Wow, this one made me feel very emotional. I hate goodbyes. But this bitter sweet moment won’t last as you’re well on your way to your life’s next chapters. I’m Korean, so I see how your life went in the exact opposite direction to mine. I think we’re both where we were meant to be. But that doesn’t mean we don’t still have itchy feet which will lead us to new and exciting adventures ahead.

[@HermioneChantal]

Wow it’s so interesting how we both ended up travelling in opposite directions 💓 we definitely are where we are meant to be 🥰 the itchy feet will never stop, I can see why people get addicted to moving it’s so fun to experience new cultures and stories in different places

[@moda78z]

And I just have to say that the video was beautifully made. A nice ode to the London apartment. Especially the ending. ❤️❤️❤️

[@InshasChoice]

Omg! Glad that you still have the iconic pink fridge 😂😂😂. This definitely is bittersweet, idk why I've been missing your old place since you moved to Korea 😭... Home is where the heart is

[@HermioneChantal]

I will never get rid of the pink fridge 🥹💓 I miss it sometimes too as it had so much character but I’m sure I will find an even better place one day 🥰

[@jacquim8907]

I teared up it felt like a break up especially the fridge. Onwards and upwards in soeul keep doing you and stay true to yourself x

[@tracyalberts2330]

Oh so emotional! I feel like you were saying goodbye to more than a flat in London 😢 hope youre happy 🥰 xx

[@d.d.mac.3773]

It's wonderful to see you enjoying your life on your own terms. Good for you, Hermione!

[@theclarabella7399]

It’s crazy that one day you have all of these dreams and a little time later you are living your dream. Thank you for giving us all hope of living our dream one day 😊

[@lynseypeters]

Ok..that was more emotional than expected. The editing was fab 👌

[@JaPBee]

Somehow, this made me so emotional (probably bc I also once lived in London for about a 1 year). What an exciting journey, great video, Hermione! :)

[@barbaracallwood9220]

Not sure why this made me cry! Guess it’s always bittersweet saying goodbye and as I’ve gotten older there have been so many goodbyes. Lovely video! Your hair looks beautiful, by the way!

[@jackandlill]

Hermione, this was a lovely tribute to your London Flat!! It's so nice to watch you make your dreams come true - whilst you find yourself along the way ❣ You are so very talented & driven & beautiful inside & out!! What's so awesome about the job you do is that it guarantees you have a video diary of so many milestones in your life - which you can revisit them whenever you'd like!! And most of all I appreciate your gypsy soul Be Well My Friend!

[@ReneeRichterthisonesforyou99]

I so enjoyed this. Saying good-bye can be hard but all the new hellos are so worth it. Thanks for doing this vlog.

[@annaburch3200]

I only started watching your vlogs since you moved into your little place in Seoul, but this made me all sentimental, on your behalf. You really edited this one well. It evoked a lot of emotion. (And I love your pink fridge!!) Every chapter of life is important. I'm glad you're enjoying life in Korea. 💗

[@BoudicasQuest]

it's interesting to see through your videos how (and if) we are defined by place. i look forward to the rest of your journey ~

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Oh wow Hermione, this was a wonderful video, and so sad that you are leaving this wonderful apartment that has really changed into something that looks so awesome. I think it is also sad that all of your plants won't be with you, and your family I hope can take good care of them. I have really missed that you are not in London anymore and I haven't seen too many of your videos anymore. I do wish you a wonderful rest of your day, and tell your Nan hi, I miss seeing her as well. Sending love and hugs, bye! 😂😍🤗👋👍💜💜

[@amurphy8278]

Controversial... I love the gnome magnet. LOL

[@emidi4500]

Video full of emotions. Thank you

[@dianebaker5243]

One door closes another door opens, wishing you a healthy happy life. 👍🥰

[@momof2momof2]

We loved the Barbie movie and went as a family. I'll really miss you being in London :( I have such wonderful memories from when I visited there. I love your pink fridge. Pink has always been my favorite color. Enjoy your new adventures.

