- Another beautiful spring weekend here in Seoul! Korea has been blessed with some absolutely gorgeous weather and with the situation here almost completely under control, I thought I'd finally venture to the other side of the river and visit a new cafe in Ikseondong along with my favorite palace in the city :) Hope you don't mind a bit of lazy at home content too, cause I have plenty of that. Sending love as always!!

You mentioned feeling a little self conscious about showing your outings lately but for me, it’s wonderful to continue to see your life in Seoul! I love your illustrations and sketches in the video too. :) Watching your videos helps me feel like I’m walking around with you and exploring even though I’m stuck inside.
Thank you so much ✨🙏
Hello 😘Aaaaaaaah such a refreshing video. Coz we all r stuck in home now seeing u walking with nature is like breathing out aaaaaaaaaaaaaah🥰😍♥️ I am really missing South korea because last year I was there exactly this date, really nice to see u at palace which are now my most beautiful memories and yes my 1st ever girls trip 🤟🏼 thanks to my cousin, she help out lots with locations♥️
Same
I like that korean cafes are so calm and they actually let you stay after you finish your meal. In other places it would be like : "Do you want another coffee?" or basically get kicked out.
Omg I’ve literally stayed in a cafe for 5+ hours before ahhahah
Hopefully, customers are at least self aware enough to order enough to make it worth it for cafe owners. Small cafe owners in Korea have said that some people just stay for 8 hours with their laptops and electronics being charged while only ordering 1 or 2 $1 coffees, so they're actually losing money.
@@kimjack1000 I agree , I mean there has to be a balance . I just feel that it's rude to be asked to buy a new coffee or product in a cafe for example where prices start at like $6/7 every 30-45min. (for example). I just can't spend that much money . I know ...in that case that person could go to the library but it's just nice to work in a calm surrounding without any pressure still
staying conscious that you have to consume enough to actually help the owners. So I agree😊
kimjack1000 i agree with this but where are the cafes with coffee for $2 cause i need that haha in seoul minimum coffee price is probably $4 at least 🤧
Most of the time seoul cafes are expensive bc you're mostly paying for a sitting fee.
This might sound a little bit repetetive, but I cant stress enough how much energy,inspiration and just happiness refill your videos bring me!💪🏻🌼 Watching someone who also loves things that I love(like going to cafés,walking in parks and taking pictures of trees and plants😂😁😍🍃 etc) is such a confidence booster! As someone who gets energy and can really enjoy my alone time, as well as exploring places on my own. Watching someone a little older than me showing that that is not something wrong or weird but simply my own way and that is okay means soo much to me and has brought me so much mental peace! Thank you as always!🌾🌸🧡🌼
Yesss! Independence and loving the little things 🥰 thank you always truly 😭🙏
seoul seems like a dream. so many cafes!!!! don’t know if would help my caffeine addiction tho...
Especially when americano/espresso is always the cheapest thing on the menu hahhaha
for a person who's been quarantined for over 50 days with a whole country in lockdown (i'm from italy) your videos are a source of happiness for me. i feel like i'm the one taking those walks. thank you.
this is exactly how i feel too
@Jojo i know they will, i'm sure of it. i hold on to that to keep me going. thanks ♡
Stay strong Italy 🇮🇹🇰🇷
tenniechu hope the situation in Italy and other countries improves soon. It seemed hopeless at first but things are coming under control here in Korea so I am sure other countries will soon follow suit. Stay safe, love from Korea 💕
Me too. Quarantined at home for past 2 weeks. Vlogs kept me going while i did housework or schoolwork as I am a teacher. From Singapore n love the music n places in yr vlog. Thk you Carri! Haha..sorry for sounding really random.😉
I am a Korean grad student in the US. Actually, I lived in Seoul for about 10 years, but I've never seen the city in this way. Whenever I watch your videos, I feel like I wanna go back to Seoul!
I love how everyone can see a city so differently 😍 hope you can come visit again soon!!
do it!!
I think people need to get fresh air when they can. Staying cooped up at home and not going out isn’t completely healthy either. Here in the states, I live near and work in, a really small country town. My parents have sixteen acres so I have plenty of space for fresh air.
