Apartment priority #1: Have a large open space of wall perfect for putting up pictures (kindly printed out by Kurt) for long plot recaps 😂 But congratulations to you both, hope the new place becomes a home you love 💖
Congratulations 🥂 I had those exact feeling over my family home being sold but also my last move I was in a house were my daughter grew up from 6-16 where we got both our cats where we stood on our own two feet and I made it work as a solo parent. Then we moved here with my partner and bought this house leaving the old one was very hard. It’s just bricks and mortar they say, the memories come with you but it’s still hard knowing it’s still there but it’s not mine anymore 😢
“I hope it knows that it was loved” I felt that. Every time we move or get a new car, I always cry for the old house, the old car. I tell it how much it served me and helped me grow, and I make sure it knows. How silly and sentimental 😭😭
moving when you're sentimental is the WORST- on top of the moving anxiety everything makes you cry!!! i feel so grateful for the memories of your current apartment that you've shared with all of us through your videos, so we can all remember it fondly together
i’ve watched you in this space for so long and while the home itself is beautiful, you and kurt filling in the space has what has made it feel so special and why i’ve loved it. congratulations on your new place! i look forward to watching you turn it into something we can watch you enjoy and fill with the things you love ☺️
Cari, congrats! it feels surreal seeing you & Kurt make big life changes together! I still rmr you in your tiny basement apt showing us your kitchen set up and how you spent summers on the rooftop of your current apt showing us life through your eyes. (i actually rmr commenting for the first time when yall checked out this apt omgg) Even if life distracted me for a few months, I always came back to your channel just to see what you are up to🥹 wishing you the best on the new move
Cari! Your moves have been crazy life changes, college, across the country, getting married! Of course moves feel huge to you. As someone who seems to have a habit of moving almost every year, it's totally normal to feel like you are making a mistake and wanting to stay where you are, but you wouldn't have chosen this apartment if it wasn't a good move for you both
I just moved a month ago. I'm in the Suwon area. Got a great corner officetel for 100만원 deposit and monthly rent is 70만원. It is a relatively new building and a 5 minute walk to the subway station. I have an actual patio that is outside that I can put planters, have a little grill, etc!!!! I hope I will be living here for several years to come.
As a fellow only child and someone who lived in one house growing up and never moved till i was in college - I 1000% understand and relate to how you're feeling about moving house. I think its due to the fact that not experiencing that much change with home environments allowed me to be more attached to space/home and very sentimental. At least for me! I literally have a walk through video and photos of every apt I've ever lived in after moving out. Just in case I want reminiscence haha
Moving in Korea sounds crazy! A 300k deposit is SO scary, I could BUY my apartment 5 times over with that much money. Really happy everything turned out well for you guys though!! 🥹Really looking forward to all the new kitchen endeavors ✨✨
omg! congrats to you both! as bittersweet as it is, i'm so excited for this new chapter for the both of you! sending you guys lots of love from a tiny little town in new england! :)
Yay congrats! It's going to be weird having a new backdrop to your videos but exciting. Your apartment really feels like a home ♡ I'm sure your new place will too
Yes!!! Even though it was small, your place really felt like a character in your videos. And you don't even do home makeovers and such. There were a few epic shots of your place in this video, too. 😍🤩 the light and the shadows!!!! So in love!!!
All of my favorite creators are literally moving right now and I love this change for you!! I’ve been watching your apartment hunting videos for years and I remember your look of disappointment and relief at the same time. Moving is such a huge decision!! This is lowkey making me cry too, I’m gonna miss this space. I can literally tell you the videos you filmed in some of these spaces (shoutout to that one area for your booktok) because of how much I rewatch your videos. Love this for you Cari 🫶🏻
My husband and I are moving too and I feel aaaaalll the things you were talking about. Mini panic attacks about the decision, disruption of routine, new normal, sentimentality of the old place. It’s like equal parts anxiety and excitement about the move with a little more anxiety most of the time. You are not alone!!
i just went to see an apartment today to buy and live in with my bf for the first time so i very much relate with the vibes and feelings of this video, i’m happy that you now feel more comfortable with the move, also i can relate a lot with the interior design bit,basically i feel this video was meant to be for me this week have a great new week Cari! thank you for always sharing a bit of you with us in the world.
@7:42 You are not alone, girl. I'm right there with you :D Moving is my single biggest anxiety; I hate the prospect of moving, packing everything up, getting the movers to move the big stuff and then moving the smaller bags of just the randomest stuff by ourselves, and then unpacking and figuring out where everything goes. The last time we moved places (2021, still in the pandemic), I had full-blown panic attacks. I hate hate hate moving!
you are definitely not alone in feeling stressed about your move! I always say that I am the worst version of myself when I'm moving 😅 I'm forever panicking about things being cluttered/unorganized in my current place, while worrying about where they'll go in the new place. I also get very sentimental about leaving! I'm so excited to see your new place, congratulations! 🎉
Congratulations! I've only moved twice in my life and have little desire to do so again. Moving gives me so much stress and anxiety. I am very sentimental and emotional, so I can relate to both your sadness and excitement. I remember when you moved into your current place and look forward to seeing you turn it into a home. Wishing you the best and hoping your move is as smooth as possible.
