You beat me by 6 seconds. I don’t get the benefit of hearing from the video creator that a video is going up, so....
Wow, with that kind of selling speed it's a literal _hunt_
yeah we literally were going to see a place at noon and the guy called at 11:30 and said it sold -____-
😂 wow that so fast 😱😱
“they’re taking the plants too, damn it.” mood 🌿
😭🌱😭
YES Cari that huge window and the rooftop garden is so pretty and scenic! Also *spreadsheet making* and *rent price negotiating* are requirements for my boyfriend now lol
bahaha keep raising the bar for those boys!!! and ugh right?! so pretty!!
"we ended up making a spread sheet... yeah we're earth signs"
me, a fire sign: *screams in irresponsible*
bahahhahahhaha
nvvljdfnvñdfd EARTH SIGNS RISE!
Omg I died at the house hunters intro 😂 but its so interesting hearing about what real estate is like in Seoul! So happy you found a place you love and can’t wait to see it!! ❤️
hahaha i had to throw it in! and thank you so much!
yeesss can't wait for you to decorate the new place with the best decor :) hopefully maybe you can put plants there eheeh
im so excited!! its coming together slowly :)
It's 4.30 am here in New Delhi right now. I literally haven't slept all night, because well exams, but I swear to God this made me so happy! Lots of love!
oh gosh i hope you get some sleep soon!!! best of luck on your exams and thanks for watching hehe
So glad you found a nice place you both love, it looks great! I’m traveling to Korea next October and am so thankful for your vlogs!
thank you! we're both so happy here :)
So excited for you guys!
I loved the 4th place, wow 😍
thank you!! we did too ;)
Ugh I always look forward to my Sundays because I can have some tea and watch your videos! But I'm surprised that real estate agents frequently take people to the wrong apartment 😱
gahhh thank you!! and yeah its not super frequent but if they're in the same building sometimes they'll show you room 1 instead of room 2 :/
Very informative video! I died laughing at the House Hunters International intro and the song when showing the first bath.
Also, “You know you married the right man when he says Let’s make a spreedsheet” 🤣🤣 Yay Kurt for saying all the right things?? 🤔😊
hahahah i make lists and spreadsheets for EVERYTHING so whenever he suggests a spreadsheet im just like, 'im so blessed' hahaha
omg all the questions i had at the beginning of the video u ended up answering perfectly by the end!!! im so glad u and kurt found a place u really love, congratulations!!
phew, im glad!!! and thank you so much, we got really lucky :)
Sometimes online agency’s will use fake photos to get people to call and when you do they’ll say they don’t have that one and try to show you others. So beware when hunting for apartments always check square footage to see if it looks like it’d match.
i'm visiting seoul in summer and i was wondering if you could make like a video about what to wear in seoul's summer? Love your videos!
YESSS TO THIS^^^!
how did you know i'm working on that right now?? hahahaha
My husband also makes spreadsheets when we move and for whenever we need to budget for some life event. organized efficiency *swoon* congrats on the new digs!
we're blessed!!!!
3:11 with the bathtub made me laugh! So true. Congratulations on the new apartment! :) Enjoy settling in!
I couldn’t believe my eyes!! Hahha thank you!
Just finished my part time, and was having a panic-y moment for not being able to find a 'professional job', and that's when you popped up. Your videos are always so calming. Thank you
hope everything works out soon! thank you so much!
As a data analyst I just fell in love with you and Kurt, when you mentioned spreadsheet I immediately wondered what your reporting and presentation strategies were. Excel Nerds Unite.
😂🙌🙌🙌
I can't wait to see your own rendition on your new apt decoration!
i wish you and Kurt happy and joyful moments in your new home 😊 as always the music coice was Really great🌚
thank you so so much!!
"I'm very comfortable with my Korean, in situations where I'm comfortable in." hehehe too cute :)
Your place looks bright and gorgeous and your blouse matches the wall!

i used the roof last night to work out and omg its a dream!
Love your videos! I’ll be traveling to Korea in about a week and am excited (especially with all these coffee shops available ☕️)

I like it when you are with your boyfriend. Even though he is younger but he takes good care of you. I looked from this video, he check good apartment.
Omg I screamed when I saw the house hunters international screen!!! That was my whole childhood

Number four was lovely, particularly because of those breathtaking rooftop gardens 😍❤️
Thank you for such an informative video Cari ^^
theres even workout equipment hahaha and thank YOU!
Oh wow! That sounds like an amazing set-up ^^
And of course! Very excited for you both to share a lovely new space~ 진짜 축하합니다
Looking forward to future content with gorgeous natural light ☺️💕 hehe
Congratulations on your new apartment!
thank you so much!
