Honestly I’ve never felt so personally proud and happy for a person on the internet. You made it man!! Love you Nathanial!
This is precisely what I came to the comments to express. Sooo stoked for you! Been watching for a while and will continue cheering you on, N!
it's weird how this feeling is common amongst viewers
Exactly how I took the news. I‘m feeling so proud and happy!
Yes.
same!!!
this is incredible, congrats Nathaniel!!

hi Ali
I’m about to watch your new Home tour video , ha ha
I’m still working through my depression and other issues… but I genuinely feel so happy to see things working out well for someone who truly deserves, and appreciates, all the love, joy, and discovery he is surrounded by.
Here’s how to not be depressed.
1) Get closer to God
2) be grateful
3) become a free thinker and stay away from leftist ideas. Leftist embrace being a victim and having mental issues.
4) free thinkers understand that happiness is a responsibility

Dude I'm so glad about how transparent you are about the "not having a stable income" situation and how you were able to overcome it. You truly were meant to live the life you're living and I'm happy that we get to see it unfold! Much love from Toronto, Canada!
so happy for you Nathaniel :’))) and such gorgeous storytelling as usual. excited to see what this new creative space brings you ⚡️
should not be surprised to see you here since I'm subscribed to both of you haha
@@AndromedaMoon888 LOL same!
As a German (with a similar system to France) I was immediately like "oh no way he will get such a big loan without an employment contract". You indeed were very very LUCKY!! This is a major accomplishment and the universe is definitely on your side!! Congratulations
That whole stable income thing annoys me. Even if you've been in the same job for 20 years, a minute after you get a mortgage, the company you work for can go bust or they make half the staff redundant. There's no such thing as a safe job these days.
@@ElBeeEss if you have had a stable income for 10 years and you get fired or otherwise you still get money from your ex boss and a income ... the rules are pretty easy and understandeble everybody want s their money
@@ElBeeEss Employement rules in France are really strict, much more difficult to be fired in France than some other countries like the USA or Germany
Watched the whole video smiling and laughing, so proud of u man 💪🏼u got this
Nathaniel, you're storytelling is immaculate. It felt really like a short movie. You really succeeded in portraying all the emotions you've felt, and delivering them in the best way. Godspeed!
This put a massive grin on my face. Would love to visit this summer!! (:
Please do! I want to see you guys in one video!!
Frenchie and Parisian here, I always love your videos but this one especially got big grins out of me. French bureaucracy drives us as crazy as you guys, so I cannot even imagine being a foreigner and trying to buy an apartment here... CONGRATS then ! Still hope to run into you one day, that'd be fun !
I am so happy for you, I started to cry, It all remind me off when I purchased my first apartment in Stockholm. I had been living in apartments all over town for more than ten years. But then 2009 I purchased my flat 25 square meters and I had a loft bed. I remember walking by the flat for days before I got my keys. The first night I cried when I went to bed in my loft bed. I was so thankful that I had my own place and remembered that feeling for all my life. Today I live in a large house with my family, so grateful for that. But the feeling I felt with my tiny apartment 2009 will always be with me.
I wish you the best time in Paris with your friends. You have a magical channel!
This is like watching a friend do well and get what they desire in life; it makes me really happy! You deserve this so very much! Bravo et bonne continuation!
I've watched you for a LONG time but never commented. I'm only 4 minutes in but hearing you speak about your desire to not give up on your dream even during a lockdown in a foreign country that you'd only just settled in, rang so close to home.
I moved to Barcelona at the beginning of 2020 after a lifetime of wanting to live abroad but battling crippling fear about the prospect of it. I fell in love in 2019 while traveling around Europe. In love with a city, a man, and myself. All of which gave me the courage to make the leap and just as I felt like I was flying, the pandemic swat me down.
The idea of going home was never an option for me, just a safety net. Trying to explain why I was sticking it out; even though I was almost completely alone on the literal otherside of the world (Australians abroad can relate) from my family and friends; was hard. People didn't understand, why not go back to safety and comfort? I just didn't want to give up on my dream.
Two years on, I'm still here and I am such a bigger person for it. I'm still trying to build a life here and while the world is more open, I still struggle with the loneliness and uncertainty of the world we live in now. But, overall I am so grateful for this city and the growth this experience has provided me with. And while I'm not about to go out and buy an apartment here just yet, I do want to thank you for constantly inspiring me to be brave, open, and inquisitive to every experience!