Ughhh... I am so envious of all the great cafes you have there! 😭maybe one day I’ll get to Seoul.
Stay safe!
That sounds so nice! I’d love to have a lot of space like that 😍
2:03 Your sketch is so detailed and so beautifully drawn! You have been such an inspiration for me in terms of expressing myself through art. I feel really excited to simply draw and paint without being critical of my own creations and having no expectations but rather enjoying the process. Thank you!
idk why but everytime you uploaded your weekend vlog all I can think about is "omg which cafe she's gonna show us now?!" 😂 also, been studying for college entrance exam for weeks now and everytime I have a 5 minute break, I came to your channel and pick a video. thank you for another virtual escape ❤️
Heheh and best of luck with your exam omg!!
@@caricakes thank you!!!
Hi cari! I just wanted to say that brought up an interesting point about the greenery in cities. We've touched upon it during my geography lessons: the amount of greenery often has to do with in what time period the city was built. Because in cities that where build when they had someone of noble living in it (those from the middle ages / renaissance/ dynasties) often have not only a protective feature, like a city wall, but also places for leisure, like parks. Because people of status valued those things, as it was a luxury to have free time and to spend it outside doing nothing while in the shade. Even if those parks used to be owned by nobility they're now public spaces and owned by the government. You can see that cities build during industrial development and revolutions tend to have less greenery and often ones that have only been placed "recently". Because during those times people barely had any free time and no one in the city valued nature to the point they would invest money and time into creating a public space for it. Ofcourse in modern times even the cities build during industrial times try to put greenery into place, because we now know how good nature is for us.
my list of cafes to visit in seoul keeps getting longer each video i watch ❣️❣️
But same 😂🤧
had a rough, sad-ish evening and i completely forgot that you were supposed to upload
was a pleasant surprise that lifted my mood thanks
Hope tomorrow is much better!!
same! youtube is the only outside life most of us are experiencing right now
a vlog including cafes, palaces, books, and so many sweet moments? yes please! like these bring me so much joy 🤍🌸📖
Kurt looking at the dog with all the love possible: yes, that's the sign you choosed the perfect human being to have by your side!❤️
Why does all the food in Korea look so delicious? 😍 and yes I’m amazed at the greenery in Seoul too! I told my mum about it and she was surprised too. I bet sometimes you forget you live in the city😊
The Six of Crows duology is the best! Still can’t get over all that happened in Crooked Kingdom...
Always 😭🤧
i live in a big city in france and it clearly isn't as green as seoul but we have this super nice national park, with a lake, a lot of plants, trees, a huge greenhouse... it really feels like being out of the city for a few hours i always enjoy spending time there
Ohhh sounds lovely!!
@@caricakes it really is! it's super relaxing
I love your vlogs! Especially given that the majority of people can’t travel right now 😢 It definitely makes me smile to see your little explorations. Can’t wait to travel again.
You’ll be out and about soon😭🙏
I really want to move to South Korea! I am only 13 though and I am in San Elijo California so it probably wont be in a long time but I love watching these videos to learn about this beautiful country!
You can use that time to study Korean! 🥰
@@caricakes 감사합니다
Yea same! I'm 13 as well and my dream is to pursue my dreams in South Korea and live there. Stay safe! Hope from NZ 💜
The coloring book (art as therapy!) is a great idea. I would suggest a serial: "A Taste of Seoul" (so you can include sights, cafes, foods, etc., anything that you visit/taste and love), but it would be much, much better than penny dreadfuls! ;)
Where I live all, non essential business are closed so it's interesting to me seeing coffee shops open in korea and that people actually go outing for leisure during this time.
Maybe it's because you're staying in Seoul for quite some time,or maybe it's because you've visited other places a couple of times already,but I really appreciate how whenever you do go to certain places,it's never crowded.It's like the universe meant for it to happen and I'm so happy it did because it makes it even more magical
Yay! More Cari! How are you doing? Also I wanted to say, I absolutely love watching you go around places. It makes me feel less hopeless and like we will never leave our homes again. Here in America it's pretty rough so seeing you go around is a breath of fresh air! Thank you for your videos!