aw, that van morrison song is how my mom got her grandma nickname. she had a routine of calling my niece at bedtime when she was a baby and telling her a bedtime story. then she would sing this to her (because, of course, my niece has brown eyes) and as my niece started talking, she would point to the phone when she wanted to call my mom and say "lala, lala"
Omg 🥹 so happy for you!!!! ❤ based on all the videos I have ever seen, I know how this one is so important for you two, but sometimes changing is necessary, and I'm happy for you! I wish you happy times on the new apartment!!❤
omg i’ve been on the edge of my seat wondering what news you had… i’ll miss this little house so much!! but so excited to see the next chapter of your journey
Hi Cari, I don't usually leave comments but I wanted to say that I'm really excited to see the new home in your videos, it looks amazing! Wishing you a smooth moving process!
Congrats Cari!! I remember that you were living in the basement apartment when I found you on RUclips. You've come so far since then, I hope this will be an amazing new chapter for you and Kurt! I really loved your current apartment and how you filled the space but I'm sure this new place will be even better for you guys and I hope it will bring you lots of joy! I'm sending you and Kurt lots of love and hope you have an easy move💗💗💗
awh man, I've watched you for pretty much as long as you've had this apartment and it's such a full circle moment having watched you from all 3 apartments I've lived in in the meantime! good luck with settling down in your new place, hoping for more good memories in it too :>
This moving content has found me at the perfect time! I’m a college student currently working on renting my first house with my friends starting next fall and it’s terrifying and exciting all at once and I feel seen and understood by your panic 😅. I’m wishing the best for you and Kurt as you build this new space into a lovely new home.
Hi Cari 😊 Sometimes is good to make changes that literally take us from our comfort zone. Hope that everything stay ok during your move to your new home. Wishing you all the best. 🏠
OMG congratulations to you and Kurt on the new house!! It may sound weird, but I think I may have been following your channel around the same time you shifted to your current apartment, and I know I am a complete stranger and just a follower here online, but because so many of your vlogs are also home based, it feels bittersweet to me too. My extreme emotions may just be my PMS hormones acting up right now, but, I am so happy for you and looking forward for the new journey ahead!
Congratulations Cari! I also get a lot of thought loops when making a big decision and suffer a lot of insecurity during the process. I am so glad you felt that 99% release of stress when signing the papers. Now time t turn that 1% into fuel or excitement for the move! Sidebar: the cut @19:44 from the friar to the mural across the street was a interesting little visual coincidence.
This is the appartment where I found your channel, I'm going to muiss the view and the big window. That made this small appartyment feel so much bigger. Good luck with moving. You're not alone. I hate moving. everything is chaos, you have the time limit in which you have to get it done... Hope the new place feels like home soon. I can imagine that it's going so great to have a seperate living space, bedroom and office.
I like so many people am happy and excited for you and Kurt 🎉 HOWEVER I am very nervously intrigued with your entire explanation about housing prices, rental loans, and the overall won to US Dollar system. Did I understand correctly: you put a 50k US dollar DEPOSIT? And now, pricing is 300,000 US dollar deposit and rent is around 1000 US dollar? 50k and 300k are both so much for deposits! I guess that was a huge lesson for me: there are wage, pricing, and housing crises everywhere in the world.
cari i totally feel you on the creature of habit aspect!! i’m moving to a different city in July and i’m excited but a part of me burrows this feeling in my gut that makes me want to just stay where i am forever. but like the seasons, change is good :)
You are absolutely not alone. I have not been quite so lucky in finding a place that feels like home right away and so have had to so a few more moves into places that weren't "it" and were never meant to be "it" just so I wasn't houseless, BUT once I am in a place that feels like home I do not leave until I absolutely have to. When leaving the last place that felt like home I walked around hugging the walls, and thanking the house for being so kind to us and protecting us while we were there, it was maybe a little different because the owner had sold it to a development company who was going to knock it down so the goodbyes were very final and permanent. If that house could know things it would know we loved it, just like yours would know it too.
I know that moving anxiety SO much! When I moved into my current flat over 3 years ago I sat on my sofa and cried for a whole evening because I was convinced I’d made a mistake and was focusing on all the negatives. Once I gave it a chance, after a month I was so happy to have moved and happy with where I was. I now can’t wait to move into a bigger place in the future and I do feel ready but I am so grateful to my current flat for holding me and providing what I needed for the last few years ❤️
I am so excited for you!!!! AHHH ive been watching you in this little studio for years and now im like finally a new beginning! well deserve, much love to you and kurt
I totally feel the same way as you regarding moving! I get extremely overwhelmed thinking about all the items I have to pack and organize, and I also take a bit of time to feel comfortable in a new place, even if it is a place I’m excited about living in. Honestly, for me having a person who is less overwhelmed by moving is the most helpful thing. You are gonna love your new place it’s just gonna take some adjustment time! ✨
ooh the waiting period is the worsttt i also recently moved (by recent its been almost a year wow time flys) and the worst part was waiting the weeks out until it would be over ans you can move in. The new apartment looks amazing and more space is always a win !! wishing safe and easy moving for yall !
