My time in Mexico has come to an end. I’ve had incredible good fortune since the moment I stepped foot in this country. However, I feel like it's time to make a change and that is why I am leaving.
Thank you to everyone who played a role either in person or online. I’m being so unnecessarily dramatic right now but I don’t even care.

"OK SO I'M ON A FERRY RIGHT NOW."
Nathaniel Drew safe travels
IM ON A HORSE
Take care dude
I am a Fairy.
Buen viaje amigo :)
What the heck you're a beautiful person, in and out.
I wish I was too
cant agree more. he's attractive in so many ways 😆
Literally, the first thing that came to my mind, but everyone has insecurities whether they're beautiful or ugly in their own eyes.
My thoughts exactly lol
@@newearthwavegodlove That's quite true
Someone please tell him, that he left his camera in the apartment
😄
Matt left it too. It must be a thing youtubers do.
You are attractive AF. No need to be tall or athletic, you are beautiful inside and out.
hOW IS he nOT atHLETIC
LIAH!
Wow, Would you say the same to me ? I need a beautiful day.
@Allah is gay thats true, he has white privilege 🤣😁
@Allah is gay I disagree with your take on that there will always be bad people.Bad white people,Bad Asians,Bad Mexicans,Bad Indians,arabians,e.t.c. the opposite is true as well there will be good people in different cultures. There isnt an expectancy for character based on the pigment of your skin unless you have tunnel vision people will respond to your character not your skin color.
How on earth would you think about yourself that you were not attractive?
Look at you!! You are awesome!! Inside and out! ❤️
I know right!!!
Seconded,
@@jauxro thirddd :D
OMG, getting to watch a video from every week is like a blessing.. I get so inspired every time i watch YOUR videos.
You inspire me and many other Content Producers like myself to keep creating.. 🙏💙
Hey Nathaniel - just wanted to say I loved this video and can definitely relate to the feeling of having to top yourself with every new project or video while sticking to a rigid schedule. That's a pretty good descriptor of much of my time on UA-cam as well - any time I'd learn a new technique or make some crazy animation, I'd think that I had to use it in everything going forward or else I'd be failing people's expectations. It got pretty stressful.
I eventually learned that most of what I believed people expected of me was just a projection of my own unrealistic expectations, and getting past that has been really helpful. And after learning that, I can say that - at least from my experience - there's almost no downside to allowing an ebb and flow between really ambitious projects and more stripped-down ones (which often somehow become the most popular).
Anyway, I'm excited to see where you're headed next!
Hey, first of all thank you for watching. I'm really glad to hear that I'm not alone feeling this way. I really hope to find that balance you described moving forward. Keep doing your thing, your channel is awesome.
We are here no matter how often videos come🤗
And just wanted to say you are attractive 😉
"I'm starting to think that life is a cycle of being stuck until you're unstuck, till you're stuck again. And as much as anyone one of us would maybe wish it would be different, I think it's an inescapable part of being human." I've been sitting here just absorbing that particular wisdom for the last 10 minutes. Great stuff man.
It's crazy how much your face has changed in such a short period of time
you are still cute by the way ♥️
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and man, you are inspiring me to change my life and find a brand new perspective of things. I'm in the middle of my 20s and struggling to make sense after a break from a longlife belief system... Your videos are helping me to seek for creative ways to move on and be closer to my true self.
I don't know what kind of women you were aiming to be attractive for, but you are immensely handsome to anyone who is able to see your beautiful soul. No need to say you're phisically way too attractive. By the way, inteligence makes you hotter than the average.
Well, I'm talking too much here... lol. Keep the good work, Nate. I hope this new place brings the best out of you as always. 💟
Dude, just keep doing what you're doing. Your content is too good to be ignored, I know that more and more will take notice over time. Just keep exploring, finding yourself, and developing new hobbies or interests! I love your content, good luck to you 👍
You’re the ideal partner, friend, and person. I respect your craft and what you stand for. Whoever you spend your time with is truly blessed, and YOU’RE SUPER HANDSOME ❤️❤️❤️
Women standards have made him feel that he isnt attractive it’s hard for guys when girls set many expectations
Can't wait to see you grow even more! You've been a big inspiration in my journey! Best wishes!
