Sorry this wasn't the most lighthearted and fun Q&A haha but im really interested in your thoughts on these Qs too! As always, THANK YOU!! Original marriage announcement vid - ua-cam.com/video/TmhaODcBCR8/v-deo.html Ghost stories vid - ua-cam.com/video/COvTg9gTj-4/v-deo.html
I loved what you had to say Cari! Especially on religion and having children of your own. I am in my early 30s and constantly feel the pressure, even when I'm firm on not wanting to have children. While unnecessary comments from friends and strangers can be super annoying, I was very surprised at the fact that I myself was pressuring myself too. It was easy for me to say I didnt want children when I was 25. It's a whole other thing in your 30s though where that decision is almost final (biology etc) you get feelings of fomo etc. Lol. I am only saying all this because I 1.love to hear from women who also choose not to have children and are living full and happy lives and 2. Because I want to give you a heads up of the questioning and doubts that may arise later. That is also normal. Also random: but if you're ever in Germany and need a tour guide, hit me up sis 😊💜
cari cakes You must take pictures! Even if it’s just for yourselves, family and friends. I bought my wedding dress from a thrift store (fit me like a glove), it was meant to be, but trust me, after two kids and going on 24yrs of marriage, I’m grateful I have those photos 🙌😁#mommalookedgood
To be honest, that’s sounds like my ideal wedding I always say let’s exchange rings, go to a fancy restaurant and call it a day lol glad I’m not the only one now.
Certainly u are not. Same here....give me anxious to thinking to invite amounts of people(some probably I don't know very well) and get all the attention in a church or another place, in a highly emotional moment. Nahh
The societal pressure to 'WANT' kids is so exhausting. My coworker and I were talking about not wanting kids and other lady was like "whaaaat? You have to try it at least once!" What does she meant TRY it??? Can I give it back if I don't like my free trial?
lmao! "Can I give it back if I don't like my free trial?" xD Is it a "free" trail though? xP You know, that reminds me of cat owners who don't want to spay their cats, because they think their animal "needs to experience it once". *rolling eyes*
In America you can anonymously leave a newborn at a fire station, but I think it’s only if the kid is a newborn. I think you also have to leave a birth certificate? But they didn’t really go over that in sex Ed
I think it’s hard for some people to understand that not everyone wants to have their own children. I’m 30 and perfectly content with my solitary lifestyle, and running into high school acquaintances becomes painful when they have children and ask if I’m married or seeing anyone and the “well you’ve still got time to have kids!” comments start coming out. I don’t want children of my own and I think as a society we need to get out of the habit of asking women these questions or assuming that it’s the right fit for everyone.
cari cakes exactly! I read an article a few months back that said we are already beyond the point of no return for climate change reversal, we can only slow down the severity of the warming. Our government is trying to ban single-use plastics here in Canada but even that is not enough to stop the destruction of the planet and I’m not leaving any offspring behind to deal with that mess, haha
@@jarjargreens +cari cakes One of the big arguments for me as well. And you could always adopt an existing child if you really really would want one. On the other hand, at some point our sun is stopping producing energy and than all life will be over anyway, but yeah, in one or two generations the conditions on earth will already be really bad, I don't really want to do that to anyone. Ressource-wise we would need a second planet by 2050 if everyone would live like we do in industrialised countries, that paired with human accelarated climate change is really not a place I want to bring children into.
