- Hi everyone! This new years I decided to get out of Seoul and explore a new place so I took the bus to Geoje Island and I'm so glad I did! It's ridiculously gorgeous and I can't wait to share it with you! This was my only full day on Geoje. Let's go to Windy Hill, Oedo Botanica, and Mongdol Pebble Beach!

This may sound weird but I love how your vlogs are full of feelings like you describe the sounds you're hearing and the taste of the food and how the sun shines and little cultural facts! This gives your vlogs a sense of warmness and closeness it makes me feel like I'm actually traveling with you! I love it!!💕
+sofiflown thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
I need the sounds of Mongdol beach's wave crashing on loop for like an hour, it sound so relaxing 😄
+Cecilepup • i know!!! Even just walking on them sounded so nice :)
For the first time in my life, I felt like serching where I am living on TH-cam, and thank you. I can definitely tell this that you see 거제 more beautiful than the way I see.
Ahhh it looks so pretty. Your reactions and stuff are so cute! I love how you just explore and kinda of get lost in it all and make the best of whatever comes your way! Thanks so much for the video!!
+Hayatesgirl4ever thank you so much omg 🙈 hope you adventure lots in korea too! This was one of my fav trips!!!
I am soo stressed rn. Just watching cari old vlogs to keep myself sane ❤ thanks for existing cari ❤
It's been such a long time since the last time I heard the sound of waves hitting the shore. I was happy in moment. Thank you for sharing the sound
thank you for joining me :)
as a Geoje citizen, your selection of attraction was spot on! glad you liked this place :D
I saw these pictures on your tumblr and I was so excited to see the video! I loved the octopus wishing me Happy new Year, that was a nice touch. Also, I don't know if I've ever mentioned but I love how your videos are a mix of scenic shots, food, and mini little stories or random events. It makes me feel like I'm really there.
StandingStill you took out my mouth what I also wanted to say about her videos! They really are amazing 👍
+StandingStill 우와 thank you ㅠㅠ i like to just show you guys around and let you take in in yourself haha i hate how other vloggers walk you through each experience like youre a baby hahahha
+Sara Nt thank you thank you 😊
How do you find these places? Looks like heaven! Definitely on my list when I'll visit Korea again
I was actually planning on going to a different beach town and somehow stumbled upon this island instead :) glad i did!!
I’m moving to Geoje City for a teaching job early next year and omg...I’m even more excited now than I was before 😍😍😍 thank you for this video!!
Hi, from Argentina! I'm regretting not having a longer stay in South korea now...your vlogs make me want to explore it all!!! I'll be arriving at the end of March...any advice will be most welcome! Thank you so very much for all this beautiful and helpful content!!!!
"He knows all about my life now." LOL! Everything is just gorgeous.
+Helena Jole the weather and bus times really worked out for me, it was a lovely trip (though i think one more day would have been great, one full day was enough to do all the main things on my list!)
I admire you for being able to travel alone. For me, who has no sense of direction, that is amazing. I'm actually planning to travel abroad alone sometime this year to challenge myself. I probably will get lost and end up dying in an alleyway but yolo!
happyprocrastinator same I would totally get lost haha
+happyprocrastinator omg no I'll make a video about it but seriously the reason i dont get lost is because i plan ahead like CRAZY hahaha i map everything out to the last detail!
happyprocrastinator hahahaha you made me laugh 😂😂😂
+happyprocrastinator
hahahahahahahhahahhaha
happyprocrastinator just throw your self out there and explore! It's scary in the beginning but you'll find that it's so much fun... possibilities are endles!! you'll get a better chance to meet new people and make grate friends! It will change your world! And getting lost sometimes reveals beauty hidden to others 😉!!! Give it a try in an environment that you feel you can solve whatever hapens...for example, go to a place where you know u can understand the language first and you can move around freely. Then tackle the more adventurous stuff.
i like you hahaha you made me laugh! the way you say things that seems to be odd is so funny! you were good in travelling alone wow!
hahaha yes solo travel is the best!
omg i think this is my favorite video from your channel!💕💕 ilysm
+Verkwan Butt Slap honestly me too hahahha
binge-watching your old videos 🥰
Koreans are very focused at the results and the end-points that we tend to overlook or by-pass the process and the whole journey. Something we need to improve on. Good thing that you found the blossoming tree.
ur vlog is the very first vlog i watch when i first came to geoje. glad that im here again and commenting. i love ur vlog. and u look beautiful..