Congratulations!!!! I feel you beyond words about the french laws and banks! Now what are the chances for that angel of yours to be mine as well? Because I desperately need help for the exact same reasons in buying a place!
My all time favorite makeup artist 👩🎨 love you ❤️
Omg Andreea!!! I love your videos!! ❤ Love from Italy
Nathaniel, I honestly think that your “angel” was God providing for you. Recognize that you are a sinner (like every human being on this earth) and receive Jesus Christ as your savior. Your sins will be forgiven and your life will have purpose and meaning like never before.-Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:8, John 3:16
@@kandacehead9544 go touch grass you b
I love your channel too. Hoping you can find the same banker.
I just pressed the “I liked this content and I believe in you” button, so so happy for you, for this new chapter and for what it means for your life. Hope some people move out and have some furniture to give to you for free ✨
this just made me so happy 🥺 So happy for you!!!
wowowow congrats!! what a beautiful story & new beginning :')
Seeing people achieve their goals and dreams makes me so happy. It's very hopeful.
Too bad he didn’t help homeless people
First video I've watched of yours, great story-telling and editing. new subscriber here.
Great time to join, welcome to a new era!
Woah! Its been AGES since I watched your videos. Literal years.
I moved from Australia to Paris three years ago and have been thinking about and working towards this same goal for a year. Super inspiring to see you achieve it ❤ congrats 👏🏻
Wow so happy for you Nathaniel. Thanks for bringing us on this journey 🙌🏽🌴
“I don’t have the amazing final product yet” 16:39 Somehow, I think this sums up your entire channel. Life, no matter what stage you are at, should never be a finished product. As an… “older” person (and I’m not THAT old, but I’m older than you) - I get a lot of joy from seeing your exploration of life and the adventures life brings. Congratulations on your new apartment - may it serve as a base for growth and creativity! You’ve chosen a lovely city to center upon.
Soooooooo happy for you! The future is bright, like... all dat natural light bright. ❤ can't wait to visit!
“you really come to value something when you lose it” - this is the truest thing ive ever heard. you have to value the little moments with the people and places you love. it won’t be there forever.
Super happy for you! I lived in Paris for like 5 years. Watching your videos makes me nostalgic 🥹
Think of it this way: you've poured your heart and soul into your content and, at least as far as I'm concerned, you've given each of us good moments to look at things under a wider and deeper light. If you feel even closer to your happiness now, that's the result of all that. Keep it up, you probably already know how the Italian saying goes: "La fortuna aiuta gli audaci" 🙃
Congratulations, Sir! Moving to Paris this year and am scared of the bureaucratic nightmares in store but am comforted by success stories like yours! All the best
Everytime I play one of your videos I am never expecting to watch till the end but somehow I am always glued. And after watching this I finally changed my whole opinion of your content. Not bad since I only discovered you yesterday. This video especially was amazing. Superb storytelling, I was actually sympathetic about your personal struggles on this journey, but in the end I was left feeling really inspired by the way you made it work. Congratulations!
So happy for you dude! 🙌🏽
Thank you bro!!
My fav storyteller is in the room🤩
Three words : You Always Inspire!
Hi Nathaniel
I came across your parents first and enjoyed watching their adventure in leaving the US. I discovered your adventures through that and looked you up. I too made that move many years ago from the Midwest to France. After a few years of volunteer work I ended up teaching English in the Paris area. Over the years, I have had many adventures too but one of the main ones involved the purchase of a ruin in Normandy which was all I could afford on mainly two part time teaching positions. Over the years that ruin has slowly been transformed into my little paradise in the beautiful Normand countryside where I now live permanently. If you ever want to come out and spend a couple of days I'd love to sit and share stories with you. I so understand your frustrations with French bureaucracy but like you I have that inner excitement about this life which I'd have to say quite honestly chose me.
My best wishes to you and your family
Paul
I'd appreciate your comment
I am so happy, proud and inspired by Nathaniel, both from a digital storytelling and life perspective. I'm seriously just so in awe of him and his determination. He deserves all of these Ws coming into his life and more. Nathaniel, I am seriously so happy for you and I work to have the courage you have to just go out there to help create the life I want for myself. Congrats on the new apartment!!!
I like what you said " The Roaring 20's are coming back to Paris". You inspire me to live overseas. I intend to backpack around the Middle East, France, Italy, Portugal, Romania. Congratulations 🎊. Sending you all positive energy to you.