[@vigerminaberrios4116]

All the places you move into are so beautiful

[@elainemcgran8828]

This was a lovely lovely video 😊. Best of luck with everything

[@Poppy-]

You are making me cry. I wanted to take proper time to watch this, and not in a rush. I started following when you studied in the US and you were doing Dollar Tree DIYs. Saw you grow into adulthood. Buying, completely renovating and eventually selling the house. Renovated this flat and moving abroad... I am so happy for you, but feel sad too 😢

[@moda78z]

The apartment have been in your KZbin journey for so many years! We’ve seen some DIY’s and decorating videos from there. ❤️ Off to new adventures!

[@theduchessofmearns]

Do you still have the house on IoW ?

[@cloudwonders]

You worked wonders on that flat and on yourself while you were there. Both of you are better because of the time you spent there. And I have to say I much prefer the you we've been seeing since you moved to Korea, I'm looking forward to see what you'll do next :-). And on a side note: I just booked a holiday to Seoul! I've never been before and I know virtually nothing about South Korea, but I have time for research and I also kind of love not having a 'to see' list because who needs that kind of pressure on holiday haha. That being said, if anyone has any tips, would be glad to hear! (I'll be there in november for a month, so probably also time to see other parts of the country as well)

[@AvichalSharma2]

Great day to start new weekend with Hermione. 🎉

[@lauraaguilerarios5359]

Loveeeeed this vlog. So emotional

[@elerinewman1447]

What a great way to end the work week with a Hermione vlog! 🎉

[@HermioneChantal]

🥰🥰🫶

[@GardensOfChina]

It's weird I had a baby about the time you moved out of the island and now I also left UK to move permanently into another country. I was not following as much when you were in London but I followed avidly when the Korean videos came in. This London parenthese really felt like it barely happened from my viewer perspective but it really looks like it was a reset time for you! You can really tell how much you grew as a person. But I love the before and the after vlogs & your content in general. Keep being you

[@cool3041]

I could never ever leave Europe 🙋🏼‍♀️ Kisses from France 😘

[@shirleydunn8050]

I actually really love the grey subway tiles! Still think your Smeg fridge is the best thrifted item EVER! My sister has just had a new kitchen fitted & had to say Goodbye to her red fridge. British Heart Foundation collected it from her & were really delighted & said it wouldn’t stay long in their charity shop .

[@filamijoybillones6074]

I don't know why u feel sad for you 😔 but at the same time happy for your found joy and contentment living in SK. God bless you always Hermione and enjoy every moment of your time wherever you are.

[@HermioneChantal]

Awww no need to feel sad 🥰💓 I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and I get to have the best of both worlds living abroad and still visiting home! 💓 thank you 🥹

[@susanvelez6534]

I thought the Barbie movie was so great I lived it and I’m 61 / I cried knowing your leaving. I have never been to London still on my bucket list. I wish you all the best in your new season of life. I have followed you for so long.

[@KIRAN143K]

Happy journey❤❤❤

[@penelopecooras5062]

Good luck Hermione! Love watching your updates. Super random question - your lipstick colour / gloss is gorgeous!! Where is it from?

[@niajohns746]

I know it’s very off topic but I remember you mentioning in your past videos that you’re from the Isle of Wight. I went to Bournemouth for a few days last week and spent two days on the Isle of Wight 😊 I hadn’t been there for over 20 years (I’m 31 now… haha). Such lovely places to visit! 😊 Which places were near to you? Xx

[@Liza03V]

Just cherish every minute of your new life in South Korea. You seem happier there. London and family will always be there for you. Make new memories, with new friends. ❤❤❤

[@anitat8094]

Next time just use Viakal for the limescale. You spray it on, leave for 10 minutes, and wipe it off. No scrubbing needed, it doesn't smell and it removes 100% of the limescale, leaving everything nice and shiny.

