Please, Comune di Trani, give the man a honorable citizenship for the bidet thing :3
The more you enjoy Italy, the more we love you. Grande Katie!
one of the things I loved the most about italy was all the places there were to sit and rest. In the same settings that you are finding water fountains, I found benches and stone ledge just about everywhere to sit and catch my breath and watch the people go by, before getting back up and getting on with the adventure of the day! by the way, love your earrings!
Un applauso a Connor! Bisogna diffondere l'uso del bidet nel mondo! Andate in giro e raccontate che è utile, comodo, igienico e non ha controindicazioni. XD
Cavalieri della Repubblica per aver iternazionalizzato l'uso del bidet, le aziende Italiane di sanitari (uniche pronte a soddisfarte la domanda) fatturano milioni e vedono le proprie azioni prendere più valore di quelle Apple
I will move to the lake Como in spring 2022. I have to learn so much, but your videos will help a little bit. Thank you very much.
Be careful, because Apulia is vero different from Como lake....
Como lake is in northern Italy, it's completely different from Apulia where she lives. The landscape is different, food is different, people are different etc. Anyway, enjoy your trip! 🥰
Magic Lake Como, and in less than 1 hour, u re in Milan downtown :) awesome choice !
3 seconds in, knew I liked those earrings. Water fountains are the best. When I visit family in Brindisi I like to take photos of them as each one is unique.
That of public water (“ L’acqua del sindaco“ as we sometimes call it) and its flavor has been a long debated topic. Of course for the environment water from the tap is by far the best solution.
Also the water of the “acquedotto” is perfectly safe to drink and it is actually checked more often and thoroughly than mineral waters.
There is, as we can read in many comments, an issue concerning the taste of water in some buildings or some neighborhoods of some cities.
I live in a small village and water in small villages usually tastes quite good!
But most of my friends who live in cities don’t have good water from the tap.
In the last few years, in cities and villages alike, there has been a surge of “purified water dispensers“ where you can fill your empty bottles with water for a fraction of the cost of mineral water from the supermarket.
You can also buy sparkling water there,
And it’s really good!
Yes, sometimes the issue is the building's plumbing. The sindaco looks after the tubes up to the building, but from there it's up to the owners of the building to keep the plumbing up to date. So the on street fountains can have better tasting water than tap water
mi piace your earrings! I am American and own a second home in Basilicata. Our family spent the month of October there, and we used your videos for ideas of day trips and longer trips around the heel! Grazie millie!
Thanks for the video! AGREE 💯 with the air conditioner! We have 2 rooms that way here in Milan and COULD. NOT. LIVE. WITHOUT. THEM.
Ciao, Katie, Mi piace le tue orecchini! Brava! Mi sono davvero divertita con questo video!
We saw you in Rome yesterday near the Pantheon. You looked busy so we didn’t want to bother. Thanks again for all of the helpful videos.
Hey Katie, thank you so much for the videos. Your experiences, along with your personality are a soothing balm in these somewhat dreary times. You probably don't realize how much your attitude helps to lift your subscribers spirits.
We've been enjoying watching your videos as we will be in Italy for 2 months this summer, walking the Via Francigena. Thanks for the great info - Michelle & Brian
When you start cooking seriously, you realize that all those tools you see in the professional kitchens are anything but useless; they're actually fundamental hand they make you save time.
Great video! And, great earrings! I love your content, Katie and I’m proud to be a member of the Quirky Club.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your energy, love your videos, love the frames of your glasses that you switch up on your videos, but today I love splash of colour on your ears!
Mai visto un fan cosí appassionato del bidet 😂
E vedere un americana fare la pasta a mano sullo spianatoio é qualcosa di meraviglioso.
Always fun and informative to watch your videos. 🙏
I love your earings 😉 Just discover your channel and I am loving it. Ciao from 🇨🇦
Great earrings! LOL Your videos are always fun...all the way to the end!
Katie. Great earrings. Your videos have given me more confidence when traveling to Sicily. I appreciate all the recommendations and your approach to dealing with obstacles.
L'acqua delle fontanelle è buona. Arriva da molta profondità, almeno qui al nord è così... L'acqua è pescata da sorgenti naturali (sempre qui al nord, da voi non lo so) 🤗🤗. Per fare la cremina del caffè devi sbattere molto di più lo zucchero, deve diventare quasi spumoso, sentirai che bontà 😜😜
Vero. Anni fa erano anche più numerose le fontanelle.
Hai ragione: io la faccio ogni mattina e dovrebbe mettere anche più zucchero e meno caffè.cosi quando verserà il caffè nella tazzina di formerà la crema in superficie.
@@1963manuela ma infatti... non le avranno spiegato bene come si fa.
