i love how you return to the same tree in different seasons and have coffee with it or just walk around it 🌳 not a very lonely tree if it has such a lovely friend!

[@caricakes]

exactly!! one of the most loved trees in the city i think!

[@Keirabug]

this is my favorite comment

[@faithmcleod6822]

It was so wholesome when you were so happy about the snow (,: you really know how to enjoy the little things in life it’s so precious and a good reminder in each of your videos

[@caricakes]

everyone at the park was exactly the same hahah i was surprised so many people went out but people of all ages were having a blast in the snow hehehe

[@cattmono]

For someone who never saw snow this video left me really emotional because it looks so beautiful! It's so beautiful and I'm so glad Nature gave us such a beautiful gift. (I know it gets dangerous sometimes) Thank you so much, as always, for the video! It gives me such good vibes which I need most of the times.

[@caricakes]

snow is still pretty new to me too and it never gets less beautiful! i hope you get to experience some really fluffy snow someday^^

[@heatherbishop557]

I’m so glad this vlog is a long one. You always know how to make everywhere around you look so beautiful 🥺💕

[@caricakes]

It was a beautiful week!

[@nakamurabrian2144]

Long time no comments. I've been quite busy working for a long time. I just comment to say hello to you and taking good care of yourself in Korea. Here in Japan, lots of people including me are worrying a lot about corona virus because we believe government seems like hiding something largely because of coming Summer Olympic game in Tokyo. I'm very glad to hear that Korean government are testing , reporting people and sharing accurate info transparently. Anyway, Cari, take good care of yourself and love from Japan !!!

[@andreeacalian7118]

I'm always in awe when I watch your vlogs because the quality of the image is just stunning and the shots with the snow are breathtaking ! Also, you made me want to get out on my own more and more. I've always struggled with simply walking around town unaccompanied! First time I did that, I was pleasantly surprised !

[@caricakes]

that makes me so happy! we all need to just take baby steps but it gets easier to explore by yourself the more that you try^^

[@_bmee]

lovely vlogs!! oh, i've cancelled my flight to Seoul for June trip. this vlog kinda cure my sadness for the cancelled trip.hope the outbreak over soon, so that i can start my plan again to Korea

[@adriennehilll]

this vlog was everything i needed this morning and wow so glad you guys got some snow!!! that beach view was amazing 🥺

[@caricakes]

gangneung is always the best :')

[@mundanethings208]

I miss Seoul so much 😭 stayed there for a semester as I was an exchange student and watching your videos made me miss my time there so much. I was so sad to hear abt the outbreak and have been texting my prof and friends how they are and hope they are doing okay. Ps: i was hoping to catch snow like this when i extended my stay til early January (‘:

[@emilypeterson4886]

I love when you put a bandana in your hair! It looks so adorable on you and you've inspired me to do the same. I love how it looks but I am struggling to keep it on my head, it always wants to slip off. Do you have any tips to keep it secure? I've tried using bobby pins but I feel like they are too noticable. Also, super excited about your possible collab! I've always wanted to support that brand but haven't wanted to spend the money on it yet, I will be more tempted soon I think!

[@caricakes]

hmmm for me i just tie it really tight and it stays!! i also have my hair down when i use them to keep it in place cause if i have my hair up it slips! and ahhhh i cant wait to share what im working on with them!!

[@thefourcorners6306]

I was shock when you say JUSUF 💛 i'm really happy when a youtuber supports another youtuber 😊 you're so very thoughtful. Idk what is in your videos but it feels like im watching anime, very calming, feels nostalgic, a lot of shots (great effort there!), simple but elegant...it's just you... i'm in love how you put it all together. Thank you as always 💛

[@caricakes]

haahah thank you so much! and yesss i recently discovered them and loove their vids so much :)

[@christy-anne-jones]

The snow is so beautiful, I could cry. You have such a talent for capturing the beauty of things, Cari. I loved every part of this 💛

[@kaylarssage]

I love how this vlog went from winter to spring. False spring season is upon us 😂 This video made me feel refreshed 💕 Stay safe!

