a weekend of my life in seoul, korea VLOG | cafes, palaces, and books

Another beautiful spring weekend here in Seoul! Korea has been blessed with some absolutely gorgeous weather and with the situation here almost completely under control, I thought I'd finally venture to the other side of the river and visit a new cafe in Ikseondong along with my favorite palace in the city :) Hope you don't mind a bit of lazy at home content too, cause I have plenty of that. Sending love as always!!

You mentioned feeling a little self conscious about showing your outings lately but for me, it’s wonderful to continue to see your life in Seoul! I love your illustrations and sketches in the video too. :) Watching your videos helps me feel like I’m walking around with you and exploring even though I’m stuck inside.

[@caricakes]

Thank you so much ✨🙏

[@farahrabbi2009]

Hello 😘Aaaaaaaah such a refreshing video. Coz we all r stuck in home now seeing u walking with nature is like breathing out aaaaaaaaaaaaaah🥰😍♥️ I am really missing South korea because last year I was there exactly this date, really nice to see u at palace which are now my most beautiful memories and yes my 1st ever girls trip 🤟🏼 thanks to my cousin, she help out lots with locations♥️

[@mollymo6229]

Same

[@hopeborgmann6905]

I like that korean cafes are so calm and they actually let you stay after you finish your meal. In other places it would be like : "Do you want another coffee?" or basically get kicked out.

[@caricakes]

Omg I’ve literally stayed in a cafe for 5+ hours before ahhahah

[@kimjack1000]

Hopefully, customers are at least self aware enough to order enough to make it worth it for cafe owners. Small cafe owners in Korea have said that some people just stay for 8 hours with their laptops and electronics being charged while only ordering 1 or 2 $1 coffees, so they're actually losing money.

[@hopeborgmann6905]

@@kimjack1000 I agree , I mean there has to be a balance . I just feel that it's rude to be asked to buy a new coffee or product in a cafe for example where prices start at like $6/7 every 30-45min. (for example). I just can't spend that much money . I know ...in that case that person could go to the library but it's just nice to work in a calm surrounding without any pressure still staying conscious that you have to consume enough to actually help the owners. So I agree😊

[@caricakes]

kimjack1000 i agree with this but where are the cafes with coffee for $2 cause i need that haha in seoul minimum coffee price is probably $4 at least 🤧

[@hopecha1788]

Most of the time seoul cafes are expensive bc you're mostly paying for a sitting fee.

[@grandmaninni5024]

This might sound a little bit repetetive, but I cant stress enough how much energy,inspiration and just happiness refill your videos bring me!💪🏻🌼 Watching someone who also loves things that I love(like going to cafés,walking in parks and taking pictures of trees and plants😂😁😍🍃 etc) is such a confidence booster! As someone who gets energy and can really enjoy my alone time, as well as exploring places on my own. Watching someone a little older than me showing that that is not something wrong or weird but simply my own way and that is okay means soo much to me and has brought me so much mental peace! Thank you as always!🌾🌸🧡🌼

[@caricakes]

Yesss! Independence and loving the little things 🥰 thank you always truly 😭🙏

[@alyssatorres7389]

seoul seems like a dream. so many cafes!!!! don’t know if would help my caffeine addiction tho...

[@caricakes]

Especially when americano/espresso is always the cheapest thing on the menu hahhaha

[@opheliaplays6131]

for a person who's been quarantined for over 50 days with a whole country in lockdown (i'm from italy) your videos are a source of happiness for me. i feel like i'm the one taking those walks. thank you.

[@kathier.9359]

this is exactly how i feel too

[@opheliaplays6131]

@Jojo i know they will, i'm sure of it. i hold on to that to keep me going. thanks ♡

[@pvtacc7720]

Stay strong Italy 🇮🇹🇰🇷

[@sosodiary1]

tenniechu hope the situation in Italy and other countries improves soon. It seemed hopeless at first but things are coming under control here in Korea so I am sure other countries will soon follow suit. Stay safe, love from Korea 💕

[@tweetyjoy7]

Me too. Quarantined at home for past 2 weeks. Vlogs kept me going while i did housework or schoolwork as I am a teacher. From Singapore n love the music n places in yr vlog. Thk you Carri! Haha..sorry for sounding really random.😉

[@gpark2030]

I am a Korean grad student in the US. Actually, I lived in Seoul for about 10 years, but I've never seen the city in this way. Whenever I watch your videos, I feel like I wanna go back to Seoul!