1) Absolutely stan the way you guys perceive marriage and the way you guys made it official - literal goals. Super chill, no big deal, marriage is just a big legal commitment so let's just sign some papers and get on w it. Yes. 2) Honestly, as a guy, I am SICK n tired when women are expected to give birth to a child. No is a no. If they don't want one, they don't want one - period. It is not an obligation, it's a choice. I personally wouldn't want to carry a heavy ass HUMAN BEING for 9 MONTHS just to take care of it further and teach it life skills for 18 YEARS. Y'all...I can't even take care of myself, what makes you think I could take care of a child... 3) 10:28...b-but we really do love your hair .w. 4) 12:20 Amen sister 12:48 YEEEES! Let's enjoy crispy, grilled and maybe burnt food in hell
cari, this might be weird (or wonderful), but you're one of the people i can most relate to on youtube. thank you for always being so honest! i'm just as enamored of your work as i was a few years ago. as we both change, you keep getting taller and bigger and taller and bigger, like a beautiful tree. i'm glad to be a small but significant part of your journey, and i know you'll keep growing more and more. to 100k more subscribers
cari cakes eh, as a six foot redhead, being nicknamed ‘viking’ isn’t that great. They get really funny looks when I tell them my five siblings are all taller then me
I found this Q&A very refreshing and insightful :) I got married early 2018 and we don’t plan to have kids either. Most typically are offended to an extent when I tell them it’s not something I want but it doesn’t mean I don’t like kids, I just don’t want any of my own. On that note, fur babies are gonna take over my life 😂
Congratulations on the button! So happy to be seeing your channel grow! I am someone who absolutely loathes going places alone. People make me kind of anxious when I'm alone haha. But I think that another part of it is that I am just uncomfortable with being alone with myself. I really admire how you can go on solo trips and adventures and enjoy yourself so much! :D
Ah Cari after all this time of following you, I’m still amazed how relatable you are to me… solo travelling, seeing weddings as not a very romantic thing, not necessarily wanting kids etc. … it’s so rare to find people I could connect with when it comes to these things! Congrats again on your 100k and have a nice day :)
Congrats on 100k, Carie!! 👏❤️ So well deserved ☺️ On the ‘When are you guys having kids?’ questions, oh boy...I feel you, lol. We’re going to be married 5 years in November and it’s STILL probably our most asked question. A lot of people just assume everyone wants kids 😅 Loved the way you approached that question 👏
My boyfriend and I have been together for 15 years, have bought and renovated a house to live in, yet aren't married. We don't want kids either. Imagine how confused people get when we tell them...
I’m studying in Spain _alone_ next summer and it’ll be my first time traveling!! So honestly really needed that advice about starting small for solo travel! (I’m still too scared to go to Walmart alone 😭 I’ll work on it...)
I totally understand u on your view on marriage and not wanting to have kids!! I feel the same and I actually don't know anyone else that doesn't want to have kids so it's always nice to hear people talking about it hehe Anyway I don't usually comment on videos so I'll just take this opportunity to tell u I love your videos very much and they are very calming 💕
yeah its hard especially when people tell you its just a phase but knowing there are other people out there like you is so important!! and thank you!!!
I'm a redhead, and people do stare and I get comments. It annoyed me when I was younger, but it doesn't bother me anymore at all. I eventually realized that many times people are looking to converse or connect with others and my hair can give them a segue into finding the courage to break the ice. It's such a waste of energy to get upset or annoyed with people who notice you. There are many people out there who feel alone and wish someone would notice any detail about them.
Congrats on the 100k! I only started following a few months ago, but I've loved all the content here. I to~~tally agree with what you said about the vibes on this channel. It's like a little UA-cam haven and I'm really stoked to see what else you do!^^
It's so trippy to be in South Korea finally so when you talk about the typhoon I'm like, "Oh yeah. That was a crazy day." I loved your videos before I moved and I love them even more now that I can share in the experiences first-hand. Thank you for these very relaxed Q&A's!
“When are you having kids” is such an annoying question. I’ve never even been in a relationship and I get questions like “when are you finding a bf” A woman’s whole life is defined by having kids or even getting married. I don’t want kids either and I feel the same
I want kids, but as an asexual person, I don’t necessarily want the husband that’s supposed to come with biological children. When I joke about ‘just buying children from other countries’ aka adopting, people do tend to get offended at that
CONGRATULATIONS CARI!!! 💕💕 Been watching your videos since before moving to Korea (over a year ago) and its amazing to see how much your channel has grown. ☺️💗
Honestly i only love Q and A'S when they come from the right person ! someone who i'm genuinely interested in getting to know it was sooooo good to know more about you and your perspective on things. loving you even more
I can relate to the solo travelling part. When I go somewhere with someone, I am more anxious even if it's a close friend I am with because I'm thinking I have to ensure that he/she is enjoying his/her time. At the end of the day, I feel more exhausted than happy... so I prefer to travel alone especially when it's out of the country because I have complete control of my activities. Love this kind of vlogs! Thanks a lot! 🧡
I absolutely love this Q&A your answers on children, religion, paranormal were spot on with my beliefs. I love your channel and I just think you are such an incredibly bright space in the UA-cam world. Congrats on the button and marriage!