[@caricakes]

it was a wild week of weather thats for sure!!

[@halimalove8556]

I never see semone that can make me sitt through 28 minutes whitout skipping any part . I really appreciate the effort that you put in your videos. Love from kuwait 😍😘beautiful video

[@caricakes]

hahahah thank you so much!

[@user-me6wf4no9q]

The video is so beautiful. I live in Korea, but the video shot from your point of view is new to me. Thank you for appreciating my heart with the calm and calm video :) 😀

[@shahera5745]

that little moment of you talking about how beautiful the snow and the scene at the lonely tree was, is so wholesome in my opinion that it made me genuinely smile :,)

[@gweenbee3300]

One of your most wholesome vlogs! Love this one vlog showed the transition from snowy winter to pre-spring (?) A beautiful vlog to start a month. Thank you for sharing this, Cari! Stay safe and healthy ✨

[@Larabelin12]

Thank you for sharing the snow. It seemed like a dream and i wish we (Texans) could experience that kind of snow day here..... :)

[@telur_dadar]

the snow shot is beautiful

[@malonprischer3121]

I don't know but you seem very comfortable and confident again. Very high quality and just so soothing to watch. Highly appreciate you

[@cristinatownsend5172]

The beautiful snow scenery made cry! A happy cry😌 It was so overwhelmingly beautiful✨ I love that you guys went on a adventure, so cute!🥰 Love love love your video (as always)🔥

[@caricakes]

thank you thank you always! the snow had me crying too hehe

[@JS-fi7yo]

I have taken your advice seriously about pinning places that I'd like or I might visit in the future in google maps and guess what haha all the locations I currently have are all from your vlogs! So beautiful, you're an inspiration. Thank you!

[@joanahenriques8863]

Inspiring as always, thank you for this sweet little gift! 😊

[@theartyone4633]

Thank you for this video! I really like the juxtaposition of the heavy, beautiful snow fall in the beginning and the bright, chill beach towards the end (even if it's a bit chilly). I'm supposed to go to the Oceanside beach this weekend...it'll be about 61, so not as chilly haha. You always go to such nice cafes that I would love to visit on my trip there! I hope you and Kurt (and everyone) stays safe and healthy!

[@nellekehendriksen7792]

I love these video's so much! It just makes me so happy and relaxed to see the things you film of everyday stuff and especially the nature parts. Thanks for making them ❤️

[@xAnicsi]

You are really lovely, your excitement towards the littlest things is contagious! Your reaction at the snow was so adorable, I wish I could see your face if you ever go to the alps or other mountain region covered in lush snow. :) I grew up with snowy winters, sledding and snowball fights, but whenever I am in the beautiful mountains sparkling with white snow, I still get amazed. Actually, I am moving to Seoul for a couple of months but I couldn't really feel excited because there's still so much to take care of back home and I am worried because of various things. But watching your vlog totally cheered me up and I am now so hyped for my trip. I'd love to meet you, too! Thank you for your lovely videos, they're my nr. 1 viewing pleasure for South Korea on youtube and all make it into my 'things to do in SK' playlist :)

[@allanina]

Wow, this must be my favorite vlog that you ever made! Everything is so pretty, and the music fits perfectly omg. You're so talented Cari!! Thank you for sharing your life with us and please, stay safe!

[@kalyanimenon460]

i just love how u get soo happyyyyy by these small moments, it makes me wanna appreciate the little things in life , and guess what!? i have started doing exactly that, and life has just turned out to be a lot more magical

[@bemymeraki6698]

The way you have explored and showed Seoul, I don't think any one else can. Of course, there are so many other ways to show face of this city but the vibes of your videos are just so pure and connecting that I think if I would ever experience this place one day, I would like it the very same way. Thanks dear cari cakes. You deserve muchhh more. Lots of love from opposite corner of this world.

