are you still in Korea? would recomend going to 알라딘 bookstores if you are

"Oh no I forgot my sunglasses in the forest of wisdom" is such a distinct vibe 😂

JACK YOU'RE LIVING THE DREAM! so so happy for you and i hope that you have the best time there.

Please do add the carbonara in your acknowledgements, i love it when authors put seemingly out of pocket things in the acknowledgements 😭

The way you’re smiling throughout - you are truly in the right place!

i watched you on a podcast once where you said you’d rather live your life, then film it, instead of make filming your entire life, and i’m glad you’re doing that ❤️

As an author, my biggest tip is to write everything. Do not stop when your creative juices are pumping! Free writing is amazing. Then, after writing the entire manuscript-COOK THE BOOK! Let it simmer for about a month or two. Some will do this for even a year. Then, go back to your work, and that's the time when you edit it. You'll see so many things to fix, adjust, add, or delete. This method has worked for all the books I have written. I wish everyone good luck! Good luck with writing, Jack!

Love how he moved to Seoul because of ✨literature✨ Many people move to Korea because of business, Korean entertainment culture and technology. It’s rare to move there just for literature but it’s actually a bliss. The country’s book culture; literature, libraries and book cafes are literally the best ones. You can’t experience it anywhere else. Most people would figured that if I ever move to South Korea, it will be because of the Korean entertainment culture. Don’t get me wrong, I love K-Pop and KDrama but it was never because of that. My love for books is beyond and South Korea feels like a dream for bibliophiles. So happy for him to live the dream

I don't want this video to be over!!!!! The music, the views, the editing style, EVERYTHING was sooooo amazing! Also, I'm not sure if this is possible, but for the place that you are writing about you might be able to watch some vlogs from people that went there? Maybe they took a tour of an old building you are writing about, or they talk about the view from a certain point. Anyway, we need more video's like this!! Good luck.

This is, truly, the very best content you have ever produced…..show us more of Jack the writer!

The peace I want in my life to write poetry

In korea right now, having a very sentimental and cry filled time away from my family, but this is just what I needed because I’m nearing the end of my first draft

I’m from Paju but living in London. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my hometown☺️ It is the best city for book lovers!!!!

I loved this! As 40 something female, I feel like I’m living my life vicariously through you.. thank you.. I’m so glad I found you.. I’ve just enrolled in a creative writing course at my local college… I have a dream..

OMG IM KOREAN AND MY JAWS DROPPED WELCOME KOREA JACK!❤🎉

I'm not the one to usually comment in people's videos, but I really needed to thank you for this half hour of pure peace and tranquility. This video calmed my anxious thoughts so much. Thank you a million times.

as someone who used to watch all of your uni vlogs -loved this more informal style! you should do more of these we would love !

I did not know Paju was known as Book City. I remember going there back in 2017 to visit an outlet mall (best highlights for me there were the Johnny Rockets restaurant and the Marvel store!), but knowing how close it was to the DMZ and North Korea actually scared me, because on the drive to and from Seoul, you could practically see North Korea’s “Fake City” from across the river and there were watch towers along the shore (on the South Korean side obvs).

I've always found it funny that there is a town in Korea with the same name as mine. I didn't know that it was the city of books! Love that! Paju in Finnish (and Estonian) means willow which is also fun!

you're glowing jack, i feel so incredibly happy for you right now i could cry 🌟🤍🥹

Oh my gosh, welcome to Korea! I love your channel and immediately clicked on the video when I saw the title 🥹 hope you get the inspiration that you need!

Jack literally living the dream I'm so happy for you! You mentioned how writing a book is essentially writing a book you would want to read? That reminded me of a saying be Toni Morrison that goes like this : "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it". I hope you'll have a great time writing and publishing your book

OMG, as a huge Korean fan of yours, Jack, welcome to Korea! I'm so excited to see that you're cherishing your visit in Paju! Paju is one of my fave cities too! Seoul also has various attractive places for book lovers, such as Starfield Library, Seoul Metropolitan Library, and numerous independent bookstores! I hope to see more videos of you exploring lots of book-friendly places!"

