Hi guys! A few weeks ago on a very rainy day, I took the bus down to Jeonju to explore the city - visiting some old favorites and some new sites! Jeonju is a great place to someone looking to travel outside of Seoul for the first time because there is so much to do in one concentrated area and there's a little something for everyone :) I will sing my praises for Jeonju forever lol Sending you love always and see you tomorrow for our next adventure in Korea!

[@carissawong2451]

At this point, I've given up on wishing for travel. I'm just dreaming of days where I'm allowed to sit down and eat in restaurants and cafes again. Living vicariously through these vlogs! 🤓

[@caricakes]

yessss the little things!!

[@小肉肉-f4u]

@@caricakes I ❤ 泡菜. 😘

[@didemgunes6233]

I actually love how she films, and all the content she puts out there. Just feels so relaxing and calm. Actually love it and appreciate it so much.🤍

[@caricakes]

thank you so much!!

[@irene_amelia]

Every time cari is in a cafe it’s SO RELAXING☺️

[@koalathekyle]

Definitely always well shot cafe excursions! She always apologizes for visiting too many cafes in one vlog. Not a thing as too many cafes.

[@caricakes]

🥰🙏

[@shashafromkorea]

Def she is !!! 💚

[@nora-yw4rd]

can’t wait to travel to Korea one day, totally visiting places you recommended 🌝

[@caricakes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@rixanoz]

That museum is totally my thing 🥰 I would love to spend an entire day there

[@caricakes]

It was so fun 😭

[@Sthemingway]

That museum looks really cool. Once you resume a more "regular" travel/vlog itinerary, you should pitch various museums with uniquely curated exhibits to make digital content. I like your combination of first-person and third-person POVs.

[@caricakes]

yessss i cant wait!! and thank you always :')

[@LosZetasUno]

You're so in your element when you do travel vlogs! I can't wait to see where you go in the future. My guess is mung bean, but I have no idea. There's always one or two pieces of banchan that mystify me!

[@caricakes]

I know the feeling 😂 it’s actually made from acorn 🐿

[@callmewaves1160]

Aww look at all the cute couples dressed in matching traditional Hanbok! Gorgeous video as usual Cari! Trying not to die of envy over that lunch omg

[@caricakes]

🥰🙏

[@will2Collett]

I'm glad you ran into that white and black puppy walking down those stairs.Nothinhg to do with anything, but I knnew a Lady - she was a Korean nursepharmicist from Seoul and she was a beautifully charming woman. Moung Ja returned to Seoul a long time ago. Thanks for this tour. Reminiscent for me. I know the rain doesn't add much personality, but it really made tha mood for me, thanks again Ms Cari.

[@anyaguinzbourg8609]

Wow, I could spend all day at that museum! Jeonju is so beautiful, I’d love to visit 🥺✨

[@caricakes]

i really hope you can soon!! 💗

[@____wicked.witch.of.the.words_]

I’m re-watching the older videos, Korea vlogs, mostly the ones in autumn, and I’m having the time of my life ❤😊

[@koalathekyle]

Cari your vlogs have been a dose of happiness since I left Korea for the states. Thanks as always for the great content! Jeju vlog coming anytime soon?

[@caricakes]

thank you!! jeju vlog coming tomorrow!!

[@koalathekyle]

​@@caricakes very exciting news! So many places you've been to have been added to my 'to be visited/re-visited' list. I miss living in Jeju even more than when I lived in Seoul. Wish you a ton of growth and success going forward!

[@kalyanimenon460]

"don't think I forgot about the choco pie" 😂😂😂 I laughed out loud ! 😂

[@joanahenriques8863]

Stating the obvious, but it was even more magical and beautiful in the rain 🤩 so cozy! I have been loving all the sun but suddenly I'm hoping for the rain too

[@caricakes]

Agreed 😍☔️

[@lasandii1023]

One of my favorite videos of yours, the rain made it 1000x better

[@marlification]

I always watch Cari's videos in full-screen mode because the imagery and the colours are so beautiful. That tea house! 💚

[@caricakes]

Omg thank you! And yes that tea house is my fav 🥺

[@NataliaGarza]

“we’ll see how that works out for me” 😂😂 hopefully your tummy was fine~

[@caricakes]

bahahah i was thankfully :')

[@kryi1730]

Cari씨 덕분에 한국의 이곳저곳 구경 잘하고 있어요 15년전하곤 많이 달라졌네요

[@mysza2000]

seeing all the couples under umbrellas made me go: 🥺💞🥺 the vlog was so calm and nice!! it looks like such a nice place to visit

[@renee1167]

Solo visits to museums are right up my alley. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@caricakes]

Thanks for coming 🥰

[@gummybearlesbianmafia]

It's so beautiful there and the rain just made it more so. I love that they set up a space in the market for all the cats that live in there, that warmed my heart so much.

[@caricakes]

same :') it was so sweet!!

[@coucouvalery4636]

AGHHH i recently discovered you, REALLY u brought me back to life again 😭❤️

[@caricakes]

thank you so much :''')

[@kikiflamingo2409]

Wow I haven’t watched in so long. Feel some normalcy finally doing so. Life has been so odd and hectic lately, but this feels lovely and familiar 💗

[@caricakes]

🥰🙏

[@Hnieh]

Can't help but say it again, Thank you so much Cari for being so down to earth with your vlogs; the music you choose, the places you go. My weekly dose of calm and happiness (twice)! Looking forward to tomorrow's!