I was SHOCKED! You're actually MARRIED?! since when??? I probably missed that video I probably need to watch that, but I wanted to say congratulations for receiving that award and for getting married. I wish for both of your success in both career and relationship, good health, and a peaceful life together with your husband, you deserve the best - both of you deserves the best and we're always here for you. Lots and lots of love
Congrats on 100k!! I've been watching your videos since 2016 when I was still living in Seoul (I think you posted one of your vlogs in an expat group) and it's so nice to see how your channel has evolved over time. You're making me miss Korea T_T
I love your videos! They’re always so calming! And omg congrats for the button, you’re one of my top favorite youtubers so I’m so happy to see that you finally got the button

The Q&A's are great, and would really appreciate another one with Kurt. You always say he's really busy, but I hope he can be in a vid once in a while. Congrats
Cari, you and your videos are so inspiring! Thanks for that ❤️ Also love your “hair like fire” 🔥 One of my wishes is to be reborn as a natural redhead lolol. Congrats again on 100k, you deserve it!
PLEASE make a video about the "my body is wrong or the clothes are wrong" topic, I was shopping for pants last week and I felt so bad about myself bc they either wouldn't fit me or they would look bad with my shape, so this vid would really come in handy! Also thank you for your honesty in this video, I really like hearing more about you :)
Ahh watching this Q&A is so calming! I really enjoy hearing your genuine perspective about all the different topics! I feel like I'd love to hear you talk about things in life, struggles that people go through etc. Thank you so much for keeping it real ^^
Yay for sit down videos! And thanks for the advices on solo travel, your vlogs helped me so much in the past with doing more things on my own and it's been a blast. You deserve the 100k and it's growing fast 🎉
i'm so happy you talked about solo travel! i took my first solo trip to philly last year (i live in nyc) and next month i'm spending a week in london by myself! it's all about stepping stones! ♥️
oh and this Q&A wasn't boring at all!! you have a lovely and calming voice so i love hearing you talk :') so if you want to do them every 2 months again i wouldn't mind
Love the Q&A's! They're a wonderful pause between vlogs where it feels like we get to connect with you more (cuz it feels like a one-on-one convo I guess?) but also it gives you the opportunity to tell us how you're doing, what's currently going on, and let us understand more of where you're coming from just in general at that particular moment in time. So thank you for letting us chat and connect with you in these Q&A's!
Nawwww rightly deserved sweetness embodied - your channel and editing style is so simple and I find your videos amazingly Zen to watch.. I really appreciate you sharing a more relaxed and less hyped side of South Korea and you have inspired me to want to visit. I look forward to following your adventures to your future 200k+ xox
Thanks for this Q&A. I am introvert and it's very comforting to know that introverts can still be adventurous during travels. Love your vlogs and until next time, bye~
I know this is so late but Kurt's "babam" and "wooo" also your "waaww" are making my days several times each time I have a bad day (cuz I replay that part too much lol)
I’m so excited for your Scotland trip because as a local to Glasgow it’ll be so cool to watch them! And I really enjoy watching Q&A’s because I can stick them on in the background and get some work or like organising done.
i would love to watch your video about the sizing in Korea's clothing! i've only lived in Seoul for a little while but this is something that keeps troubling me.
