The girl behind the coffee

Ciao,
I’m Nikkie.

Italian, wherever life takes me.

Sardinian roots. A few countries called home. A soft spot for starting again.

I’m Nicole, usually Nikkie. I’m from Sardinia, and life has taken me through the UK, Ireland and the US. This is my little corner for the things that happen along the way.

I’m also sharing our K‑1 visa journey as my fiancé and I work towards building our life together in the US.

Here, you’ll find Italian observations, life across countries, a house becoming a home, and the ordinary routines that make the big changes feel a little more familiar.

I’m also a marketer, a horse girl, and very available for unnecessary conversations about making a bedroom cozy.

For readers & kindred brands

Good stories start
with a conversation.

A shared experience, a little hello, or a thoughtful collaboration—I’d love to hear from you.

For brands, my world brings together home, coffee and life across cultures, with a marketer’s eye for a story worth sharing.