Really honest and insightful video. Everyone struggles with comparison and the nagging feeling of needing to one-up yourself with every project we do. It’s awesome that you have such a keen self awareness and emotional intelligence, and that you were able to trace the origins of these feelings to a time when you felt insecure. Please know that you are enough just how you are, and that it’s wonderful that you know that your mental health always should take priority. Kudos to you for realizing what you need to push forward in your life and to take some weight off your shoulders. Your channel will only be stronger for it. Wishing you all the best in your new adventure! 😊✨✨✨
Nathaniel, I am so moved by this video, by the way you are taking care of your self and your creativity. You are so gifted and I think it's an inspiration that you are tending those gifts with such commitment. I come from a family of over-workers and I can tell you I am cheering you on, knowing that you will be happier, healthier and enjoy a longer career by finding your way to balance. Sending lots of good wishes for your new adventure.
The fact that you are self-aware is amazing. You recognize the problem and you choose not to ignore it. I wish you the best of luck on your journey :)
Thank you man! You give lot of beautiful recommendations. I've been living in France for a while and I've never feel attached to the country culture till i discover Bon entendeur the project that you shared in one of your videos thank you and I hope your share more od these hidden beauties about France. Good luck in your Journey
Sometimes I nod while watching you like we were having a conversation face to face. Really like the way you talk. It's honest and seems very personal. Makes me feel close to you.
I'm so excited to see how this move will affect you. I spent some time in Mexico last year (my family and I drove from top to bottom in three months in our van), but now I live in Poland and have since January. Your videos always made me miss Mexico, but I am looking forward to seeing this new country through your eyes.
And btw, I don't think you should worry about your height... a quality woman won't care. You deserve a quality woman.
Monica Herd I’ve struggled with height as a girl for years (I’m 5’10”) and I was actually told by a guy (who was taller than me) that guys don’t like tall girls. But, I’ve come to terms with my height and I don’t care if I end up with someone shorter than me because I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter.
And you’re right, Nathaniel is very handsome!
Hey Nathaniel, from a person who’s went from starting at 0, to working my ass off and growing something (and waking up absolutely loving it every day), to success that came faster and more violently than I ever could have expected... I’m now at a place where I don’t wake up with that excited feeling every day. Try not to lose that feeling because there’s no feeling like it. I’m trying to get it back.
Omg Nathan - I hope you realize now you’re absolutely charming
dude stoked for the new chapter! I think the amount of self-analysis that you put yourself through is something that I can relate to. Maybe an easy observation but it's probably going to a good shift for you making this move. Stoked to see the next chapter.
Have a safe trip i hope you find happiness in there as much as you did in mexico take care😊 Italia beautiful place
I am Glad that I found this channel, thank you Nathaniel.
Nathaniel, congrats with 400k subs, that's huge indeed. I followed you when you've had like 20k. You've made a major impact on me, my thoughts, values, and personality in general. From the beginning of 2019, I'm running through big changes in my life, dealing with all bad behaviors, negative surroundings, and negative people. Basically, this is the year I reinvented myself. And you helped me a lot with it. I'm so happy that I have access to the internet and the ability to seek new ideas and experiences from other people like you. Man, keep doing your thing, the content you create is golden.
Keep doing the great things you’re doing !! You motivated me a lot 🥰🥰❤️
Your message really resonates with me. I have changed country many times. The last time I did, I left Mexico city. I visited my favorite building in the city, the Palacio de Bellas Artes and moved to a little town in Italy.
I wish you find what you are looking for.
Thank you, Nathaniel. When you mentioned your work becoming directly linked to yourself, that triggered me intensely because I lived through the same experience where I was worried that I had nothing to compare to other people except the quality of my creative work, specifically in music. I spent years in a psychological torment, hiding myself away from the rest of the world because I tried to work so hard to prove myself and my self-worth. In many ways, I still live in this sort of torment, and I have to restrict myself from working in order to prevent myself from working so hard. Thank you for talking about this - it actually helped me realize how at some point, it gets better. Thank you.
One love, amigo. You motivate me in everyway. Keep doing you. Thanks for your videos.
I cannot tell you how much you've inspired me this last year. I've been unemployed and your perspective has been a welcome relief for me in oh so many ways. Please do not burn yourself out for the sake of productivity alone. You're doing all the right things. I really appreciate how candid you always are with us. Thank you 🙂
GRACIAS por ser parte de Mexico... thanks man, best of luck. Keep the hard work. Abrazo!
i’m currently at a crossroads in my life and i find myself coming back to your videos for solace. your words are the only ones relieving me of this anxiety and instead turning it into hope for the unknown.