We’re all going to get through this!!
i got goosebumps when you were walking around the secret garden, it’s so pretty! And as you were waving at the camera I waved back 😂 I really like your videos, they are always really calming and they make me kinda happy, I really appreciate that
I grew up in Yellowknife, NWT Canada, so it definitely isn't as green as Seoul, at least not for as long. Springs are usually stormy and grey, but summers with night-long sunsets and the northern lights in the winter, I can't really complain!
Absolutely loving your vlogs, as always. 🌸💕
The most adorable thing in this vlog is Cari regretting that she didn't make a wish, when she blew the puffball. 🌸✨
Oh and of course Kurt being blown away by the corgi and "so handsome".
I miss Seoul so much ,in the past three years i almost spent three month in Seoul each year, especially during the spring to summer time . Love the scenery of the blossom and also the variety of cafes , there so many places combine with modern and clam, also if you go there I also recommend you to visit the museum and the Art exhibit in Seoul. Seoul is the city with full of culture and modernization. I wish I could go back there soon .
I live in Strasbourg, France and even though there are a lot of parks it would neverrr be as green as Seoul! I went to the guided tour of the palace during august and I felt like I was in a mountain :O
You know I've watched you for along time. I remember the basement apt. Lol I look forward to these videos because I feel like I'm walking with you visiting all the cafes, book stores, museums etc. SD is great you know, so I get best of both worlds with your videos. Everyone stay happy, healthy, and safe. Blessed be
🥰
Thank you so much Cari!!! I was supposed to be flying out to Seoul yesterday, so I would have been there today living my best life ;( but this video is helping me see Korea again without actually going, thank you
Totally laughed out loud when you realized you forgot to make a wish 😂 But maybe that means that right now you are so content or happy with your life that you didn't need to ❤️
Personally I love watching your videos 'cause it gives me a bit of a sense of normalcy, you show us such beautiful places and a lot of greenery/nature/trees/flowers which is one of the things I miss the most about going out and honestly my heart feels warm by the end 😊
Hahahha thats a great way of looking at it!
I am Korean and leaving in Melbourne, Australia. It's been 15years leaving in oversea.
Your video really makes me wanna go back to Korea.😭
Thank you for the beautiful video!!😍
as someone who loves korea and only regularly watches 2 youtubers based in korea, watching this makes me feel happy as it’s one of the few mediums to access korea in a more engaging manner 🥰 kinda bumped that my summer school this year got cancelled so watching such vids kinda does lift my spirits, love ur vids as usual!
I think its okay for you to go visit cafes and stuff as long as you take safety measures. I don't think it's wrong with going out at all (except travelling to places), we all need a break from being stuck in our houses anyways. Love your videos btw! ♡
🙏🙏🙏
Hi! Just wanted to say that your videos make my day. Normally I am always on the go. I don’t like to not be out doing things. Seeing you go out and have fun (while still being careful) is so refreshing. It’s like it teleports me and I’m there with you. Which is much more fun then the reality of me laying in bed doing homework. Have a fantastic day! Stay healthy!!
Im always so impressed how you manage to normally live in Korea ♡ For me it was hard because I was anxious of speaking Korean but to see you walk around the same streets I did, visit the same places I visited and do the normal things I did when I was there for 2 months calms my mind. You're such an inspiration 💛 love from Germany
I feel like you’re a really humble, sincere and beautiful person and that’s why I like watching you’re videos whatever the theme is. Love people like you! Thank you, sending love from Finland🇫🇮
I feel so nostalgic I’ve been to Korea three times on holiday and seeing the secret garden makes me reminisce on such fun times in my life. Hoping that we can get to have fun times again soon. Stay safe cari ! Love the videos as always
I feel a sense of comfort in seeing you do daily things. I also see you being as cautious as possible. I miss visiting cafes in Korea. And the music in your videos just creates this sense of wonder and child like curiosity. That's keeping my hope alive. I also feel that videos like this offer an idea of how we will slowly adjust to being in public spaces. I say this because S Korea was hit really hard by the rona before most places. So it has, in many ways, shown how to move through it. Thank you for this. Seeing you with the dandelion was also just a nice reminder of child like joy ✌️
Watching the back log of Cari vids was such a good choice! I originally found her through her book channel during the pandemic. Cant believe im seeing the signs of the book channel being born❤
Your perspectives shown through the videos are super satiating to my soul thirsty for greens and refreshing air outside. I'm in a personal situation where I can't leave my house except for maybe two hours early in the morning. Used to be someone who loves walking around paths untaken and vintage shop hopping, I'm struggling to stay calm and equable. Your videos are very soothing and quenching for my thirst for exploration. So thank you.
