Where to Eat in Spain's Food Capital: San Sebastián 🥘 Los Mejores Pintxos
I visited San Sebastián in May 2023 when I studied abroad in Spain. San Sebastián has the most Michelin-starred restaurants per capita in the world, but you can easily find amazing food on a budget too! I think that San Sebastián had the best (and most affordable) tapas in Spain. Be sure to try the pulpo, fish, scallops, carrillera de ternera (beef cheek), risotto, and Basque cheesecake.
Our favorite restaurant was La Cuchara!

Solo Female Traveler in Morocco: Chefchaouen (Blue City) and Tangier 🇲🇦
Просмотров 1662 месяца назад
I spent 3 days across Chefchaouen and Tangier in late April 2023. I loved the blue aesthetic in Chefchaouen and would definitely recommend visiting, whereas you could probably skip Tangier. As a solo female, I didn't feel very comfortable in Morocco but was fine. I tried not to draw too much attention to myself and dressed conservatively, but I still got unwanted attention sometimes (including ...
24 Hours in Granada 🍃 Ranking Cities in Andalucía

We visited Granada in May 2023 and loved the beautiful nature and great tapas! Be sure to book your tickets to the Alhambra at least 2 weeks in advance, especially if you're visiting during a busy season. I highly recommend grabbing tapas at La Riviera. It was one of my favorite tapas experiences in Spain. 0:00 - Intro 0:10 - Heladeria Los Italianos 0:31 - Catedral de Granada 0:37 - Basílica de...
Córdoba in 2 Days 🪻 MUST-VISIT FIESTA DE LOS PATIOS, Alcázar, Mezquita-Catedral
Просмотров 766 месяцев назад
I solo traveled to Córdoba in May 2023 for the Fiesta de los Patios, and it was one of my favorite memories abroad! The festival was an amazing cultural experience; I loved seeing how proud the families were to show their beautiful patios to the public. Although Córdoba tends to be less visited compared to other major Spanish cities, I think that it's underrated and has incredible, affordable f...
2-Day Sevilla Itinerary w/ Tips & Recs 🌹Solo Edition
Просмотров 1808 месяцев назад
Sevilla was the most beautiful city that I visited in Spain. There are a ton of things to do, and the Alcazar was the top highlight for me. You can book a "free" tour of Sevilla, but be sure to bring cash for tips! As a solo traveler, I felt pretty stressed though because Sevilla was already quite touristy in May and seemed better suited for groups. For example, a lot of the tapas were served i...
Eat (and Drink!) with Me for a Week in Madrid | Favorite Spots as an Exchange Student
Просмотров 28110 месяцев назад
I studied in Madrid as an exchange student at Carlos III University in Spring 2023. I ate out quite frequently because I was paying low rent and wanted to maximize my cultural experience, but I also cooked a few times a week. Mediterranean food is excellent in Madrid, whereas I couldn't find many good Asian restaurants. For drinks, I'd highly recommend tinto de verano, vermouth, and wines (only...
A Week in My Life as an Exchange Student in Madrid 🇪🇸 Things to Do & Food Recs!

I was an exchange student at Carlos III University of Madrid in Spring 2023. I chose a 50/50 split for my courses taught in English and Spanish since I already studied Spanish at UCLA. I was super busy and stressed when I filmed this because finals were coming up, and all of my courses were transferring back to UCLA for a grade. However, I still had a vibrant social life and had a lot of fun! I...
4 Days in Barcelona 🍷💃 Tapas, Vermouth, Dancing, Markets, Beach
Просмотров 13410 месяцев назад
We spent 4 days in Barcelona and wish that we had more! The city's nature is diverse, ranging from the ocean, the mountains, and countless parks. Barcelona is great for a relaxing vacation, but it is quite touristy and expensive in some areas. We didn't go into La Sagrada Familia because the entrance fee was really expensive, but we regretted it later when our friends told us that it was incred...
Flying to Germany to Reunite with My Study Abroad Besties 🇰🇷 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 Heidelberg & Mannheim