I agreed with so much of what you said! Your comments about people's expectations of what steps you should be doing with your life really hit home for me. I'm the opposite of you, I dont like kids but I do want one of my own! It's hard feeling the pressure that you need to act a certain way and have certain attitudes towards things because you're a woman, or because you're a newlywed. In fact-- I dont tell most people in my life that I even want children because I hate the thought that they think that's expected of me-- instead of them seeing it as a soul-searching, and much discussed decision that me and my husband have made. Knowing that we are giving up things to do this. But, I've found much relief in trying to let those outside opinions roll off my back. You can only control yourself and your reactions.
cari, I always feel like I can relate to you in so many ways. First, it’s so refreshing to have someone say that they don’t want kids. I’m still not sure about this myself and it feels like I’m the only one in my group of friends actually questioning something that we’ve been conditioned to believe it’s “the right way of living for everyone”. I feel so lonely about this sometimes. So thank you. Also, I can relate to the solo travelling with anxiety so much. Surprisingly I even find myself less anxious when travelling sometimes compared to being home. Last year I went to Japan by myself for the first time, while I wasn’t even able to use the train in my hometown because of anxiety just a couple of weeks prior, and it was the best experience of my life. I think a big portion of why I love travelling solo is the flexibility as well. I love your work, it’s a pleasure to watch your videos and be a part of your not-so-small fanbase. Congrats for 100k, you deserve it!
Cari you keep making videos and you be true to you because that’s why people watch this channel! And if they don’t like what they see they don’t have to watch it your videos are incredible you do a great job of showing a side of Korea that not a lot of people get to see. I love that you mix it up between fun travel vlogs daily life and then you do Q&A is as well. You have done a phenomenal job with how you do your vlogging. I watch a lot of different people on UA-cam and I have to say yours is one that I look forward to like every week because even simple things you’re just so relatable and real and I can’t watch some of the blogs when you can tell that people are being fake and phony such as I have to do this for view I have to be extra happy. No if that’s not what your channels about then don’t do it and you don’t do that you keep it very real and relatable and honest. I just want to say keep doing what you’re doing exactly how you’re doing it congratulations on hitting 100+ K subscribers!
I’m so happy for you on the subs! I like your q&as because any video you make puts me in a good mood and I like hearing what you have to say and getting a slightly more well rounded understanding of your viewpoints I guess, but it’s not usually something I’d seek out although I do really like more specific q&as,, like if all the questions have kind of a theme or general topic! But that doesn’t make a huge difference or anything I just love your content!
I hate the pregnancy questions so much. I have 1 child and the questions of having another one drive me up a wall. It never ends but I really wish it would.
I love when people know kids aren't for them instead of just having children to conform to norms.... children deserve to be greatly desired and cherished and not be born cuz it's the "next step" in life. I applaud you and know you will be a wonderful doggie mama! Love your vlogs... I truly enjoy Q&As to learn more about someone than just making assumptions. Thank you for sharing!
this was a great q&a! it didn't feel like a bummer at all. i totally agree with the sentiments you shared about religion. my mom is irish and was raised very catholic, but hated how structured and hierarchical it was for her. we're more spiritual in my house so we do christmas and solstice lmao. loved the colors in this video!
I feel the same way about getting married. I don’t feel as if it’s a necessity but if I do ever marry I’d want it to be just me and that person. Wanting to wear a pretty dress and looking like a fairy would be my only reason to have a party bc honestly I’d love to be a fairy princess for a day 🧚🏻♀️
I definitely agree with your take on traveling alone. People always ask my huh isn't it boring/scary/lonely/awkward traveling alone, but no it's not. I love it. I love deciding what I want to do, where I want to go and what I don't want to do. I feel so free and content doing that every once in a while. And yes I love traveling with family or friends, but to alternate between that and traveling alone is perfect for me :) That's also why it's inspiring to see you go to all of these places by yourself!
Omg the advice about doing little solo trips before going to Korea for three months alone was literally @ me 😂. I need to get out by myself more before I study abroad and freak out lmao thanks cari! Always giving me the advice I didn’t realize I needed hahaha
definitely go out for lil practice rounds hahaha it sounds so silly but it will really help you in the long run!! even if you just go to a cafe and watch youtube there hahahahhaa
Love Q&A’s and learning more about you. Honestly, it would be great if you kept up with them because I need to step up my question asking game 😂Also, I’m a natural blonde, but I dyed my hair with henna and it was a whole new world. I’ve always loved red hair and admired my family with red hair, but having it myself totally trips me out. I tend to forget people can see me when when there were comments on my hair I was super confused. And seeing the occasional other red haired person and being “we match!” in my mind
Sorry this wasn't the most lighthearted and fun Q&A haha but im really interested in your thoughts on these Qs too! As always, THANK YOU!!

