USA VLOG 🇺🇸 total eclipse, spring on the east coast, kurt meets a corgi lol, san diego trip
The solar eclipse was WOW....and seeing the Northern lights from the plane DOUBLE WOW!!
The sky was working overtime that week!
I love how Louie is the protagonist of this vlog🥹💗 the eclipse was so cool!!!
He’s always the main character 🥹
Hey I was the subscriber who talked to you in line in the airport at JFK and I wanna say how amazing both you and Kurt were! Both of you are very kind and easy to talk to and I tell everyone about how amazing it was to meet you. Glad you had a good trip and happy to see you back in Seoul I miss it already!
Omg hope you had a good flight home 🤍🌸🫶 thanks for saying hi!!
man that solar eclipse footage made me cry like a baby- there's just something so special and human about people gathering to see things like that 💞 Also I am such a big supporter of appreciating your local trees. The magnolia blooms in Boston were some of my favorite parts of living there, and now I pause under every blossoming tree I see here in Scotland. The world has so many wonderful things when we have the time to see them!!
Yesss! The magnolias were incredible this year 🥹🥹🥹
Forget the eclipse... Louie!!! And Kurt jumping off a rock!!!
the cuteness! the stunts!
the Eclipse scene made me feel emotional, esp when the sun came back out, i really appreciate when ppl make an effort for keeping traditions and special moments. i always love your vlogs when you go back home, good luck with the moving!
Me too! So glad i‘m not alone 😅
Yup. I love living in America. People here are extremely friendly. ie. My husband and I stand in line, when we have light conversations, people around us do eavesdrop, for all you know, they join in the conversation too and I like that. It’s very wholesome. I moved here to Michigan from Singapore 6 years ago. And the Midwest has certainly rubbed in on me. It’s call the Midwest nice!
Burn and raised in the Midwest and it’s underrated! ♥️
Love how this video is just Kurt having all the dog time in the world. My boyfriend is always the one talking to strangers while I'm like "oh my goddd please don't talk to me 🫣"
Lol kurt is literally the homer simpson fading into the hedge meme when i start talking to strangers hahhah
My husband told me he wanted to see the Eclipse, so we made it happen. We had never seen a total one before, it was the coolest thing I have ever seen!! It was a crazy amount of driving but definitely worth it! We went to Burlington VT and saw it over the lake, so beautiful! It's so great you were able to see it with your family
Omg we were so close to each other hahahh glad you got to see it too!!
Despite our country being an absolute mess and a half, your US vlogs always bring out a more innocent and cheerful side of the country. And I think that is art, and very much appreciated ❤ P.S. I love the obligatory Target and In n Out run, absolute musts on a visit to the states just for posterity sake 😂
Your intros are always *✨chefs kiss✨
all thanks to my forest neighbors :)
Thank you Cari, it is the first tie I see someone documented so well how an solar eclipse happens. Many thanks !
🙏🙏🙏
what a lovely vlog!! so jealous that u got to see the northern lights. also….louie is still just the cutest little guy ever
I still cant believe we saw them!!
I really appreciate all the Louie content in this vlog. We said goodbye to our dog of over 16 years on Friday. Today was my first day having lunch alone in our home. I’m missing the sound of his feet on the floor as he paced around the dining table and the way he always decided he simply must go outside the moment my food was ready. It’s a big transition to being without his company, but getting to spend my lunch with Louie (and an equally adorable Finn) made it a bit easier. My family and I also saw totality for the first time and it was so amazing. We left early to drive a couple of hours down to a winery and spent a few hours hanging out drinking sangria , playing uno and eating our picnic before the eclipse began. It was an all together a perfect day.
wow 16 years! he must have received a lot of love :'''') so sorry for your loss but so happy you got so many years with a good boy - and your eclipse experience sounds amazing!
LOUIE CONTENT!! Hahaha I always look forward to seeing him when you’re back in the states 😂❤ Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
Best dog 😭😭😭
Cari!!! I’m an Encinitas native who has also moved far away from home, this video was like a huge warm hug!!!! I miss the marine layer, the salty air, and hearing the seagulls 🥲 I needed this, thank you so much ❤
omg this is so out of the blue, but i just ended things with someone who wanted to move away from california, and this comment just reminded me of why i love it here and some of my favorite things. thank you❤ (i hope you get the chance to come back and visit soon!!!!)
I am back in seoul and already missing it 🥲🙏
I totally agree about finding your local beautiful blossoms to enjoy, I live in the Southeast US and spring is my favorite season because the azaleas and dogwoods are just sooooo beautiful. I sometimes get distracted driving just because I wanna look at all the pretty flowers 😭
Its azalea season here in seoul too and its stunning!
