I got the idea!

[@isyjelly]

loved this vlog and loved, loved, loved when you read a passage aloud from the short story!! In general I love hearing things read aloud, prose especially. And here, it was such a new experience to *hear* rather than just see where a passage fit into your life / daily vlog

[@starrwinter]

It’s so nice here in Alberta Canada we are ACTUALLY GETTING A REAL SPRING this year with tons of rain and cooler temps! Normally we have been at 25+ already the past couple of years, but the cool and rain was needed 🌱 🌸

[@caricakes]

loooooove!

[@tinagarcia3571]

Loved this video , it reminded me of the travel videos you do when discovering a new city. Loved the wild flowers.

[@nathansnook]

so so glad the Gnade book is making its mark on you! so rare do we ever get books that speak directly to us that makes home feel a bit more closer to the heart

[@mhn7700]

I always love your videos and the coziness and happiness and the thoughts you start in me with your ramblings, so I like it extra much when you yourself is happy with your result and get to feel some of what I feel when watching :) also, super appreciate that you always list everything so detailed in the description. it's so helpful and thoughtful :')

[@BarbaraBoholm]

Cari you said it feels different in a good way with your vlogs and i can just say that you look more relaxed,you glow from within and just in the now after your move... Your home is a very cozy homey place,and it always takes a little time with details like art on the wall or furniture,bookshelves etc. But i am so happy for you guys that you have this new neighborhood to explore and make it your own💖🫂🌷🌱🫖🍵🥧Warm hugs to you and Kurt🍀🤗

[@a.m.a04]

Ramble all you want is part of sharing things 😉

[@tannie2451]

Watching your videos is always so bittersweat, because they make me miss Seoul so much! You really manage to capture the magic of Seoul so perfectly ❤️

[@Wesleyy-87]

We just recently found out about your channel. But we are already in love. The editing, your way of telling a story. It's amazing! We are already at the part where we are feeling extra happy when your notification pops up

[@teatime3204]

Omg the little doggo with their head scarf 🥹 Love the little moments in your vlog.

[@ohthenoveltea]

Ohh I love the Hells Library series! Can't resist books about books especially in fantasy settings

[@Icebearteaches]

I just wanna let you know cari, that I check my notifs everyday hoping you'd post, coz, woman, I love your videos and the vibe and the book recs and the blogging style!!

[@larissaprates1384]

As a watched this video all throughout I had a smile plastered on my face, and I was thinking “wow, this vlog is different, something in it is just 🥹 yes” and then you literally voiced my thoughts hahahaha you tend to do that a lot, voice what i’m thinking or an opinion I have! I’m hitting that like button so I can always come back to it ❤

[@womenarehealing]

it's a beautiful vlog; there's so many things we miss while we rush to live this life that only needs us to observe, notice, enjoy.

[@hamba1998]

Your videos inspire me to go out and experience life more - today I got a pastry from a vegan cafe and sat to read my book (Crescent City 3) in a public plant house in a park, and it just felt so nice to take a little bit of time and treat myself to that!

[@JL10199]

I got two bookmarks there after seeing your video! They’re adorablllllleeee. I use them constantly. I have the rope one and also the metal letter opener type. 😍

[@carolinetaylor6757]

I love your vlogs, they are just ‘perfect’. Informative, interesting and funny. It’s like I am there. You show so many beautiful places. I have watched you for a while now and I so look forward to finding out what beautiful places and cafe’s you are taking us to. My daughters boyfriend is from China and living with me and he came in the other day and said ‘ oh it’s Carrie’!!!! So now we watch together💐💐💐

[@nataschasongbird]

Cari sundays are the best🥰 Library of the unwritten has been on my tbr for ages, so seems I finally need to read that as well. Also making tons of notes right now for where to go when i‘m back in Seoul in October ✍🏻

[@BlondeGranny70]

Its always nice to see Namsan tower ! Congrats on your new apartment !

[@Saszz]

Maybe the difference with this vlog is that you were being gentle with yourself! And so you were able to capture naturally and without pressure 😊

I love your vlogs. They make me feel cozy :) The roses you came across were beautiful, I hope they smelled as good as they looked. Take care!!

i love how you film the trees and flowers on your way, its so cute and healing! i also find being in nature the best way of keep myself in good terms with my mental health, although theres not an amount of parks i could go just like your videos. oh and that book of the library in hell?? omggg It seems so good, im really sad that it hasnt come to Brasil yet 😭😭 PS: your videos are always so sweet, i really like it! btw, i came from your book channel