With the help of a coworker I found a gorgeous apartment that I'm really happy with through Dabang. I find that outside of Seoul it's way better than Jikbang for some reason, not sure why. It just seems to have more listings and better pictures. That natural light omg I'm very jealous. It looks like you had pretty good luck with finding a place! I'm really happy for you~
omg yay!! yeah the photos in seoul where so laughably bad haha but im glad you found a place 😍😍😍
LOL your face when you realized something was in the toilet. It's crazy how fast these places sell out! Hope you got the one with the rooftop garden!
3:12 that's definitely fantasy 😂😂😂😂 no escape from reality for sure
hahahahhaha
Congrats on the new place! I'm happy for you both 😃
Thank you so much!!
Now we def need a house tour with the cazy plants!!!♡♡
yesss i cant wait! definitely want to wait until after my US trip cause i dont want to leave them alone for a month ahhaha
Congratulations on the new apartment! Im excited that the day you uploaded is on my bday hahaha
Cant wait for the apartment tour!
thank you so much and omgggg happy birthday ahhh!!!!
@@caricakes thank you!!!
금요일 저녁에 역삼동 지나가다가 봤어요.. 영상보다 실물이 예쁘시던데요 ㅎㅎ
앜ㅋㅋㅋㅋ that was me 😂🙈
I'm so happy about all the lovely changes that are happening in your life. I hope it's a place where you both could fall in love with each other even more and just be happy :D
Congrats on everything
thank you so so much!!
Omg loveeed this video. I loved how you kept it real with how you were nervous but wanted to get things done and went for it. Yesssssss. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼💕
gahhh thank you!!
I’m waiting for that apartment tour Cari 🥺🥺🥺🥺
please watch my recent vlog when i talk about that :'(
this is such a informative video & so fun to watch, congratulations on your new house!! can't wait for the apartment tour!
funny timing too, I just moved in Seoul on the 1st of May too.
I feel like house-moving in Korea is like the convenient thing ever, the day you look trough houses is the day you could possibly move in as well after signing and paying.
thank you so much, congrats on your move too! its wild how fast it all goes here hahah
Ughhhh love you so much,, congratulations on the new apartment!!!
gahhhhh thank you!! sending love your way too~
Cari I'm genuinely so so happy for you!!! Watching your videos always makes me happy!
So glad you guys managed to find a place you both love! Also I love your top it’s so cute xx
thank you!! we're so happy with it too :')
Congratulations on the move
hope the new home brings you lots of joy, happiness and success 💞🌼
thank you so much!!
I really liked the window view in house 4!
heheh me too!
i really loved this videooo
thank you so much ahhhhh!!!
me: *wants to go to bed*
also me: *sees cari uploaded* mmh let‘s watch this before going to sleep 👀
bahahah my bad!! sweet dreams~ (thanks for staying awake hehe)
cari cakes it‘s okay since it‘s the weekend hahah
Cari, love the first shirt on you! Care to share a link? Pwease?
its a thrifted dress from vin prime!
Loveeesssssssssssssssss it all. I never want to leave my apartment here but all your exploring (that i trust was..exhausting in real life) was so fun in your video it made me feel okay if i ever have to move lmaoo that it could be somewhat interesting (clearly stressful im sure but still) precious and fun. I love...your new apartment from what i can see of it. it's so. cute. I hope i can see it some day when I'm up in Seoul! and congratulations on a new place you and Kurt deserve it so so much
Yesss I’ll give you the full tour 😍😍😍
Omg the spreadsheet thing. I feel it in my bones.
amen
That rooftop garden was so beautiful! I LOVE plants and flowers, so that really caught my eye. One of my part time jobs was actually at a nursery and I've been obsessed with plants and flowers ever since. My desk at work is full of plants, haha. Congratulations on your new apartment and I look forward to seeing it once you're all settled in and have the time to decorate and make it your own space! Also, random thought... that one sink was scary dirty. Like I don't even want to know how it got that gross. Eek.
i used the roof last night to work out and i am so in love with it, i cant waaaaait to get my little house nursery up cause the light in our house is perfect for it! and yeah idk what was going on with that sink haha we did NOT pick that one hahahahah
I like that calmness of yours :) Greetings, keep up the good work!
So happy for you! Please tell me we'll get videos up on the garden? Also, house hunters intro, very cute lol
So happy for you guys about finding a place together ^_^
Apartment Hunter is probably one of the things that scares me the most for the day I finally get to move to Korea. I already don't like it here, although I love checking out new places... but yeah... thanks for sharing your experience and the apps. It just makes it somewhat less scary haha
we're so happy too! and yeah definitely try browsing the apps now so you can at least get a feel for prices in certain areas, i think that helped me a lot!!!