Loving how Louie is in every other clip, just oblivious but happy. Love that doggo
😂😂😂
Sadly our eclipse in Rochester NY was very cloud obscured. Still kinda cool though. Glad you and Kurt got to experience. Thanks for always being the highlight of my Saturday night! :-)
Yeah we didnt decide on where we were driving until the last second cause those clouds were EVERYWHERE 😭
The “ALieNs~” broke me 😂 loved the video as always ❤
I have nooo idea why he did that 😂😂😂
PA has beautiful seasons. Our dogwoods, magnolias, and weeping cherries never fail to amaze me every spring, and our maples/oaks/birch become stunning in the autumn.
OMG, CARI!! I could've met you in WC, and treated you to a coffee! And, yes, PA is beautiful right now 🌸. There are some really beautiful pink dogwood trees that I can't get over! I definitely don't take the seasons for granted here! So glad you enjoyed! 🫶
Next time 😂🫶💗
Check out Phxville next time too! There's a really cute covered bridge there. Byeeee!
Gosh how I miss San Diego😭 Couldn’t click the vlog fast enough. Thank you for sharing pieces of home for us. I miss that ocean!!
Same 🥲🥲🥲
Northern Lights and the eclipse what a magical trip delivered by nature x
In central Texas we have a lot of flowering trees, but esrly spring starts with the best ones: redbud (purplish pink blossoms completely coating the leafless trees) and plums (beautiful white flowers that smell amazing). Its a great end to our short winter.
Cari! I live in Indonesia didn't even experience the solar eclipse, thankyou so much for sharing the moment! and i love how people admiring the solar eclipse, it was beautiful such an experience!:)
Cari, you don't even know how much I appreciate your vlogs! I get to enjoy them on my sunday mornings, a few hours after you upload, with my morning coffee and breakfast and they always give me so much peace 😌 I wish every day would start this peacefully 🌸
😭😭 im so happy to hear that!!
I live in PA and I was just telling a family member earlier today how beautiful the trees look, especially the pink ones. Spring is one of my favorite seasons. No matter where you are in the world, I really enjoy your vlogs. Wishing you a smooth move to your new apartment!
The most perfect little escape on this rainy sunday morning 🤍
we had all that rain up here in seoul yesterday but today the air is soooo good so i hope you and cleo have outdoor plans tomorrow haha its gorgeous!
We had so few flowering trees in Denver so seeing so many here in Seattle is just breathtaking every year.
I had nooo idea seattle was so crazy until this year and now i need to see it in person!
Background music choice is like chef's kiss🤗
🥹🫶
Seeing the landscape and architecture of South Eastern PA is so nostalgic for me. My Grandma lived there and we always drove over from West PA for holidays. Next time you are in the area I recommend visiting Kennett Square. Super cute downtown with fun restaurants and shops!! And you should also visit Longwood Gardens if you haven't yet
you're so right about the trees!! I'm obsessed with the ones in my neighborhood as well (live in VA tho)
The footage of the eclipse the music choice!! the vibes! award winning quality, had to watch it twice! Thank you! 🌙🌸
Louie looks like a fennec fox♡ adorable
as a born and raised southeastern pennsylvanian, I definitely didn’t fully appreciate the beauty of our nature until I moved to nyc 🥲 so glad you got to enjoy it!! 🌸
🥹🙏🥹🙏
I think the whole east coast has amazing trees. I live in Alabama and the botanicals here are amazing.
Definitely need to explore the south more!!
Definitely agree! I'm in North Carolina and our entire city has cherry blossoms everywhere! I've actually read that parts of Japan and the Carolinas have comparable climates, which makes sense that we'd have cherry blossom season around the same time of year.
I'm from PA and I agree about the blossoms in spring here! They have been stunning this year.
They were incredible!
Been a few weeks since I've watched your vlogs because I've been bingewatching Modern Family again :') But WOW! Didn't realize I needed it that much! This one feels amazing right now in my life, thank you Cari for sharing pieces of your life and making me escape a little bit every week! Cheers 🥰
Unfortunately, in Germany we were not able to see the eclipse. but thank you to take us with you. it's such a nice vlog. In my town we have also so much cherry blossom trees and I love it so much! :)
Thanks for another great video. Love that you showed how you experienced the solar eclipse as well as your love/appreciation for trees. My wife and I were in the path of totality for the solar eclipse and it was a truly breathtaking once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget. All the best to you and Kurt.
So glad you got to see it too!!!