[@caricakes]

I love how everyone can see a city so differently 😍 hope you can come visit again soon!!

[@velyvely6479]

do it!!

[@irishlasslee7385]

I think people need to get fresh air when they can. Staying cooped up at home and not going out isn’t completely healthy either. Here in the states, I live near and work in, a really small country town. My parents have sixteen acres so I have plenty of space for fresh air. Ughhh... I am so envious of all the great cafes you have there! 😭maybe one day I’ll get to Seoul. Stay safe!

[@caricakes]

That sounds so nice! I’d love to have a lot of space like that 😍

[@victoriabarnett242]

2:03 Your sketch is so detailed and so beautifully drawn! You have been such an inspiration for me in terms of expressing myself through art. I feel really excited to simply draw and paint without being critical of my own creations and having no expectations but rather enjoying the process. Thank you!

[@sannedelange3158]

Hi cari! I just wanted to say that brought up an interesting point about the greenery in cities. We've touched upon it during my geography lessons: the amount of greenery often has to do with in what time period the city was built. Because in cities that where build when they had someone of noble living in it (those from the middle ages / renaissance/ dynasties) often have not only a protective feature, like a city wall, but also places for leisure, like parks. Because people of status valued those things, as it was a luxury to have free time and to spend it outside doing nothing while in the shade. Even if those parks used to be owned by nobility they're now public spaces and owned by the government. You can see that cities build during industrial development and revolutions tend to have less greenery and often ones that have only been placed "recently". Because during those times people barely had any free time and no one in the city valued nature to the point they would invest money and time into creating a public space for it. Ofcourse in modern times even the cities build during industrial times try to put greenery into place, because we now know how good nature is for us.

[@lilyann8080]

a vlog including cafes, palaces, books, and so many sweet moments? yes please! like these bring me so much joy 🤍🌸📖

[@JuliaKeita]

my list of cafes to visit in seoul keeps getting longer each video i watch ❣️❣️

[@caricakes]

But same 😂🤧

[@najyaindra2292]

idk why but everytime you uploaded your weekend vlog all I can think about is "omg which cafe she's gonna show us now?!" 😂 also, been studying for college entrance exam for weeks now and everytime I have a 5 minute break, I came to your channel and pick a video. thank you for another virtual escape ❤️

[@caricakes]

Heheh and best of luck with your exam omg!!

[@najyaindra2292]

@@caricakes thank you!!!

[@natscorner]

Why does all the food in Korea look so delicious? 😍 and yes I’m amazed at the greenery in Seoul too! I told my mum about it and she was surprised too. I bet sometimes you forget you live in the city😊 The Six of Crows duology is the best! Still can’t get over all that happened in Crooked Kingdom...

[@caricakes]

Always 😭🤧

[@mimishimaineko1173]

The coloring book (art as therapy!) is a great idea. I would suggest a serial: "A Taste of Seoul" (so you can include sights, cafes, foods, etc., anything that you visit/taste and love), but it would be much, much better than penny dreadfuls! ;)

[@kuko333]

had a rough, sad-ish evening and i completely forgot that you were supposed to upload was a pleasant surprise that lifted my mood thanks

[@caricakes]

Hope tomorrow is much better!!

[@velyvely6479]

same! youtube is the only outside life most of us are experiencing right now

[@guankstudios]

I really want to move to South Korea! I am only 13 though and I am in San Elijo California so it probably wont be in a long time but I love watching these videos to learn about this beautiful country!

[@caricakes]

You can use that time to study Korean! 🥰

[@guankstudios]

Yea same! I'm 13 as well and my dream is to pursue my dreams in South Korea and live there. Stay safe! Hope from NZ 💜

[@alois920]

i live in a big city in france and it clearly isn't as green as seoul but we have this super nice national park, with a lake, a lot of plants, trees, a huge greenhouse... it really feels like being out of the city for a few hours i always enjoy spending time there

[@caricakes]

Ohhh sounds lovely!!

