korean host family apartment tour

hello all, long time no see 😅
in this video i show you around my korean host family's apartment. it is not a modern skyscraper apartment. it's an older villa that has lots of character and actually feels a bit more home-like, ya know what i mean?
i found that living with a host family has improved my korean speaking skills A LOT, i don't feel nervous to talk in korean and with the knowledge i know so far, it feels like second nature. I don't have to think about what i'm going to say next, i just say it. it's crazy!
You will also get to taste loads of yummy food, but there will also be foods you will not like, at least you tried them, right?
(btw did you hear blackpink new song ohmygod)
i had a great experience and i'll never forget my host family. I hope in the future i can stay with them again!

This vid isnt as cute, aesthetic, or fun as usual, but since many were asking, here is where I have been living for the past few weeks! If you’re traveling alone to a different country I would definitely recommend you to live with a host family because instead of just visiting a country, you get to experience their culture on a different level in ways the internet just can’t teach you. I enjoyed my time with my host family and if you were considering trying it out, I definitely recommend, even if you're kinda shy! All the links and info are in the description~

[@areyoued6120]

You should do a what’s on my iPhone video! That would be great

[@akira_bean8230]

kali the video was great I loved it!

[@steadywithit7628]

Can u do a k-pop reaction video

[@shanbam001]

How much do you pay

[@kalilowe]

i feel like i sounded out of breath in this entire video hahah idk why tho 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@diya-rc4fr]

boi ive just done an intense cardio workout,,,, you do not sound out of breath 😂

[@sisiqueenqueen9556]

No you did not you sounded beautiful😁😃

[@h4iw33]

omg ME

[@ashuulay]

I’ve stayed with a host family in Japan (not the same as korea but i guess it’s a similar experience) and it was honestly the best experience ever You get to use your language a lot and you get a lot of practice from it!

[@akira_bean8230]

that's cool were you scared ?

[@bleedversace7881]

I want to do this but my mom won’t allow me to

[@ashuulay]

Denay Boyd I was scared at first but first week i got used to it!

[@faithmoss7219]

i’m planning to do this sophomore year ☺️

[@ashuulay]

Faith Moss you won’t regret it!

[@nessa.x0]

I just logged on youtube to find something good to watch and this pops up ~ bless

[@MinYoongi-ur4rc]

Chasing Rainbows Same 😭🙏🏽

[@Celtravels]

I always thought korean bathrooms were weird but now that Im here myself its so convenient!!

[@hlomphochaotsane851]

I thought I was the only one who turns my laptop to the side while laying in bed😭😂

[@Burdettvi]

The Avatar sticker on your laptop omfg i love it

[@kaitlynmarielee8780]

Please make a dailyyy vloggg. I would love to watch those..

[@myra3118]

i second this !!

[@gummygambino2345]

Sadly my mom won’t let me go abroad but after I graduate in two more years I’ll be on my way there 😊hope you are enjoy it there

[@gummygambino2345]

윤혜진 Hyejin Okay haha

[@zaitan1244]

3 more years for me 😓

[@emilysejohnson2385]

And did you? (2 years later?)

[@yourfavefangirl2839]

idk if you have answered this but: were you concerned to go to korea or stay w a host family bc of your outer appearance (you stand out bc of looks)? bc ppl can have prejudices?

[@nicolovespanda]

well her host family has had many other people i guess so why should she

[@DinaDeng.]

Your comment makes me want to hate the idea of going there you clearly have something you want to say

[@citrusciderr]

It shouldn’t be a concern wtf. Why do you think poc think of how we look all the damn time?

[@Faust-_-]

Say *xx* because sometimes it matters and causes problems. Prejudice.

[@nevmar15]

Say *xx* this is stuff _everybody_ needs to worry about. if i, a poc, go to a small town in alabama, usa i need to worry if i’m going to get stoned or burned at the stake because of prejudices. or if a white person goes to a village in japan the residents there might not treat them how they treat japanese people. not all people are fond of having someone “different” roam their home land. not ideal, but that’s just how things are.

[@nessa.x0]

I find Korean bathrooms so interesting because of the shower being in the same exact place where the toilet is so its odd but unique

[@nonchalant7127]

same in turkey

[@nessa.x0]

Rachel F. Im from the US so we dont have that here 😅 but its neat!!

[@kaitlynw2375]

Kali, I’m so proud of you!! I wish I would be confident enough to speak in Korean and even travel to Korea, although that is my plan after high school. I hope you have an amazing time in Korea and wish you the best luck!!! 💜💜

[@zyrellandrei203]

im from the philippines and the shower really looks like it is in the philippines

[@samantha5954]

Notification gang 💜 That house is very cute. I love it.

[@nathalie308]

Cute house!! Looks so nice 😍 actually I’m going to Korea too this year and I’m going to live with a host family. I’m so nervous because I don’t know anyone in Korea and I can have a hard time to get to know new people but I hope it will go well. Your videos really motivate me to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone. Thank you for that 🤩💜

[@kalilowe]

good luck! you're gonna have so much fun~

[@noorabinsaleh7746]

May I ask what program you’re joining and if they take in your to request pair you up with the host family of your choice?? Also do you chose the school or does the exchange program select the school for you?