thank you!! luckily the movers are giving us boxes and they wont deliver them until closer to the move or else my house would absolutely be packed a month early hahhaa
Moving is so stressful. I moved around a ton when I was younger but it was always stressful. It’s even more so once you’re really settled somewhere. You’re definitely not alone!
i got a little worried when i saw your story about an unexpected announcement but glad to know its not something to worry about and happy that youre getting to move to a bigger apartment 🎉
I am so happy for you Cari and Kurt. I feel like I am also a part of your moving. Got attached already to your current apt. Wow the power of familiarity and attachments 🩵🥲😌
Moving is ALWAYS stressful - all the packing and unpacking (ugh) and getting to know a new neighborhood. Also when you have lived in a place, no matter if its a palace or a one room, it's the memories you are leaving behind that makes it so hard. So don't beat yourself up, it's a natural grieving process especially when you have become attached to a place. Give yourself permission to go through the emotions. Hey, even for homes which one has not lived in all the time but which one has very fond memories - it's heart wrenching to give it up. We recently sold an AirBnB place which was inherited from a dear family member so all those memories of visiting with him that made saying good-bye to the place extremely hard.
Your new home looks beautiful! The light! I am so happy for you and Kurt! Change is always a little bit stressful. Moving is stressful but you will have so much fun making your new space your own. You will be able to get a book shelf that will fit all your books and more!
omg i’ve been watching you ever since 2019, so when u moved out of the lil basement house so this is so bittersweet for me as well ❤ i know your super anxious but once you’re in your new space with tons of new lil corners to fill with books and all your cozy things . you’ll forget your old worries, best of luck with your move!
Wow! The end of an era! I started following you after watching the moving videos. Living in Korea used to be my dream; now that doesn't even cross my mind anymore, but I'm still here watching your content! Good luck on this new journey, and thanks for taking us with you!
Www so happy for you. I remember the last time you were thinking of moving and you said you were staying there. Your home sounded like a comfy blanket, so warm and inviting. But what an amazing new start and I am sure you will make lots of new memories❤️🇬🇧
Hi Cari, I totally relate with you. Tree years ago we moved with my husband from Paris to Nantes in France. We had to leave an apartment in Paris that was not only gorgeous but the one where we started our story after tree years being in a distance relationship. We lived in that apartment for 12 years and so it was really sad to leave it, it was like I was leaving a piece of my life behind me. But then we moved and we stayed 2 years in a apartment before finding the perfect house. Even if the apartment was a renting as soon as I moved there, find new friends and make new souvenirs I felt HOME. And I realized as my husband is with me I feel home everywhere and all we lived together move with us. So I hope you soon feel this sensation on being home again. Lots of love! 💛
Happy to hear that you're not dealing with (too much) stress about the house anymore :)) Even though my experience is different than yours, as a 23 year old whose lived in 8 appartements across 3 countries and about to move to the next one (😅😂) I still totally understand the overwhelming feeling of leaving a place behind. I like to think we leave little pieces of ourselves in those homes and just hope they are enjoyed by the next renters :)) I wish you a smooth move and hope you'll be very happy at your new place! ❤
definitely bittersweet!! The end of an era :') I remember so many peaceful clips of your apartment, whether sunny, snowy, or rainy the view was always so gorgeous. She will be missed. But I hope you enjoy the process of making this next place your home
I’m totally with you on the moving anxiety. Even though you know you’re moving to something objectively better, it’s always difficult to leave a space where you have settled and have so many memories. ❤
7:40 I feel with you...I'm also moving right now and I hate the process, I'm stressed and anxious. I think I'll be happier when all is done and I'm just living there. Hang in there!! Congratulations !
Ooohhhh…..congratulations🥳 The new place will definitely be wonderful💕 So happy for you. I also moved last year in August to a really quiet place without any noisy neighbours and it made my life soooo much better☺️
Bittersweet indeed, i’ve been a fan of you since 2020, a new era for you and kurt sooooo happy for you guys…. I’m starting my new job this april and this gave me motivation to work to also have this kind of transition in life…thank you as always cari for your comforting videos and wish you to have a blessed moving day soon❤️
Me and my partner also used to live in a studio, about 400 sq. feet. We both really loved it and still think about it often, even though we definitely like having separate rooms for bedroom / office now. I hate moving because you have to get used to so much change so fast. I hope you have an easy move :) excited to see the new place.
I’m a drifter so I’ve lived virtually in your apartment longer than any of my own😆Feelin the bittersweetness right along with you, but also looking forward to spending RUclips time with you in your new space!🤗
Huge congrats on the new apartment! It's gonna be wild to see a totally new backdrop in your videos. I completely sympathize with your panicking about the move. Every time I've moved, even though I've known deep down that it's the right decision, I've felt absolutely frazzled and panicked in the lead-up to moving day. Also moving sucks! Like, getting a new place is fun, but the actual act of moving? It sucks! So I'm sending good vibes as you go through the packing and actual moving process. Just remember, one day soon you'll be settled into the new place and learning how to love it just as much as you loved your old place. :)
I remember your basement apartment and I was so happy when you got your place with the wall of windows. I can’t wait to see your new apartment come together.
