It’s totally normal that you have to refill the tank when you give the boat back. They gave you the boat full tank, so you pay for what you have utilized, like renting a car. Completely normal
Yes it's like rental car ,always full tank when you get the car back.
There is no place in Italy that's not worth visiting! The most rich in beauty country in the world, everything you want, you got it! I am in love with it! Hugs from Florence (Tuscany) from an adoptive Italian ha,ha! 🤩👌 Stunning video!
Grazie!!!
Kiro is so adorable. I would pick him up and hold him like a little baby❤
Thank you so much to show this side of Italy!
Salento is one of my personal top five most beautifull places in Italy. I travelled all way Italy, but the air, the sun and the feelings that I have in this place are magic
Katy addicted to your enthusiasm and celebration of Puglia. What a divine place! By the way l am super impressed with your Italian. Loving your authentic phrases and you are picking it up so quickly. Viva il sud! (From an Italo- Australian with covid induced italia withdrawal symptoms )
Hi Katie. I just returned from a 2 week trip in Italy, and found your channel while googling how to use a bidet. 🤣 My wife and I want to live in Italy. I'm sure it's not all rainbows and butterflies, but watching your morning routine studying Italian and working to assimilate into Italian culture made me a little envious. It's the life my wife and I are dreaming to live. I'm a US citizen, and I work remotely for a US company. I'd like to find a way to just continue working remotely for my company, and living in Italy for a year or two. But I'm having a hard time figuring out which, if any, type of visa/permit that scenario fits into. Do you have any ideas, or could you point me in the direction of any companies that could help me? Unfortunately, I don't have any Italian in my ancestry.
ciao credo sia meglio appoggiarsi a Italiani residenti oppure a vostri connazionali già presenti per capire i meccanismi anche burocratici che ci sono nel ns Paese , per il resto sarà un'avventura meravigliosa
Omg they gave you a boat…I have to go there!
Salento is top of the world for everything!
la cosa più bella da vedere è come ti diverti qui in Italia e quanto tu sia felice di esserci, per noi rappresenta una soddisfazione constatare che il nostro paese rende felici le persone.
The 2 Ichnusas at the end of the video, classy touch! :P
You're ready to come to Sardinia!
What a fun adventure!! Bellisimo! Jane Bond did great driving the boat!!
Well...boat rental is just like a car rental...you gotta refill that tank. Beautiful adventure! Can't wait. We go to Puglia at the end of August. American living in Sardinia. Can't wait to discover some more of the mainland.
I love these videos! Her husband reminds me of Toby from the Office.
Beautiful life, fantastic fresh food in amazing Puglia Enjoy thank you for sharing can't wait for the next episode
Thanks for watching!
You have to visit OTRANTO on the adriatic coast! The most beautiful city in salento
Fantastic day guys! Glad you enjoyed, nice couple, greatings 👋❤️
This is really la Dolce Vita...
sono d'accordo!
@@TheQKatie Just found out this awesome channel! Makes me quite nostalgic :)
I come from a small village on the Jonian sea (in provincia di Taranto), had college in Lecce, thus living the Salento everyday for years. I met my next-to-be wife and moved with her abroad some years ago, trying to come back every 2 or 3 months for a weekend. I would love to come back and live there, but someone does not (ehm...) agree :/
State vivendo la vita che avrei sempre voluto vivere... Vi auguro tutto il bene del mondo! :)
OMG Katie you look and sound just like my niece Katrina😍we are also of Italian (mother) Irish (father) ancestry!! I live in Tuscany, and one of my son-in-laws comes from Puglia and l love the region👍good job moving to Traini, really beautiful.
Thank you very much for this video, Katie. Yesterday we rented a boat in Leuca, it was extremely fun, and we would never have rented one (had no idea that one can do it without a license lol) without this video. And even better: our was 70€/4h :D
That’s awesome! Glad it was helpful!
Bellissimo video. Favoloso Salento, felicissimo di viverci!
Grazie per i consigli! Andremo sicuramente da Martinucci :)
I am loving your videos!!! I was around thst area…glad you are reviving what I did
What an incredible place!
That was Perfecto!
Great video, very informative, really enjoyed watching. Will visit Puglia for the first time in June so looking for as much tips & advice possible
You guys did a great job with this video bravissimi 👍👏🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Grazie!
Puglia looks incredible! It's awesome to see what the tip of the heel looks like 😅
It’s pretty amazing!
Great video thanks!!👍😎💥👌
Mille congratulazioni per la cittadinanza e complimenti per i video meravigliosi sul tuo canale!
Wonderful Salento 🥰
Katie, you are hilarious!!! Btw, the video, and Italy, as always, are super nice!
Thanks for watching!
Elogio della Sa-Lentezza.