[@bonbon_1729]

Did you have a good time in Korea, assuming you’re back home now? 😊

[@nathalie308]

@@bonbon_1729 Yeah I really enjoyed it, it was one of the best experiences in my life! I’m going back there next year for university ☺️ it’s a beautiful country worth visiting

[@bonbon_1729]

@@nathalie308 Thank you so much for answering! I’ve been going back and forth for a while, but I’m still unsure. Is it okay if I ask a few questions? For what purposes were you going? Meeting friends/experiencing the culture or learning the language? I’ve heard the language course is pretty slow, but only in the beginning stages. (Feel free not answer the questions if you don’t want to!) :D

[@libbywoods4048]

just woke up and the only reason I got outta bed was to watch this. thx girl for helping me actually get up in the mornin

[@kalilowe]

oooh you're welcome hahah it can really be a struggle in the morning 😂

[@ewitsgyu]

I’m so mad I didn’t get the notification but hey at least I’m watching it right keep it up hun

[@kaylanaomi-sd9dn]

We love when a queen uploads consistently ❤️❤️

[@kalilowe]

oh thank you! i'm glad you didn't notice my last upload was like 10 days ago 😂😬

[@kaylanaomi-sd9dn]

kali sssshh we don’t talk about that🤫😂

I haven't forgotten about the 약삭 of uploading twice a week

I was excited for a new upload💕 Hope your trip is well!

[@TheNeisha456]

Love it 😍 and you can never have too much skin care 💛

The floor heats up I’m jealous! That’s how it was when I went to Anchorage love it

[@Tirhea]

That headboard is adorable. And this video is too relaxing.💗

[@elizabethcordill5998]

That kimchi fridge is the most Korean thing I’ve seen 😂

Same but unfortunately I have to share a room with my little sister 😔

[@adoringjess]

i was literally rewatching your videos last night and wishing you would upload soon bc i felt deprived then i went to sleep and woke back up and BAM here you are!!! 🥺💗 i wish i could wish for a million dollars and it appear overnight like this haha. love you 💕💓💗💞

[@deckcadetmiles]

Hard beds are better for your back/spine. I have a firm bed too (wish it was firmer lol). It's good you like them because soft is not the way to go as comfy as they may seem.

[@SaharTheLegend]

I really thought I was the only one who laid on my side and also put the laptop on its side lmaoo

[@kittiwrld7367]

IM LAUGHING, THIS IS MY EXACT POSITION RIGHT NOW, WHICH I AGREE WITH THE HARD BED THING 3:57

[@seleno19]

And i just realised everything was really nice accept my life........

[@awabia]

How did you go about finding a host family to live with while you’re there? Are you planning on staying for a full year this time around? The house is so cute/cozy. It’s all you’d need! 😌 Edit: I see you answered in the video so I’ll just say I loved the vid! 💕💕

[@uno2382]

Kali I just have to say this. But you've probably heard this a lot I just love your videos💕 I liked before the video even started

I was waiting for your home stay video since you were in America! I opened my KZbin and saw this video and I was like "FINALLYYYYY YAAAAYYY"😂

Hey Kali! I love your videos. I'll be waiting for more but can you make a video of things you packed from your hometown to seoul. Like a video of your suitcase and the things inside it.

Hi Kali, I am planning to visit Seoul next summer.. Can you please recommend me a good homestay family.... Thanks in advance 😊

I'm gonna go to study in Korea but my question is can I stay with host family like a year or something ??

[@lilkg5412]

Hi! I was just wondering what camera you use to film your videos? :)

[@quinoa32]

@kali how much did you have to pay per night of your stay pls? i'm planning to visit SK again after many yrs & still looking for a good and reasonable price to stay :) thanks in advance

[@kaylamjanee12]

is there a limit to living in a korean host family . like can you live there for years ?

queen

[@gr_sha]

Hi just wanna ask how many people are in that house though?

[@tamagoyakichan7560]

Heyy~ im thinking about applying to sogang uni. and i wanted to ask how far away from the university would be ok and possibly also a few like key places orr idk what to call it. Like hongdae or itaewon (pretty sure i spelled them wrong >.

[@maiyajohnson9225]

If anyone in the chat wants to put in a group chat to go to Seoul Korea together like 2023 lmk ❤️

[@l.t.5350]

How did you find your host family?

[@mich4348]

i want to do something similar but my parents won’t let me:( im from mexico btw

[@dinadnggg8203]

can you do vid on gyms near sogang

[@MM-vq3pi]

I have so many questions. I hadn’t even thought about doing this but now I think I’ll have too! I wanted to know how long you stayed for, and what level was your Korean like before you stayed there. Also kinda unrelated but how long have you been studying Korean now? Im currently studying abroad in Seoul right now :) thanks!

[@kalilowe]

i stayed for 1 month my korean was about at an upper beginner level, so basic convo was easy i self studied for about 4 months and then took formal classes at sogang uni for 3 months

[@MM-vq3pi]

kali thanks for the reply! So you had about 7 months of Korean study beforehand? And are you done studying at Sogang or are you still a student there? Sorry for all the questions. I’m just curious because I hope to get to your level soon and it helps to see what your doing to help with your fluency!

[@lifewithheather1454]

may i ask what camera are you using to vlog or so videos ?

[@luisvlogs5560]

4:08 you’re and avatar fan so cool

[@khxxxakalm]

3:50 I thought I was the only one😂

[@payge6487]

kali are you still learning korean in university? i want to do it but i cant afford to do all the stages at once, id probably do each level and then have a few months between each one. how are you doing it? are you doing it all in one go?

[@kalilowe]

i'm doing it the same, taking a level then going back home and then taking another level. Usually around the 4 month mark i really start to miss home haha and i'm not in a rush to finish tbh

[@user-us3jy2mb5r]

How do you like do this host family thing?

[@shaniaturner7571]

I thought I was the only one who watched stuff with the laptop on its side.