I absolutely love your channel! ❤️ Thank you so much!!!
You have such a wonderful talent. The cinematography is amazing!!
I found you a couple of weeks ago and I am so grateful. It’s helping me get through this lockdown (in England, week 5 or maybe 57 of confinement, I don’t know now) Working from home is crazy busy and when I need a break I turn on a video to heal my heart a little before getting back to the grind.
I love seeing you go out and about, enjoying coffee and cake, wandering around - it’s such a joy to see. I’m living vicariously through you!
Going through your channel watching past videos, touring different places, so wonderful! Whether you are out and about or talking from home, I love them all!!
I have such a long list of things I now want to see and do and also it gives me confidence to go alone.
My Korean is very basic and studying as much as I can, my next class (at a language school) was supposed to begin last week but is deferred until September so I have to try to keep with it by myself - motivation 💪 I can do it!
Thank you again ❤️❤️❤️
That was also my favourite palace when I visited a year ago - breathtaking! We actually just walked in - didn´t notice we would have to enter with a guided tour. I guess we got lucky! Bonus kitty makes it even more beautiful!
My favourite type of video :) drawing, talking about books, studying, cafes and nature. The nature part fills me with happiness because I miss nature so much right now.
Thank you for inspiring me every day Cari !
I still can't put my finger on what it is about your video that is calming, is it your music choices, the simple things that you observe, the happiness energy you have or your smile (behind the mask). So, thank you!
Hahaha thank YOU!
I have come to love iced coffee thanks to your vids :) wandering around that secret garden by yourself was such a precious moment.. I was with a group before and haven't really got to enjoy and take in it's beauty.. now with the lockdown and local city officers around town, I would just go up to our rooftop and take photos and videos of the blue and purple skies, lush trees, birds and sunsets! grateful for the simple things in front of me.. know that your videos encourage me a lot to be more intentional and appreciative. You're amazing!
Being still in lockdown here in Milan these videos of you going around the Seoul are literally like a breath of fresh air. Plus the music never disappoints.
We're still quarantined here in Mexico City (and it seems we're going to be like this for a while still), so watching your vlogs and being able to explore places with you is thoroughly enjoyable! It also makes me realize there's a lot of stuff you can do while at home, such as reading, painting, drawing, studying or learning new stuff, trying out new recipes, and I think I'll definitely start to do those more often. It's always nice to get the notification when a new video is up and be able to distract myself for at leats 15 to 20 minutes, so thank you!
I live in Portland, Oregon. Yes, our city is this green. But, it’s a much smaller city. Thank you, for sharing. ❤️
I appreciate a lot the fact that you addressed the feelings of your viewers! At first, I wasn't planning to watch these videos cause I've been in lockdown for two months now and I went out only 4 times to go the pharmacy and I feel like a lost spring, my favourite season. I'm just like you, I love going to places to find my favourite plants and flowers, I wait for this moment all year. But you know what? You do things with such kindness that I watched every single one of these videos cause I felt like I was doing these walks with you and I still got my little piece of springs even in full lockdown, so thanks :)
Hi Cari! I don't know if you'll be reading comments around this time but I've actually been binge watching all your South Korea travel vlogs and they've been a huge help with my anxiety~
You're are LITERALLY the only youtuber I've been watching noawadays and I hope you know how much your vlogs have helped me out ><
Stay safe and love you~
Honestly you had me at books, my inner bookworm was HYPED
Hahahha the books I’m reading now are bringing me PAIN 😂😭
even though i live in seoul and i could technically go out and about too... watching videos like this make me feel smth, it's hard to explain, it feels cute, warm and homelike. i use your videos as inspiration for my own style of editing! 😊
I live in florida and now the trees and flowers are starting to liven up! Currently most parks and state parks are closed so I cant really enjoy nature to the fullest, but where I live there are enough trees to enjoy it enough. Seeing you out and about is really relaxing 😊
Cari~ your daily life is aesthetic as ever. I am living in Seoul by the way but I really like watching how chill you are going about your day in this crazy city. When I think of Seoul, I see crowded sidewalks, busy people living with their fast-paced life, but when I see your videos, I honestly feel peace and somehow makes me realize I should look more on the brighter side. Haha please continue making these kind of contents~ Love you!