I'm a sucker for dark wooden details, the place I'm assuming you chose (4) looked awesome. :-) Also so nice to see you shoot in natural lighting at home! I didn't mind the lighting before but I can imagine it'll give you more creative options in shooting at home. That's one of the things I really like about Korean apartments, they value lighting so much and the huge windows and views are just so awesome.
yesssss im so happy with it too^^~
I swear the view you get from some of those apartments takes my breath away even through the phone 😂 I can't wait till I finally save enough to move there😂
right?! i love the floor to ceiling windows in these places :')
@@caricakes that'll definitely be at the top of my apartment requirements 😂
so happy for you...apartment done...what were you wearing?, that pastel top or dress is stunning.
thank you :) its a dress i thrifted that i loooove!
How fun! Jumping for you and Kurt. Now did you get the space with the garden roof area? ON the last video. Cari! THOSE TEA pots. Gahh! Gorgeous. I hope I can see you at the meetup in your Home Town. Would love to give you prezzies. Cheers and Congratulations.
OH and did you get the tub?
thank you!! and we do have a tub :')
Gya. Looks like I was not paying attention. YES you got a bathtub! Woooot! YES you got the rooftop patio! Woooot! :-)
omg deposits are that high???
Thanks for the nice video! But actually, bathtubs are NOT RARE in Korea. They're SO COMMON in normal condominiums(aka aprtment in Korea). It just depends on your budget. FYI.
"You know you married the right man when he says: let's make a spreadsheet." 💀YES! I'm not married, I don't even have a boyfriend yet BUT I'll know a future partner is "The One" if he says that (or something similar) to me at any point 😅 Anyways, omg the property with the rooftop garden was amazing! 😱 I think that's the one you went with, right? I'm not very perceptive 😅 Anyways, I'm so happy you and Kurt were able to find a place you're both happy with. Just based on where you're filming it looks amazing and I can't wait for the future tour video of It! 💖
No4 looks lovely...hope you got it !!
thank you! ;)))
that sneaky "yeah we're earth signs" Killed Me hahaha
Hi Cari! Love from Denmark! ❤️
hiiii! omg give denmark my looooove!!!
Awesome video! You look so happy and excited, and that's what matters most! Congratulations agaiiin!💕
Quick question; what are the best areas to live in Seoul?(in your opinion and experience)
thank you so much!! i personally prefer north of the river but i've lived south of the river for almost 5 years and its fine heheh i always suggest living close to line 2 because it is a circle line that can get you pretty much everywhere in the city really quickly :)
im so happy for you!!!
thank you!!!!
Do glad you popped up in my recommendations. I am living in Daegu!
Still no house tour?
omg...i stayed in an airbnb in the first building!
This was so helpful thank you!
Your place looks so nice! All that wood gives a soft and earthy feeling, I love it! Cannot wait to see an updated apartment tour :) By the way, now after the new house hunting experience, do you have any tips for short-term housing? I will be going to Korea next year for 3-6 months, it's undecided how long I'll rent, but the minimum are three months. I looked at goshiwons but they all make you feel claustrophobic. Since it's not for a super long time, I'd be willing to pay up to 800 thousand won a month as long as there's furniture and a bathroom/cooking area. Any ideas where to look?
Thank you for your wonderful video!
i've never used them but you can check out the site called "stayes" for options!!! there are a lot of "share houses" opening in seoul so maybe you can find one of those~ i wish i had more experience in that department, sorry :/
Yes Kurt with getting the price low!
when he came back with the official rent price i was floored hahaa he's a genius!!
Im korean living in Australia atm, I always think the deposit in Korea (unlike other countries) is incredibly expensive for young people.
Many of my friends who rent got supported by parents/bank loan.
I wonder how you dealt with this, Cari
I live in Stockholm and it's very difficult to find affordable places to live here as a young person. You're either stuck taking out a bank loan and paying a fortune for a tiny apartment (if you're able to get a loan...) and being in debt forever or paying a ridiculously high rent, unless you're lucky. I was lucky to find student housing at an OK price (415 usd for 23 sqm), but we have a lot of students who opt out of studying here, and students who get into school here and then have to change their plans because they can't find somewhere to live. In that sense I like the deposit system in Korea, it's a sum of money that you will be able to get back and invest somewhere else when you want to move out. It seems kind of flexible, I guess? But I also understand it still remains a big obstacle to many and honestly it makes no sense to take out a bank loan for it if you're still gonna pay rent imo. It's just real weird to me that politicians don't prioritize affordable housing more since it would solve a huge financial strain for so many people. How does it work in Australia? I imagine it gets really expensive in the large cities.
hence why i lived in a basement for 3 years haha i saved up! without the two of us combining our savings, we wouldnt have been able to look at a lot of places :/
It paid off !!...you deserve a nice place like this
The whole time I am thinking how adorable your babies are going to be!! Sorry. Lol. So excited for you both!!
ha we dont want kids but our dogs will definitely be cute!