Omg I’m so excited!! We have been teased with potential new places for so long I’m happy it’s finally happening!! Can’t wait to see how yall style your new place!
I felt the same way when I moved with my husband from our first apartment to a house! I was so worried about having enough storage, I bought all the storage organizers, but it all worked out! Good luck with the move and congrats! :)
Man, I never thought I would be so sad about someone else moving 😭 I haven’t been watching you for that long but I’ve always loved your apartment. I hope the move isn’t too stressful on y’all ❤️
we moved somewhere infinitely more quiet (albeit older) and it was such a positive change on that mark alone. we even got more space. happy moving to y'all! moving is tons of stress but lots of fun. you got this.
I'm also in the process of moving and omg nobody tells how stressful it can be. I feel you! I am normally a very calm person but since starting planning for the move, it's like I overthink everything and don't get me started on sleeping properly. At least it will only last a few more weeks. Sending you lots of positive energy during this time of transition and how exciting it is we are all staring new chapters of our lives 💚
I feel you 100% with the moving anxiety!!! We moved about 10 months ago now and I remember feeling a sense of dread in case we ended up worse off in the new place 😂
Yay congrats. Wishing you all the best as you prepare to move. I am not moving but your decluttering your junk drawer has me motivated to do the same! I will be spring cleaning with you in solidarity 😊
I completely understand you feeling anxious about moving Cari!! I'm moving literally next week and I've been so so anxious about the whole thing, knowing my life is going to be looking different - I've felt so silly because I'm only moving like an hour away and I'll be closer to my family, but still ! change can be hard ! it's not silly of us to be creatures of habit and we'll feel at home again in no time
Hi Cari! I so understand the emotions around moving when you live in a place you love... But i am so happy for you and Kurt that you will have a new and bigger oasis where you will make it cozy and all your own with your books,art,furniture,it will be lovely!!!💖☕🫖🥧🍵🕯📓🖋📷💻🎮🍣🍜🫂💞Sending the both of you the warmest of hugs
Oh no 😢 I was so excited to hear you would be moving, but OMG I totally share all your concerns!!!! People actually say "moving" is like having burned down once!!! (They say that where I come from). In terms of how much it disrupts your life and how much it is chaos, but also because you need to find furniture that fits the new space and even if you sell the old furniture.. this can take forever. Same with burning down you will have insurance money, but you have no stuff. I totally get your anxiety and your current place is SOOOO amazing!!!!! It is so cute and so lovely, the light, the view, the floor to ceiling windows, the advanced creative mess, which constitutes your filming background is epic... the mirror, the lamp, the plant, the beautiful desk, the books the candles, the drawings- Oh how I have studied it.😂❤❤❤ The only thing I wouldn't put there is the guitar. I play the piano. Please dont adapt to Kurt's style. 😅 noooo no black leather couch 😅
my autistic ass has a really hard time with change, especially in routine, so i completely get you! congrats on the new home, here's to new beginnings this beautiful spring 🌸
Exciting times. The fact you are online planning yr future home tends to support that your headspace is ready to move. You will not believe how much better it is for you to have the ability to transition between rooms/spaces, especially when u work from home. Although i also still look back with fond memories to my studio apartment life…rooms are good. More wall-space for art, more space for books, pets etc
Congratulations to you and Kurt on the new place. And, no you are not the only one who gets stressed and anxious at the thought of moving. I was like you in college, moving from dorms or apartments. In adult life I have only moved twice (where we actually bought a home rather than rent) and the idea of moving again (even though we probably will at some point) is stressful. We have been here for a long time and moving would have its perks but a lot of negatives too. I feel your anxiety and empathize with you!
Apartment priority #1: Have a large open space of wall perfect for putting up pictures (kindly printed out by Kurt) for long plot recaps 😂 But congratulations to you both, hope the new place becomes a home you love 💖
oh you best believe i was thinking about that when we toured places hahhha
Congratulations 🥂 I had those exact feeling over my family home being sold but also my last move I was in a house were my daughter grew up from 6-16 where we got both our cats where we stood on our own two feet and I made it work as a solo parent. Then we moved here with my partner and bought this house leaving the old one was very hard. It’s just bricks and mortar they say, the memories come with you but it’s still hard knowing it’s still there but it’s not mine anymore 😢
“I hope it knows that it was loved” I felt that. Every time we move or get a new car, I always cry for the old house, the old car. I tell it how much it served me and helped me grow, and I make sure it knows. How silly and sentimental 😭😭
why am i lovin everyone moving this spring we love new chapters!!!
i feel like all the people i know moved at the same time so we're stuck forever moving in the same season for life haahhaa
moving when you're sentimental is the WORST- on top of the moving anxiety everything makes you cry!!! i feel so grateful for the memories of your current apartment that you've shared with all of us through your videos, so we can all remember it fondly together
wahhh thank you so much :'''''') definitely going to cry a bit on moving day ahhaha
i’ve watched you in this space for so long and while the home itself is beautiful, you and kurt filling in the space has what has made it feel so special and why i’ve loved it. congratulations on your new place! i look forward to watching you turn it into something we can watch you enjoy and fill with the things you love ☺️
thank you so much :''''')
Cari, congrats! it feels surreal seeing you & Kurt make big life changes together! I still rmr you in your tiny basement apt showing us your kitchen set up and how you spent summers on the rooftop of your current apt showing us life through your eyes. (i actually rmr commenting for the first time when yall checked out this apt omgg) Even if life distracted me for a few months, I always came back to your channel just to see what you are up to🥹 wishing you the best on the new move
thank you so much! and ugh yeah we've come a long way since that little basement hahaha
Yes loved the rooftop!!!!