Se il Salento fosse al Nord, sarebbe Saveloce. 😄
even Americans come to Salento now, that's incredible.
Katie your videos make my mornings so happy! I’m hanging out on Lake Michigan today! Didn’t realize you were from our little place in the world! 💕🙂 Should have known lol
heyooo! My in-laws are from Traverse City. I love it up there. Enjoy your summer. Thanks for watching!
Passate delle belle vacanze 😎👏👏👏
What a fantastic video. I got nervous seeing you drive the boat (uguale come guidare una macchina haha) I don't think so. I am glad to know that I can go on a short ride with other people. I going to be studying at Lecce for 10 days and plan on taking short trips in the afternoons.
Gallipoli is our favorite in Salento along with Otranto. Our granddaughters live in Casarano. ❤
Yes yes yes! I can’t wait to get back keep these vids coming. Ps I love your clothing… maybe share a short of your fav shops?
No one has ever complimented my style. This is the best comment I’ve EVER received!!!
It’s true! You’ve got great, understated style (the best kind to have)!
@@TheQKatie awe glad to give it. The glasses, the tops with the unique details :) makes me happy.
Great !!!! Now we are in Bisceglie, close to Trani, but we were in Ugento before. Like you, Kate! 😊
So close!
Fantastico, che bella la mia regione! Vi seguo da un po' e sembrate davvero felici di essere qui. Saluti da Altamura, spero possiate venire a fare un giro anche qui (non è così distante da Trani) ;-)
Voglio visitare altamura! non vedo l'ora!!!
@@TheQKatie Ad Altamura ti innamorerai del pane che fanno là
@@ragtime59 vero.... e sono di Milano...
Il mio bellisssimo Salento ! It's nice to see that finally some English speakers are learning the language of the country they are going to :-) PS : for your info, Santa Maria Di Leuca is the place where the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea meet.
Very nice! You should visit Taranto and Massafra next time.
I got your videos recomended on yt when planning a trip to puglia and the first day I arrived I'm 100% sure I saw you in Ostuni, is it possible? It was mind boggling 😂
Guys you gotta do the boat thing in Positano, mind blown, also you shoulda done the fish markets in Gallipoli where you can sit and do insane amount of crudo mare cheeeap , yes yes & yes.....We live in Selva Di Fasano during the summers and reckon PUGLIA RULES OK. Addicted to your channel, keep it comin'.
good trip ....next time , you're so close to Gargano... must visit Vieste and around . ciao ciao
Now, I had to pause the video and I feel obliged to ask you "HOW THE HELL IS THAT YOU EAT SO MUCH CALORIES AND SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU GET SLIMMER AND SLIMMER! 😓😓😓😓😓As an Italian, I would never ever eat that delicious food! I gain weight only by looking at it. By the way, you look so happy getting to know my country and this makes me happy, too! Take care!
She's got damn good genetics.
And she do a lot of exercise...
must be the olive oil Iguess.
Could you make a video about how you learned Italian? Would love to learn about your language journey.
I'm coming right there...
i loved it
Ottimo video Katy, if u r still here in Salento, come to visit Centro Storico di Matino. Ciao bellissima!!!
Awesome
Katie, thank you for making us a video of you and Connor having dinner at a Trattoria in Italy, how was Portolano Trattoria for you and what was your favorite dish that you've ordered? Hope you still have great memories of living in Italy.
The dishes looked amazing, unfortunately the reviews on tripadvisor are terrible. Perhaps they have changed management? Menu?
Bello avere una mamma così giovane... Bellissima esperienza mamma e figlio in tour 👍
Dovresti far i giri delle cantine! Manduria, Salice Salentino, San Donaci, Guagnano….
Quanto siamo fortunati a stare in Puglia.... Da Peschici a Santamaria di Leuca di trova sempre un bella spiaggia dove andare al mare
7:22 Kiro it's like ,here we go with this kind of strange language ...:))))
Come to verona in winter. Great mountains in the north and good fat sausages 😅
Salento....my land is wonderful.
Hi Katie , I can see you have to expand your horizons.
Perhaps come across country to see us in Calabria ( where we can show you the crystal clear blue waters of Tropea)
Come and see us at the marina where you can hire another boat ( they all seem to be about the same price + fuel)
Can’t wait to visit Calabria!
@@TheQKatie prova l'arancino con la 'nduja se vai a Tropea
I also eat Martinucci sweets. Very good.
Had me at BOAT. So clear waters
It's pretty magical!
We want a special vlog about Kiro
beautiful dog!
Ciao Katie, venite anche in Cilento (Campania..Paestum, mozzarella di bufala..), merita tantissimo
non vedo l'ora visitare!