All your vlogs have been very inspirational for my solo trip to Korea next week!definitely adding this city to my list to do
loved your video ! I'm definitely adding these stops for my next trip in Korea !
I was just there yesterday and I also went out on the duck boats at the lake. Enjoyed your video.😀
omg i wish i had had time to ride one!! thank you and hope you had fun^^~
Lovely! Those cliffs reminded me of the skelligs in Ireland 🇮🇪 and the island looks so pretty and fun!
TOTALLY! Actually the whole island was giving me Ireland vibes for some reason - especially the center where it was just farms...it reminded me of where my great grandpa lived!
I love the the things you appreciate and notice and find it just amazing that they are things I would find precious as well. That Plum tree was just gorgeous ;) Love following your adventures!
+Theo and Milan thank you for watching! I seriously dont understand why no one paid that poor tree any attention :(
WOW those places are gorgeous!! 😍 I live by the sea and the beaches in my area also have stones like that! 😊 Thanks for letting us see so many beautiful places!! 💖
+Corina omg another reason to visit you hahaha it was seriously soooo calming :$
So I am watching this video when I published my first vlogs. And its on Geoje too. TH-cam is really a hunter
President Moon's hometown is Goeje as well as my grandmother on my father's side. I never visited but I hope to go someday, thanks for showing this.
So so so beautiful! loved loved loved the video! Thank you so much for sharing it here. 😍
+Sara Nt thank you so much!!! (Again haha)
would you ever do a vid on places to go if you’re visiting korea for the first time?? i’m coming to korea for the first time in october for 3 weeks! and i’d love to know where i should go for my first time there! love the vid
I 💝 Mongdol beach too!! As Long as I expected 🤗
wow, such breathtaking views!!! makes me wanna go :)
it was really a stunning island!
햇빛때문에가 happy time 으로 들릴수도 있군요. :-))
카리씨는 한국음식 정말 맛있게 잘 먹네요.
😅
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ 햇빛땜에 = 해피타임~
성게비빔밥 짱 맛있었어요 ㅠㅠ
Never been this early to one of your videos, should try this more often because they're so soothing :]
Also, is that a dutch-style windmill? Never expected to see that in Geoje lol
hhahahaha!!! and yes, its one of geoje's biggest tourist attractions hahaha :)
Cariiiiii uuuuughhh I love your videoss seriousllly..
idk how many comments you get (this is still keiko lmao...i need to get a better un)
but seriously I wanna go to the cool places you do and i wish i had such a nice camera.
it seems so chill
cause i only go to daegu, busan, gwangju, and seoul but these smaller areas seem like they go unnoticed by the foreigners living here and it just seems so nice
BRUH DAEGU IS BAE. I was only there for...3 days??? and I freaking LOVED it. I get seriously pissed off whenever im scrolling Insta because 99% of the time if I see a cute cafe I want to go to its in D A E G U (or freaking jeju but thats a whole nother story)
pls go to 나리꼬모, 로맨스빠빠, and Cafe Whip for me ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
oh my goddd i willll!!! i'll tag you on instagram when/if i go! if you ever come down let me know!
yesssss!
The POW museum is pretty crazy. I learned lots of interesting 6/25 history there. The "Natural Art Land" place is also really interesting with some great sculptures made out of natural materials.
