Hi guys! Last week I hopped on a train out to Namyangju, the area right next to Seoul that feels like a world away. The nature was absolutely breathtaking and I can't hype this bike path up enough! If you're looking for something to do solo or a fun day with some friends, this was a really peaceful, easy escape from the city and I was back in Seoul for dinner :) Thanks as always for coming along for the ride!

ALSO while I was riding I got to the 'were-tiger' part of the book and its actually the opposite of werewolves! Instead of men turning to wolves, its tigers turning to men!
Hey there! I'm absolutely in love with us shots! I wanted to ask if ure fine with me using some clips of ur video for an edit? :)
The tree is called Viburnum carlesii
What a Spirited Away-looking place, just looking at it makes my lungs feel clean
right?! i was worried i'd come out in a different world when i went through the tunnel hehe
I feel like you dropped into a ghibli movie??
right?! if i looked hard enough i could have seen the tree spirits :')
Perfect description - looks like a Ghibli movie indeed 😊
yesss! I was thinking exactly same thing!
Cari !! The "bike only trail" goes all the way to not only Incheon but also Busan. Actually it's connected to most of cities of Korea. I'm really missing " the bike only trails " in Korea.
When i lived in Seoul. I had a fantastic opportunity to ride the bike all the way to Busan with my friends for 3days. Because It's only for bikes along the several rivers , there is no threats from the cars , pollution and Zombies like Train to Busan. Lol. You can just enjoy sheer beautiful country side of Korea. Fully recommended when you are in Korea!!!
Crazy!!!! Sounds amazing!
That´s so cool, now I understand why a lot of people do that. It must so safe and easy
Let's help this gorgeous lady to achieved that silver play button. 💯▶️🙌🙌🙌
gahhh thank you!! one day!!
@@caricakes haha you got it now!
the old photos at the train station are so fascinating! also i saw a comment that said they felt like you dropped into a ghibli movie... that is the most accurate thing ever haha i 100% agree.
edit: also you saying "because this is Korea, I was able to leave my bike in the parking lot without locking it or anything. It's still here, its fine" is literally so cool. I love that.
it really was!! there were so many of them! and omg right haha i love not stressing about things getting stolen
Emilinaline same goes for Japan! I never have to lock my bike in the city or worry about someone stealing my bag when I leave it on the beach and go for a walk 😌🌺
margo ovs yes! Japan and Japanese culture was my first culture love before I discovered South Korea and Korean culture :) I admire places such as Japan for the same reasons!
If this was in the netherlands her bike would have been stolen 5 times 😂 I got my bike stolen 3 times with 2 locks only this year 😭
@@tuyn8403 precies wat ik dacht xd vooral in rotterdam lol
always open to the vibes you send off in every video, such a wholesome channel.
gah thanks!! sending you all the benefits of a summer bike ride without the risk of a sunburn haha
I haven't finished watching the video yet but I want to comment before it gets buried with all the other comments. I wanted to say congrats on all the positive growth, support, and views you've been receiving the past few months. I've been following you for three years now. It's been wonderful how much you and your channel has grown. Don't forget about the ones that's been with you since day one. Much love!
oh my goodness thank you so much and thank you for sticking around! i can't believe we've been doing this for that long :') hope i can keep up the content and improve along the way :)
Up from 4am for Eurovision then some wonderful Cari content with beautiful scenery and dog watch! Also again audiobook sponsor such a fancy youtuber now!
omg you're dedicated hahahaha im just watching via my friends' insta stories hahahah and thank you thank you!!
the thumbnail reminds me of an indie film ughhh i love this so much
heheheh thank you!!
It's really fun to ride a bike around. Makes the heart feel calm, comfortable, good for a fresh mind and always be healthy.
I was in Paldang 2 weeks ago and it was absolutely gorgeous, can't recommend enough! I bike to work every day and so biking for pleasure was a welcome change. I'm glad you had a good time and thanks for sharing ♡
im so sad i didnt know about this place sooner! its such a breath of fresh air! i wish the summers here werent so deadly hot so i could bike more often haha
Wow Your video is really awesome .
Well prepared plum for your energy and vitamin. So impressive. 🥰🥰
The way you excitedly rushed over to the trees and curiously started smelling them was so wholesome I love it.
I love that you literally had an emergency stop to smell the flowers. That’s a perfect representation of this whole video. 🌸❤️
Hehehe thank you!
It’s so beautiful, and that seems so relaxing, mountains, rivers, bikes and sunsine💜☺️ it feels nice to even think about it! If I ever go to Korea will 💯 go there!
it was 100% healing time hahaha
I really live for ur music choices 💛
😊 thank you!
Nice right!!!
the bike trail connects Incheon to Busan actually. If you have the time and the guts, give it a try. it was a life-changing experience for me.
I’ve been binging all your videos and they always make me so happy and motivated! You make such great content!
