      @@Caroline_Winkler As someone who is always told that I am too loud and too annoying- we have to embrace it. I understand that it may get on people's nerves but- that is who we are. To pretend and act otherwise is not honoring ourselves and not living authentically. We need not worry about how we are coming off if we are simply being ourselves - just like how we don't like people because of various reasons, others will not like us because we are "too much" but that is 100% okay. If we dialed it back and were more reserved and quiet there would still be people who didn't like us- you can't make everyone happy :)

    Damnit Caroline, I don’t usually watch travel videos and I got TOTALLY sucked in. Everything looked so beautiful and effortless. B-roll and inspiring music, new places, drinks and food but still going for a run. I was feeling the “I want to live like that” “I’ve been wanting to learn Italian” and in the background of my mind I heard a whisper of “find a way to live every day like this, weave those elements in, be present”. Then you pulled me back down to earth with the comments about the struggles and unseen issues that get lost because they’re difficult to capture or convey. I could probably find some really pretty moments in each of my days and put inspiring music over it and make my life seem more like the one I’d like to live. It’s about perspective.

    Hey girl! I'm so glad you came to visit Italy! And your italian is actually really good, loving hear you speak italian! 😍 I live in Milan, if you need a guide for a trip here or you would like to know about local gems just write me!
    Fun fact: when I took a trip to San Francisco I was shocked about every meal portion being absolutely gigantic! I see that we have very different standards about food sizes 😂

      Ahh amazing!! I lived in Gallarate outside Milan for a short while actually! Such an amazing city you live in. And you are so right about the portion sizes. I knew my comments in the video were soooo American haha, I contemplated editing them out, but alas 😂

    I am Italian and when I speak in English my voice changes A LOT! I go from brusque and kind of nasal to a bright, high-pitched, little-girl voice - it's weird. A proposito, il tuo italiano è pazzesco! 👌

    I'm sure I'm echoing hundreds of thousands of people when I say this, but discovering you have kinda changed my life. I'm now attempting to strike a balance between binging yet also savoring the existing videos (and podcast episodes) you already have out.
    I first came across your channel in the video where you spoke about loneliness, and it resonated with me in SUCH A BIG WAY that when I rediscovered you and that video specifically recently - I took notes! I hope we get to continue to enjoy your content for as long as you are able to produce them. The way you approach the content you make, for a lack of better term, is simply a breath of fresh air and I'm excited each time you upload to hear more of the thoughts in that noggins of yours!
    I'm not sure if you're looking for content ideas or if you'd be willing to create content on this, but personally I'd love to hear more about how you approach creating content on UA-cam and maybe some tips on how one should start? Specifically on finding your niche in UA-cam, but also not letting that define you and still having some creative freedom to explore outside of that. There are few creators like you that I've come across (and I feel like I watch a decent amount haha). You've created something truly special here Caroline!

    This was so good to watch after just coming back from a trip with my sister. We had the most beautiful vacation in the south of France! but it went a lot different from what I expected and we squabbled a ton. She’s more straight-out, deadpan and sarcastic and I’m a real emotional daydreamer 😅 Still love each other to death though. Live’s just so beautifully paradox 💗

    Sister struggles are no joke…I have two, one 11 months younger, one 4 years younger. I feel like I’d argue with Elizabeth and she would find me annoying…but it seems that she would find most people annoying.😂 Traveling with anyone is challenging. The one person I always have fun with and she never annoys me is my bestie of 43 years. Fun to see you three enjoying Italy and so envious you speak Italian.😏

I always travel with my teens, they are seasoned travellers but the dynamic you felt with your sister this trip is just amplified a bajillion times so there's that. Looks like a bucket list trip, we haven't been back to Italy in a while so its on the list :)

    spending a fair amount of time each weekend watching videos about property for sale in Italy, I understand the conflict between the life, the ideal, the vacation and the choices we all make either consciously or thru abdication. Fellini never used sets, he just filmed Italy as he found it - he loved it all just as he found it. Maybe that is a clue. Thanks for the opportunity to have this train of thought ❤🙏🏼🦋🎈

Glad you made it there and took us along for the journey! Great fun!