Cari! Your moves have been crazy life changes, college, across the country, getting married! Of course moves feel huge to you. As someone who seems to have a habit of moving almost every year, it's totally normal to feel like you are making a mistake and wanting to stay where you are, but you wouldn't have chosen this apartment if it wasn't a good move for you both
thank you :'''''''')
I just moved a month ago. I'm in the Suwon area. Got a great corner officetel for 100만원 deposit and monthly rent is 70만원. It is a relatively new building and a 5 minute walk to the subway station. I have an actual patio that is outside that I can put planters, have a little grill, etc!!!! I hope I will be living here for several years to come.
Yeah our rent for this place was 85만원 and then we switched to jeonse! Glad you found a nice spot!!
As a fellow only child and someone who lived in one house growing up and never moved till i was in college - I 1000% understand and relate to how you're feeling about moving house. I think its due to the fact that not experiencing that much change with home environments allowed me to be more attached to space/home and very sentimental. At least for me!

Moving in Korea sounds crazy! A 300k deposit is SO scary, I could BUY my apartment 5 times over with that much money. Really happy everything turned out well for you guys though!! 🥹Really looking forward to all the new kitchen endeavors ✨✨
Seriously, 300k could buy a house in some places, and at least then you'd have equity and not have to pay rent in top of it
For 300k you could buy my whole village in Eastern Europe 😵💫
Is 300k USD or Korean Won?? Because if it's USD that's wild lmao
@@Alex-dj9qj usd :')
But like do you get the interest on the 300k deposit at the end? I guess not😮
As long as you bring Declan with you, I’m super happy for you and your move!! Congrats on finding a new place to fill with love!! 🫶🫶
LOL oh best believe he's coming too!!! thank you!
I love the light beechwood-y wood tones and the light in your current flat, but I'm excited to see your new kitchen!
same!! but the floors in the new house are a nice light shade that is really calming so i think you'll like the new place too!!
omg! congrats to you both! as bittersweet as it is, i'm so excited for this new chapter for the both of you! sending you guys lots of love from a tiny little town in new england! :)
thank you so much 💖💖💖
"I saw a corgi this morning, truly a blessing"
The ultimate mood
So exited for you guys 😍 LOVE that kitchen space!
thank you!!! finally a few more inches of counterspace ahhah
Yay congrats! It's going to be weird having a new backdrop to your videos but exciting. Your apartment really feels like a home ♡ I'm sure your new place will too
thank you! yeah it will just take a little time but we're very excited to make it home!!
Yes!!! Even though it was small, your place really felt like a character in your videos. And you don't even do home makeovers and such.
There were a few epic shots of your place in this video, too. 😍🤩 the light and the shadows!!!! So in love!!!
Yay! Congrats Cari and Kurt!
thank you!!!
All of my favorite creators are literally moving right now and I love this change for you!! I’ve been watching your apartment hunting videos for years and I remember your look of disappointment and relief at the same time. Moving is such a huge decision!!

thank you so much! and omg yeah finding a new booktube filming corner is going to be so bittersweet :'''''')
My husband and I are moving too and I feel aaaaalll the things you were talking about. Mini panic attacks about the decision, disruption of routine, new normal, sentimentality of the old place. It’s like equal parts anxiety and excitement about the move with a little more anxiety most of the time. You are not alone!!
i just went to see an apartment today to buy and live in with my bf for the first time so i very much relate with the vibes and feelings of this video, i’m happy that you now feel more comfortable with the move, also i can relate a lot with the interior design bit,basically i feel this video was meant to be for me this week
have a great new week Cari! thank you for always sharing a bit of you with us in the world.
@7:42 You are not alone, girl.

aw, that van morrison song is how my mom got her grandma nickname. she had a routine of calling my niece at bedtime when she was a baby and telling her a bedtime story. then she would sing this to her (because, of course, my niece has brown eyes) and as my niece started talking, she would point to the phone when she wanted to call my mom and say "lala, lala"

omg i’ve been on the edge of my seat wondering what news you had… i’ll miss this little house so much!! but so excited to see the next chapter of your journey
i'll miss it too but so thankful for the memories :')
Hi Cari, I don't usually leave comments but I wanted to say that I'm really excited to see the new home in your videos, it looks amazing! Wishing you a smooth moving process!

caring only about the lighting and windows is soooo true, and i’m gonna miss the cafés too!! but i’m super excited for you guys, congrats!