[@alois920]

[@sabinassketchbook]

Kurt looking at the dog with all the love possible: yes, that's the sign you choosed the perfect human being to have by your side!❤️

[@T_1.5]

Honestly you had me at books, my inner bookworm was HYPED

[@caricakes]

Hahahha the books I’m reading now are bringing me PAIN 😂😭

[@hajrahasan3014]

Watching the back log of Cari vids was such a good choice! I originally found her through her book channel during the pandemic. Cant believe im seeing the signs of the book channel being born❤

[@sophievng]

I love your vlogs! Especially given that the majority of people can’t travel right now 😢 It definitely makes me smile to see your little explorations. Can’t wait to travel again.

[@caricakes]

You’ll be out and about soon😭🙏

[@faniepeque]

Where I live all, non essential business are closed so it's interesting to me seeing coffee shops open in korea and that people actually go outing for leisure during this time.

[@wenz4195]

I miss Seoul so much ,in the past three years i almost spent three month in Seoul each year, especially during the spring to summer time . Love the scenery of the blossom and also the variety of cafes , there so many places combine with modern and clam, also if you go there I also recommend you to visit the museum and the Art exhibit in Seoul. Seoul is the city with full of culture and modernization. I wish I could go back there soon .

[@kathylee3230]

I am Korean and leaving in Melbourne, Australia. It's been 15years leaving in oversea. Your video really makes me wanna go back to Korea.😭 Thank you for the beautiful video!!😍

[@sofire3396]

i got goosebumps when you were walking around the secret garden, it’s so pretty! And as you were waving at the camera I waved back 😂 I really like your videos, they are always really calming and they make me kinda happy, I really appreciate that

[@tthompson257]

Yay! More Cari! How are you doing? Also I wanted to say, I absolutely love watching you go around places. It makes me feel less hopeless and like we will never leave our homes again. Here in America it's pretty rough so seeing you go around is a breath of fresh air! Thank you for your videos!

[@caricakes]

We’re all going to get through this!!

[@morganuluvme]

I grew up in Yellowknife, NWT Canada, so it definitely isn't as green as Seoul, at least not for as long. Springs are usually stormy and grey, but summers with night-long sunsets and the northern lights in the winter, I can't really complain! Absolutely loving your vlogs, as always. 🌸💕

[@myriamliv7121]

I live in Strasbourg, France and even though there are a lot of parks it would neverrr be as green as Seoul! I went to the guided tour of the palace during august and I felt like I was in a mountain :O

[@MusicNightMoments]

Thank you so much Cari!!! I was supposed to be flying out to Seoul yesterday, so I would have been there today living my best life ;( but this video is helping me see Korea again without actually going, thank you

[@julias.9407]

The most adorable thing in this vlog is Cari regretting that she didn't make a wish, when she blew the puffball. 🌸✨ Oh and of course Kurt being blown away by the corgi and "so handsome".

[@sophieyoung4574]

I absolutely love your channel! ❤️ Thank you so much!!! You have such a wonderful talent. The cinematography is amazing!! I found you a couple of weeks ago and I am so grateful. It’s helping me get through this lockdown (in England, week 5 or maybe 57 of confinement, I don’t know now) Working from home is crazy busy and when I need a break I turn on a video to heal my heart a little before getting back to the grind. I love seeing you go out and about, enjoying coffee and cake, wandering around - it’s such a joy to see. I’m living vicariously through you! Going through your channel watching past videos, touring different places, so wonderful! Whether you are out and about or talking from home, I love them all!! I have such a long list of things I now want to see and do and also it gives me confidence to go alone. My Korean is very basic and studying as much as I can, my next class (at a language school) was supposed to begin last week but is deferred until September so I have to try to keep with it by myself - motivation 💪 I can do it! Thank you again ❤️❤️❤️

[@kosukenamekawa3270]

Maybe it's because you're staying in Seoul for quite some time,or maybe it's because you've visited other places a couple of times already,but I really appreciate how whenever you do go to certain places,it's never crowded.It's like the universe meant for it to happen and I'm so happy it did because it makes it even more magical

[@waterwitch8902]

You know I've watched you for along time. I remember the basement apt. Lol I look forward to these videos because I feel like I'm walking with you visiting all the cafes, book stores, museums etc. SD is great you know, so I get best of both worlds with your videos. Everyone stay happy, healthy, and safe. Blessed be

[@caricakes]

🥰

[@rach.94]

Totally laughed out loud when you realized you forgot to make a wish 😂 But maybe that means that right now you are so content or happy with your life that you didn't need to ❤️ Personally I love watching your videos 'cause it gives me a bit of a sense of normalcy, you show us such beautiful places and a lot of greenery/nature/trees/flowers which is one of the things I miss the most about going out and honestly my heart feels warm by the end 😊

[@caricakes]

Hahahha thats a great way of looking at it!

