I just have to say, this vlog has such a lovely and romantic tone to it. You two "get each other" and the way you care about each other is so apparent. Thank you for sharing this experience with us!

[@okjessicah]

I can totally see you and Drew living in the Cotswolds. You both look so happy.

[@Stephanie-px5jf]

I grew up driving the back roads. It’s much better than a crowded freeway with angry drivers, wrecks, and construction. Y’all be safe and have a great time ❤

[@rxxrcousin]

Are you English at all? I know when people return to the native lands of their blood they can often feel extremely at home and comfortable. I have a lot of English heritage so I feel I will be so comfy there when I go one day!

[@juanitacarrollyoung2979]

Carrie, I'm finding your England travel vlogs SO soothing and wholesome in the midst of what's going on in the world. I'm seriously sad about how my US tax dollars are being spent in the Holy Land. Prayers for Peace!! ☪️🕊✡️💜💜

[@natashamoore2660]

I am living for these England vlogs 😍 and I live in England but I just love watching you explore and your excitement and love for it. When you next visit you have to go to Stratford Upon Avon, you'd love it ❤️

[@judyneedspockets]

I've always loved that the old towns in Europe are so walkable. I lived in Southern Germany for a year as a teenager and in Iceland for 2 years when I was young (my 1st husband is Icelandic and we had two kids so they are half Icelandic). Fun, fun, fun.

[@stephaniew7330]

I can definitely see you and Drew moving to a small place like this. How cute. You can tell that this place makes you so happy and living your best life. ❤

[@MarlaSurette]

just started watching but had to say your hair & makeup looks sooo good! ❤

[@bluaurora8635]

She’s glowing!

[@brookeg5979]

Please don't feel you have to make content. Yes, we all love it (and live vicariously through you!) and yes your family loves it and you probably do too....but just take the bits you want to keep for yourself and your family and enjoy your holiday with Drew. It's been such a tough road this year, give yourself that gift. *hugs *

[@brianai7986]

The Bourton-on-the-Water mini village gives me so much life. And the mini village WITHIN the mini village?! Just wow

[@qkritten]

I (American) have lived in England for 7 years and I have to say that the driving here is a nightmare- the roads are narrow af, people park anywhere they feel like it, and the drivers are really aggressive. I’m so impressed with your diving here, it’s still nerve wracking for me, even after so long!

[@thewealduk9802]

I have lived in this country considerably longer, travelled widely, and wouldn't live anywhere else. Yes, country roads are narrow, because they are so old, and I love them. I respect your views on aggressive drivers but this is not my experience, in fact, you have to drive considerately or you wouldn't get anywhere.

[@taarynmaadison]

this vlog made me realize that i’m also an english countryside girlie 🥹🩷 anyone else?

[@mgin384]

I love getting Christmas ornaments on my trips. It's not something I have all year, so it's a lovely little reminder when I put them out of the box to put on my tree each year. I haven't seen anyone else doing it (I know they must, because plenty of places sell them as souvenirs). So it was sweet to see you do it as well.

[@kittymukki]

First of all: THAT HAIRCOLOR OB YOU IS AMAZING!!!!! :) Sencondly, you make me wanna travel to England now, damn it :D

[@AmberSunny1]

I’m living vicariously because I just watched the Holiday and omg!

[@rxxrcousin]

I LOVE pubs too. Simple, tasty, filing food. Good drinks. Cozy. UGH.

[@kathyjam2482]

I would love to be there at Christmas time I bet it is even more amazing.

[@DelaneySearsWebb]

Stop the Cotswolds vibes are so cute. Giving cozy fantasy vibes to the max.

[@annatigges8058]

Has Drew ever heard about the Miniaturwunderland in Hamburg? - he would enjoy that!

[@alisastevens2508]

Watching this in the pickup line for my kids, and I probably look like such a goober with this huge smile plastered on my face. You two are just so lovely and kind. Thank you for sharing 💗

[@naomi.olaniyi]

Love!!!!!❤ Stow on the Wold is so pretty, I took my boyfriend there for his birthday last year to the exact cafe and for a cute photo by the Tolkin door. The antique shops there are amazing too, ugh and all the houses... we kept peeping through peoples windows (respectfully).

[@allysonp6871]

Thank you so much Carrie for sharing your trip with us, it's beautiful ❤

[@Turtlelover555]

It's sooo interesting to see how different life experiences impact what we find scary etc. I'm from rural Canada where our country roads are literal gravel, you have to pass large farming equipment on the shoulder in a cloud of dust 😅 whereas freeways cause me so much PANIC the few times I've been in the US!

[@ReyOdinszon]

the fact you got back to your airbnb and so casually called it home. girl i think you were meant for the english country life.

[@lestranged]

OH if Drew loves miniatures and models, you guys have to go to Madurodam in the Netherlands someday. It's miniatures of like every landmark and famous place in the country.

[@cupcakecarolina]

Such a cute area! Love it ❤❤

[@briannawoodsvlogs5638]

Every time you end a video and say by I always say “byeeeee Carrieeeee” like I can’t not say it lol

[@StylewithSofi]

this is like a dream vacation! thanks for sharing your experience, I love watching these vlogs! (also LOVE the plaid skirt)

[@mildreddiaz6435]

You guys are so adorable. Love watching you both. Such a beautiful couple. God bless you both 🙏🥰

[@hanaamiee]

So cute! I love seeing the UK from your perspective. The model village looks like the one from the film Hot Fuzz?

