My life in positano

I’m Nicki, an English woman living the dream in Positano.

At the beginning of 1999 I decided to take some time out from London and spend a few months in Italy to learn the language. I never meant to stay for good but when you choose somewhere as beautiful as the Amalfi Coast it can be hard to leave.

I now live with my partner, our daughter and a bunch of animals in a lovely homemade house tucked into a valley above Positano. We grow our own vegetable and fruit and keep fit with the 465 steps from the road to the front door!

My Blog

Life here was too good to keep all to myself so I decided to share it the best way I could. In 2006 I started blogging about everyday life in Positano. Although that blog is no longer online the most useful blog posts (and some of my favourites) are now on the blog right here!

Instagram

With Instagram I share photos of everyday life and use Stories to show you more real life as it happens. We do sneaky hotel tours, kayaking with Holly the dog, hiking in the mountains and lots of sunset watching and step climbing!

Youtube

In the last couple years, I have started making Youtube videos to give a more in depth look at life in Positano with some tips and recommendations thrown in. There are videos showing what to see in various towns around the coast, hiking trails explained, what we eat in a day, days out exploring the surrounding area and a few real life vlogs too.