[@kristenevans4557]

I think Nan needs a Christmas holiday in SK.

[@shuchitasharan]

All the very best my love! I hope you plan to move to India for a bit or even visit. Would love to show you around, you’re so kind ❤

[@amandajones7554]

I miss the island house.

[@Junes.dreams.uk_]

To a new chapter :) ! What’s happening with your house? Are you still renting out or do you plan on selling? You worked so hard on this house.

[@cherisparkle]

I was wondering that too.

[@thistlefooderie]

Good luck on your new adventure. What sort of work do you do in Korea?

[@pascalelewis]

where is that bread box in the kitchen from? eeep! 👀 i think it's a bread box, right...? pink with a wood lid - very cute!

[@keys6]

You can use Vikal to clear away all the limescale... spray it on...leave for 5 mins...rinse off... new shiny stainless steel😊

[@janetmoore1124]

Life is a series of steps. Sometimes forward, sometimes backwards, a few side steps thrown in for good measure. In order to get to where you want to be you must be willing to take a few steps and sometimes that means saying a few goodbyes. I admit it is a bit of a shame to have to leave the fridge in the UK but . . Last we heard the house was being rented. Is that still the case?

[@hunniieable]

Does anyone know the name of the small plant in the living room next to the book shelves? I have seen this plant is hermoines videos before and have always loved it!!

[@tanyahermann3431]

Love that flat, great size and cute. Did it get sold, or did you say someone in your family will just be living there full-time now?

[@dallasmales5520]

The family owner that owns it is renting it to a stranger I believe

[@obiwann785]

It was a little emosh at the end!

[@aliblue3605]

Did you sell your house you renovated or is it still leased?

[@irosenunez]

💗💗💗

[@Sally-nse2]

Hermione, I was wondering , did you sell the IOW house? I loved the way that you did that house.

[@ajh0198]

What are those countries you would “settle” in after Seoul? I know it’s so hypothetical right now!

[@claudial1614]

❤️

[@user-kz7zf1ic2c]

what happened to the house? still rented? did you sell it? where will your stuff go?

[@arigato22]

What are you going to do with all the stuff in the flat? I noticed that in South Korea, you had bought plenty of things. I guess it was an indication that you were going to stay. I once lived in Japan for two years but I honestly never wanted it to be my home. I always wanted to return to Australia because it's where my family is. Now I picked up diving and Australia is abundant with opportunities to dive so I have no interest in going overseas again. Plus it's expensive... I guess I've been through the phase of living abroad twice in two different countries and don't want to anymore. I can see the excitement though so I wish you luck and enjoyment. And I know you will inspire others to go to Korea to try it out.

[@vickinoeske1154]

That's good that you don't feel sad about leaving the London apartment. Perhaps because it was a family apartment, not just yours?

[@kwong06]

Why did I think the pack of wipes on the counter was you grabbing a piece of cheese to snack on?

[@Yogeshvlog1437]

Hi how are you you're looking beautiful and sweet Hey guys, you sat down, you smiled to yourself, guys, don't come here, go there to travel around the world.

[@joaquincervantes8396]

what's your favorite movie is it harry potter

[@chasing_stardust]

Whatever happened to your house on the island?

[@rosarythug]

when she initially moved put she said she was renting it out

[@chasing_stardust]

@@rosarythug thank you !

[@Kathryn_60]

Sometimes I worry for you. I think you have a lovely life and a wonderful sense of style. I am so glad you have your family, but I know that losing a safe space is always hard. I hope you enjoy being back in Korea and remember how brave you are! Much love to you!!

[@AlexanderAMY]

Hi hope ok to say but i get Finland around you psychic message to you and see the year 2027 ❤ good luck with the new adventure xx

[@janiebea100]

I missed the whole thing about why you moved to Korea in the first place.

[@Yogeshvlog1437]

Hi my dear friend how are you you're looking beautiful and sweet

[@Gumby703]

You should befriend Freya and Molly