Cari I mentioned this on my Insta story, please don't be self-concious about these vlogs, you explained the situation in Korea, so the regulars here know it and we enjoy coming along with you! There's no fomo for me. Actually thanks to my allergies I can't enjoy spring like this anyway (I wish I could enjoy it more, but I usually stay inside), so it's really awesome how much it feels as though I'm there with you! And the vlogs are soooo relaxing to watch!
That café sketch was so pretty and the aesthetic of you stirring your drink in that last café, it's those little things that bring me joy.
Plus the Changdeokgung footage reminded me so much of places I've been to in China when I studied abroad there for a year! I got struck by memory so suddenly and intensely, it almost felt like homesickness (I'm European so it doesn't make sense, maybe call it travel sickness?)
I looooooove watching the videos of your outings! Whenever I'm starting to feel a little stuck and down, watching one of your vlogs is the surest way that I've found to energize me! During regular life, my favourite thing to do is go to for a walk around the city and end up at a cafe and read or draw or journal... and watching you do it is the next best thing to doing it myself. You are actually preforming a valuable public service by letting us live vicariously through you right now.
I really enjoy watching your videos even though I am stuck in home. We just had our stay-at-home order extended through the end of May. It's nice to see others being able to enjoy life outside of the house. ;) Thanks so much for sharing your cafe time with us!
Whenever I listen to "Tv girls - birds don't sing" I am instantly transported to a Cari Vlog on an adventure somewhere in South Korea on a sunny day. That song makes me so happy ! Thank you for the discovery
I trust that you're being safe and your little adventures really help me feel at peace 😊 Loved all that greenery, still waiting on leaves here in New England 🥺🍃
Nothing but joy from these videos!! I would be going to coffee shops and exploring if I wasn't stuck at home so its really comforting to watch.
Six of crows is one of my favourite books ... ever. I always get super excited, when I see other people like it 😊
I live in Bosnia and Hercegovina,i live in a small city.We don't have cafes like that,people would stare id u stayed more than an hour.There are many kind people but some of them don't like seeing ''strangers'' because they are still scared by the war in 1993.We actually have a pyramid,lots and lots of beautiful greenery,forests and many more things.I hope I didn't take your time by you reading this (Bosnian is my native laungage so i excuse myself for grammar mistakes).Love youuuu
It is really suprising that Seoul has such massive and beautiful parks with abundance of greens!
Here in my city, Manila, the idea of the majority of parks are just not-so-big-scale turf with few benches and trees 😅
Can't wait until travelling outside is permissible again and I would definitely go straight to Seoul! 😆
P.S. Honestly, I'm grateful to watch your little travels in midst of this crisis since me myself couldn't do it here in my country because the ECQ rules are strict. But do always take care and keep safe~ ❤
창덕궁에 있던 치즈냥 두마리 보니까 금손이 후손들이 아닐까 하는 생각도 드네요🐱 조선시대 19대 왕인 숙종이 기르던 고양이도 금빛털을 가진 치즈냥이였대요 임금님이 엄청 예뻐하면서 식사할때도 일할때도 늘 곁에 뒀다고 하더라구요
Ive been preparing for med school entrance exams for about 2 yrs and they were supposed to be held in may 1st week but because of the whole covid situation they've been postponed and we dont have confirmed dates yet and the uncertainty is killing me?????? its getting to a lot of my friends too because all we've looked forward to is to get it over with and :( so everytime we're down we binge on your cafe vlogs and!! your videos are such a great escape and calm me down SO MUCH you have no idea they're honestly therapeutic and make us feel instantly better so thankyou so much for making these! All the love 💘
So happy seeing the Secret Garden in this vlog! I absolutely fell in love with it the first time I visited Seoul (2011) and sworn to myself that if I ever had the chance to travel again to Seoul I must visit Secret Garden every time. So far, I've been back 2 more times, always beautiful, but I'm still hoping to see it in Autumn foliage and full bloom Spring.