+el blanco _ it was closed the day i was there because of new years but I'd really like to go back. I also really want to check out the art land and a few more islands :)
Cari! I've stumbled onto your video on interning at YG couple of months ago and ended up binge watching bunch of your videos and following you on the daily! You are so engaging and sweet (: This is actually my first time leaving any comments on any TH-cam vids haha. Nyways, wanted to thank u for putting up such good content! It gets me so excited to go to Korea and explore!!! And I love love the ocean, the colour was indeed breathtaking
+Hanbee Pae ahhhhhh thank you so much!!!!
so glad i stumbled across your channel. your trip has just given me another thing to add to my list of things to do when i visit korea in april.
fellow starlight~
my mini concert+high touch experience was probably more epic fail than the little mishap you had with hongbin.
really enjoy your vids ^_^
bahahah yaaas starlights!! and i hope you get to see the cherry blossoms when you come!!!
yesssss, cherry blossoms! i hope i'll get to see them.
I guess you have traveled more places than me, a native korean. I really enjoy watching your video. please, keep up your good works!
thanks so much! I really enjoy traveling in korea, its much easier than traveling in the US :)
Woow,thank you again for the nice video. Can't wait for the another one^^
+Natalie Sugg thank youuuuu
thank you to show us such a beautiful place.
+thaty7 thank you for watching!
새해 복 많이 받으세용~~ what a nice day! The sound of the beach against the rocks was so relaxing ahhhh~ the 할아버지 getting rejected by his dog was so funny hahaha I see you drinking a lot of 유자차 in your videos, do you prefer it over 오미자차 or 매실차??
+Odette seriously i sat on the beach an extra 20 min watching that dog hahah and 유자차 is just a good choice for me in the evening when i dont want to drink coffee and leaf tea is overpriced HAHA! I really like 오미자차 too, its so PRETTY haahah and happy new year!!
+Odette also im sure you get this a lot but every time I read your name i think of the swan princess and how much i love that name haha
hahaha thank you~~~
The botanical island looks quirky and so nice. Great work introducing these kind of places! True story: while watching, I started to peel an orange and like in half a second, you held up yours too! Hahaha. Had fun following this trip!
i am literally always eating an orange hahaha food twins!!!
cari cakes *high five* 🍊
+Jessa Gail Lagunday 🍊🍊🍊
크으~ 경치 정말 죽이네여 한국인인 저도 안가본곳을 구경시켜주셔서 감사합니닼ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 한국어 불편하시면 담에는 영어로 댓글 남기겠습니닼ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 그리고 시간 나시면 등산 영상도 부탁드립니다~^^
ㅎㅎㅎ 거제도 가보세요! 공기가 좋고 분의기가 흐으으와ㅏㅏㅏ 시원해여~
ㄱㅅㄱㅅ^^
(한국말 더 연습해야 돼서 댓글 한국말로 굿굿!)
How do you edit your videos?? You use an iPhone right? I really wanna know how you add in the words and music lol I'm not good with technology tingz :( but beautiful video btw!! Definitely going there :)
Oh and pls make more videos like these!!! I love watching your super long videos bc you're such a natural youtuber! Lol most of them always go to myeongdong and just show their innisfree drinks which gets kinda boring 🤐 have you ever made a video at Olympic park? I'd love to see that those flowers are so pretty~
thank you!!! i use my iphone then use imovie on my macbook air~ its really easy to add text and audio using that!
hahahahahahah!!!! thank you^^ and I did but the video is a mess, it was when i was first starting :) you can check it here! th-cam.com/video/JCZmzoPdJng/w-d-xo.html
Im here cause i've learned that Jungkook, the maknae member of BTS went vacation on this island. Thank you for your Vblog😘..now i know why JK chose to spent his vacation on this island. It's beautiful😍 The next time i will go to Kr i will visit this island😍
its beautiful!
Heya! You are uploading these videos so fast!!! I definitely know some people would love to go to Oedo~ A whole island that's a garden! It sounds fantastic! The Cari Korean fail made me wonder how did you learn Korean???
i know! my grammy would really love it there :) and I studied korean at school for 1 year while studying abroad here and the rest is just what i picked up from being here!
Great video. You've earned a subscriber. I know this is an old video but I hope you figured out how to equalize the different sound parts of the video. Can be done in the creators Studio
how lovely!!! this area is definitely on my list! I'm starting to train myself to travel alone, but I can get so overwhelmed by my own internal monologue. does filming help you with that feeling? also, if you don't mind me asking, what do you budget for a weekend trip like this?