You drove past The Egg (performing arts center) in Albany which I used to live right around the block from! So nostalgic seeing my old home 🥲
Truly a bizarre sight 😂😂😂
I live in Oregon and we have like 5 cherry blossoms and two magnolias in our yard and it's amazing. I love seeing videos and photos of people going to Japan, Korea, etc for the blossoms but I also love that I get to enjoy my own private blossom garden. Portland also has the cherry blossoms on the waterfront but so crazy busy most of the time lol.
So cool that you saw the northern lights, they looked beautiful!
My takes on this video: -Kurt is the most wholesome human being! -Louie is the happiest dog to ever walk on earth! -Cari, you are an artist!! We are so lucky to see you experience life. 💛 This video was perfect ✨
I love the cherry blossom trees! Where I am in Sydney, my whole suburb has jacaranda trees and in spring, its a sea of purple 🥹
Jacarandas are my favorite! I grew up with a huge one next to my house 🥹
Yay Carrie you’re the best! Your vlogs give me life
So glad I watched this. It was magical and I really felt the surrealism...especially around the eclipse. All this flying gave me weird anxiety for your safety🙈. It was so interesting to see you "come home" three times in one video at opposite ends of the world❤
very lucky to have so many places to call home :')
Kurt looks so happy in usa lol, wish you guys all the happiness in your new endeavour ❤
Thank you!
Such a wholesome vlog! Kurt & the dogs, the cheering crowd for the eclipse, spring flowers, small talk ❤❤
Your hair looks beautiful Cari!!!
I noticed the gift shop that was called Little Louie… so cute
So glad you got to visit home and see the eclipse! Truly awe-inspiring to see :) But also - Louie!!!!!!!!!
Nature is awesome!! Glad you got in some quality time with your people and fur babies. Every time I move I say to myself "New Chapter or New Book?", it's how I determine if it is a reset or new adventure... Looking forward to the new place
this has got to be one of my favourite of your videos, so cozy! And I loved the solar eclipse content, it was so cool and sweet!
Loved this vlog! northern lights, eclipse, traveling coast to coast... ❤
I love your vlogs because they are so peaceful and full of America and Asia as well... I love both countries so thank you!
Girl Cari your vlogs are always comforting I just changed states so my life has been crazy you guys solar eclipse was so cool I just saw the side lol
We were in the path of totality and I usually don’t get too invested about stuff like that, but being able to go out on my back deck and experience a full eclipse gave me feels I was totally not prepared for. 😭😂 I have to say, I found your book channel because of ACOTAR and that’s how I found your channel here, but I really love your vlogs and seeing what life is like in Korea. And traveling too. ☺️ I’m a new book girlie, I have so much to read and catch up on. 🙃
Its hard not to be affected by it! I can totally understand why it was such a huge deal long ago when we didnt know what eclipses were 😂
This was the coziest, sweetest vlog!!! Loved all the Louie and Kurt content!! 😊 Thanks for bringing all of us along on your adventures! ❤️❤️ also, you’re so right about PA/NJ cherry blossom trees! I grew up in New Jersey and we had one quite similar to the ones you showed in my front yard, so seeing your footage made me quite nostalgic and a little homesick! Happy moving!!
i live abroad but was born and raised in the east coast -- was SO sad to miss the eclipse, but with a combination of my dad putting his facetime camera behind his glasses for me and and this vlog, i feel the spirit anyway. thank u
louie is the cutest little thing. 🥺 also the eclipse was so dreamy, i got a little emotional, wish i could have experienced it. but happy for you!
What a magical and beautiful trip! Wow. Your videos make me so happy and I love seeing you and Kurt, such a cute and wholesome relationship 🥰.
Yayyy new East Coast USA vlog, I’m enjoying this! ❤❤❤
🫶🫶🫶
So lovely to see you and Kurt traveling together,you two looked so relaxed and happy and qutiepie louie adorable!!! Warm hugs coming your way,and i cant wait to see your new place!!!
thanks for taking all of us with you on this trip! this was just so lovely!
what a lovely time you guys had!💖
💗💗💗
3:46 Had to investigate that curious structure. The Egg did not let me down. I dig unconventional architecture. Thanks for the rad skyline pan😊
That shot of Venus below the eclipse is so crisp, and just beautiful. I thought you might have Jupiter too at 6:20 but that light appears to be blinking! Still, wonderful footage, really enjoyed it
Ooo I so miss gray misty mornings too! The 4am sunrise in Japan is like a slap in the face 😆Thanks for the tour through my old stomping grounds!
My weekly dose of serotonin is here happy sunday Cari!!..❤
💗💗💗
We were in the path of totality and it was truly an experience to see the solar eclipse. To see the tiny ring with the bluish tint and the little red solar flare. Incredible! So glad you were able to make the trip. Seeing the Northern Lights sounds amazing! Also, Louie is just the cutest pup!
wishing you two all the best for your move, Cari! I literally just officially got done moving like two days ago and it is so incredibly exhausting but so so worth it in the end 💗
I love this video sm - the deer, the dogs, the trees, the bookstore and that eclipse! beautiful. i hope the move goes smoothly!