Congrats for your decision.
I'm in 3rd year of my undergraduate course and your content really helped by to get better clarity about life and myself.
Watching your videos really motivated me to keep improving myself. Thank you so much man...
Your videos makes me think and reflect even days after watching them. It is not easy for me to be honest with myself, it hurts, and I see your journey and it is so beautiful. By being honest and opening up, you give me courage to live my life. Thank you, and I’m excited for your next chapter :)
I can't even put into words how much your channel and perspective means to me and I'm sure to many other subscribers too. I also allow my work to measure my worth, but I can tell even from not meeting you, that take all your work away, you're incredible inside and out. The content is just a massive bonus! So, thank you keep doing you!!!
The tone of your videos is comfortable. Looking forward to all to come in the right pace.
Respect the break buddy! You have delivered some terrific content and it is absolutely ok to take a break. Looking forward to your next content...
This really spoke to me man. Thanks for showing a part of your life that many don't. It's easy to edit out the frustrations and the sorrow that we all encounter every day, but seeing something real once in a while is very refreshing. Good luck, have fun along the way!
you are such a beautiful person -- inside and out!! thank you for your openness and vulnerability. It's a true reflection of your strength and courage. Wishing you all the best in many more new and exciting adventures!!
I think you have entered the next step in your journey, and the growth and new mindsets that come with it
you bring so much to your audience and I am grateful you have given me a structure of standard to hold myself up to
I remember I messaged you and told you what my plan is and like you, I am slowly, quietly reaching it, and your receptiveness really helped, I appreciate that.
not having the instant gratification is something one needs to get used to this day in age, but when you offer it up in the pursuit of finding yourself and your trueness, that is unparalleled
I hope you find the quiet solace you are seeking while still being able to bring so much positivity into our lives
be easy, Nate
my Light is guided by your Light
Namaste
I admire you. The way you express yourself is so captivating, and it's just nice listening to someone with the same views on languages and life as me. As someone who is still stuck in college and dying to get out and explore/live in different countries, I am living through your videos. Keep doing amazing!
You have so much wisdom. I am in awe with everything you say because you’re so well spoken and thoughtful in the words you speak that this society has lost. I love watching your videos and I aspire to become more thoughtful and wise from everything in life like you do. Thank you for the content you produce in a society that’s saturated with meaningless superficial drama. Thank you.
You are the best. Thanks for coming to Mexico and share a piece of our Country with the World. I wish you the best on your next adventure. Muchas gracias y hasta pronto. Esperamos pronto vuelvas a México 🇲🇽 esta vez a visitar otro estado, siempre serás bienvenido. Mucho éxito Nathaniel
I don't remember what video led me to seeing yours and then quickly subscribing but I'm glad it did. I dig your style and glad you're putting out the content you are. This video is just another example of that good content. Keep it up and good luck on your next adventure.
Best of luck, Nathaniel! And don’t worry about not being able to post weekly videos. I found them to be some of the most superb content I have ever found online. I definitely don’t mind waiting. Really. You’re an incredible human being. It takes one proud mom like me to recognize another proud mom ;)
I really admire your commitment to growth. Your mental well being impacts the content you create and I think I speak for all of us when I say that we just want you to be well. Keep up the good work!!
All changes are for a reason - *good* - for life is a constant flow, transforming energy from one state to another.
Your heart is overwhelmingly beautiful. Your insights have truly inspired me. I wish you harmony with yourself, as this should always a priority in each person's life journey.
