    I wish to share my true experience with all. Last week after watching Nicki's video , I went to my office and I saw some troubled heated argument of my staff and one of the client. Normally, I behave very strong and start fighting myself. But I was in such positive and good mood that I looked at the things in a very different perspective. Within 5 minutes I managed to resolve the dispute to a happy ending. Incredible feeling. You are making positive change to lives of many. In fact, I have started recommending Nicki's channel to many of my friends whom I feel needs a strong dose of happiness and positivity. You are an Angel. Stay blessed. Somebody below commented "You are living our dreams Nicki". So true. Thank you so much !!!!

    The food looked fabulous that Celine made. I enjoyed you hearing Andrea Bocelli singing in the shower and how both Celine and Bocelli brought you to Italy. I kept thinking about the movie, "Under the Tuscan Sun" with the open countryside, villas, and stone cottages. Although there weren't any sunflowers the lavender, rosemary, and olive trees beside the swimming pool were just as lovely. Jenny

    Rolling Hills are much better than 500 steps. So many abandoned properties in Italy, Spain and Portugal. So many new YT channels of ex pats buying them up and rebuilding their dream retirements. Portugal is cheapest right now. Time to shop and invest Carlos!
    Celine had a dream gig. So happy you two peas in a pod had time together once again. Her dish of orange salad with caramelized onions, olives was mind blowing. Never would have thought of the combination.
    Loved your story of Bocelli singing in the shower. Can you now understand how your mom must have felt of you never coming home again? She must have been so proud of you for following the stars.
    Every place you go in Italy seems so lovely. The people and foods and traditions.

      Hi Patty, I'm Carlo, thank you very much, yours is a really nice comment, you made me smile, because you made a bit of a mess, in the shower, it was Andrea Bocelli, and not Botticelli, who was a famous painter of the Renaissance, which I believe died in the early 1500s.
      Anyway thanks for making me smile!😘😁😁😅💕

Lifelong friends are so special. Ciao.

    I'm always amazed at the shape of the Cypress and the beautiful trees that exist in your part of the world. Didn't realize Celine was a cook. Glad to see something as familiar as a KitchenAid. Makes all the difference in my cooking life. I am pausing this video and taking notes on all these wonderful ideas she cooks. I am thrilled you have a new vehicle I was waiting for that news. How cool it is that you have that experience with Andre Bocelli.(A cousin of mine, demoed keyboards for Sony, for a while, all over the world. Super interesting job for him. Electronic stuff winning an Academy award for several scores backdropping movies. the technical side of the Oscars - not the super showy up front stuff.That huge large musical industry is an extremely interesting one. Never enough time in life to catch up and hear all the stories. We are too busy living it aren't we?)And shower sing might not be like anything we've ever heard. Unforgettable for you. Thanks for sharing that. Such a pretty green top with the lace sleeves , Nicki. Such a wonderful old puppy. Such good friends - lovely to see .Thank you !

    The Celine/Nicki relationship/story is quite special. We should all be so lucky to have an age old friendship like that. It is lovely and generous for Nicki to focus on Celine and her work. Nicki was fortunate the client allowed the camera at the private dinner. I love having a talented chef cook for me in my home. Celine's professional relationship with food makes for very colorful and interesting video productions. Tuscany is a personal expertise of mine, and I could easily see Nicki prospering there. I have never been to Chianni, but the area looks quite special and worth a visit. I wish Nicki had more time to spend in Volterra, which is another special place to visit. I would love to see Nicki explore other areas of Chianti and Southern Tuscany as well. Nicki could become (if she wanted to) a newer, more fun version of Karen Brown, exploring some of Tuscany's best lodging options. Tourists would love that. Nicki's trips are so much fun to watch. If only Carlo could get away from his day job and do more drone work. Tuscany is an amazing place to film from an air balloon, especially at sunrise. The most colorful time to visit is late May/early June.