+Molly Owens omg i know what you mean!! I seriously used to get headaches if i was traveling alone because I'd be talking to myself so much!!! Filming definitely helps since i can talk outloud hahaha and i plan to make a visit about budgeting but i basically map out each thing i want to do, figure out how much it will cost and then find some ways to do things cheaper haha but really travel here in korea is so much cheaper than the US!
Hi Cari, that cafe on your way home is so beautiful, do you mind to tell the name? thanks!
I wonder if they have a groundskeeper of the island. That’d be quite a job title.
밝은 표정 너무 사랑스럽네요 ㅎㅎ
Should have went there when I went to 통영 over a year ago.
I was actually quite disappointed when I visited because we (my mom and I) thought we would see more of what you showed us... well I guess it was our fault to not research properly. Guess I Need to go back then :D
definitely go back! and geoje was really really lovely especially because i got such good weather!
이번 여행 너무 좋았습니다.
특히 영상이 너무 예뻐요. ^^
The waves :') 🌊
Nice trip! I wonder how do you find the bus route? do you use any bus app? I am afraid as I think I will lost
+Nam Kim i use naver maps :) its pretty easy using that~
Hi, Do you have a blog to blog about your one day trip in Geoje? i will be going there on the 4-6 April 2017. I would like to know more information on your itinerary. Thank you! :)
Hi cari! May I know the Airbnb u stayed at Tongyeong & geoje? :)
I'm eating the sea! What an expression!
+yongseok ghymn haha! It just tasted very sea-like 😊😊😊
Hi Cari Cakes, I am planning to go to Geoje and Tongyeong on January, could you help me with the information of transportation you used? Which number of buses and also where we could buy the ferry ticket for Oedo Island. Thank you and much appreciate it.
Check out my blog post linked in the description box! it should have all the map links :))) good luck!
@@caricakes Thank you will check your blog out then. Is it okay if I asked more information later?
Do you do these travels by yourself? i used to travel around Japan by myself so much when I lived there but in Korea I don't feel so comfortable doing it. I should just bite the bullet!
I definitely felt more comfortable traveling in Japan (i have no idea why?!) but this trip was honestly one of my favorite trips in a long time! but yes i usually travel solo! its pretty easy as long as you have a basic grasp of korean^^
cari cakes you have given me confidence! I can also practice my korean. I will get planning my next trip 😁
nice!
not to spoil your day, but there was a cholera outbreak in Geoje last year (June/July/August?). Be careful! should be gone by now? but still...
lots of foreign big ships north of the island (Busan new port...)
I love Geoje, too. But that place is just darn expensive (a meal that costs 16000krw in Geoje is only 10000krw in Haenam/Ddangkeutmaeul 땅끝마을) + Jeolla cooking, in general, is way way better than Gyeongsang cooking... ㅋㅋㅋ
there is also a Kim Young Sam (the president) museum on the northern part of the island (if you're interested in that kind of thing)
omg i had no idea!! and i managed to find pretty cheap food (meals about 5,000) but maybe I just got lucky^^ I definitely love Jeolla, that was my first big trip outside of Seoul back in 2012 and it was a blast!
yeah, during that time, even in relatively far away Jejudo, hardly anybody was eating seafood (hwe 회, etc.)
do you like hiking? hiking in Geojedo is a blast. there are 11 prominent peaks on the island and I've done 10 of them.
the southern islands are so nice at this time of the year, no?
islands west of Geoje are also great, and not that popular with tourists (which is great)...Namhae, islands of Goheung, Wando, Jindo...
