    As a Londoner I love seeing this kind of appreciation of the city, it's heartwarming. I literally work next to the London Eye and even though I love London I forget to appreciate the sights I get to see on a day to day basis.
    Just as I commented you showed Shreks Adventures, literally in the same building as my work, its so fun to see you just walking past the building that I practically live in

    I feel exactly the same as you, Cari, about London. I’ve been there many times to shoot on location and a few times just to vacation; it’s the greatest city on Earth. It’s like New York, but then you turn a corner and there’s a 12th Century church. So much history, so much culture, so much diversity. It’s a knockout.

    I felt so at home in London and other European cities after spending time in Korea, Japan, China, and so forth. I think the fact that everyone spoke fluent English really helped. Even in Austria, Germany ... almost everyone spoke English. I don't know if that played into your love affair with London, but it did with me.

You went to so many places that I also went to and it was nice to see them again, and how they have changed in the three years it has been since I was there. I legit couldn‘t stop smiling while watching this vlog. It brought up so many good memories. Thank you so much! I needed this. Love from Germany 💖

    seeing you so emotional about this trip and the people you met made me think about how precious these little adventures and our relationships are. i am slowly realizing i am entering that moment of life when meeting friends becomes more and more difficult, because we are moving around in different directions; and enjoying quality time, going on adventures and having fun days can be very hard, because "adult life" _will_ take all of our time and energy if we allow it. all in all, this was a very special vlog for me too. thanks for sharing, cari ❤i will be more mindful of certain important things from now on.

    Your video sums up my experience of London really well. I was there in 2017, right around the time when there were terror attacks all around Europe. The week I was there, there was a terror attack on London Bridge. We were riding the metro right past it, and it was super scary... but I just remember the Londoners being so extremely nice and friendly all week, just like we can see in your video: random people waving, talking to you, giving you a smile or a compliment. When we were there, lots of people also took a little time out of their busy lives to say a few words to us tourists, thanking us for being here, asking if we were okay, and that really comforted us.
    Also, London is just so beautiful! ♡

    I have the same feeling about remembering the size of places when I was younger. As someone who grew up near London I don't think I appreciate the city, its' a delight to watch someone who is enthusiastic about the city. Thank you for an uplifting nearly 45 minutes.

    Travelling is very difficult and stressful for me with my medical conditions and food allergies so I have yet to fly on a plane and I don't typically eat out at restaurants but thank you for taking me with you on this little trip, it really felt like I was there with you!
    Also I'm really jealous at how calm you were travelling alone as a woman around London. Hopefully I have the courage to do so one day in a place I'm not familiar with!

    Thank you for reminding me how much I love my country. We have so many people these days who tell me my country is terrible and I am sick of it. I'm so glad you felt welcomed.
    London is always best early in the morning. I've worked on the South Bank next to the Oxo Tower, near Temple, just off Parliament Square and next to the Tate Modern over the years. My favourite office was on Shaftesbury Avenue and walking from Waterloo station over the Golden Jubilee bridges, up Northumberland Avenue, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square and through Chinatown to the office at 8am was just a joy.
    By the way, just round the corner from Hampton Court is Bushy Park which still has free-roaming deer. Always worth a visit.

I'm a french 19yo girl who just got into med school after pretty much two years of hell between the studies and the pandemic and i've decided that i'm going to london for five days in two month, but as much as i'm exited i was also scared because it's my first solo trip, but after watching your video i'm not scared i'm just impatient to enjoy life and catch a breath so thank you for sharing with us your energy and your joy !!!

    Took me so much effort to stop myself from commenting until the end of the video. You were so lucky to come over now, Big Ben was unveiled a couple of weeks before your visit. You've visited some of my most favourite places in London: Blackfriars Bridge and St Bride Church are two of them. That's because of my love for Shadowhunters. You know St Bride's Church is the London Institute, right? Hampton Court is one of the places I have visited the most throughout the pandemic. And V&A is the place I visited the most before the pandemic. Both of them feel like they have something new to offer with every visit. At the Tower of London I believe they were installing the huge slide that people should be able to use to reach the moat to enjoy the flowers. Will check it out this weekend and let you know if the flowers have bloomed in time for the Jubilee. I was looking at you continuously smiling while taking in everything around you and you've reminded of me in Seoul. Just like you, I was exhausted, but still found energy to go on every day. I am so happy you've enjoyed being in London. 😊