Wow thanks for sharing this place..!
I spent my whole life living in Seoul but I am finding out about good places to check out because of your vlogs..!! Thank you!!
i wish i had heard about this place sooner too!! hope you enjoy it^^
Wow it's incredibly beautiful there, the river is gorgeous. There's nothing like being out where it green and peaceful.
Agreed!!!
Your videos have the best comments. Like all your people are good people because YOU are good people, Miss Cari. 😊😊😊
🙈🙈🙈 im really lucky!!
Watching this right now, exactly 1 year after you posted it! How I wish I'm biking now looking at nature! That before finishing the tunnel, as your camera gradually focuses, reminded me so much of the film Little Forest. So gorgeous!
The place is ssssooo pretty! Wow. I will try the audiobook thanks cari! San Diego represents. 😂😂
yessss highly suggest it for right-before-bed listening!
Just 10k to go!!!! Silver Play button..
🥰
Wow I need more bike rides in my life ... and beautiful scenery such as this!! Thanks for this! 💛
i didnt realize how much i needed it too!!! thanks for watching :)
I would never expect that to be just a subway ride away from Seoul! It was so beautiful!
its like a new world!!
This is such a lovely little oasis of a video. Thank you for making vlogs that just help everyone escape troubles for a little bit. Such a cool new place makes me want to go looking for something similar in my area.
Thank YOU so much 🙈
Oh yay! I’ve been waiting for another trip out of Seoul video!
yesss!! i have so many planned for this summer!!
I lived in Namyangju from 2015-2017, and used to love riding my bike out of town and being out in a natural setting on weekends. Beautiful place to live. Thanks for sharing this, so nostalgic for me! :)
i wish i went out there more!!
I think in this video you looks really happy. Perfect ride on day with perfect weather. Nothing could be better!
It was a total mood booster ahhhhh!! Thanks for watching!
I loved this! So magical and lovely 😭 Thanks for the video, Cari 🙏 Will have to check this place out too some time!
i still can't believe this is just a subway ride away from seoul!! definitely check it out before summer is in full swing here hahahaha
i got 'the night tiger' as one of my book of the month picks a while ago & i can't wait to finally get around to it. also i love audiobooks. not only do they make my long work days go by much quicker, but i also get my reading in for the day when i normally wouldn't have time.
enjoyed following you on your little adventure!
its such a nice pace and keeps taking turns i didnt expect - highly recommend the book!! and heheh thank you for coming along~
L O V E ! ! ! the opening shot ! ! ! ! So cute and creative ! ! ! ! I absolutely LOVED this place and oh my god i can't wait to come back to Korea and go there for some quality riding ! ! ! ! ! THANK YOU for getting us with you in this amazing ride ! ! ! !
THAT VIEW!!!! Looks amazing, and so close to the city, its amazing that you can go to such amazing places with just a subway ride. So green, so peaceful. You can tell that you had an amazing trip.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. And the book sounds really interesting.
i wish things like this were more accessible everywhere :'( in san diego we have so many beautiful places to explore but you cant get there without a car ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Thanks for sharing your video! I did cross Korea bicycle tour last Feb and March. It was cold then. Paldang looks so much more beautiful with greens and flowers. Keep loading up good videos, and keep pedaling!
Whoa! I need to give this a try one day! Thanks for this Cari!!
thanks for watching!!
Absolutely LOVE your solo rides, you give me ideas and hope! Keep having fun and never stop exploring!!!
Definitely my favorite video of yours I just keep coming back to watch it ! I love the scenery and your editing is perfect 😔👊🏻
I love your Spring Day recreation ❤ hahaha. This was so beautiful!! Thank you for this!
Thank you so much for this video! I miss South Korea with all my heart and I’m glad you are enjoying it as much as I did.
Absolutely stunning Cari. 👏 Will add this to a bucket list for Seoul. Thank you so much for all you do to inspire us. You will be solely responsible for any increase in visitors to this fascinating part of the world. 😄🌻
This was gorgeous! I am coming back to Korea for my 4th trip next week and I’m always looking for things I haven’t done before and I’m adding this to my list! Also I love your videos, so soothing :)
Yessss i highly recommend omg!!
Whoa Paldang looks stunning! That view panning out once you exit the tunnel - I’m definitely visiting this place one day! Can’t thank you enough for introducing and showing us all these cool new places.
Right?! Its gorgeous!! And thank you 🙈
I loved how you likened friendly people to that American thing where we always greet each other bc TRUE! Also this is like the only audible sponsorship I didn’t skip past bc you sound so excited and passionate about the book and the service. Basically you’re so sincere and likable and I love your wholesome content ^-^ 건강해주세요 hope you feel better soon~
omg thank you!! the book is seriously so good and listening to it before bed is such a dreamy experience :) and my cold is all gone now finally! thank you hehehe

