[@scarlett_tt3496]

The most relaxing, light, carefree KZbin channel on earth

[@pendragon2012]

Cari: "I'm feeling my age this summer." Me whose whole body lights up like a dashboard whenever I wake up: Ok, girl....LOL, in all seriousness, I appreciate these videos. I don't get to travel anymore so I love opportunities to see different parts of the world!

[@caricakes]

😂😮‍💨 and happy to take you along with me!!

[@pattiwarren5531]

Climbing a sketchy staircase to get to an awesome cafe is 100% accurate

[@caricakes]

Works every time 😂

[@markd3250]

Walking barefoot is called 'grounding', and you're supposed to walk on actual earth (dirt, grass) instead of concrete or asphalt. It's supposed to help balance your body energy or something like that. Look it up, it's very interesting. BTW, I want you to know I REALLY appreciate the tasteful music you choose for your channel. It's so refreshing to hear music that isn't too loud or annoying. As always, thank you for taking the time to make these!

[@caricakes]

Yes I knew of this but was surprised to see it in Korea since theres such a focus on not bringing the outside into the house /having dirty feet etc! I didnt want to be the weird foreigner walking in mud hahhaha

[@jasminesays]

the number of times i've told myself 'i live here now, i'll just come back another time' is tooooo much, this just inspired me to get out and start doing stuff cuz i'm not gonna live in korea forever

[@caricakes]

exaaaaactly!!!

[@lizorillo-chan4603]

Your cafe hopping made me start my mini coffee shop ♡ thank you for filming such cute cafes there. I still have to earn a little bit more so I can go on vacation in SK. Have a great day & stay healthy and safe! 🌻

[@caricakes]

🥰🙏🥰🙏

[@PR008]

Past lives had me in a chokehold when I watched it. I couldn’t move on from it for days. Its about these two childhood friends in Seoul, who lose touch when the female leads family migrates to America as a teen. When they reunite years later, she realises how some part of her is still stuck in Seoul but she’s helpless and cant do anything about it because she has moved on so further in her life that there’s no turning back. As someone who moved from Asia to north America, her character hit me hard. Living that dual life, loving the life that is now but yearning for that past life is so bittersweet. Easily the most beautiful film this year... and that ending scene ughh

[@lululand1653]

I am also stuck between my asian life and my western life and indeed many bittersweet memories. Celine Song captured so much of that longing and then the performances of Yoo Teo and Greta Lee are breathtaking. For a fun contrast I lenjoyed Teo in Love to Hate You on Netflix.

[@Tulipe9281]

@@lululand1653 absolutely! while Greta lee was brilliant, Teo yoo aced that role. the awkwardness, the desperation, he covered every emotion so brilliantly. that scene when he finally realises he has lost her and needs to let go and the conversation of what if... broke my heart

[@sisselab]

hahaha you can also find me with the elders on the mountain with bare feet after the rain! It’s so good for the skin and pressure points 🙊💚

[@caricakes]

So glad they’re okay with it in Korea because my California soul missed it 🥹🥹🥹

[@ephemeralayesha3046]

Hey Cari! So in my country (Pakistan), people love walking barefoot on grass early in the morning. The thought behind that is that walking on cool morning dew calms and cools your mind and eyes. My mother is a huge fan of doing that and it is like a ritual for us.

[@joyce-in-Outreach]

Hey Cari !!!😮😊 18:07

[@minnie777]

I got to Korea recently and I am in Seoul for the first time 🥹 I have watched your videos long before coming to Korea. As a content creator myself, your videos inspired and motivated me a lot to one day create my own videos in Seoul too. Now that I am here, I AM FINALLY DOING IT! I wish you the best for your content and channel in the future. Keep growing while sharing your life story 💖

[@ginacaruso4256]

Love your channel! When I lived in Korea from 2005-2011, I often saw people (more elderly than young) walking barefoot on the rock paths specifically designed for barefoot walking. They were usually at the base of hiking trails or trails leading up to temples. I tried it sometimes after hiking and felt it was both painful and therapeutic. Watching your vlogs brings back so many beautiful memories of my time in Korea. Sending you much love from northwest Washington state. 🫶🌲

[@caricakes]

My apartment actually has one of those stone paths on the roof garden! Its good for your balance 🥹

[@ExpatNatt]

Perfect way to pass the time at the airport. Great video, Cari! ❤

[@caricakes]

🤍🤍🤍

[@bws117]

the moving kdrama is so good. I began watching it thinking it was going to be a cute silly high school drama and that the main characters happened to have superpowers... and oh boy, it's so much more than that. It made me laugh, cry, get angry and cry. Oh, and yeah, cry. But I swear it's worth watching. The crying was more because of everyone's back story so it's not that things end badly, don't worry. And maybe it's just me but I feel like it will get a second season... I also recommend watching A time called you. It's one of the best dramas I've watched. The storyline, acting, cinematography and just everything about it was amazing.

[@caricakes]

Im going to have to give it another try!!

[@hannahurf8781]

I’m so happy you’re reading the raven cycle! It’s one of those series that I’ll always go back to just cause it holds up so we’ll over time

[@brooke-d]

Re: MOVING... trust the process... it starts slowly and you have to absorb the content, it's not spoon fed or formulaic... I loved it and I believe if you keep watching you will enjoy it too

[@bws117]

It’s a great show and I love the characters and different family dynamics. It’s surprisingly a wholesome show. I was more interested in the parent/children relationships than the superpowers. And omg the whole back story of both the main characters’ parents 😭😭😭 I cried my eyes out. Tho I do think the ending was a bit odd. They spent a lot of time on the school fight and having like 5 episodes that are 40 minutes long felt so unnecessary, and maybe I feel like that bcs waiting for the episodes felt like eternity. I think that they could’ve easily edited everything very neatly to fit into 2-3 episodes instead of 5. But anyways, I hope there’s a second season because I want to see the characters again 😭🤧 I miss them all