Europeans hate Paris than other cities in France
Really feels like a friend who found happiness and success in his life. Congratulations Nathan! Big up champ🙌
As a 17 year old that wants to move to Europe, doesn’t intend on going to college, and is also interested in filmmaking, your videos are addicting! It’s all I can watch. I feel so alone in the path I seem to be taking in life, and I don’t feel as though I have support, so finding your channel has been the most comforting thing. Seeing the pros and cons of living in Paris and seeing your perspective on Europe as a whole, has really helped me shape my opinion on moving. I’ve still got a lot of time and a lot of money to save before doing anything, but these videos are a step further towards that goal. Not to mention, your videos are always cinematically great! It makes your videos even more interesting to watch. Beautiful work!!! You’re so great at what you do. I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do next!
I got emotional and feel so happy for you Nat! Been following your journey and have always been inspired by your humility, deep introspection, and awe for life. Love how you emphasized the profoundness of connection and community in this video which gives real meaning to why this is just beyond just getting a new apartment. Excited for your new chapter!
45 seconds in and your energy is turning my day right around in a positive direction! Congratulations, dude! Watching your videos and picking up on little tidbits of information, little nuggets of gold has altered my life in more of a significant way than I thought possible. Thank you, I couldn't be happier for you and your future ventures!
Exactly!
why i am smiling like as if it happened to me lol i am sooooooooooo happy for you ! all the works you have done and all the troubles that you went through ! i watched you for 5 years now i just cant believe this one of my favourite youtuber has grown so much !
“ so much more to come, let’s go!” - a great ending for an uplifting, happy, “ can’t stop smiling “ video ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏 can’t wait for what’s to come and the next video. CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎉🎈
Nathaniel, congratulations! I'm so happy for you! This beautiful nesting in Paris, where you creating a community that inspires you is so well deserved! Much love to you
I want to hear the story about Romania ! I'm romanian myself and a big fan of your work .
omg your family’s hilarious 😂😂😂😂 totally loved their “genuine” reactions, also loved the video, so so SO incredibly proud of you, Nathaniel 🥰
Congrats on your new place! I also moved from Romania to Belgium about 8 months ago to be with my boyfriend who I hadn't seen for almost a year due to Covid. It has been a wonderful and strange experience, still struggling with finding my people but hopefully that will change. I hope you liked Romania, looking forward to hearing that story :)
Congratz bud, so happy for ya especially after the struggle you went through to get it!!!! This also made me motivated and excited as F, as I will have this moment in the years to come!
Feeling so happy for you Nathaniel! Enjoy the fruit of your efforts, you so deserve it :)
Congrats my dude! You totally deserve it! Oh and I can not wait to see the final result!
where are you man? travelling with the van?
So happy for you!! Congrats
ahhhhh i'm so excited for you!!! 🤠 thank you for talking about the hard part of this amazing thing, it helps to keep me grounded and to not look at the NO's life has been throwing at me as permanent and/or exclusive to me. can't wait to witness this new chapter of yours 🤍
Congrats Nathaniel! What a story and journey! Excited for your new chapter!
It looks absolutely beautiful, congratulations Nathaniel! Can’t wait to see what you do next ❤️
So excited to see your achievements, Nathaniel! I've been following you for so long (since I went to college). So many aspects of my life changed since then, but you are still part of my days. Thanks for everything :)
I remember starting following the channel for the self-improvement videos and now I'm so excited to follow your journey as a person. It always gives me "ah! let's see what Nathaniel is up to!" "yes! go for it Nathaniel!" and your videos became a little part of my routine along with other creators (like struthless). Happy for you! And cheers from Sao Paulo.
I'm so happy for you Nathaniel! Been following you for a while and always have a smile on my face when watching your videos :) Thanks you for what you do!
So happy for you! Your smiles are absolutely contagious! Many blessings to you and your new place!
En México usamos la expresión "que chingón" para algo como lo que estas viviendo, celebro esa sensación de sentir que has encontrado tú lugar, tú gente! 🤗
gonna sound weird...but this made me tear up a bit. I've been subbed since 30,000....so proud and happy for you Nathaniel! You deserve it!
I'm so excited for you!! Your pure joy and excitement is so infectious, I found myself tearing up seeing it. It's also so nice your best friend will be next door
This legit brought a tear to my eye...was going through the process down here in South West France. Got the keys late January after all the stuff you mentioned... so from someone who understands 100% congratulations!
Happy for youuu!!! Following you these lasts years and seeing everything that you're conquering is amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ And what a good energy you're sharing! Thanksss
As someone who moved to another country and constantly moving different cities/places, I am really happy you found your home , Nathaniel ! Cannot wait to see what the next chapter will bring !