[@hediyoongi6028]

You looked genuinely happy to see snow and honestly same! And snow in that wide vast area made it even more magical 💖

[@AleMcr17]

I'm laying in bed with some very ugly cramps but watching this video made me concentrate on something else besides the pain so thank you for that 💙 you seriously make the most beautiful videos Cari xo

[@matildesculli8936]

So so so relaxing, seeing the lonely tree in the snow with classical background music made me emotional!

[@mariemadlenek]

I used to watch jamie olliver so much when i was a kid ahh good times!

[@2hearts1seoul]

This vlog is so pretty! 😍

[@caricakes]

i cant believe we had to wait for february to get some proper snow here hahahhaa

[@pagedotcom]

when you were filming in the snow i almost teared up from how beautiful it was! your videos always help me to feel so grounded and excited about the good in the world! take care 💓

[@caricakes]

same hahaha i definitely had tears in my eyes :')

[@annawilhelm9697]

The present for your grandmother looks really cute! What a nice round vlog full of life. ❤

[@Setetoto]

Its midnight in the Netherlands but its always a good time to watch your videos! Thanks for uploading.

[@caricakes]

wahhh thank you so much!!

[@patrinayoung5813]

I’m in awe because I’m originally from New York but my family moved to the part of Florida that doesn’t snow so I haven’t seen snow in three years and then I came to London this year and it hasn’t snowed at all. So seeing this video makes me so happy because I love snow so much. I can’t wait to experience this when I go to Korea in May and I will be living there for a few years and I’m so happy. Thank you for sharing this video! 🥰

[@aakanshathinks]

This was such a beautiful vlog. I miss snow we’ve not had much in Glasgow 🥺

[@cathymj15]

I’ve been to seoul twice during winter and yet i never experience snow😭😭 Im currently doing my thesis so travelling has to be put on hold. Im satisfying my wanderlust through your videos!!

[@marinapond]

Is my 4th(?) time watching this video and I can confirm that is one of my favorite videos of all times, seriously, is beautiful and so peaceful, I love it ❤ Thank you for the HQ content ^.^ PS: can't wait for today's video :)

[@abbieloke7081]

I really enjoy the intro of your week! :D

[@jooniescrab9928]

The park looked so beautiful with all the snow! I’m kinda jealous because we haven’t seen one snowflake in northern Germany this winter. This hasn’t happened since I was born 36 years ago.

[@acsevina]

the vlog of my dreams! simple yet so enjoyable and long which I love! those snowflakes were so big, snow makes me so happy as well, sadly it only snowed once in Hungary this winter. I'm hoping in a new Ana Luisa collab 😍

[@bananaj1312]

I cry every time I watch your videos because I had to put off my trip to Korea, but at the same time everything you film is so beautiful so sadness and joy together, bye. Love from Italy.

[@caricakes]

hope you can plan a trip here soon!!

[@bananaj1312]

[@batypauline9948]

love your music choice and your eye for detail in your filming! your videos truly have that cosy, cup of tea on a rainy (snowy) day type of feeling :')

[@Sandra-in9cz]

Such a wholesome and lovely vlog! My mornings can get overwhelming sometimes, so I always look forward to your videos to help me relax. Also, loving Ana Luisa! I actually just ordered my second pair of earrings and can't wait to try them on!

[@rebeccadelacruz2746]

I so love this video, missing winter season so much

[@hillie1714]

I was saving this vlog for a perfect moment and now I finally decided to watch it! I just visited an art museum and had a lovely lunch, and this vlog is a perfect length for me to watch while I chill out for a bit before work. Thank you like always and stay healthy! Lots of love from Finland 💌

[@liula540]

I had fun watching this vlog! Mahalo for the laughs!