Sorry to see you go man, honestly I’m kind of new on your channel, I arrived like a month ago when UA-cam recommended me the “A video for introverts “ footage, cause that’s certainly what I am, and trust me, content like yours is missing in my country, there’s a lack of mental health awareness, even though your videos are in English (Now I know you learned not only Spanish but Mexican slang quite well though) what I found totally engaging were your shots or time lapses of Mexican streets, people, monuments, places, food, etc, etc. The detail you display in your edition is insane. I follow other mental health content in English from other countries and it’s helpful to listen that stuff, but listening your thoughts while watching on screen the same things I see on a daily basis is simply priceless, cause I feel even more understood, I’m glad you surrounded yourself with the Mexican environment and shared your experience with us, I only enjoyed a few recent videos of you in my country but I’ll check out the older ones and of course follow your journey from now on, it’s a shame I arrived kinda late, but I don’t wanna be selfish, other places also are in need and deserve having someone like you spreading the word. Good luck man and...Nathan! Hermano! Ya eres Mexicano! 🇲🇽💪🏼
It also may cause for you to actually enjoy the project you are producing. Like actually living the moment that your filming. And it’s good to actually relive within you mind than seeing it through a camera. Your trying so hard to capture the moment through a lens for everyone else. That you fail to capture it yourself for you. And even through it would look amazing in camera. Even if you would feel 100% amazing that you captured that. You may not think of it at first but you will notice slightly you actually didn’t live the moment. At least this is how I have perceived most of before. I’ve been wanting to pick up the camera but now I forget. And now I’m looking to go back to those memories but have captured nothing on film or photos. So now it’s like necessary to find a balance. Blessing to you bro. Much respect.
Best of luck on your move. I wish you the best. I know from experience how easy it is to get sucked into things that we’re passionate about and have it somehow grow to the point where “it’s” needs start to outweigh your own. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and many blessings to you.
Starting a new adventure is a refreshing feeling. I hope you enjoy Italy! I absolutely loved living there 5 years ago. Italians are such passionate people. Good luck and I can’t wait to see your future videos! I’ll be patient when you don’t post as often :)
It was a pleasure to have you here in México!! Eres a toda madre!! Éxito donde quiera que vallas!!
Thanks Nathaniel for what you’ve brought about some original ideas and some mind clarity topics so far. Good luck wherever you go and we will absolutely be here for every single project and idea you’ll share.
From 2:12 onwards, I relate to you 100%. It's very easy to get sucked into thinking your work-ethic/work is quantifiable to self. I had to totally let go of my creative craft (that I honed for 7 years) as I invested such toxic amount of time quantifying my self-worth. Also which robbed off most of my teenage years' thrill. Hope you get to where you're going with peace, self-love and ease. 🙏🏼
man, YOU are inspiration for many people, including myself. Keep doing what you love to do and you’ll be surprised at how many will follow you 💜
Well said Nathaniel. Failure is essential, it's part of a journey that will make you grow and become more self-aware. Love your content, continue to document life.
Aw, esperaba poder encontrarte por ahí y decir hola. Pero estoy feliz de ver que fuiste feliz aquí, de que te estás cuidando más y te estás esforzándo para seguir creciendo. Gracias por compartir el viaje con nosotros
You’re an inspiration to us all! Living life on your terms takes courage and we support you 100%. Good for you, friend! Thank you for your candor and I wish you all the best in your next endeavor! You will shine!
I don’t think you understand how your soothing words and insight makes you so attractive to me. I can’t express how your videos calm me and speak to me. A lot of my thoughts are put forth into words and visuals by you. Good luck with your next chapter and take all the time you need.
aww haha lil nathaniel exploring, I love the personal stories btw it's nice to see how others have grown :)
That's a huge life changing move for sure!
Good luck in the future and I'm hyped for the new project!
What a beautiful way to end your time in Mexico, I’m looking forward to your next adventure. Your videos are so inspiring and I’m always learning something from them, call me cheesy but I can listen to you speak All day.
Good luck! I feel inspired by the fact you stepped out of your comfort zone again.
Saludos desde Madrid x)
I'm so glad for this video, I tought I was the only one struggling like this right now. I had to take a leave at work very recently because I gave too much, but not take anytime for myself, and my brain got really sick. Never take it that far.
This is gonna be really good for you, you'll see. Good luck in this new adventure.
BTW, your soul makes you look gorgeous. And you are very much attractive.
Miss the taste of the Mexico that will still creates a good memorable in our memories, thanks for such an adventure in your amazing travel -- hope, confidence, trust, patience, inspiration, motivational, inner peace ...
Nat, I hope you really enjoyed your time in Mexico. Would have liked to meet you, since we live in Mexico City, and show you some interesting places here. Maybe next time you come back. I'm sure you discovered and learned many things in this country, and somehow we'll be in touch because we will continue watching your videos. I wish you all the best for your next projects!