[@caricakes]

thank you always!!!

[@raph.cherry]

The sound of rain hitting the umbrella 👌🏻

[@caricakes]

right!? :')

[@DeaBeanTattoos]

I love living vicariously through your videos! Hopefully one day when safe to do so I’d love to visit South Korea! Until then I will enjoy all the sights, food, and everything through your videos! 💖

[@myarchive9964]

I loved this video so much Cari. I love those traditional architecture and rain just seems perfect. Somehow i ended up imagining meditating in that royal summer place you brought us!!

[@caricakes]

thank you so much ahhh!!

[@bianca5220]

[@caricakes]

hope you're doing well tooooo!

[@annawilhelm9697]

Just beautiful. 👌 And the video is so well captured and made. I love the parts, where you just hear the rain and quiet background music.

[@caricakes]

Thank you! I loved that too 🥺

[@RiriIsvan]

The museum looks wonderful 🤩 I'm glad you had a great time there, Cari ❤️

[@caricakes]

thanks for coming along :)

[@shivaniamin7001]

[@new2melbtango]

Thanks so much for this video. My wife and I are planning on taking our friends on a day trip to Jeonju mid-May. Can't wait to explore a bit more of Korea again. We'll also be going to Pohang for a day, then 2 nights in Daegu. Looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks again.

[@TravelEndleslie]

What a nice place to learn more about Korea in the early age

[@casadechris923]

I first moved to ROK and i was asked to live in Jeonju way back in 1995. It was a sleepy town, very traditional and the food is the best. The official culinary capital of ROK is Jeonju and more specifically the entire Cholla Province. Near the gate area is a Roman Catholic church that is so peaceful to visit. I remember the entire life was centered around the main road. There was only Core department store and then another one in the middle of city center. Night life was busiest around Chonbuk university and used to be the only area that non Koreans hung out. ESL teachers and US soldiers who used to live at the near Gunsan (Dont know if the US still have a based there) base who wanted to meet Korean girls came into Jeonju for the "city feel". I close Kiwi mate who for over a decade worked in the Korean Film industry used to go every May to the Jeonju Film Festival. Coincidentally I would visit Seoul around the same time but i never went with him cause he was going for work and now i regret it. Enjoy the city. BTW not only is Jeonju famous for the food but also for their rice paper and Korean opera (Pansori). I was fortunate to be in a relationship with someone from Cholla for 7 years and i really got to enjoy the month care packages of sidedishes made by mom-in-law.

[@caricakes]

I really would love to see a pansori performance one day 🙏🙏🙏

[@RosiePetals0]

I just cannot wait to visit South Korea for the first time in 2023 to celebrate my birthday and graduation! Can't wait! Cari, I just love your videos. Giving me so many places to go Idk how I'm gonna visit everywhere

[@PR008]

MY MIND IS BLOWN! You’re so freaking talented Cari! I’ve been following you for quite sometime now and every time I think it can’t get better you put out such amazing content . I’m sure Korea is stunning but you just make the simplest things look ten times more captivating. My heart is always so full watching your vlogs 💞

[@caricakes]

thank you so much ahhhhhhhhh

[@liberty5560]

Our group stayed at Hanok Village. they gave us a cooking class for bi bim bap, cultural tour, makkoli drinking contest ( where the media was there to film the Funny Foreigners an action. and kimchee making. Nice to view this as we never had a chance to explore by ourselves.

[@starshocker]

Jeonju looks like a really cool city to visit :) and I loved to see some part of it thru uour vlog.

my wishtrend package arrived some days ago and I just wanted to come here and say how much I've already been loving the stuff from your box deal. Skincare has always been a tricky thing for me because my skin is very complicated and does not react well to most things. I've been using everything except for the mask so far and it's been great, I literally feel like my skin is breathing for the first time in a long time so really, thank you for introducing me to such a nice brand and these great products!

[@caricakes]

Omg that makes me so happy!!! The green tea cleanser is truly a lifesaver ✨✨✨

That type of imperial architecture at the shrine always makes me think of movies set in that time, its so cinematic ! Also interesting to have a museum that covers things that you remember; having lived it makes it a bit more personal. I see you appreciated the cave section lol

[@caricakes]

the cave section took years off my life hahaha

[@davidherd1855]

Hi Cari, I had to watch this one at my breakfast time, but what a nice way to start the day. Just when I think you will run out of new places to take us, you give us this lovely trip out. I have to laugh at the thought of those folk who must spend all day washing dishes, I mean, how large a table would one have to have to cater for more than one hungry Cari. Where on earth do you put all that food ? Do you starve yourself in-between vlogs. Thank you for this. You take care 😄XX

[@caricakes]

I always wonder how they dont run out of dishes when the restaurant is busy 😂

[@davidherd1855]

Jeonju looks so nice, even in the rain (I love rain...and thunder, so, yeah) And is that acorn jelly? Not a fan xD But I've only tried it once - in Paju. Those soups looks really delicious, though! I got so invested in the video that I got distracted by myself, pretending to be there and order food for myself (and friends/family). This video is a whole mood! A relaxing one :D

The last two times I’ve visited Jeonju have been rainy and i love it 🥺 and yeah acorn jelly is really hit or miss for me hahaha