This video made me so inspired to finally plan to own a house or an apartment in the city I want, seeing you this happy was so relatable since I have been away from the people that make me happier in general.
This was a very special video, you can feel the positive energy bursting from the screen.
I've recently been given the opportunity to do something I've always wanted to do (travel Europe with a stranger) and I feel like we're both on super similar wavelengths right now lol.
Life is good.
There are other cities better than Paris
I am soooooo happy and thrilled for you. It was so fun to see you so excited for this new chapter of your life. I’ve been following you for over 3 years and have loved watching your life’s journey. What a crazy adventure you have been on. Good luck with your apartment furnishing and renovations. Can’t wait to see where life takes you next and so glad you’re talking is on the ride. xxoo
I love this, I felt your happiness and energy, and your happiness transferred to me and put me in a good mood. I'm really happy for you Nathaniel and seeing this inspired me to do better, don't lose hope and don't give up. Thank you for sharing ❤
So happy for you, Huge Congratulations. Sending you all the good energies for your new beginnings. ❤
It's funny how someone else's happiness can make you happy. I've just seen a couple of your videos, and it was probably more than a year ago, and this one just popped up. I was just smiling through the whole video. Congratulations.
This whole thing makes me so proud! As if I’m watching an achievement of my own! Congratulations Nathaniel. Onwards and upwards, 🙌🏽
After moving to France and going through the bureaucracy myself to buy a house, I can relate. Happy for you and loving the positive energy and excitement
I've never seen Nathaniel more excited than in this video! Thanks for showing us that everything is possible and being the embodiment of success we aspire to be.
You are incredible! So very happy for you friend, loved your words about the “energetic exchange” so true! It’s been a joy and inspiration to watch your journey over the past few years all the way from Vancouver, WA! Best of luck on this next next chapter of your life! Thank you for sharing🙂
Congratulations, Nathaniel! This is wonderful news, and I am so pleased to see you feeling this excited. I couldn't be happier for you, the future looks so bright in this new home of yours. I love France and the French language and culture, too. I can't wait to see how this journey unfolds for you!
Seriously the positive energy.. its radiating! having been following you for years..I must say I really loved your values & journey. I'm really happy for you.. you must be proud of yourself! BON VOYAGE!
This is legitimately one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. I literally was bursting with smiles when your apartment was solidified. Your excitement was so contagious, and I’m so excited for you♥️
I've watched your channel probably since before 2020. I'm so proud of what you've achieved. It is so beautiful seeing you blossom and enjoy your life as you should. Thank you for taking us through your journey. Love u man
So so so happy for you Nathaniel !!!
I've been following you for years now and I am so happy for you! Such a huge step man!
So so so proud of you !!! Sending lots of love and hugs !!!
Congratulations !
Oh maaaaan!!! Congratulations !!!!! the entire duration of the video I had a big smile on my face like that's my best friend getting to live in his own apt in Paris! So proud of you! Sending loads and loads of happy dance and house warming wishes! ✨✨🌸
I knew this moment would come and I'm genuinely so happy for you! Cheers to your new chapter ❤️
Great congratulations Nathan! I have been following you for the last two years and we even spoke sometimes on Instagram DMs and I must say I'm really proud of seeing you on your journey accomplishing your dreams. It is not buying an appartment, but the fact that you feel emotionally ready and sure about it. I can imagine THAT means the world to someone like you who, as me, has been used to a nomad lifestyle in seek for that personal growth, realised what that lifestyle meant, took the most out of it, and is now looking for those deep and stable social connections somewhere you feel home at the same time, which is not an easy combination to find. I know how fulfilling that feels and I cannot be happier for you. Sending you all the love and good wishes from here, I hope I can visit someday! Now it's time to continue living 💛
For sure teared up a little bit. Seeing someone so happy after what seemed to be such a grueling process and not walking away from those dreams is truly inspiring. Congrats!