I really REALLY want to visit Namhae!! and yes, I definitely love hiking, just didnt have enough time on this trip :)
there is this famous beach on the southern tip of the eastern part of Namhae called silver sand beach (은모래비치) in Sangju-myun and there is a mountain overlooking the beach (금산 - part of the 한려해상 national park) and on a rocky part near the top, there is this hermitage/buddhist temple and the view is just mind blowing!
there is also a cypress forest on the island
and a German village and an American village! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
we should hike together one of these days and we could drive round many southern islands ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
and the bridges to Namhae are just awesome
the one from Hadong to Namhae looks like the Golden Gate and they're not content with that and they're building another bridge just a few hundred meters beside it...
and if you go north from there, there's Hadong and Gurye and Jirisan and Seomjin river (I've biked the whole length of this river - part of the 4 rivers, around 150 km from Imsil-gun down to Gwangyang). Hadong is famous for wild green tea and Ssangye temple and Hwagae traditional market and the Simni (십리 == 4 km) cherry blossoms road. Ah~~ this place feels like home...
+Lance Corporal my coworker has been trying to organize a trip to the german village hahaha
When I was there ( next to windmill) the wings of windmill did not rotating.... For my sorrow...
Geoje seems to be a beautiful place I definitely want to visit. And your videos are always so relaxing and your music is so on point! Thank you for those impressions ❤
Geoje is definitely super picturesque! and thank you :)
And I can recommend other better place, which is hidden for most foreigners. It is like a place really beautiful but not many people know. Not a hot tourists spot but like a real deal for those who know this place well.
Oh, You went to Oedo Botania....
I saw many foreigners when I went there.
It was built by one family, and still is being run by the family.
Jishim-do is also beautiful...
The places around there are beautiful..
I hope the music and your voice to be about the same volume...
The music is too loud compared to your voice... So I have to adjust the volume or have to use earphone, not to bother next door people....
im working on getting my sound right :) sorry!^^
And I really wanted to go to 지심도 but didnt have enough time, i'll have to visit again^^;
How do u communicate? English or korean?
IwantedtomessageyouonFacebookaboutthisbuti'mtoomuchofapenistodoso
but since the first week of May is gonna be that huge holiday week for a lot of us my friend and i were trying to find new places to go that were more..less...city-y..i guess. i'm sure there is a more eloquent way to word that. because of your video of this i really considered taking us there but when im trying to get all the naver map directions and the bus terminal stuff...i'm so confused.. you went to geoje market right? i guess there you took the ferry all the way to oedo? ;__; im trying to figure out the itinerary
Aight huuuurrrr we go:
Day 1:
I actually took the bus to Tongyeong. I took a bus from the bus terminal to the Dopirang Mural Village then took a bus to Geoje (had to switch buses once)
Day 2:
From Geoje City i took a bus straight to Windy Hill, at the base of that hill you can buy a ferry ticket to Oedo and it brings you right back after an hour and 30 min. Then I got on a bus to Mongdol Beach and chilled there. Then sort of went home slowly.
the buses run pretty irregularly (like sometimes once an hour) so I just got lucky this day and wasnt in a huge rush but there are timetables on each bus stop so you can check the time and if you just missed the bus you can chill in the area for a bit.
For day 3 I just sort of slowly made my way to the Tongyeong bus terminal again cause i didnt want to risk buses not showing up on time to get me to the bus back to seoul :) and i found out that taxis are very cheap there hahahaha
idk if this helps buuut: www.goseoulmellow.com/home/2017/3/3/gyeongsangnam-do-one-day-in-geoje
have fun!!!!!!!!
ugghhhhh thank you...so much... i dont know how you do it but thank you man
햇빛땜에 해피타임
Can someone tell what’s the bus 55 timetable like between Gohyeon terminal bus and Dojangpo ferry terminal? Once an hour?
Edit: I can see the bus 55 timetable here in English
galetravels.blogspot.com/2019/11/a-comprehensive-guide-itinerary-to.html?m=1
quite long.
[Gohyeon terminal] - The first bus : 07:05 , the last bus : 11:45
[Haegeumgang last stop] - The first bus : 08:20 , the last bus: 13:20
dispatch interval is 4~5 hours which is quite long time.
Omgosh! You should totally do mini tours of Korea with your subscribers! I would love to join you on your adventures. ☺️
Aw this looked so fun! I'm glad you had a great time:) definitely need to visit!! Also dat corgi spotting made my life thank you for that
+NanaStarlessNight99 it got out of the car i was walking past and without thinking i recorded it hahah corgi addict!
