I grew up in the french countryside, in the middle of nowhere. South-west of France, between millions of maritime pines. When you're young, it sucks. Then I moved to the big cities to study at the university and find better jobs. Now that I am older and a father, I miss the countryside. I miss the smell of trees, the birds, the quietness, the local food, slow living, etc.

I'm going to add a warning to this. We share the same childhood, and same early-adulthood, and I did make the move to the countryside now with my kid. You still do need a network of people to be around. This life, alone, can be alienating. I'm only starting to make friends in the village after 3 years, and those years were the loneliest of my life. We did have the birds, the quietness, the smell of trees. But without friends and family to share it with, and the fact that you can only still enjoy those on the weekends but still have to work full time sucks. The retiree life is cool when you do have the time and friends. Otherwise, it's just a nicotine patch.

@@wge621 I agree. Living in London for 25 years but relationships were based around work, clubs and societies. It’s a difficult place to make true friendships, especially if like me you are self-employed. Being back in the mountains I’m far more busier with so many events being held. I’m also setting up my own homestead to grow my own food. And if life does become stressful then I can walk to a waterfall and de-stress or walk to the top of the mountains.

I bought a house in the French countryside 24 years ago before I was living full-time in France. It's in a village with a population of 40 (and perhaps 200 sheep). My relationship to cities has morphed into what you found with Paris. Go there for a little dose of urban life, culture and amenities, then get out! Coming home always feels like such a balm to the soul.

One of my favourite things to do is road trip through he French countryside with my mum. We're lucky that it's accessible by road from the UK so we load up with all we need and just journey through lots of small towns and villages. Away from cities, the roads are so quiet and clean. It feels like an idyllic reset for my brain. I hope you enjoy this new venture! IT's always nice coming across someone who appreciates rural France.

It's funny how almost all the KZbinrs I follow are in this transition period, from being full time travellers to, settling down, marrying, having kids or slowing their lives down. From city kids to desiring some peace and tranquility in life.... Maybe it is a sign we are growing up and have a better understanding of what really is important. At least for me there is nothing more important than enjoying silence and tranquility. Also craving a piece of land in the mountains closer to nature. Is in my near future! Enjoy your journey!

My grandparents came from a tiny village just outside Lussan, France. I spent most summers with them and fell in love with the peace, the calm, the quietness and of course the natural beauty of the region. My siblings hated visiting for all the reasons I loved so for many years its was just me and the grands. They have been gone a long time and my mother sold the house and land. If I could have afforded to buy it I would have done so in a second. Thanks for sharing your story - it made me long for those days - my brain and body seek out the calm and peace once again.

I feel the same way about life in the city. For years I dreamed of living in San Francisco, it was so much fun to visit and play in. But after spending time with friends who actually lived in the city, it was clear that the little spark of excitement fizzles when you face the realities of day to day life. Congrats on making the transition. Hope you get to soak in all that sweet nature.

absolutely! cities that are fun to visit arent usually the ones nice to live in. NYC is a nightmare to live in but so much fun. same with London (although not a nightmare so much as it's just unaffordable for the vast majority). Now I'm in LA and I find it a good balance. I wouldn't recommend it to visit unless you just want to see the beautiful weather, but the parts that make it a poor visit (too spread out, can't do much in a day/week) make it a good abode! for me at least

I cry when I have to come back to the US to my big city, even though I love my city and my family that lives there. This video makes me long for my quiet, peaceful life in the south of France. I pray that one day soon I will be able to treat my city like chocolate cake.

In love with this new chapter of your life. Ceci y Josh con su mítico "Yay" y las variantes de los bloopers, para morirse de risa. Amazing video, Nathaniel, your inspiration and happiness shines through!!! :D

Nathaniel, That was extraordinary! It seems your art, both in storytelling and cinematography, is constantly reaching new heights. I am 65 and relate completely to this entire landscape that is the mood and emotions of craving a change. I left the USA in 2022 and built a brand new life for myself just north of Guatemala in MX. Your beautiful talent for sharing your life with depth and authenticity is an incredible gift to all of us, and you remind me (uncannily!) of my oldest son. I adore your parents too, and am still patiently awaiting a new video from them as well. 😉😉 Thank you for all the blood, sweat, and tears you shed to make these amazing videos.❤️💙🇲🇽🇫🇷

Bravo, Nathaniel. While the next whistle stop may not toot its horn for you forever, and while others might continue to push back that you should stay at each stop, wherever you drop your bags and regardless for how long, they’re lucky to have you. ❤

I started out with your parents and love them! I have seen you in their videos and now in your own. When you broke out into song it also became love too. I love the passion! When you said something about trying to figure out and make decisions about the “rest of your life” I thought that this might be an enduring problem. You mustn’t think that you should usurp your future self. Provide for your future indeed but always keep freedom in every stage of your life. It is an incongruity that you would think such a thing now as you are exercising life-changing freedom. I have entered my eight decade and have laid all of the groundwork for an international move to somewhere I have never been and never expected. The new house will be completed in May and I await getting the residency visa. I can’t imagine living now according to decisions made 10, 20, 30, or more years ago but I do thank the ability and freedom now afforded by things done then. I look forward to following your adventures.

Hi! I understand you very well. I lived in various big cities for 16 years of my life. I became very anxious and depressed. Too much stimolation and felt lonely at the same time. I am now living in the countryside since 2019, and I am very relaxed and happy. I never feel alone. I feel deeply that I belong to mother nature.

I mostly grew up in the countryside in the US. Moved to the city after college because that’s where the jobs were these days. I think when you’re young, you want to live in the cities but I feel like the older one gets, the more the countryside calls to you. At least, those who grew up experiencing it.

Je commente jamais, mais c'est juste incroyabe ! C'est dur de trouver du contenu en rapport avec la France en Anglais et là tu me donnes ce combo avec en prime un focus hyper important sur notre culture. Continue !

Pour avoir grandi dans un village jusqu’à partir à Paris pour étudier en uni, je te comprends ! J’ai grandi avec l’habitude d’être dans un lieu paisible, entouré par la nature, les forêts, les montagnes, les oiseaux, la beauté de la rosée du matin,… En arrivant à Paris pour la première fois, j’avais déjà du mal à dormir avec la pollution sonore constante en ville. J’ai certes énormément profité de la ville dans mes débuts mais j’ai fini par prendre une pause pour me recentrer sur moi-même et l’essentiel. ❤️

I'm loving your storytelling so much. The expectation vs reality part is amazing. I always wish that creators can show us "some" bad things that happen in their lives. It inspires us the viewers who look up to you guys to know that you guys are human and your lives still have challenges like ours. We are not total losers. Life's a bit difficult for everyone at some point.

You speak the words of the soul and what we all think but don’t always have the courage to share. You’re allowing us to reconnect with ourselves, needs and desires. Please keep putting these videos, France is also my biggest inspiration for just about everything in life. I have the biggest wish to visit the south and you help me reach that dream. Merci beaucoup!

So glad you are back to making videos. We lived in the French village of Noyers-sur-Cher for a year and then out in the country in Mareuil-sur-Cher for another year and loved it. Can’t wait to hear more about your journey!