[@rachelstone4514]

the vlog was beautiful cari :)

[@woodlandfrog]

What a gorgeous video. You always make me feel so sentimental and nostalgic for places I’ve never been and experiences I haven’t had. It’s like rewatching a beautiful movie from childhood - enjoy the snow!

[@gracetang335]

I never knew that Korea is such a fascinating and artsy country ( thanks for showing us how beautiful Korea is !)

[@gindokki]

28 minutes of wholesome Cari goodness?? Best way to start the month! Also, what an incredibly lovely week - you looked so happy and that was so great to see!! The spontaneous Gangneung trip looked like an absolute dream. Loved the cooking segment too - would definitely love more of those 😆 Stay healthy and safe Cari! Thanks always for a wonderful vlog 💙

[@morillonvm]

I adore your vlogs! It calms my own wanderlust to see you exploring everywhere, but also I end up adding so many places to my list of places to visit for my hopefully-one-day-in-the-future visit to Korea. :)

[@caricakes]

hehehe hope your future trip is amazing^^

[@lia_xxjul1800]

Watching your videos is relaxing :) and they make me so excited to finally return to Korea this year.

[@brendakapp8537]

i havent had time to watch the videos when they were released and i missed them sooo much. It feels so good to be back! Thanks, Cari, for making my heart feel warm and taking me with you to experience things i'm not able to rn. I wish you a life full of happiness, take care!

[@beautyeditorandmua]

[@bangbodena8885]

[@kittyvu5045]

Thank you for sharing such a cute week with us! ♥️ I wanna go back to Korea so badly! I live in Stockholm and it hasn’t really snowed at all this winter until this week so even though snow has melted already I also run out to briefly enjoy that peace and quiet magic moment that it brings ❄️♥️❄️♥️❄️

[@client1024]

I find it so endearing when you were on that lonely tree~ it was so candid and you were just genuinely happy~ ❤ Edit: ginger hair Cari wearing orange cardi, chopping some carrots, why is it funny to me 😆 don't get me wrong coz it was just so cute

[@marywarters3038]

You look so happy! What an amazing adventure. I would love to go shopping there.

[@caricakes]

its really a great place to live :) but california is hard to beat!

Here I am for my stress relief, should be at writing my thesis but as soon as I saw your new video is up I had to come and watch it. This is the kind of break I needed~ Your videos are always very calming and fun to watch :)

Olympic 공원 looks soo pretty in the snow ... Wow, starting the week under thick snow flakes and ending it at the beach is kind of surreal :) I love it! Can't wait to be back... Also taking note of that 시장 in DDM... it will come in handy. Thanks for sharing Cari. Stay safe :)

[@dgnas]

wow! you make the mundane so beautiful! watching your videos has definitely made me notice and appreciate the beauty where i live so much more. the gently falling snow is soo romantic and quiet. love the vlogs!

[@dgnas]

My dreams of going to visit The Lonely Tree was shattered because of the virus. All our flights were cancelled. I added it to my itinerary because of you. Maybe next year! I hope the virus is gone soon. I really really enjoyed this vlog. Thanks, Cari!

[@yooskz]

I just wanna say that I love your vlogs/ videos so so so much and the way you film and see things!! You really have an eye for filming and details and editing it's always so nice to watch ❤ Also I love how you show places outside of seoul as well really makes me want to visit those places too they looks so nice! And you encouraged me to start little adventures in my own city as well and I'm trying to explore it and look at it from a different point of view! So yeah...just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me and I'm sure many others as well in different ways ❤ That's all haha..Take care ❤

[@caricakes]

thank you so much!! glad you're heading out on adventures more often too :)

[@roarmaus]

Such a perfect snow day..grey yet bright and chubby blowing flakes☺️❄️💨

[@012Luci]

So happy u got to experience a snowy day! Back in Sweden we get many of those days but they are always so magical, and I would always stop during my walk with my dog and just admire the quietness that comes with heavy snow, it's really magical?? Also thank u for giving me a new spot to visit next time in Korea!!