The largest and best bookstore I have ever been in was in Seoul. Great city for books, music and movie theaters. This is making me want to go back. I stayed there for a month a while back and I loved it. Also Korean people are so kind and willing to show you hidden gems, so I ate in some great places and went to some lovely galleries and coffee shops.

I love this. This is so true about needing distance from the rut to break the rut and connect with your inner self. I am happy for you and wish you finish the book super soon with most satisfaction and flow.

Omg your video editing has gotten so much better!!

this was so incredible jack. i appreciate you for sharing such a vulnerable experience, i’ll be going one day and i can’t wait to visit!

congrats jack. proud of you! love from turkey.

this is probably the most calming video i've ever seen!! saving this to my "can't sleep" playlist

obsessed with how you edited this and how beautiful all of the footage was!! literally inspired me to open up a draft i haven't looked at in months. thank you for this

YAYAYAYAY I'M SO EXCITED FOR MORE VLOG CONTENT IN KOREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i literally love these more "vlog" style videos !!

I love watching you grow as a person. There is so much beauty in this video. Thanks for sharing it with us!

this is so, so lovely. Thank you Jack for sharing this with us!

what a lovely video, seemed like a little break from every day life just watching it :) I loved the little captions you left, especially since I only just got into the habit of actually getting up earlier just to get the time to read in the mornings, because my uni life is quite stressful at the moment and my free time comes down to zero on most days, so it feels really powerful to reclaim a few precious minutes of the day when my brain hasn’t been bruised by the day yet and just read :)

the entire aesthetic of this video is absolutely beautiful and in my opinion, indicative of the creative headspace you were craving. i cannot wait to read your book. god bless

jack omg!!!! i am SO happy for u, and i am so excited for this new chapter. i’m wishing u nothing but the best💕

Love this, been dreaming of just moving to Seoul, taking a ridiculous amount of books that I wish/need to read to study & live for a bit, love the bravery of you doing this, I hope it gives you the energy you need.

A photo of the office space with the bookshelf wrapped around the window has been pinned on my interior design Pinterest board for a while now, so you're definitely living in a dream space and I'm v jealous

Thank you for this video! It’s so calming and soothing, just what I needed right now.

What a beautiful and zen video, Jack! 🫰 love it so much! And can’t wait to read your book ❤

Looooved the editing style in this one! So artistic and relaxing to watch. So peaceful and inspiring. Truly, I loved every second and tiny detail in this video. Also can't wait to read the book (ahhhh!!!).

thoroughly loved this video jack, one of my favourite uploads of yours!!

This video has my heart. Also the audio choice jack you have impecccable taste i rewatched so many scenes because it was so relaxing

we love to see you thrive ✨️

This vlog is a masterpiece. It makes me want to work on my own projects and take care of myself and at the same time just calms my mind. Immaculate vibes.

The ending made me tear up just a bit. I love watching people realizing a dream, and hope that energy helps me realize my own dream soon. ❤📚🌿

Can’t wait for next book so proud of you Jack and I loved your first book!!🎉🎉

Love this so much Jack, so happy for you!!

one of my favourite videos of yours now - this is so peaceful and inspiring. adore your content always jack!

I just adore seeing people pursuing their dreams. Can't wait to see what this new endeavor has in store for you !!

Love the different kinda style in this one. Especially because it has a good mix of peaceful, beautiful moments (scenery shots, music, poetry) but also the usual chaos (forgetting sunglasses, searching for the coffee shop). Reminds me of the digital detox videos and I’m here for it. 😄

You look so happy Jack! Seoul really agrees with you ...enjoy your time there and can't wait to read your book ♥

I'm not a very adventurous person and haven't been far out of Belgium. But I would move there in a heartbeat. Also, I just love this video it's so calming and inspirational.