I'm from Brazil and I'm 45 days in quarantine. Watching your vlogs on the street gives me hope that everything will be back to normal soon ✨💕
I’m late today ahhh!! I haven’t left my home in 7 weeks and I was supposed to have spent 3 of those in Korea so your outings bring me a lot of joy ✨
Jarjargreens Gahh me too 😭 travel plans being cancelled has been so hard
I went with my family and my brother could not leave the garden. It was seriously the most beautiful garden ever.
Thank you for showing it 🤓
Love, love, love your videos...especially ones like these. Makes me miss Seoul so much. I lived there for a year (in Korea for 2), and I still miss so many things...like the abundance of cafes, and the beautiful palaces and parks. It's truly a unique city, which, in even a year, I did not have time to fully explore. So I love going on these virtual tours with you, revisiting familiar places, and visiting new places. Keep this sort of content coming!
I miss going to cafés so much and we're still far from reopening them over here. Pandemic blues.
So nice to see a bit of Spring. The snow has finally all melted here in WI. Hoping for some lovely Spring weather here too. So nice seeing Kurt too, especially with the dog. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video, Cari. You never disappoint! ❤❤
Always appreciative of the glimpses of my missed home -- a lot of which seem fancier than how I remember.
Cari, your videos don't give me FOMO. it's the opposite, actually. I love them and it makes me calm and relax to see!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us
I have been making excuses to myself that I cannot visit Korea (beyond my limit, atleast for now)
But your outing vlogs and scenery of the country making me impossible to avoid it.
It's good to watch these. Thank you so much...
your videos motivate me so much to keep strong! It has been my dream for the past 5 years to live in Seoul, and i'm in my last year of high school, i'm extremely stressed because of the whole coronavirus situation and my exams, so your videos remind me that what i'm doing is worth it!
i liked the BLACK & WHITE opening .. gave it a cinematic look 👌🏽
I am so so sooo happy you loved Six of Crows!! It is one of my great loves 🥰
And a Six of Crows video?? Yess please 🙏🙏 With your creativity? It’ll be legendary ✊😆
LOL i might have to just sit down and rant, cant promise anything more than rambling for this one 😂😂😂
cari cakes Haha _completely_ valid, those books give me all the emotions lol
When you said, "if spring is ever going to come where you guys are.." I felt that 😅 In Finland it seems the weather can't decide if we're going to have the same temperature all year round, or is it going to warm up... No one knows, I hope the latter. I'm tired of having the same weather and temperature for over half a year now, so I hope everything starts to bloom. And that it will be at least 10 degrees celsius the upcoming month, please. Enjoy the warm weather as much as you can, Cari!
Haha, the same!
I live in Saint-Petersburg, we have now the same weather as in February. We have a joke : today not 29april , today is a 88 Fabruary (28feb+31 march+29 apr);))))))
A year ago I was there in Seoul and visited the secret garden and Ikseondong for the first time. It was a wonderful spring! I'm so nostalgic now... Thanks for sharing. Lots of love from San Diego!!! :)
Cari, you describe perfectly what you feel when you speak korean, because i feel the same with english and I didn’t had the words to describe it. Thanks again I hope you can feel comfortable speaking one day. I loved this video I really did✨✨
The videos serve as some very charming escapism. I spent three years in Korea, one in Seoul. I often find myself getting pangs of regret having left and though Seoul is dramatically different than in 2009 when I moved there, accompanying you on some of these strolls is very comforting. I am an editor and dabble in some rather terrible writing here and there and Seoul has been creeping in to my writing a lot of late and when memory isn't serving me well, it is a joy to be transported there. Also, bloody marvellous soundtracks/music beds!
loved the garden. london has loads of green space woven throughout the city. summer time comes and the parks are filled with bbqs and picnics 💖
I'm from London and I think I remember reading that they're trying to make it a national park city, so it's 45% green at the moment including private gardens and they're trying to bump it up. Theres a green belt which means you can walk most of the way around the edge of the centre without leaving a park, and then there's Richmond park with deer in and sheep in Hyde park so I always think it's surprisingly green compared with other cities.