[@emilyoshields1931]

Hi! Just wanted to say that your videos make my day. Normally I am always on the go. I don’t like to not be out doing things. Seeing you go out and have fun (while still being careful) is so refreshing. It’s like it teleports me and I’m there with you. Which is much more fun then the reality of me laying in bed doing homework. Have a fantastic day! Stay healthy!!

[@jessicadaniel9333]

I live in Portland, Oregon. Yes, our city is this green. But, it’s a much smaller city. Thank you, for sharing. ❤️

[@fallingstars4271]

as someone who loves korea and only regularly watches 2 youtubers based in korea, watching this makes me feel happy as it’s one of the few mediums to access korea in a more engaging manner 🥰 kinda bumped that my summer school this year got cancelled so watching such vids kinda does lift my spirits, love ur vids as usual!

[@ivyandpages]

My favourite type of video :) drawing, talking about books, studying, cafes and nature. The nature part fills me with happiness because I miss nature so much right now. Thank you for inspiring me every day Cari !

[@Vanessa0516]

Your perspectives shown through the videos are super satiating to my soul thirsty for greens and refreshing air outside. I'm in a personal situation where I can't leave my house except for maybe two hours early in the morning. Used to be someone who loves walking around paths untaken and vintage shop hopping, I'm struggling to stay calm and equable. Your videos are very soothing and quenching for my thirst for exploration. So thank you.

[@lafilledelalune]

I appreciate a lot the fact that you addressed the feelings of your viewers! At first, I wasn't planning to watch these videos cause I've been in lockdown for two months now and I went out only 4 times to go the pharmacy and I feel like a lost spring, my favourite season. I'm just like you, I love going to places to find my favourite plants and flowers, I wait for this moment all year. But you know what? You do things with such kindness that I watched every single one of these videos cause I felt like I was doing these walks with you and I still got my little piece of springs even in full lockdown, so thanks :)

[@nalaa9618]

Im always so impressed how you manage to normally live in Korea ♡ For me it was hard because I was anxious of speaking Korean but to see you walk around the same streets I did, visit the same places I visited and do the normal things I did when I was there for 2 months calms my mind. You're such an inspiration 💛 love from Germany

[@claudiaaraujo-pd1zw]

That was also my favourite palace when I visited a year ago - breathtaking! We actually just walked in - didn´t notice we would have to enter with a guided tour. I guess we got lucky! Bonus kitty makes it even more beautiful!

[@cappuccinopapi3038]

Being still in lockdown here in Milan these videos of you going around the Seoul are literally like a breath of fresh air. Plus the music never disappoints.

[@karenjeansantos]

I have come to love iced coffee thanks to your vids :) wandering around that secret garden by yourself was such a precious moment.. I was with a group before and haven't really got to enjoy and take in it's beauty.. now with the lockdown and local city officers around town, I would just go up to our rooftop and take photos and videos of the blue and purple skies, lush trees, birds and sunsets! grateful for the simple things in front of me.. know that your videos encourage me a lot to be more intentional and appreciative. You're amazing!

[@jessica-rm5co]

Six of crows is one of my favourite books ... ever. I always get super excited, when I see other people like it 😊

[@momogirl1239]

I think its okay for you to go visit cafes and stuff as long as you take safety measures. I don't think it's wrong with going out at all (except travelling to places), we all need a break from being stuck in our houses anyways. Love your videos btw! ♡

[@caricakes]

🙏🙏🙏

[@RaymondwLin]

I still can't put my finger on what it is about your video that is calming, is it your music choices, the simple things that you observe, the happiness energy you have or your smile (behind the mask). So, thank you!

[@caricakes]

Hahaha thank YOU!