@@patriziasilvestrini2432 ,mi sa che glielo dobbiamo spiegare noi;-) .mia madre ha imparato a farla nel 1967 da una signora,nuova vicina di casa.da allora sempre caffè con la crema a casa mia e io continuo la tradizione.non bevo mai il caffè senza fare la crema prima: sono viziatissima;-))
@@1963manuela mi sa che siamo in due viziate, io ho imparato da mia madre che a sua volta ha imparato da mia nonna. Comunque il caffè con la cremina è un must al quale non si può rinunciare 😋😋😋😋
The taste of tap water being different may be due to the last stretch of plumbing inside the buildings. It may be very old and so it may affect the taste of the water.
Mi piacciono molto i tuoi orecchini! 😃 I started watching your channel the other week and I really enjoy your passion for Italy, your upbeat vibe and of course your quirkiness 😘 In addition to that, a cool husband and an adorable dog! Love from the other side of the world in Aotearoa (New Zealand) 🇳🇿 ❤ 🇮🇹
3:44 we can tell that at least once in our history the italian Parliament has taken a correct decision. 😄
Portable bidets should be invented. 😄
Hey Katie, loved the video and "great earrings"! Enjoy your week also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Katie
I do love 💕 your earnings , and I am very happy 😊 with your Book 📚 I got it for my birthday 🎁 this past summer and I am enjoying it.
Thank you 🙏 for writing ✍️ it I still have more to read I have learned so much.
I watch your videos every time they pop up,I really liked the 🍨 ice cream one with the flakes of gold that ice cream 🍦 looked amazing 😉.
I am so glad you are enjoying your time in Italy 🇮🇹.

I love your channel! I am starting to understand the need for a car. I will be in Lecce (from the states) in a few weeks for 4 to 5 months in early December. Trying to get to Verona for Christmas and it is an art to figure out the taxis, buses, trains and flight options. Buses to the airport don’t run on days flights to Verona fly and on and on. But it will be a welcome adventure. A car is also needed to see all the small towns throughout Puglia which are all worth the experience. I’m sure I will be renting a car off and on during my stay. Caio!
Take a train to Bari, switch train in Bari Central station, and go still by train, straight to the city Airport. Or catch a Bus to Verona (flix bus for example )
Sono Napoletano, ho scoperto i tuoi video da poco e devo dire che sei adorabile. Amp i tuoi video e spero di vederne presto uno ambientato a Napoli 😊
I use Tongs all the time when I make Pasta and I live in America. They are amazing.
The water of public fountains is considered better than the home wather cause generally it's wather comes from mountain rivers, naturally microfiltrated by rocks.
It all sounds fantastic to me. And yes I love your earrings they suit you. Thank you for sharing
Loved it. My Mom had a board like that which was used for cheese bread and a different one for pasta.
Nice “quirky” earrings…
I do love your earrings, and your quirkiness too!🇨🇦🍁
Yeah! Fresh hand made pasta is unbeatable! Let alone hand made gnocchi. Mmm even their fragrance while you're making them. Yummy.
Ciao da Texas, Katie! Mi piacciono molto i tuoi orecchini! 💛
Would loooove to see a video that further explains how to use all of those pasta tools
Love your earings Katie
Ciao Katieee!!!
Penso che te e Connor sei fabuloso. Tua canale è un parte importante del mio appridenimento italiano. Grazie per i tuoi fantastici video!
Can I correct you? The correct phrase is "Penso che te e Connor siate favolosi" with the congiuntivo and the word "favolosi". Anyway, good luck with your Italian learning!
@@ddpagni Grazie, Ddp46. Buon Capodanno.
@@KDiG812 Anche a te!
Do a video on the cost of living where you are living; give examples of food purchases, utilities, etc. Thanks.
Hey Katie love your videos and earrings of course! :))
Waiting for you in Thiene, Veneto !
Katie…love the earrings! And… your videos! 🥰Do you have any recommendations for Italian language lessons, tutors, etc?
I love your earrings! I am also a foreigner, I have been living in Puglia for a few months. Where is this beautiful place? (7:26) I am glad I discoverd your chanel! :)
i think it's Como lake, in northen Italy
The bidet❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mi piacciono i tuoi orecchini ;-) Another great video!
Water from the fountains is considered often "better" because it's usually plumbed to newer pipes.Older building's plumbing is often rusty or givin water a bad taste.
Other times private and public waters come from different sources so it could really be different from the beginning.
Ciao Katie, adoro il tuo cagnolone (il cane)
Anch’io!
I love your earrings 🤩🤩I love all your videos ❤❤
Bel video e sì, mi piacciono i tuoi orecchini 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Hey Katie I love your earrings!
Bidet is an important part for us in Italy 😅💙🇮🇹
I like your earrings ! :-)
Greetings from an Italian born in Matera now living in Tokyo.
I like your earrings, glasses and most of all your attitude!!
Love those earrings!
Hi Katie, I absolutely love the glasses that you wear in this video and the green pair that you have. Are they for prescription, and if so, would you be able to share which company the glasses are from? Thank you in advance.
Big like for the bidet, the most beautiful thing in the whole world
Love your earrings!
Love your earings! I had a question about your patente: did you transfer it from the UK (if it's possible) or did you go through the full process in Italy (i.e. written test, road test, autoscuola, etc.)?