You are literally putting a knife in my heart. My dad's family is from Tricase, but I was not able to visit those coast in the last few years... this hurts!
i also thought that would be more expensive in Gallipoli! o.o
Fun Fun Fun !!!!!! :D
ciao Katie , vi suggerisco di visitare Verona e lago di Garda con la vicina Mantova e Venezia .Buon soggiorno !!
Puglia is the land of fairy tale.but you went in the most touristic places
Pure in Puglia ho visto lo stesso
Salento terra di sole mare e vento
Trani la mia Città ♥️
So when you rented the boat did they explain to you boating rules, like minding buoys, boat lanes and wakes, waves? How to approach waves, etc.?
of course they didn't, they are a boat renting company, not a navy academy lol
I remember that funny movie where all ppl jumped out of the boat and no one was able to return on it
Looks beautiful. It is one of the regions of Italy I haven't visited yet and would love to go to.
Aren't you worried your dog could get heatstroke? Anything over 30°c can be risky for dogs though I imagine you've always got plenty of fresh water for Kiro.
BTW I've read your book, 'Cheese, wine and bread' and found it really interesting.
We keep an eye on Kiro for sure. It's hot down here! We keep him shaded, watered and wet when needed. We're like doting new parents with a newborn ;) Thanks for reading the book! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Ehi hello.
I love your videos.
Also if I am italian😁🇮🇹😂
Nice trip, but you miss the east coast from Leuca to Castro!
next time!
@@TheQKatie you’re always welcome ✌🏻
Question: how is Kiro on boats? Is he ever eager to swim? :O or is he scared of entering large bodies of water? My doggo seems to really not like swimming in water, even swimming pools xp
He… tolerates it. He’s still pretty nervous about most things in life after having spent his whole life in the dog shelter (they took great care of him, but he just didn’t see much of the outside world). We hope to get him loving the water because we certainly do!
Did you both become conversation in Italian with the 7 months or did you learn Italian prior to the move to Italy?
Try northern Italy
How long did it take you to get there?
Welcome to Salento...lu sule..lu mare..lu jentu.. (the sun..the sea..the wind..)
I don't remember if you've already visited Tremiti islands.
serious question; how do you stay so slim living in puglia? Every time i go visit my dad who lievs there i get 2kg every 4 days.
Might be exercise or good metabolism, but not sure
Please visit Sardinia :)
Non vedo l'ora!
💚🇮🇹❤
I liked the detailed lessen. To go forward, move this forward. To go more forward, move this more forward. To go back, move it back. Think you can handle it???
It’s tricky stuff 😅😅😅
Hi...is that a B&B where you're staying with the pool? Could you please link the name of it? Thx
Sure! bit.ly/2VEe9cX
@@TheQKatie Thx😚
Did you expect free gas 😅
Good video but you showed us too little of Gallipoli 😞
1:50 you like hurting yourself 🤗🤗 i can tell you affastellare and beffardo are not used anymore 👍. I love your videos by the way. I have to go to Puglia next year!
Omg the boat with no license. You're so brave lol
Wait: 'affastellare' is a beautiful italian word. It is not commonly used by the average guy on an trivial conversation, but you are very welcome to use it when chatting with me. "Beffardo", on the other hand, is absolutely common and you can even use it when chatting with my three yo cousin!
Plus gas.
Ciao dove avete preso la barchetta ?
Nel porto di santa maria di leuca. Ci sono molti negozi che noleggiare le barche.
bellissimo posto ho amici a san foca, cucina top ma hanno i tre prezzi come a venezia, uno per i cittadini del luogo uno per gli italiani uno per gli stranieri, ma stupendo come tante altre citta' italiane, sono amante dei dolci e ho scoperto la torta al limone fatta con dei limoni divini o le paste con doppia crema(cioccolato e crema) stupende, l'olio non mi piace e troppo acido sono del centro italia e da noi e piu neutro
Voglio assaggiare quella torta 🍋 🍋 🍋 !
@@TheQKatie se ti piacciono i posti e la cucina italiana cerca sul tubo parco la gola del furlo, ci sono ristoranti buonissimi che fanno piatti al tartufo che non costano troppo, ce anche un albergo 3 stelle ma in passato aveva una cucina a 5 stelle, il proprietario raccoglieva i funghi alla mattina e li serviva alla sera, e il posto e bellissimo
Grazie Dio di avermi fatto salentino ! 🐳🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🦈🐙🦀🦐🦑🐚
Qkatie, ma come fai a non mattere su chili mangiando tutto quel Ben di Dio?
Vieni in Sicilia, la mia regione
Non vedo l’ora!
@@TheQKatie il sud è povero ma è pieno di perle nascoste
Have you enjoyed a nice RUSTICOOO as well??? :-)