This vid was such a delight to watch
The cinematography is strong in this one! Thanks for always making the cutest and chillest vids for lazy Sunday mornings 💚💚

While staying here in Seoul for the month I tried out this bike trail and I’m so happy I did. Thank you for all the great recommendations this biking trip was one for the books for me ❣️

@@caricakes everything is giving me studio ghibli vibes!!! i'm totally coming here next time i go to korea!
those views were magical 😭✨ especially the way the greenery is growing over the outside of the tunnels!! also wow your outfit was so cute ^^ 💕
The tunnel was amazing!!!
This spot is absolutely gorgeous...omg thank you for sharing it!
thanks for watching :)
new favorite vlog by cari 💜
😍🙏 thank you!!
That abandoned train station exceeded my expectations. Oh the joy that I'm missing~ This looks wonderful to experience alone or to go with friends, but mostly alone so you can listen to an audiobook~
Loved this vlog! That view was gorgeous! 😍
PRUNES! lmao love your grandma style ❤️
YESSSS
This is why I need to vacation there for a month so I can see all the places you have vlogged about. Also, can't decide which is cuter; your lunch box container or the sound you made after saying you brought your own food =D.
I feel like my list of places to go is still so long 😂
looks absolutely beautifullll
the old photos at the station were so cool. when I was young my parents always took me to the old steam railway stations in England and the atmosphere is really special.
and I have never seen a three person bike before can you imagine all trying to get started at the same time haha
A three person bike sounds like torture 😂 and trains are the best ahhhh
Your solo exploring spirit is truly inspiring
wahh thank you!!
This was pure magic to watch 😍
🥰🥰🥰
this will be one of my destinations once i visit korea! i love how that place feels so calming, peaceful and kind of nostalgic, a good place if you wanna be away from all those city sights! will definitely visit this place one day thank you cari! :-)
Yesss!! And its so close to seoul too!!
I loved everything about this vlog, but the highlight for me was the McConaughey part 😆😆😆 thanks for sharing this Cari!
omfg i edited this vid so long ago i FORGOT ABOUT THAT hahahahhahaha
I went here yesterday with my bf and it was hands down an amazing experience. Thank you so much Carie! I’m honestly sad that you’re leaving Korea soon. I had a really great time yesterday and I’m very thankful I saw your suggestions. 🌿
Im not leaving korea haha glad you had fun!
What an awesome way to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Will definitely bring a friend and do this in the fall. 😍
Yesss!! I cant wait for autumn already haha
Growing out your bangs is going well, I see. Love the new look, it suits you really well, you look amazing!
haha thank you! they're still a pain though, got a long way to go haha
Woah, this place is so gorgeous!
Right?! I cant believe we can reach this with the subway!!
Absolutely gorgeous. I love your Vlogs, Cari!! And you’re almost at 100k! Congrats!

Omg I am definitely going there in the next days, looks absolutely heavenly !! Thank you Cari :D
omg yay!! enjoy!! definitely check it out before it gets dreadfully hot this summer haha
@@caricakes YES it's already been hard to stay outside too long this week... croosing my fingers the rain keeps temperature down for a few days 🤞
This is absolutely breathtaking! Definitely need to go there!