I think anxiety/worry that comes with moving is almost always about change. Change can be so incredibly hard but just trust the process
This moving content has found me at the perfect time! I’m a college student currently working on renting my first house with my friends starting next fall and it’s terrifying and exciting all at once and I feel seen and understood by your panic 😅. I’m wishing the best for you and Kurt as you build this new space into a lovely new home.
Hi Cari 😊
Sometimes is good to make changes that literally take us from our comfort zone.
Hope that everything stay ok during your move to your new home.
Wishing you all the best. 🏠
thank you 💖
OMG congratulations to you and Kurt on the new house!! It may sound weird, but I think I may have been following your channel around the same time you shifted to your current apartment, and I know I am a complete stranger and just a follower here online, but because so many of your vlogs are also home based, it feels bittersweet to me too.
My extreme emotions may just be my PMS hormones acting up right now, but, I am so happy for you and looking forward for the new journey ahead!
Congratulations Cari! I also get a lot of thought loops when making a big decision and suffer a lot of insecurity during the process. I am so glad you felt that 99% release of stress when signing the papers. Now time t turn that 1% into fuel or excitement for the move!
Sidebar:
the cut @19:44 from the friar to the mural across the street was a interesting little visual coincidence.
This is the appartment where I found your channel, I'm going to muiss the view and the big window. That made this small appartyment feel so much bigger. Good luck with moving. You're not alone. I hate moving. everything is chaos, you have the time limit in which you have to get it done... Hope the new place feels like home soon. I can imagine that it's going so great to have a seperate living space, bedroom and office.
Congrats to both of you guys and sending you guys much love in your next chapter! Would love to see you with a podcast! Loving your video as always ❤
thank you so much! and maybe someday haha
YAAAS so happy for you guys ❤
I like so many people am happy and excited for you and Kurt 🎉 HOWEVER I am very nervously intrigued with your entire explanation about housing prices, rental loans, and the overall won to US Dollar system.
Did I understand correctly: you put a 50k US dollar DEPOSIT? And now, pricing is 300,000 US dollar deposit and rent is around 1000 US dollar? 50k and 300k are both so much for deposits!
I guess that was a huge lesson for me: there are wage, pricing, and housing crises everywhere in the world.
cari i totally feel you on the creature of habit aspect!! i’m moving to a different city in July and i’m excited but a part of me burrows this feeling in my gut that makes me want to just stay where i am forever. but like the seasons, change is good :)
Moving is definitely one of the most stressful things in life so you’re not alone. I used to move a lot but now I’m very happy to stay in one place.
You are absolutely not alone. I have not been quite so lucky in finding a place that feels like home right away and so have had to so a few more moves into places that weren't "it" and were never meant to be "it" just so I wasn't houseless, BUT once I am in a place that feels like home I do not leave until I absolutely have to.
When leaving the last place that felt like home I walked around hugging the walls, and thanking the house for being so kind to us and protecting us while we were there, it was maybe a little different because the owner had sold it to a development company who was going to knock it down so the goodbyes were very final and permanent. If that house could know things it would know we loved it, just like yours would know it too.
So happy for you, the appartment looks so nice! Sending you lot`s of strength for the move ! ❤❤
I know that moving anxiety SO much! When I moved into my current flat over 3 years ago I sat on my sofa and cried for a whole evening because I was convinced I’d made a mistake and was focusing on all the negatives. Once I gave it a chance, after a month I was so happy to have moved and happy with where I was. I now can’t wait to move into a bigger place in the future and I do feel ready but I am so grateful to my current flat for holding me and providing what I needed for the last few years ❤️
Wish you all the best &happiness in your new place 🔥💞 surely it’s gonna be an exquisite video
thank you so much!
I am so excited for you!!!! AHHH ive been watching you in this little studio for years and now im like finally a new beginning! well deserve, much love to you and kurt
I totally feel the same way as you regarding moving! I get extremely overwhelmed thinking about all the items I have to pack and organize, and I also take a bit of time to feel comfortable in a new place, even if it is a place I’m excited about living in. Honestly, for me having a person who is less overwhelmed by moving is the most helpful thing. You are gonna love your new place it’s just gonna take some adjustment time! ✨
ooh the waiting period is the worsttt i also recently moved (by recent its been almost a year wow time flys) and the worst part was waiting the weeks out until it would be over ans you can move in. The new apartment looks amazing and more space is always a win !! wishing safe and easy moving for yall !
thank you!! luckily the movers are giving us boxes and they wont deliver them until closer to the move or else my house would absolutely be packed a month early hahhaa
Moving is so stressful. I moved around a ton when I was younger but it was always stressful. It’s even more so once you’re really settled somewhere. You’re definitely not alone!
!!! I knew it! So excited for you to have an office and lighting and room for activities!🎉 end of an era, but cheers to many a new journey ahead💕✨
i got a little worried when i saw your story about an unexpected announcement but glad to know its not something to worry about and happy that youre getting to move to a bigger apartment 🎉
I am so happy for you Cari and Kurt. I feel like I am also a part of your moving. Got attached already to your current apt. Wow the power of familiarity and attachments 🩵🥲😌
Congratulations! Cari🎉 I’m so happy for you!