congrats on the button you deserve it so so so much!!
yay!!! it took me a really long time to realize that and get over myself tbh haha sometimes its still hard :)
@@caricakes yeah it's still hard, especially when you notice how many people are with their friends too haha
Great tips about preparing to travel alone. I love going it alone, but eating out can be awkward - definitely, a journal is a wonderful companion.
It's so trippy to be in South Korea finally so when you talk about the typhoon I'm like, "Oh yeah. That was a crazy day." I loved your videos before I moved and I love them even more now that I can share in the experiences first-hand. Thank you for these very relaxed Q&A's!
bahaha glad we got through that crazy weather together!!
“When are you having kids” is such an annoying question. I’ve never even been in a relationship and I get questions like “when are you finding a bf” A woman’s whole life is defined by having kids or even getting married. I don’t want kids either and I feel the same
ughhhh let us just live our lives people!!!!
I want kids, but as an asexual person, I don’t necessarily want the husband that’s supposed to come with biological children. When I joke about ‘just buying children from other countries’ aka adopting, people do tend to get offended at that
Hey I knew you would get to 100k! I told you that a long time ago. In fact you will have million very soon!
thank you so much and omg no i dont know about that but a girl can dream hahahah
congratulations !! you deserve it 🥺💗
thank youuuu!
@@caricakes you are absolutely welcome!! ☺️💗💗
Congrats!!!! What an awesome plaque. Happy for you 🙌🏽👏🏽
thank you!!
CONGRATULATIONS CARI!!! 💕💕
Been watching your videos since before moving to Korea (over a year ago) and its amazing to see how much your channel has grown. ☺️💗
thank you so much!!!!!
Honestly i only love Q and A'S when they come from the right person ! someone who i'm genuinely interested in getting to know
it was sooooo good to know more about you and your perspective on things.
loving you even more
I can relate to the solo travelling part. When I go somewhere with someone, I am more anxious even if it's a close friend I am with because I'm thinking I have to ensure that he/she is enjoying his/her time. At the end of the day, I feel more exhausted than happy... so I prefer to travel alone especially when it's out of the country because I have complete control of my activities. Love this kind of vlogs! Thanks a lot! 🧡
i really like your q and a videos!! it’s always really interesting to hear your thoughts, it feels like we’re sitting down and chatting together ☺️🌷
wahhh thank you!
Congratulations! Your videos are often a great chill take on a hectic place. Keep it up!
hehe thank you so much!
I absolutely love this Q&A your answers on children, religion, paranormal were spot on with my beliefs. I love your channel and I just think you are such an incredibly bright space in the UA-cam world. Congrats on the button and marriage!
I was SHOCKED! You're actually MARRIED?! since when??? I probably missed that video I probably need to watch that, but I wanted to say congratulations for receiving that award and for getting married. I wish for both of your success in both career and relationship, good health, and a peaceful life together with your husband, you deserve the best - both of you deserves the best and we're always here for you. Lots and lots of love
thank you so much!! hhaha idk how no one saw that video hehe
Congrats on 100k!! I've been watching your videos since 2016 when I was still living in Seoul (I think you posted one of your vlogs in an expat group) and it's so nice to see how your channel has evolved over time. You're making me miss Korea T_T
wahhhh thank you so so much!!!!
I love your videos! They’re always so calming! And omg congrats for the button, you’re one of my top favorite youtubers so I’m so happy to see that you finally got the button
GAH!! thank you so much!
congrats I’m rooting for u forever❤️❤️
thank you so much ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Congratulations Caaaariiiii!! Also following you on tumblr :) love your Q&A, I Super agree with all your views and opinions, I feel like I belong 😂
thank you so much ahhhh!!!