Thank you!!!
I felt so close yet so far while you were in San Diego. I’m north of there in Orange County and yes I love the gloomy beach mornings. ❤
I saw the eclipse from my backyard but because it was a working day I was alone so I didn't really feel too emotial about (even tho it was incredible) but seeing it through your video with the people cheering and everything just made me relive it and cry a little 🥹 truly a special moment!
omg the beginning of this video! I grew up visiting my grandparents in the town you showed and have been going to Second Reading my whole life! I didn’t expect to see that in your video 🥰 there is a barn converted to a bookstore as well called Baldwins Book Barn. You have to go! That is the most magical town
Welcome Home to Cali~ I live about 1-2 hrs away near Riverside. Thank you for sharing your travels. We saw part of the eclipse here, LOVE those events when they come. Im glad you had a good journey despite a few flight hiccups.
The apple blossoms are POPPING in PA! So gorgeous.
I always think it’s funny or I should say interesting how some cultures hate small talk or talking to strangers. There are definitely places like that in the US as well. Having lived a few places now I’ve noticed how like a whole city can have that vibe where people are definitely closed off to community and then others you literally have to make extra time during your errands because you expect to talk to everyone you encounter. I didn’t come from a community minded area, so experiencing that at first was daunting. I realised it was a me issue I had to work through. lol now I adore it and would rather live in an area where everyone smiles and talks to everyone. I agree that it’s recharging. And there are definitely interesting and incredible humans everywhere. I’m with you, keep talking! You never know who you might meet. One of my first encounters was at a cafe, a man whom I thought was homeless I chatted up for several minutes. He was so insightful and kind. I found out from a local he was a famous author and poet. You never know!
Both my parents are from San Diego originally, so I grew up always going to visit grandparents and aunts and uncles out there. Love that city!
Im SO glad you were able to.see the eclipse! I live about 3 hours south of Albany and it was soo cloudy we couldnt see anything but it got REALLY dark.
this was a really beautiful video & I LOOOVED the dogs 💕
Thanks for watching!
I saw the total eclipse outside Dallas where we had gone on the way to a cruise so it was fortuitous to say the least. Mind was completely blown, I'm totally obsessed now.
This was so cute! The solar eclipse day was my 27th birthday but we couldn't see it here in the UK! So glad you got to see it and experience it :)
Spring is my favourite season because of flowers spotting! Here in Vancouver we also have many streets of cherry blossom trees. But seeing them in Japan is still on my bucket list 😂
I can't believe you were in Kingston, NY! I grew up there, yes we are obsessed with our trees and stone houses. Glad you guys liked it
I love your prioritization of a Target visit when you’re in the US ❤
That and trader joes 😂😂
I stayed in a hotel in downtown San Diego last fall and I fell in love with the city. Its atmosphere is so relaxed, the weather is perfect, and there's so many good food options. Loved your vlog today ❤️
Same with Washington DC! Sooo many cherry blossoms it’s stunning!
I haven’t been to the US yet but your videos are always so amazing that I can’t wait to visit 😁💙
There are SO many blossoming trees in the Portland,OR/Vancouver,WA area too! I think my husband gets tired of me saying "look at that one!" over and over 😅😂
i recently saw pics of the campus of UW in spring and my jaw dropppped!
Welcome back to the east coast!!! I agree, we have some beautiful cherry blossoms here.
Thank you 🥹🥲🌸🙏
Northern lights, eclipse, flowers. Lovely trip
🥹🥹🥹
👋🏻❤🇫🇮 Beautiful vlog, happy to see you two had fun trip to usa. The northern lights are always so pretty😍.
I would love to see them in scandinavia one day!!
I agree with you about the cherry blossoms (pears as well!) in Pennsylvania! I was near Lancaster the same time you were in USA and the blossoms were everywhere, huge and amazing! I had never seen so many in bloom at once. Just glorious! ❤👋👍
It was seriously everywhere you looked!! I was floored 😍
Omg I started freaking out because you went through my totally podunk hometown! I loved the Ambrosia diner when I was a kid!! Whaaaat the hell lol
hahaah it was my first time upstate and you live in a beautiful place!
Ohhh I don’t live there anymore. It’s a totally beautiful place! Glad you finally got to visit. Downtown Kingston is fun too!
This vlog made me tear up🥹🤍
🥹🙏
Louis is so cute, I can’t get enough of him! 🥹
Same here 😭😭😭
Louie makes me so happy 🥹
he's the best!