Moving is ALWAYS stressful - all the packing and unpacking (ugh) and getting to know a new neighborhood. Also when you have lived in a place, no matter if its a palace or a one room, it's the memories you are leaving behind that makes it so hard. So don't beat yourself up, it's a natural grieving process especially when you have become attached to a place. Give yourself permission to go through the emotions. Hey, even for homes which one has not lived in all the time but which one has very fond memories - it's heart wrenching to give it up. We recently sold an AirBnB place which was inherited from a dear family member so all those memories of visiting with him that made saying good-bye to the place extremely hard.
Your new home looks beautiful! The light! I am so happy for you and Kurt! Change is always a little bit stressful. Moving is stressful but you will have so much fun making your new space your own. You will be able to get a book shelf that will fit all your books and more!
thank you always!! and yes i am SO looking forward to future bookshelves hehehe
New chapter and have to love moving in 🌸 SPRING 🌸
the next level of spring cleaning hhahaa
I totally know the feeling. I've only lived in three different homes after my childhood home. But in the end, the home is where you and Kurt are. 💖
Congrats Cari🥂 You survived from the apartment tour by yourself hehe. Already excited to see your video in a new place!
thank you!! and kurt actually surprised me and came with because we felt so sure about this place so i never had to do it alone thank god hahha
So excited for your move! I can't wait to see how you fill out the space to make it home. Congratulations to you both!
thank you so much :''')
Happy and grateful you share the process of moving in Korea! 😊
omg i’ve been watching you ever since 2019, so when u moved out of the lil basement house so this is so bittersweet for me as well ❤ i know your super anxious but once you’re in your new space with tons of new lil corners to fill with books and all your cozy things . you’ll forget your old worries, best of luck with your move!
Wow! The end of an era! I started following you after watching the moving videos. Living in Korea used to be my dream; now that doesn't even cross my mind anymore, but I'm still here watching your content! Good luck on this new journey, and thanks for taking us with you!
Www so happy for you. I remember the last time you were thinking of moving and you said you were staying there. Your home sounded like a comfy blanket, so warm and inviting. But what an amazing new start and I am sure you will make lots of new memories❤️🇬🇧
Hi Cari, I totally relate with you. Tree years ago we moved with my husband from Paris to Nantes in France. We had to leave an apartment in Paris that was not only gorgeous but the one where we started our story after tree years being in a distance relationship. We lived in that apartment for 12 years and so it was really sad to leave it, it was like I was leaving a piece of my life behind me. But then we moved and we stayed 2 years in a apartment before finding the perfect house. Even if the apartment was a renting as soon as I moved there, find new friends and make new souvenirs I felt HOME. And I realized as my husband is with me I feel home everywhere and all we lived together move with us. So I hope you soon feel this sensation on being home again. Lots of love! 💛
Happy to hear that you're not dealing with (too much) stress about the house anymore :))
Even though my experience is different than yours, as a 23 year old whose lived in 8 appartements across 3 countries and about to move to the next one (😅😂) I still totally understand the overwhelming feeling of leaving a place behind. I like to think we leave little pieces of ourselves in those homes and just hope they are enjoyed by the next renters :)) I wish you a smooth move and hope you'll be very happy at your new place! ❤
definitely bittersweet!! The end of an era :') I remember so many peaceful clips of your apartment, whether sunny, snowy, or rainy the view was always so gorgeous. She will be missed. But I hope you enjoy the process of making this next place your home
I’m totally with you on the moving anxiety. Even though you know you’re moving to something objectively better, it’s always difficult to leave a space where you have settled and have so many memories. ❤
I love how you're so authentic and aesthetic at the same time. good luck with the rest of the move!
7:40 I feel with you...I'm also moving right now and I hate the process, I'm stressed and anxious. I think I'll be happier when all is done and I'm just living there. Hang in there!! Congratulations !
Best of luck on your move 🤍🤍🤍
Ooohhhh…..congratulations🥳 The new place will definitely be wonderful💕 So happy for you. I also moved last year in August to a really quiet place without any noisy neighbours and it made my life soooo much better☺️
i feel like my neighborhood is getting intentionally louder now that we signed the contract in order to make me feel better with the decision hahahah
I'm so excited for you! This combines my love for the channel with my love for web surfing real estate just for fun 😄
Bittersweet indeed, i’ve been a fan of you since 2020, a new era for you and kurt sooooo happy for you guys…. I’m starting my new job this april and this gave me motivation to work to also have this kind of transition in life…thank you as always cari for your comforting videos and wish you to have a blessed moving day soon❤️
You are such a comfort person for me on RUclips! So excited for you and Kurt ! ❤️
Me and my partner also used to live in a studio, about 400 sq. feet. We both really loved it and still think about it often, even though we definitely like having separate rooms for bedroom / office now. I hate moving because you have to get used to so much change so fast. I hope you have an easy move :) excited to see the new place.