I loved what you had to say Cari! Especially on religion and having children of your own. I am in my early 30s and constantly feel the pressure, even when I'm firm on not wanting to have children. While unnecessary comments from friends and strangers can be super annoying, I was very surprised at the fact that I myself was pressuring myself too. It was easy for me to say I didnt want children when I was 25. It's a whole other thing in your 30s though where that decision is almost final (biology etc) you get feelings of fomo etc. Lol. I am only saying all this because I
1.love to hear from women who also choose not to have children and are living full and happy lives and
2. Because I want to give you a heads up of the questioning and doubts that may arise later. That is also normal.
Also random: but if you're ever in Germany and need a tour guide, hit me up sis 😊💜
The Q&A's are great, and would really appreciate another one with Kurt. You always say he's really busy, but I hope he can be in a vid once in a while. Congrats
maybe since this week is a holiday i can get him to sit down and record hahahha
Beautiful Q&A vlog! Never too much. Appreciate everything you do.
thank you always!
I’m a mom, and I love my one kid so much, but I can be a lot for this introvert sometimes lol. Your videos are my escape during nap time lol.
i feel like moms are the ones who deserve the nap!!! hahahah
Congratulations on your UA-cam and marriage
thank you so much and omg i get that all the time! its a great compliment hehehe
Love your positivity and videos!:D greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸
thank you!!!
A break day during solo travelling is SO important. Being by yourself doesn't mean you won't get tired.
YES!!!
Cari, you and your videos are so inspiring! Thanks for that ❤️ Also love your “hair like fire” 🔥 One of my wishes is to be reborn as a natural redhead lolol. Congrats again on 100k, you deserve it!
I’m going to Korea next year to learn the language. And I love your videos
hope you have a great time!!
PLEASE make a video about the "my body is wrong or the clothes are wrong" topic, I was shopping for pants last week and I felt so bad about myself bc they either wouldn't fit me or they would look bad with my shape, so this vid would really come in handy!
Also thank you for your honesty in this video, I really like hearing more about you :)
Ahh watching this Q&A is so calming! I really enjoy hearing your genuine perspective about all the different topics! I feel like I'd love to hear you talk about things in life, struggles that people go through etc. Thank you so much for keeping it real ^^
thank you!!!
Yay for sit down videos! And thanks for the advices on solo travel, your vlogs helped me so much in the past with doing more things on my own and it's been a blast. You deserve the 100k and it's growing fast 🎉
i'm so happy you talked about solo travel! i took my first solo trip to philly last year (i live in nyc) and next month i'm spending a week in london by myself! it's all about stepping stones! ♥️
yesss omg very jealous of your london trip!
oh and this Q&A wasn't boring at all!! you have a lovely and calming voice so i love hearing you talk :') so if you want to do them every 2 months again i wouldn't mind
thank you ahhhh!
Love the Q&A's! They're a wonderful pause between vlogs where it feels like we get to connect with you more (cuz it feels like a one-on-one convo I guess?) but also it gives you the opportunity to tell us how you're doing, what's currently going on, and let us understand more of where you're coming from just in general at that particular moment in time. So thank you for letting us chat and connect with you in these Q&A's!
thank you so much im glad you enjoyed^^
I'm constantly so grateful that I get to watch you and hear your thoughts about life and all that entails. I'm definitely wiser for it!
thank you so much!!
Rainy day Q+A, perfect. Blessed be
hehehe
Nawwww rightly deserved sweetness embodied - your channel and editing style is so simple and I find your videos amazingly Zen to watch.. I really appreciate you sharing a more relaxed and less hyped side of South Korea and you have inspired me to want to visit. I look forward to following your adventures to your future 200k+ xox
thank you so so much!