There's a really beautifully different kind of aura surrounding you. It is as if you've arrived at exactly where you should be, for now, though perhaps not where you will eventually get to and genuinely want to be. ✨Thank you for sharing this update with us, Jack. Peace Be With You.✨

Missed your vlogs sm!! This was so dreamy and comforting

I have genuinely never seen a video more comforting, relaxing and making you feel you can do anything and that all bad things that are going on in your life don’t matter. Wow!! ❤❤

I love your vlogs soo much Jack!! This one was particularly beautiful and refreshing. Thanks for bringing this to us ❤❤ I love hearing you talk about your book :)

this is the earliest i've ever been to a jack edwards video! 😭✨

this is the most gorgeous house and video i have ever seen, love this for you!!!

This might just be my favorite video of yours! So calm and inspiring. You are truly a blessing for youtube.

Truly excited for this book! Can't wait for it to come out!

Wow... What a beautiful video. Just the inspiration I was needing. It's so refreshing seeing you enter this new phase of your life... Please don't stop growing and creating. Thank you 🤍

Really love the style of this video Jack! Cozy, warm and inspiring. Can't wait to read your book and can't wait to visit Korea one day

i love this video and the vibes, keep doing you jack you're doing amazing. i love how this video gave me vibes from your old vlogs at durham, just you living life.

This video was amazing to watch! The music, the editing and the whole feel of it! Thank you for sharing this with us!!

What a dream this felt like, and what a lovely mood you've created in me... Thank you ❤️ I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this video

I did a double take when I noticed (as I was doing my French Duolingo while watching the video), that you where talking about the book I'm currently reading, that I haven't heard anyone else talk about yet (Green Dot)! I got so excited to keep reading it!✨

Muchas felicidades Jack! Disfruta mucho de este proceso!!!

Your place is truly to die for! I hope you enjoy every second of the process~

Thanks for being you and prioritising your needs over Youtubing Jack 😇. Genuinally look forward to your progress with the book and seeing you flourish.

Jack, I might not read the amount of books I would like or they might not be part of my life as they are in yours, but I find your videos and your personality so inspiring specifically on the discipline and compromise you have with your work, I have been watching your videos for a while now and in this one I could feel the energy you are on now and I loved it! I'm so excited for your book I really believe in you, your imagination and your knowledge.

This is the best! I love living in Seoul. It is so inspirational. Been living here for 13 years…. Enjoy the process!

This video reminded me of your countryside vlog. The aesthetics, the sheer passion of writing and most importantly (if i do say so myself) a discovery of MINDBLOWING poetry. Thank you, Jack. :))

LOVING THIS, LOVING YOUR LIFE!! loving that you enjoy a book translated from swedish. I am from sweden and picked up the book as soon as i heard you talk about it. Loving names of places in Stockholm mentioned, some where i grew up. Loving that I fangirl over that.

congratulations!! this is so exciting!

Ahhhh this video makes me miss Korea so much! 🤕🤍🤍🤍 love this content jack, really lovely and peaceful 🌸

this video makes me miss korea so much! loved the poet narration at the start, how special

Omg just noticed your shirt. I love Keith Haring art. Jack you’re such an inspiration. Thank you for sparking us back to life 🥰

This vlog is so healing as someone who wants to do her thing this is now my dream life

Your videos are always so inspiring. Can't wait to read your novel!

this is different than any video ive ever seen from you. this is so beautiful. i love your usual funny sit-down videos. but this is such a fun way to spice up your channel.

This was such a calming video. I've always wanted to go on a writing retreat, there's something about visiting a random place and getting to know it that feels so enriching. I wish you the best with your novel, and eagerly await your next video

I love this style of video! the zen is so relaxin!

Omg...as a korean, I was so shook!! And "봄 여름 가을 겨울" LP on play? Dang...you never cease to surprise me

Jack!!! 😍🙌🏻 This is my favorite video that you've ever done! 😍😍😍 I wish I could watch it again for the first time. ❤

Jack, thank you so much for sharing this journey of yours. Its such a reminder for me to enjoy the little things in life, like reading in a cafe. I am definitely going to make Paju City a place to go next time I'm taking a leave! Such dreams! Sending you lots of good vibes!