I’m a drifter so I’ve lived virtually in your apartment longer than any of my own😆Feelin the bittersweetness right along with you, but also looking forward to spending RUclips time with you in your new space!🤗
Huge congrats on the new apartment! It's gonna be wild to see a totally new backdrop in your videos. I completely sympathize with your panicking about the move. Every time I've moved, even though I've known deep down that it's the right decision, I've felt absolutely frazzled and panicked in the lead-up to moving day. Also moving sucks! Like, getting a new place is fun, but the actual act of moving? It sucks! So I'm sending good vibes as you go through the packing and actual moving process. Just remember, one day soon you'll be settled into the new place and learning how to love it just as much as you loved your old place. :)
I remember your basement apartment and I was so happy when you got your place with the wall of windows. I can’t wait to see your new apartment come together.
Your new place is stunning! So spacious and bright. Congratulations! 🖤
so excited for it! thank you!
Omg I’m so excited!! We have been teased with potential new places for so long I’m happy it’s finally happening!! Can’t wait to see how yall style your new place!
I felt the same way when I moved with my husband from our first apartment to a house! I was so worried about having enough storage, I bought all the storage organizers, but it all worked out! Good luck with the move and congrats! :)
Man, I never thought I would be so sad about someone else moving 😭 I haven’t been watching you for that long but I’ve always loved your apartment. I hope the move isn’t too stressful on y’all ❤️
we moved somewhere infinitely more quiet (albeit older) and it was such a positive change on that mark alone. we even got more space. happy moving to y'all! moving is tons of stress but lots of fun. you got this.
I'm also in the process of moving and omg nobody tells how stressful it can be. I feel you! I am normally a very calm person but since starting planning for the move, it's like I overthink everything and don't get me started on sleeping properly. At least it will only last a few more weeks. Sending you lots of positive energy during this time of transition and how exciting it is we are all staring new chapters of our lives 💚
7:13 I feel you on the moving anxiety, I don't have to move until June and I'm already getting a little nervous
I feel you 100% with the moving anxiety!!! We moved about 10 months ago now and I remember feeling a sense of dread in case we ended up worse off in the new place 😂
Oh I've always had big anxiety around moving, you're absolutely not alone. It'll be great once you get settled in :)
ugh thank you!! everyone i know is always happy to move and i just cling to my space :'')
Yay congrats. Wishing you all the best as you prepare to move. I am not moving but your decluttering your junk drawer has me motivated to do the same! I will be spring cleaning with you in solidarity 😊
thank you and omg yes good luck! it feels so good after but the 'during' phase is rough hahahah
I completely understand you feeling anxious about moving Cari!! I'm moving literally next week and I've been so so anxious about the whole thing, knowing my life is going to be looking different - I've felt so silly because I'm only moving like an hour away and I'll be closer to my family, but still ! change can be hard ! it's not silly of us to be creatures of habit and we'll feel at home again in no time
Congratulations on the new apartment.
that deposit amount is insane omg?? here in switzerland 3x the monthly rent is the legal maximum for a deposit
Yesss so excited for your new journey!
Really going to miss this house but wishing you and Kurt the best for this new adventure!!
OMG! This is exciting. I'm looking forward to you and Kurt decorating your new place.
Hi Cari! I so understand the emotions around moving when you live in a place you love... But i am so happy for you and Kurt that you will have a new and bigger oasis where you will make it cozy and all your own with your books,art,furniture,it will be lovely!!!💖☕🫖🥧🍵🕯📓🖋📷💻🎮🍣🍜🫂💞Sending the both of you the warmest of hugs
Oh no 😢 I was so excited to hear you would be moving, but OMG I totally share all your concerns!!!! People actually say "moving" is like having burned down once!!! (They say that where I come from).
In terms of how much it disrupts your life and how much it is chaos, but also because you need to find furniture that fits the new space and even if you sell the old furniture.. this can take forever. Same with burning down you will have insurance money, but you have no stuff.
I totally get your anxiety and your current place is SOOOO amazing!!!!! It is so cute and so lovely, the light, the view, the floor to ceiling windows, the advanced creative mess, which constitutes your filming background is epic... the mirror, the lamp, the plant, the beautiful desk, the books the candles, the drawings- Oh how I have studied it.😂❤❤❤
The only thing I wouldn't put there is the guitar. I play the piano.
Please dont adapt to Kurt's style. 😅 noooo no black leather couch 😅
my autistic ass has a really hard time with change, especially in routine, so i completely get you! congrats on the new home, here's to new beginnings this beautiful spring 🌸
Exciting times. The fact you are online planning yr future home tends to support that your headspace is ready to move. You will not believe how much better it is for you to have the ability to transition between rooms/spaces, especially when u work from home. Although i also still look back with fond memories to my studio apartment life…rooms are good. More wall-space for art, more space for books, pets etc
Congratulations to you and Kurt on the new place. And, no you are not the only one who gets stressed and anxious at the thought of moving. I was like you in college, moving from dorms or apartments. In adult life I have only moved twice (where we actually bought a home rather than rent) and the idea of moving again (even though we probably will at some point) is stressful. We have been here for a long time and moving would have its perks but a lot of negatives too. I feel your anxiety and empathize with you!