Thanks for this Q&A. I am introvert and it's very comforting to know that introverts can still be adventurous during travels. Love your vlogs and until next time, bye~
yes!!! introverts out in the world hehe
I havent been up to date with your video's for a while so I AM SHOOK! Congrats on getting married girl🎉 I am super happy for you! ❤
I know this is so late but Kurt's "babam" and "wooo" also your "waaww" are making my days several times each time I have a bad day (cuz I replay that part too much lol)
I’m so excited for your Scotland trip because as a local to Glasgow it’ll be so cool to watch them! And I really enjoy watching Q&A’s because I can stick them on in the background and get some work or like organising done.
im so excited too ahhhhhhhhhh and heheh thank you ;) glad i could help^^
Conrats !! For the wedding and for the you tube achievement. All well deserved !
i would love to watch your video about the sizing in Korea's clothing!
i've only lived in Seoul for a little while but this is something that keeps troubling me.
thats why i just thrift to be honest hahahha
People always ask if I’m pregnant too when I say I feel sick 😆 congrats on getting married! I’ll be married soon as well in Japan :)
OMG CONGRATS! Cannot wait to see the "wedding dress" photo. :)
This vlog was so timely! I'm travelling alone for the first time tomorrow and I was feeling a little nervous. Thanks for the advice! Loved the Q&A.
you can do it!!!
simply love your style!!! even that blue blanket draped on the chair complements everything so well and really looks nice with your hair
thank you so much! my grammy made it :)
I agreed with so much of what you said! Your comments about people's expectations of what steps you should be doing with your life really hit home for me. I'm the opposite of you, I dont like kids but I do want one of my own! It's hard feeling the pressure that you need to act a certain way and have certain attitudes towards things because you're a woman, or because you're a newlywed. In fact-- I dont tell most people in my life that I even want children because I hate the thought that they think that's expected of me-- instead of them seeing it as a soul-searching, and much discussed decision that me and my husband have made. Knowing that we are giving up things to do this. But, I've found much relief in trying to let those outside opinions roll off my back. You can only control yourself and your reactions.
yes! its your life and only you can live it!!
cari, I always feel like I can relate to you in so many ways. First, it’s so refreshing to have someone say that they don’t want kids. I’m still not sure about this myself and it feels like I’m the only one in my group of friends actually questioning something that we’ve been conditioned to believe it’s “the right way of living for everyone”. I feel so lonely about this sometimes. So thank you. Also, I can relate to the solo travelling with anxiety so much. Surprisingly I even find myself less anxious when travelling sometimes compared to being home. Last year I went to Japan by myself for the first time, while I wasn’t even able to use the train in my hometown because of anxiety just a couple of weeks prior, and it was the best experience of my life. I think a big portion of why I love travelling solo is the flexibility as well.
I love your work, it’s a pleasure to watch your videos and be a part of your not-so-small fanbase. Congrats for 100k, you deserve it!
i totally agree with that about travel!! and thank you so much!
I enjoyed the Q and A. I’m a pretty new subscriber so it was nice to learn a little more about you 🙃
thank you!!
Your views and beliefs fit mine a lot. It’s comforting hearing similar perspectives 😊
Congrats Cari for hitting that silver button! I hope can do that as well to live in Korea even for a month what is life like be.
thank you! and i hope you can too!
i love Q&As specially the easy going ones, scratch that - i love all your videos! 🌼
^_^~ thank you!
Aww congrats Cari! I remember when i just subscribed and you were at 1.2k!
Yesss i remember finding you on tumblr when i was moving to korea it was so nice to still be with you and help support you
Cari you keep making videos and you be true to you because that’s why people watch this channel! And if they don’t like what they see they don’t have to watch it your videos are incredible you do a great job of showing a side of Korea that not a lot of people get to see. I love that you mix it up between fun travel vlogs daily life and then you do Q&A is as well. You have done a phenomenal job with how you do your vlogging. I watch a lot of different people on UA-cam and I have to say yours is one that I look forward to like every week because even simple things you’re just so relatable and real and I can’t watch some of the blogs when you can tell that people are being fake and phony such as I have to do this for view I have to be extra happy. No if that’s not what your channels about then don’t do it and you don’t do that you keep it very real and relatable and honest. I just want to say keep doing what you’re doing exactly how you’re doing it congratulations on hitting 100+ K subscribers!
Congrats!! Loved the honest Q&A.
thank you!!