I met my German friends during my Fall 2022 exchange program at Korea University, and we all lived in the same dorm. I started my Spring 2023 exchange program in Spain while they returned to Germany, so I decided to visit them before I returned to the US. They showed me around Heidelberg and Mannheim! I didn't expect to be able to see them again so soon, and it was very meaningful to spend time...
3-Day Itinerary for Munich | The BEST Beer, River Surfing (Eisbachwelle), English Garden 🍺
Просмотров 10411 месяцев назад
I loved Munich's rich history and traditions, incredible beer, and beautiful nature. In particular, my favorite memory was watching river surfing (Eiswachwelle) in the English Garden-such a unique culture. The nightlife is also really fun, as there are plenty of great pubs and clubs within walking distance. While Munich is safe, I wouldn't recommend it for solo traveling because there is a big ...
How I Spent 4 Days Alone in Berlin | Making Friends, Historic Landmarks, Sachsenhausen, Thrifting
Просмотров 12011 месяцев назад
Berlin is a fantastic destination for solo travelers who love history. There are so many different neighborhoods and things to do. People were super friendly, and it was easy to navigate public transportation. I went on a "free" city tour, but the concept behind it is that you choose how much to pay the tour guide. Be sure to bring cash! Excluding a day trip to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp,...
Crazy Experience & Tips for Las Fallas: Must-Visit Festival Before You Die! 🔥 Valencia en Fuego
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Las Fallas was the craziest festival that I attended during my year abroad. I stood only ~30 meters away from the fireworks going off and could feel sparks falling on me during the cremàs. So lucky that the festival is legal in Spain because I don't think that it could happen in the US. It's important to stay on top of logistics during the festival because special events occur at certain times,...
Alone for 12H in Doha, Qatar: Itinerary w/ Camels, Dune Bashing, Inland Sea, Souq Waqif
Просмотров 14711 месяцев назад
I had a 12-hour layover in Doha, Qatar and decided to explore the city by myself! I hadn't done much research beforehand and didn't have any particular attractions that I really wanted to see, so I just booked a desert safari tour right after getting off my plane. However, the bookings process was pretty chaotic because all of the same-day group tours were full, so I ended up paying a bit more ...
1-Week Solo Itinerary & Tips for Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Ayutthaya

I highly recommend Thailand for solo traveling; there's so many things to do, and I didn't feel lonely in the bustling, chaotic environment. People were very friendly to me, and I generally felt safe as a female. Like any urban city, it's important to use common sense and keep an eye on your belongings! I spent 3 days in Bangkok, 1 day in Ayutthaya, and 2 days in Chiang Mai. I visited almost al...

I decided to return to Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Ha Long Bay and had an amazing time! I previously visited these cities before with my family but wanted to re-experience them as an adult and connect with my roots.

Apple Interns Visit the Headquarters ~ Infinite Loop 🍏 Park Spaceship
Hey thank u for the walkthrough! It really helped me understand the UCLA enrollment system 😊 I have a few questions about the enrollment process, it would be sooo helpful if u could answer these questions for me🙏 Do you have to press every single button of each classes when the pass time starts? Also, am I supposed to click the pencil icon of the discussion session to enroll the class? (I saw you click the bottom pencil icon, which was the one for the discussion session, but not the main? class) Lastly, is the enrollment really intense enough that I should set a server clock to click the “enroll” as soon as possible? I was never able to find any of these precise information on the school website or anywhere 😢,, I am going as an exchange student from Korea this fall, and it is really difficult to get a grasp of all the new system of UCLA. Once again, thank you for your video :)
Thanks for watching! You should enroll in each class as soon as your time slot begins since the process can be very competitive. For classes that require a discussion section, you have to enroll in both the main class and the discussion section.
Love from India
Enjoyed- insaane ~sleep well~=))
give me your metabolism Cara, please
Hey awesome swag! Terrific video!! Great channel! Cheers from Vancouver! :-)
bag look cool
hey! wow it was useful) for me
Nice)))
Is this video not recorded in December/January ?
I visited Sevilla in the first week of May 2023. I had a massive backlog of travel videos to edit on top of work and just got to Sevilla!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love uu i wish one day go there❤❤❤
The janitor in the elevator surprising you guys was the best part lol
cute and funny lol
hiii! it's a good and informative video. but could you give me an information of how we contact or how we booking the crimson house?
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, Crimson House ended up shutting down :(
my name is jonathan and the intro scared the shit out of me
Cara, when on the rooftop is the yellow sky smog or a dust storm? Where I live a yellow sky indicates an impending tornado.
How to apply apple
Informative and fun
First like and comment for my fav youtuber 😊.
Why sooo short video 😱
very nice ❤❤
Please eat mukbang seafood next