This was so beautiful. Last time I was in Seoul I only visited the shopping areas. But as an Oregonian I started massively craving green after a few weeks. Ever since following you, I now have a growing list of peaceful beautiful places to visit and cute sweet little cafes! 💛
I always look forward to watching your new vlogs, especially now! Sydney's in lockdown so there's no-one walking outside their home aside from grabbing the essentials. Restaurants, pubs and shops are all closed or some do takeaway, so I am loving the teleportation to Seoul and the beautiful cafes and places you can visit 💖
the first cafe was so pretty omg! and i can't believe just how breathtaking the palaces are in korea 😻 they're the top places i wanna visit when i go to korea one day. also it's so nice that seoul is so green! reminds me of my city haha here in hamburg we have lotssss of parks and greenery as well! i think it's the most green city in germany? maybe europe? at least it was that sometime in the past, but idk if it still is. but could be bc everywhere u go there's at least 1 park within a few mins walking distance
Omg sounds like my kind of city 😍😍😍
@@caricakes you should definitely come visit some day! we have 2 huge parks in the middle of the city and 1 of them kinda reminds me of the palace you showed in this vid bc it's very green and has a japanese garden as well as a rose garden! and a greenhouse too with all these pretty exotic plants like palm trees and cacti
The secret garden is so stunning! I couldn't stop imaging how it looks during the autumn season 😍 i loved your drawing in the cafe. I think the owner would be very happy to see your work~
I love your videos, especially right now. It’s true that it feels like a little get away and I’m being taken places that I can’t go, even if it’s local. And I super support going to local places because smaller businesses are really struggling all over and as long as people are smart and safe and wear their masks, then going out for a bit to buy a coffee is perfect contentttt 🧡
when vacation by florist came on i literally teared up... i cannot say this enough, LOVE your music choice
I love seeing you going out and about, doing simple things and still finding beauty all around! For me it's only positive feeling, and a highlight of my day every time you post. ^^ I especially loved the palace! And with so few people it looked even more magical.
Cari, even though we are experiencing autumn *a very sunny and beautiful one* in the southern hemisphere, I really liked that you gave us the experience of being outside in a dreamy spring weekend in Seoul and I'm thankful for that 🌟💫😍 love your videos!
Please continue doing vlogs!!! I have been looking forward to your new videos and even watching old ones because you have such a calming presence and it's honestly really hopeful to see that things can eventually return to normal :)
Wow. That illustration of the cafe was really good. Each society is different and has different social restrictions. Just do what is best for you and what is right in your society. Love the outing vlogs!
ive never been so happy to see a vlog!!
Thank you always!
To me, your vlogs and videos in general, no matter the type, are always enjoyable, aesthetically pleasing and calming. And great music too. And inspiring! It's a never ending list of positive adjectives haha. You shouldn't feel bad or self-conscious, especially because I'm sure you still put a lot of effort in them! You're just too much of a perfectionist haha.
In any case, I love it when you draw. I couldn't draw anything myself even if my life depended on it, but seeing you, I think I'll give it a try. How you are able to simplify what you see enough to draw the lines, though, beats me 😌
I bumped into one of your videos recently and im loving it! Seoul is an amazing city, i couldnt explore all the places even tho i lived there for 5 years, so its satisfying to see all these cute cafes n parks. Keep going^^
Its really enjoying to watch and very calming to watch something other than my back yard. Thank you for your video. I love them
Yes please keep doing these! I'm in Ottawa so everything is pretty shut down but we go for walks every day. Your videos inspire me to look for perfect nature spots around and make me look forward to cafe drawing! xx
If I'm being complety honest, about 2 week ago I coudn't watch some of your vlogs. Seeing you go outside (even with the mask) gave me so much anxiety.
But this past weeks I've accepted my country's situation (Uruguay) .. It's been about a month and a half that I'm staying at home as much as possible (I go to the supermarket once every 15 days or so and that's it) and to me.. watching you go outside and going to cafes and enjoying the sunshine gives me hope that one day in the future (months maybe? idk), we'll be able to do the same.
your wholesome content is appreciated in times like these ❣️❣️
