Geez Cari, honestly, you should get a job with the state department promoting tourism and travel. The first part of this video was just magical, the montage flowed so beautifully. You don't just have a knack for this, you are truly gifted! Your 7th degree blackbelt in pastries prowess has now extended to any kind of food. You could promote travel, tourism, food industry or just about anything because it doesn't come across as promotion, it's true artistry. You could teach a master class for this sort of thing. Well done girl, well done!!

Cari I don't know if you've thought of this before, but have you ever considered doing historical documentaries of places? Your ability to capture the look and feel of a place at a given time would be very valuable for future historical context. Places change, cities change, the look of streets and districts change over time. Fashions and styles change. It would be nice to have time capsule style video montages of various places and the people in them. Your speaking voice is so pleasant to listen to, and your diction is so good, that you could easily narrate these videos and it would be worthy of being part of an historical reference series. Just a thought.

I’m so grateful for your videos. I love traveling, both alone and with friends/family. Right now, travel is kind off the table as my mom has liver cancer, and as you can imagine with all that is involved with that, between finances and how she feels, etc., it’s a bit tricky. The heartbreaking thing is my mom found out she had the cancer RIGHT BEFORE she retired last year, and we were going to make plans to go to Normandy area of France, she always wanted to go. If the cancer was the only issue, we would have tried to make it happen (and we still might, even if I have to spoil her and pay for it all). It’s the BS with Covid too though. Obviously being on treatments, she has a weakened immunity. It just breaks my heart she is dealing with this. Your videos encourage and inspire me to really try to take her on her dream trip, even if done through a river cruise. You’re an angel Cari, you do so much or so many people. Your content lifts us all up when we need it, some day I hope we can send the love back to you ❤️❤️❤️