@@caricakes I'll be looking forward to that, as well, and will be just as excited and happy for you both
House tour soon please! Congrats btw 🙂
Very happy for you!
thank you!!
i love ur music taste
haha ap exams are actually going down rn but i was sooo excited for this vid!
omggg best of luck haha remember, you still get a 1 for writing your name so at least you got that!!
Wow so cool to see all those places and excited for you to start getting plants! I just getting super obsessed/into plants a few months ago and it's great!
Also is it normal to negotiate lower rent in Seoul? I know at least where I am in the states (DMV, DC area) if you tried to negotiate lower rent they'd probably just think you can't afford it and not want to deal with you, so I haven't seen it happen much! I know buying a home you can do that but just not renting so much.
Congrats, Cari and Kurt! Looking forward to the house tour^^ In terms of safety, are most neighborhoods in Seoul generally safe?
thank you so much and omg YES seoul is so soooo safe compared to anywhere else i've been in my life hahahah
I clicked the notification so fast my phone's on fire
omg thank you hahaha apologize to your phone for me!!
왠지 어렸을 적 빨간머리 앤(일본 애니메이션 캐릭터)을 닮지 않았을까 라는 생각이 드네요...
매력적이라고 생각합니다
ㅎㅎ 넵~ 빨간머리 앤입니다~
Thanks for this video! this is super useful! I am most probably going to be living on campus for the first couple months and then move out. Hope I find a nice place like you too! I'm probably going to go for an officetel as well since I don't want to buy a lot of furniture. (I will probably need a lot of bookshelves though haha I am an academic afterall!)
for officetels you'll definitely need to purchase your own bed but there are some goshiwons that will come furnished (but they're SOOOO small!) hope you find a good spot!!
@@caricakes haha yup definitely do not want to live in a Goshiwon!
I'm curious, how cheap or expensive can a simple bed get in Korea? online I was getting a wide range of prices. but I'm guessing it'll be in the ~100k KWon range?
@@caricakes You are so right about Naver budongsan! Daum/zigbang is a lot more user friendly. (or I just need to know more Korean real estate terms haha) It is interesting to see how each website lists their 'options' and the things that the apt comes with (cctv, security guard etc).
It is easier to get a preview of the listings on Daum/Zigbang than on Naver too (unless I am missing a button to be pressed haha)
getchu a man who tells you "let's make a spreadsheet" 😂💕 "yeah we're earth signs" 😂😂 congrats on the new place, I hope you manage to decorate it nicely and feel more at home ^^ 💕
exactly hehehe and thank you so much!! we're working on it haha
Yay congrats Cari!! I'm trying to figure out just about how much I'll need to bring with me to put down...I've heard the deposit is what will get you when you move there? Can you explain that a little further pretty please?
I wanna move to Korea so bad!! this makes me want to ever more!
i'm new to your channel but i noticed you look alot like Amy Adams.... do u hear that a lot? or its just me? 🤣😍 btw you guys are so cute ㅠㅠ
Living in a few different places now and being that Seoul is reasonably dense, what is noise like? Do you usual hear neighbours through walls? Does lots of outside come through at night? I guess it differs from place to place though..
walls are definitely thin here but compared to nyc, the street noise isnt that bad! so you hear your neighbors, but not a whole lot of people or cars outside :)
What exactly is a office-tel? Is it a building that has mix residential and commercial space? If so then knowing my luck, I'll end up in a place next to a karaoke joint 😂🎤🤦♂️
I think my #1 requirement would be a dryer. I don't care if the previous tenant was murdered, I'm sure you can get a shamen for any residual "presence" 👻 but if the apartment has a dryer or has provision for one, I'm game. And I'll prefer to buy a washer and dryer myself. Not thrilled about using one that washed and dried other people's nasty draws 🤣😂😁. As long as there's provision, meaning it has all the correct fittings for one, me happy 🤗. No crusty bath towels for this guy 🤣😂.
Yeah I remember you said that dryers are extremely rare. So I guess if I were to live in Korea, my apartment hunting will be a futile endeavor. So if I tell the real estate person that I want a dryer, he or she would just laugh 🤣 And tell me to GTFO 😆 LOL.
hahaha i never even used my dryer back in america, im a hang dry girl! and an officetel is a building that technically can be used for other things (like being an office haha) but is now known for being a good option for younger people and families looking for a smaller affordable space :)
House tour yey! 🥰🥰🥰
🥰🥰🥰