all i see you do is eating
Hello Do you get Saturday Sunday weekends off ?? What about permanent employee??
she looks just like the computer nerds i hung out with in highschool.
Hello, I'm an exchange student in Korea and I'll go to Seoul and stay there for a month after this exchange. Could you give me the information about this goshiwon and the address, the price
You should have made a list with where you ate each thing 😭
❤✨
It was me saying tracy was cool!
AHAHA mystery solved
I'm planning at some point of my university going to an Apple Internship as a Software Engineer (or as a developer, as long as I help develop macOS I'm good), probably even get a full time job there for a few years after graduating, and before making my own company. With that introduction, I'm really excited because of how good it seems so far from other people who had an internship too. I have a few questions from this video: 1. Do you have to attend the offices? And if so, is it at the donut or the Infinite Loop? 2. Do they give you a Mac if you don't have one? 3. How long does it last?
You can get a one-room apartment with its own bath/kitchenette/laundry in the same area for 300,000 KRW if you have the 5,000,000 KRW as the deposit money. I suppose the deposit money is the issue for most.
Most people don’t have that kind of money.
?????usuallly its 10,000,000 KRW in deposit and 700,000-800,000 per month and over 800,000 for newly built apartments. A one-room unit with 300,000 KRW / month in Seoul, especially in the places where universities are clustered, is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Also you need to pay a management bill called gwanlibi (관리비) and a utility bill monthly.
@asdfgqqq1573 you can get 5 million/ 300 thousands on high hill places.
I really enjoy your videos, keep it up :)
Aw thank you, Alberto! That’s very sweet of you.
she was like opening presents from Santa under the Christmas Tree
Great story telling and appealing fun facts about daily life in Taiwan. Very well done 👍
Thank you!
315$ for each month?
Yes!
@@caranguyenHow much is the deposit?
how wonderful!
Did you use iphone to film this ?
Yes, I used my iPhone 12 Pro!
Where is laptop?
I really want to stay in a goshiwon for my planned trip to Seoul.
Me too :)
Can i ask what language you coded in? Trying to apply for Apple by the end of the summer and would be nice to get a head start on the process lol
Probably Swift. Since it's the language they're developing.
Nice video! Thanks a lot for the great insights into Crimson. Do you know something about the other goshiwons, as a comparison? :)
My friend stayed at another goshiwon on Anam-ro (main street bordering Korea University), and I think it was located between GS25 and CU. I don't have any details on the pricing, but she mentioned that they didn't have a big communal area or social culture like Crimson House.
Does anyone know whether it would be possible for a 17 year old to stay at a goshiwon? Because I'll do a language program in seoul for a few weeks and want to live in a goshiwon during that time but I am not sure if there is an age requirement
Some can be pretty particular about being under 18, but I've heard of some 17-year-olds getting rooms. You'd just have to look around.
Yum I'm jealous!
UCLA was very hard. If I could do it all over, I would go to a Cal state or another easy school. I loved the friendships I made and the dorm life but classes killed me and it was the first time in my life I failed a class despite studying my ass off.
What was your major?
You look so happy and it makes me so happy <3 I wish you all the love and happiness there. On a side note, what is the thing that you will always remember working as an Intern at Apple? I am reading a lot about Steve Jobs and I really love Apple ❤
Actually I'm looking for something like that Can you give the goshiwon location or phone number to communicate with them please i hope that i can find a room available
Yes, the name of the goshiwon is Crimson House. Here is their website: crimsonhouse.com/rooms.html. Their email is crimsonhouse7712@gmail.com.
@@caranguyenthank you! I would feel safer booking. I really like to live in goshiwon
Where did you find this place??
I was in a Discord group with other students from my school system studying at Korea University for Fall 2022, and a girl posted about it.
Why not Dormitory. I think it's more spacy and also there is bathroom inside???
I applied for a dorm, but the spots ran out. However, the dorms at KU are on a massive hill, and my friends mentioned that they had to walk up for a long time and felt discouraged to go out sometimes. On the other hand, my goshiwon was conveniently located right across the street from KU, so I only had to walk <5 minutes to reach campus. There's definitely pros and cons to each!