I’m so happy for you on the subs! I like your q&as because any video you make puts me in a good mood and I like hearing what you have to say and getting a slightly more well rounded understanding of your viewpoints I guess, but it’s not usually something I’d seek out although I do really like more specific q&as,, like if all the questions have kind of a theme or general topic! But that doesn’t make a huge difference or anything I just love your content!
thank you!! i'll keep that in mind for future Q&As^^~
This video just makes appreciate you even more! So glad I found your channel a few weeks back 💖
100K easy mode! 1M incoming for sure! Congrats.
hahahh thank you!
0:48 you've got to upload that video....... Congratulations again you totally deserve it and some much more!💐
lol maybe one day! its literally just 5 minutes of him reading the note from the YT CEO hahaahhah thank you!!
I hate the pregnancy questions so much. I have 1 child and the questions of having another one drive me up a wall. It never ends but I really wish it would.
ugh i can only imagine! i grew up and only child and turned out just fine^^ hheehe
I love when people know kids aren't for them instead of just having children to conform to norms.... children deserve to be greatly desired and cherished and not be born cuz it's the "next step" in life. I applaud you and know you will be a wonderful doggie mama! Love your vlogs... I truly enjoy Q&As to learn more about someone than just making assumptions. Thank you for sharing!
yes!! its not fair to the kids for sure haha thank you!!!
Congrats cari! You deserve the world 😊💕
gah! thank you!!
this was a great q&a! it didn't feel like a bummer at all. i totally agree with the sentiments you shared about religion. my mom is irish and was raised very catholic, but hated how structured and hierarchical it was for her. we're more spiritual in my house so we do christmas and solstice lmao. loved the colors in this video!
yes!!!! and thank you!!!
I feel the same way about getting married. I don’t feel as if it’s a necessity but if I do ever marry I’d want it to be just me and that person. Wanting to wear a pretty dress and looking like a fairy would be my only reason to have a party bc honestly I’d love to be a fairy princess for a day 🧚🏻♀️
100% me hahahhahaha
LOVEEE your music choice and q&a tooo ❤️
thank you!!
I definitely agree with your take on traveling alone. People always ask my huh isn't it boring/scary/lonely/awkward traveling alone, but no it's not. I love it. I love deciding what I want to do, where I want to go and what I don't want to do. I feel so free and content doing that every once in a while. And yes I love traveling with family or friends, but to alternate between that and traveling alone is perfect for me :) That's also why it's inspiring to see you go to all of these places by yourself!
yessssss exactly!
Congratulations again for the 100k subscribers, Cari!! I love your QandAs because i like learning about you and Korea :)
Congrats on 100K! You've put in so much work in your channel and I'm glad to see your sub count grow :)
thank you so much!
"it's not my body that's the problem it's the clothes that are the problem" so important!! thank u i've been trying to put this into words recently
Omg the advice about doing little solo trips before going to Korea for three months alone was literally @ me 😂. I need to get out by myself more before I study abroad and freak out lmao thanks cari! Always giving me the advice I didn’t realize I needed hahaha
definitely go out for lil practice rounds hahaha it sounds so silly but it will really help you in the long run!! even if you just go to a cafe and watch youtube there hahahahhaa
Also! I loveeee the Q&A’s! Really any sit down video from you is so nice and like talking to a friend ☺️❤️
Love Q&A’s and learning more about you. Honestly, it would be great if you kept up with them because I need to step up my question asking game 😂Also, I’m a natural blonde, but I dyed my hair with henna and it was a whole new world. I’ve always loved red hair and admired my family with red hair, but having it myself totally trips me out. I tend to forget people can see me when when there were comments on my hair I was super confused. And seeing the occasional other red haired person and being “we match!” in my mind
thank you so much and omg yeah i cant imagine being suddenly thrown into the red head community lmao its a trip!
I love your videos! Thank you for the tips for traveling and saying it’s ok to start just being comfortable going to a cafe or something small.
CONGRATULATIONS💞
Nice video! Congratulations I guess its kind of late but whatever!🤣
LOL thank you!
@@caricakes Haha no problem!
whoa the sky at 16:48 looks amazing