[@abbymyers5072]

The model village from that film is just outside London on the M4 on the way north. Used to pass it driving from Heathrow to Oxford ❤

[@judyneedspockets]

We get an ornament and a magnet everywhere we go - after 26 years we have a TON.

[@maddiaultman4519]

This was so enchanting. Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience with us.

[@fvances]

A lot of the countryside sights remind me of the movie Men lol

[@12345cisumevoli]

Idk if you guys have ever been to Scotland, but I think you would love it. Especially Isle of Skye

[@kellypettersen7490]

We went to the Cotswold this summer and it was so magical and picturesque.

[@brittanysteedman445]

I just started the vlog and omg you could never tell you didn’t sleep! You look sooooo cute! I love the lip colour!

[@puzzlenerd]

How beautiful! I love your cottage. It looks so cozy! I feel like I'm there, so thank you for that😊

[@cherylsmith2345]

Loving your travel vlogs. I get to see the Cotswolds through your (and Drew’s) eyes … so glad you are there together. ♥️

[@suem7172]

So beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!

[@itsdoodleboo]

Umm best vlog ever. High tea, cute cottages, pubs and pints, Lord of the Rings, miniatures!?!? It’s tooo much, my nerdy heart is busting ❤❤❤ I can tell I’m going to rewatch this one often. So happy for you guys🥰

[@KNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

Whats high tea?? I'm English and we don't do that

[@hayleyreed8428]

I want to go to the Cotswolds for my birthday so thank you for the itinerary🩷

[@molllyy31]

Absolutely loved this vlog 🫶🏼

[@deanne7777777]

Oh I just had another memory from that music miniature room. If you haven't watched 'Dog Fight' with River Phoenix it is a must

[@deanne7777777]

Hearing your stock music, I think you might like the Australian artist Dean Lewis. Worth a listen if you haven't heard of him x

[@danaology.]

Does America not have narrow roads where you need to pull over a bit to fit 2 cars? 😅 pretty common in Australia too! Everything in this vlog is giving cozy vibes

[@arianah7730]

Only in the mountains really and even then not too common… and definitely not in the major cities like LA where they live

[@terenlarge]

I'm English but I've been living abroad for almost 9 months now and I miss all the little tiny things I didn't even notice before I left. Every time I see a travel vlog in England it makes me feel just a lil bit closer to home, so thank you! I can't wait to go back and see my home with fresh eyes after so long away. (I likely won't be going back for at least another year though)

[@jennc6349]

You are beautiful.

[@amandaj773]

The most wholesome video 😢❤

[@JennaMcCallister]

My husband and I have loads of matching Vans. It’s disgusting. 🤣💜

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

Heck ! This Spring-tide (2024) should turn up to be a hell of a Spring to be in The Cotswolds, since the whole of England has been saturated by bloody rain since the beginning of the year. Even here in the north of the country I notice that it is already becoming very, very green. I love this stuff - but I`d love it more if I could afford to have a home in those `wolds.

[@Seana01]

What is the song in the background of your video, when you had some B-roll? "Changes"? By whom? Or if a fellow friend of Carrie's could help, because Google didn't. 🙃

[@BeingBriony]

Flying saucers are one of my favourites you have to suck them fir the best experience. If you chew them they are a bit less fun 😂😂😂

[@dianemedeiros8257]

So cute!!! You make me wanna go

[@petahearn]

Been here 😊 need to go again. I have family that live just down the road. You and Drew neeeeed to watch the BBC Two 1992 version of The Borrowers! You’d love it 😊

[@nat_g5513]

Adored watching this Carrie! My boyfriend and I went to the Cotswolds last year… so magical ✨

[@lucysummers1300]

I grew up in the Cotswolds and live just outside there now. It makes me so happy to see you enjoying it here! I’ve always loved this area especially this time of year 😊 x

[@Pavan-rz9uo]

You are truly beautiful! Such a wholesome vlog 🥰🤍

[@ThereAre4Lights]

I cant believe windows don't have screens in them there, is it everywhere???? Madness

[@beaucrawley1191]

Drew really is ted lasso 😂❤

[@KelseyGibson]

Love how encouraging he was when you were driving. Could totally see you two living there, you seem so happy & peaceful and you guys have a wonderful relationship, so sweet to see ❤️

[@anyaleach]

Is that the model village from Hot Fuzz?

[@rileyhanni4161]

Hi Carrie! I hope you see this, where are your cute prescription glasses from When you are driving?

[@TheconfusedIntrovert]

The ivy

[@shannonalysse8731]

PLease please please link your shoes!

[@fatgirlsdiggraves]

Carrie, you would adore the Lake District in the uk. Next trip idea!

[@fatgirlsdiggraves]

P.S most people typically say path (path's) rather than pavement. Pavement is correct but we have lazy words for everything 😂

[@miryamguillen2121]

“The whole time I was like oh I wish I could do this with Drew” 🥹🥹 that melted my heart, thanks for sharing little bits of your relationship with us ❤
