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!!
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!
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!
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.
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.
wowowow congrats!! what a beautiful story & new beginning :')
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!
this just made me so happy 🥺 So happy for you!!!
“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.
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!
Soooooooo happy for you! The future is bright, like... all dat natural light bright. ❤ can't wait to visit!
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 👏🏻
Seeing people achieve their goals and dreams makes me so happy. It's very hopeful.
Too bad he didn’t help homeless people
Super happy for you! I lived in Paris for like 5 years. Watching your videos makes me nostalgic 🥹
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 ✨
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
Wow so happy for you Nathaniel. Thanks for bringing us on this journey 🙌🏽🌴
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 !
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!
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
So happy for you dude! 🙌🏽
Thank you bro!!
My fav storyteller is in the room🤩
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" 🙃
I’m so so so so so excited for
You as if we were related/friends/acquaintances. Good for you and koodos in this new chapter. I’ll be here to follow along 👏🏼👏🏼🤩
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
Three words : You Always Inspire!
Really feels like a friend who found happiness and success in his life. Congratulations Nathan! Big up champ🙌
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 🤍
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🙂
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
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?
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
Feeling so happy for you Nathaniel! Enjoy the fruit of your efforts, you so deserve it :)
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 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 :)
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!
omg your family’s hilarious 😂😂😂😂 totally loved their “genuine” reactions, also loved the video, so so SO incredibly proud of you, Nathaniel 🥰
Congrats Nathaniel! What a story and journey! Excited for your new chapter!
Wow ! High Five, Awesome news Nathanial. I had tears in my eyes watching that, thank you for sharing your journey and appreciation with us, you are a stand out. Proud of ya, I'm looking forward to see your journey in your new home.
“ 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 🎊🎉🎈
It looks absolutely beautiful, congratulations Nathaniel! Can’t wait to see what you do next ❤️
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!
How wonderful to see your excitement! Congratulations on this new chapter!!
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!!!
So happy for you! Your smiles are absolutely contagious! Many blessings to you and your new place!
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
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!
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!
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.
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 !
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 💪🏿🥂
I want to hear the story about Romania ! I'm romanian myself and a big fan of your work .
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
So happy for you!! I love your energy to improve in a lot of different ways!! Gracias por compartirlo!! Y espero sigas creciendo para seguir haciendo videos por mucho tiempo!!👏👏🥳🥳
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 💛
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 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 ❤
This whole thing makes me so proud! As if I’m watching an achievement of my own! Congratulations Nathaniel. Onwards and upwards, 🙌🏽
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 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 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♥️
Have never seen a video off you, this is the first one. Great story’s! Awesome how you did it. Gonna follow from now on. Wish you a happy life in Paris !
Congratulations Nathaniel 🎉🇨🇵 Have thoroughly loved watching your journey, you're a thoughtful and considered gent 🌸
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!
So happy for you, Huge Congratulations. Sending you all the good energies for your new beginnings. ❤
Aww!! I smiled through this.
I'm so happy for you Nathaniel and I'll continue to watch and like👍.
Can't wait to see what you do with the place 😀
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!
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
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 :)
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!
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!
So happy for you!! Congrats
I knew this moment would come and I'm genuinely so happy for you! Cheers to your new chapter ❤️
Very cool, my guy! The excitement was palpable!!! So much love and encouragement to you!
gosh I just love your videos, they’re so inspiring 💛 & it genuinely gives joy to my heart seeing you live your dream!
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.
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
Oh so happy for you🙌🏻 I thought that I’m the only one who experienced so abondent for the last 2 years. Could you explore more how you have build the community in a new country?
I've watched episode 1-3 of this apartment buying and I have been giggling the whole time I'm so so happy for you and it's just so exciting!!! Your happiness is just going to go up from here and I love it for 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 am so happy for you. I couldn't stop smiling. I found you because I my dream is to become a digital nomad (yes I know the downsides too) and now I have followed you on this wonderful journey. Can't believe two of my favorite CZcamsrs will be living next to each other!! Can't wait to see what comes next. Lots of Love.
Yes! I've never heard of you Nathan but this video came suggested on the home page today. You have added new seasoning to my day and I love the flavor! Following!
This story is so absolutely inspiring!!! Looking forward to being on this adventure with you
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
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 🙏🏽
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
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
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
You deserve it. So happy and grounded for you Nathaniel. Such an inspiring being
This is the most lit up I’ve ever seen you. Like 1000% more than through your videos through the years. I’m so happy for you! Bravo!
Nathaniel I am just so so happy for you! Have been a long time viewer. Thank you so much for the belief and example you offer in our ability to create our own futures and reinvent ourselves over and over