I just did this bike ride today cus of this video and you were right, it is BEAUTIFUL. It was stunning
Yay!! I really want to see it in autumn, maybe I’ll head out again soon!
@@caricakes Make sure you get out to the peninsula and on the bridges that cross the island towards Yangsu station, the views are worth the hill!
@@caricakes Also, I love your videos! You find cool stuff to do/see and are fun to watch!
Summer Cari has arrived. 👏👏👏
Sweat and frizzy hair woooo ahhaha

this puts me in such a good and chilled mood *-*
im glad!!! thanks as always~
Wow it looks beautiful! I’ll definitely give it a try next weekend 💛
yesssss!! do it before it gets to hot this summer hehe
I'm from the Netherlands which is known for fanatically biking people and flat (boring) sceneries lol. I love this soooooo much!! When I was in Korea a few years ago I cycled along the Han river but in the middle of Seoul so it was quite busy. But this cycling path is THE DREAM. Absolutely gorgeous!!!! This is definitely on my to-go list for the next time I visit Korea(hopefully within 5 years). Thanks for exploring it for us!
The scenery is so gorgeous! I wish I was biking there myself! Thanks for the video!!
thanks for watching^^
This is really so, so pretty, calming and relaxing! And I wanna go on a bikeride over there so badly now. It all looks so beautiful. And I‘m actually in love with that bike you got❤️
i was so happy they had a bright blue bike hahaha hope you find the time and place to ride soon too!!
Loved this vlog sososoo much! Have a wonderful day~
gah thank you!!! have a wonderful day too~~
i’m from Malaysia and it felt so good to have you mention my country in your vlog! thank you!! please visit soon ♥️

You are the best vloger everrrr
gahhhh thank you!!
So beautiful, so peaceful! I wish I had a place like this to visit in my city.
Im so thankful this is accessible by subway 😭🙏
Right, this is definitely going on my "to do in Korea" list!! Such amazing views! So peaceful... so green... just wow!
Already on audible hehe
Thanks for sharing, as always!!
right?! such a good escape from the city!
the legend has it that if you get sponsored by audible, then you've made it as a youtuber. so congrats cari!!! this video was really cool and got me (of all people!!) wanting to go outside of paris to rent a bike and ride it in nature. wild! xxx
hahaha im so glad they partnered with lil ole me!!! and oh my goodness doooooo it!!
I just came across this video and so proud that Cari is listening to a book that was set in Malaysia.. omg Malaysian represents !!
I'm new to your channel and I gotta say absolutely love your vlogs!!!!! I desire to go to korea and make a living..so your vlogs allow me to see Korea without being there so thank you so much❤ PS loved they apt hunting vids 😍 so fun
My favorite kind of day. Thank you!
🥰🥰🥰
omg girl you should totally do another book recommendation video! i finally got to take up your recommendation for the alice network (ik that’s from ages ago, the wait listen was so long) and it was AMAZING so i kinda take your literary word as gospel now 😂😂 great video, totally gets me in the summer mood! ❤️
gah yessss!! im actually planning one soon cause i read a ton of depressing books and need to get them off my chest hahahha
cari cakes that statement is way too relatable haha, can’t wait!! ❤️❤️❤️
Soooooo beautiful 😍 It's looking so much like a miyazaki movie (like Ponyo on a cliff or my neighbor Totoro)
i would like to be with you on this trip because it seems so nice : the weather, the colors, the light .... I'm in love ☺️ thank you so much for this 🙏💗
It really was 😭
Beautiful! This inspired me to make a cycling vlog of my own.
woah, the place is so beautiful and the views are breathtaking! I kind of feel you would love Spain, this scenery reminded me so much of the mountains and sierra of Granada, now I want to go back so bad!!
i reeeeeeeeally want to visit spain! its on the top of my list!!!
Wow this is all so scenic~ The greenery and mountains are beautiful and the abandoned train station is super cool
its such a cool spot and so close to seoul!
@@caricakes Definitely! I remember a bike trail like this along the river but in 문막 which is all the way out in 원주. It borders 여주 I think
Ya girl with the sponsorships! Werk! This reminds me that I totally (unintentionally) bailed on my New Years resolution which was to read one book per month.... I’m 2 chapters from finishing the first one lol gotta get back on it