Il caffè con la cremina wow brava stai apprendendo tutte le nostre abitudini 🙃
Katie, how challenging did you find the drivers license exam? I have heard that it is quite a bit more difficult than US exams. Thanks!
Team Connor for the win on #3.
I like your earrungs as well as your vídeos.
Love the earrings, Katie!!! and love your fingers holding the number three, but you still went "American" on "number two" but more important, I'm with Connor on the bidet...I'm a new convert...three weeks and counting the joyful days...mostly because unlike my first AirBnb here in Palermo that had a good flushing water dynamics going...this second AirBnb is an older building with older everything including a toilet flushing mechanism that does not seem to ever want to take toilet paper away down the drain, so I've succumbed and surrendered to the bidet and have been pleasantly converted into a true believer like Connor, and lo and behold, whooo-ahhhhh! I feel "fresher" and "spunkier"! Who knew???!!! Is there "an American Real Men in Italy who love the Bidet Club in Italy" out there??? Connor, you're the national president and Chief of the Puglia Region, and I'll be the national treasurer collecting the membership dues using fuzzy math, and Chief of the Sicily Chapter!!! Lol! Too Quirky!
I love your earrings, they are my favourite colour 🙃
Hi, How do you feel with the manual gearbox of the cars in Italy?
can you do a video on how to make italian coffee??
Belli gli orecchini! Ma lo avevo pensato gia' appena iniziato il video (per deformazione professionale). BTW about the bidet: you know it' s a very common trope here, wondering HOW do people in other countries do without, right? It' s common to share dramatic stories about trips on the subject
Ciao Katie, I am enjoying your videos and love Puglia, especially the trulli house's. I am a retired New Yorker with Italian citizenship living in Venice.I have question please regarding your license, did you go to school here in Italy for it because here in Venice that is what they require, you are not able to transfer your
U. S. license I to Italian Strangely over 40 years vacationing in Italy and renting cars all I needed was an international drivers license.Just interested in how you received yours.Thank you💕Debora
Oh Katie, you need a Brikka!
Mi piacciono i tuoi orecchini. I love how you and Connor are living the dream in Italy. I'm an Italian living in Australia and would love to do the same but need to convince my darling wife :)
I'm from a small town called Melissa in the Province of Crotone, Calabria. You should visit Crotone and Ciro Marina if you get the chance. The people are delightful and the cibo is, well, mamma mia! Ciao for now bella.
Husband Connor, Italy is proud of you!
Btw - if you find out what’s with the aversion to window screens here, please let me know. 😆
I know she is midwestern, but so am I. We have public water fountains in Michigan.
Connor, sei troppo forte 👍
nice
Oh Katie I like your earrings! 😊
Katie, I like those earrings!! 😘
I love your earrings 😍
ehi, adoro i tuoi orecchini 😀🇮🇹
I tuoi orecchini sono bellissimi, Katie! Mi piace anche il video! ;-)
Awww ☺️ 🤩 grazie !
Ahahahahahaha you are more italian than me 😂😂😂😂😂
1:40 it it's suppose to be better because it goes through less pipes, therefore more pure 😅
OK, I like your earrings ;) grazie!
I really like your earrings. Greetings from Texas
Your Italian is almost perfect now ! Congratulations 👏 ... Next step for being Italian : accept the warm inside you by drinking 2 liters of fresh safe tap water per day ... 😂 Better accept the summer warm rather than the 0 c cold with 97% of humidity rate 😂😂😂😂😂
P.s.: I ❤️ Kiro
Used your reference “my Italian passport”… reached out to email.. haven’t heard back.. should I call to verify I qualify for Jure sanguines?
Che belli gli orecchini di corallo! 😊😉✌
Si, ti stanno bene! :°D
Sei troppo simpatica 🙂
Share your favorite restaurants and what their menu looks like. Why? We are retired and have no desire to cook so eating out is a 'must' for us.
Beautiful earrings 🌈
I like the earrings 🥰
Credevo dovessi parlare dello scolapiatti e dei meloni gialli d'estate. Chissà perché mi avevano colpito queste cose dette da te e da Connor mi sarei aspettato una dichiarazione d'amore per le poste 😁😁😁. Festeggiato San Martino? Per Natale visitate qualche presepe vivente, molto carini, e magari qualche piatto tipico pugliese natalizio.
Ottima energia la vostra come sempre. Prossimo video sui proverbi pugliesi, qualche cittadino di Trani te ne può raccontare quattro.
Kate bella, I loved those ear things
Katie ti voglio bene
Ciao Katie, visto che ormai hai dimestichezza con la lingua, userò l'italiano 😬
Sono contento che ti piaccia il nostro bel paesino, confronto all'America siamo uno sputo. Continua così, mi piace il tuo modo di fare e mi piace anche quando Connor critica la nostra politica😂 lo facciamo tutti
Buon weekend a entrambi,
Cheers🍻
beh "siamo uno sputo" mi sembra eccessivo e ingiusto.
It's true! Your earrings are beautiful and ....quirky! ;-)