Congratulations!!!! I've been watching you since 2019 and so proud of your progress! Now you can make it your home!! I was told artists love France, definitely have to come and see for myself
Good on you mate, I’m happy for you :)
Congrats Nathaniel! Thank you for all the beautiful content you bless us with, it’s a pleasure to support you! I too am just beginning my digital nomad journey, for similar feelings of not quite feeling at home in the US, i am excited for the journey and your thoughts have only enhanced that excitement by adding a realistic lens to the dream, the process is going to have many twists and turns so thank you for this video especially 💪🏿🥂
So happy for you! Your energy is contagious, definitely needed this rainy Monday :)
Bro, hearing you say that you've visited Romania, and seeing the shots from Iasi made my day. I hope you'll come back sometimes in my country and maybe to Bucharest 🤩
Congratulations Nathaniel 🎉🇨🇵 Have thoroughly loved watching your journey, you're a thoughtful and considered gent 🌸
I can feel the excitement in this video! I came back to the US a few months ago after living in Paris for 2 years and I *cannot wait* to go back full time. So stoked you’re building roots there. Congratulations!
You brought tears of happiness in my eyes and all this happiness is directed towards you and your new home! Congrats - it was so uplifting to see the excitement on your face!
Wow I couldn’t be happier for you Nathanial! You create the most inspiring and helpful videos so THANK YOU! You deserve everything you have 🙏🏽
The way you feel about America is how I felt my entire life there. I moved to Scotland and haven't looked back, though I also felt an affinity with France as well. The US never felt like home and we are lucky to have the opportunities to find our homes abroad :) So happy for you, I will be watching eagerly for this new chapter from you
It's crazy to see your journey throughout these years and see so many similarities with my own life. The only difference is that I left my home country to move to Canada instead. Same year, similar experiences, and it's cool to see that we can overcome those challenges, specially covid-19 wise, with lockdown, adaptation and all that stuff.
We can see that you are a humble person, and you give your heart to share your experiences with us. Amazing story.
Cheers
I always love that our Angels are synching together Nathan. So happy for you! I'm also starting a new chapter of my life with movement and stuffs!
You deserve it. So happy and grounded for you Nathaniel. Such an inspiring being
That's exciting man, good for you! I can tell it's going to be a fantastic experience
Huge congrats Nathaniel! Must feel amazing!
I started my nomadic life in Paris many years ago, so I can relate! It’s so hard uprooting every 90 days.
I could never find one place for 90 days making it super disruptive. I’ve been back in the USA for over a year now, feeling isolated.
You’re inspiring me to head straight to Paris!
@@gloing Pennsylvania is not isolated
I’m just trying to move 150 miles from my house…and I find it an incredible challenge, but I am doing it for the same reason as Nathaniel…I need to be around open-minded creative people of all ages and backgrounds who want to go forward in life! Best wishes Nathaniel!
I’m so happy for you Nathaniel!! You really inspire me, in both creating a community around me and believing I’ll be able to own a home someday 😊 so excited to see what’s coming up on atelier Lutéce
I never thought liking videos and watching them would feel so rewarding as in your case, Nathaniel. I'm so happy to see that you have your own apartment as if you were my brother, cousin, or something like that. Yes! You're my brother from the Internet. Congratulations 🎉🏠👍🏼
Wow, buying a home! Congratulations! That's super exciting and I look forward to seeing this next step in your life. It's definitely my biggest dream is to be able to buy a home for myself, although not in a big city. Hopefully that day will come sooner than later. ❤️
Also, it's so interesting hearing different people's perspectives and situations throughout the pandemic. Most people talk about the loneliness and isolation, but for me, it was honestly the best thing that could have happened to me. I'm someone who gets their energy and inspiration from being alone, so not having to constantly be around people was amazing. My life changed drastically in the best way possible. Even though I lost my job and income, I finally had all the time and space to work on myself and the things that really matter to me. I made more progress with my art, my RUclips channel, and my creativity in the first three months of the pandemic than I had in the last three years. I also went through so much healing and personal transformation during these last two years that was so very much needed. It was an amazing feeling, and even though the entire situation sucked in so many ways, on a personal level it was the greatest thing that could have happened to me. My life has changed so much since the beginning of 2020 and I feel like I'm much closer to achieving my dreams (including the ones I achieved during these last two years!).
Same for me, If it was not for the pandemic,I would probably never discover so many things that I enjoy like cooking 🧑🏽🍳
@@iamsean8737 Exactly! Having the time to learn new things, discover new interests and passions, and being forced to just slow down. I feel extremely lucky that things worked out this way for me, especially since others were not as lucky.
Infinite congrats on your new apartment Nathaniel !! This is really a huge accomplishment and you completely deserve it and more. It is truly inspiring to see you flourishing in this city. Looking forward to what comes next ;)
I'm so so happy for you! And so thrilled you'll be neighbours with such a good friend, I could almost cry happy tears for you
Congratz for this amazing move !