[@CarinaCoffee]

Cari I mentioned this on my Insta story, please don't be self-concious about these vlogs, you explained the situation in Korea, so the regulars here know it and we enjoy coming along with you! There's no fomo for me. Actually thanks to my allergies I can't enjoy spring like this anyway (I wish I could enjoy it more, but I usually stay inside), so it's really awesome how much it feels as though I'm there with you! And the vlogs are soooo relaxing to watch! That café sketch was so pretty and the aesthetic of you stirring your drink in that last café, it's those little things that bring me joy. Plus the Changdeokgung footage reminded me so much of places I've been to in China when I studied abroad there for a year! I got struck by memory so suddenly and intensely, it almost felt like homesickness (I'm European so it doesn't make sense, maybe call it travel sickness?)

[@cassandraland3269]

I really enjoy watching your videos even though I am stuck in home. We just had our stay-at-home order extended through the end of May. It's nice to see others being able to enjoy life outside of the house. ;) Thanks so much for sharing your cafe time with us!

[@dinakhistina9307]

I feel so nostalgic I’ve been to Korea three times on holiday and seeing the secret garden makes me reminisce on such fun times in my life. Hoping that we can get to have fun times again soon. Stay safe cari ! Love the videos as always

[@ohsugarblitz]

We're still quarantined here in Mexico City (and it seems we're going to be like this for a while still), so watching your vlogs and being able to explore places with you is thoroughly enjoyable! It also makes me realize there's a lot of stuff you can do while at home, such as reading, painting, drawing, studying or learning new stuff, trying out new recipes, and I think I'll definitely start to do those more often. It's always nice to get the notification when a new video is up and be able to distract myself for at leats 15 to 20 minutes, so thank you!

[@montanavince7843]

Nothing but joy from these videos!! I would be going to coffee shops and exploring if I wasn't stuck at home so its really comforting to watch.

[@karenyuan5887]

Thank you so much for your vlogs, i love them !

[@kian7979]

these make my day so much better

[@marciapeschke7988]

I feel a sense of comfort in seeing you do daily things. I also see you being as cautious as possible. I miss visiting cafes in Korea. And the music in your videos just creates this sense of wonder and child like curiosity. That's keeping my hope alive. I also feel that videos like this offer an idea of how we will slowly adjust to being in public spaces. I say this because S Korea was hit really hard by the rona before most places. So it has, in many ways, shown how to move through it. Thank you for this. Seeing you with the dandelion was also just a nice reminder of child like joy ✌️

[@orphcfy]

Cari~ your daily life is aesthetic as ever. I am living in Seoul by the way but I really like watching how chill you are going about your day in this crazy city. When I think of Seoul, I see crowded sidewalks, busy people living with their fast-paced life, but when I see your videos, I honestly feel peace and somehow makes me realize I should look more on the brighter side.

[@robinsharpable]

I looooooove watching the videos of your outings! Whenever I'm starting to feel a little stuck and down, watching one of your vlogs is the surest way that I've found to energize me! During regular life, my favourite thing to do is go to for a walk around the city and end up at a cafe and read or draw or journal... and watching you do it is the next best thing to doing it myself. You are actually preforming a valuable public service by letting us live vicariously through you right now.

I trust that you're being safe and your little adventures really help me feel at peace 😊 Loved all that greenery, still waiting on leaves here in New England 🥺🍃

[@client1024]

It is really suprising that Seoul has such massive and beautiful parks with abundance of greens! Here in my city, Manila, the idea of the majority of parks are just not-so-big-scale turf with few benches and trees 😅 Can't wait until travelling outside is permissible again and I would definitely go straight to Seoul! 😆 P.S. Honestly, I'm grateful to watch your little travels in midst of this crisis since me myself couldn't do it here in my country because the ECQ rules are strict. But do always take care and keep safe~ ❤

[@lissettereynaga601]

I live in florida and now the trees and flowers are starting to liven up! Currently most parks and state parks are closed so I cant really enjoy nature to the fullest, but where I live there are enough trees to enjoy it enough. Seeing you out and about is really relaxing 😊

The secret garden is so stunning! I couldn't stop imaging how it looks during the autumn season 😍 i loved your drawing in the cafe. I think the owner would be very happy to see your work~

So happy seeing the Secret Garden in this vlog! I absolutely fell in love with it the first time I visited Seoul (2011) and sworn to myself that if I ever had the chance to travel again to Seoul I must visit Secret Garden every time. So far, I've been back 2 more times, always beautiful, but I'm still hoping to see it in Autumn foliage and full bloom Spring.