Hey buddy,
First of all, thank you for your videos. I've been following you since you blew up and the way you talk and create content gives me a lot of peace of mind plus I enjoy your perspective and how detailed you are. I understand what you explained about yourself and I have some advice too, in case you read this comment. I think that part that you are missing out, that makes you feel "not attractive" and links your soul with the result of your work is the lack of physical activity (among some other personal stuff that no one knows but you of course). I don't know if you do (or have done) any proper sports like some kind of martial arts, calisthenics or crossfit. It might sound "too Chad" but trust me when I tell you that involving yourself in a physical activity that takes you out of your comfort zone and makes you feel like you're reaching your body limits can become an interesting way to grow personally too. Don't understimate the simple power of physical activity and the bond you can create between the sport and you, your master and you or your sportmates and you. This is a good way to remind ourselves that we are still humans so we can spend a whole day recording, editing and managing social media but ending that day (or starting it) by sweating, using your body in a smart way and giving a great rest to your mind that will allow you to have a wider perspective day by day.
This comment has just an honest intention to help or give you some feedback, since you dedicate your life to help others I think it's interesting that we also take care of you.
If you want to talk about this or whatever feel free to hit me up on Instagram @renezz or straight to my email address: reneolmoponte@gmail.com
I'm not a coach or anything. Just a friend.
Have a good day everyone
I really love your videos, I live in Mexico too and have the same insecurity about being short but I can realize that a lot of people struggle with that, regards and success!
You are fucking awesome. I love your work ethic, your lifestyle and your videos just get me so pumped up. Never feel like you aren't good enough because if you aren't them I don't know what to feel about myself
Dude. I’m 20, in college, also learning, also realizing so many of the same things as you constantly. Learning already not to push myself so hard, that I need time to recuperate - that simply doing what’s good for me isn’t enough when I need the time to mess up and be emotional and not on such a rigid schedule. I found you through learning languages. I agree with a lot of your views and appreciate what you do, fella.
You have some very deep insights into life in this video that I think everyone can learn from. Good luck on the next leg of your journey!
I'm really glad you shared your story because not only is it relatable but also inspiring. I wish you the best in your next adventure!
Looks like the best people come out of the hardships and pain. Hope you find your balance between life and work + you gain a refreshed point of view on yourself!
Nathaniel, thank you so much for this video! As a mental health content creator, who had to once again push the break hard, this video really helped me to change my perspective. I'm pacing myself for the many years to come. Thank you!! Truly! Good luck on your next adventure!
best of luck man, excited to see how much you grow :)
Man thank you for sharing and being vulnerable about that topic of having work ethic define who you are, that resonated with me deeply. Keep producing this awesome content man! I love following your journey and seeing each and every way you learn, grow, and that you share those experiences with us!
I just abseloutly love every single video, you're so authentic and raw and I relate so much to your stories, so for that thank you so much 🌸
so proud of you! also, thank you for sharing your personal growth with the world, for as you know it is not easy to do. I cannot wait to see what's next! :)
Wow. Wish you the best for the future man. I really like your work and your dedication, but it doesn't matter if you want to slow down a little bit. Your life is much more important. Love from Italy ❤️🇮🇹
Thank you Nathaniel for your videos. These days, they are the ones that I always enjoy to watch. I think everyone goes through a difficult phase when we are teenagers. I don’t know what you’ve been through during these years but what I can tell you is that you’ve turned to a great person who takes care of himself, tries to understand and improve who you are, and that’s absolutely marvellous.
When I see you, I think falling in love with you shouldn’t be too difficult.
I’m sure you will find someone great to share your life with !
This video really hit home. Wow I needed it, thank you for your honestly and willingness to grow, change, and evolve with the changing seasons of life. It inspires me to do the same!
Wow... I just recently subscribed to your channel and you are totally an inspiration to me. I’m going to be 38 in a few months and I’ve had a change of heart from place to place since I was 17 yrs old. I have to say being in LA as long as I’ve been has been the longest, sometimes I definitely feel it’s time for another change. However, I also wonder if maybe I’m too old to keep jumping from place to place. Watching this really makes me want to pick some place in Mexico to live because I love that country, the people, the food, everything it has to offer. I feel like I’m stuck right now. I also recently experienced a breakup (it was short lived but it really affected me) that I guess has me feeling like I need to start fresh. Somewhere new. Idk what to do or how to go about this. Thanks for your update, wishing you luck wherever your next destination is.
I think many of us, if not all, see you/your work as living art. You are an awesome artist. You have inspired. And watching what comes next with you is like unlocking potential within myself. You emanate how to accept who you are with confidence even though you say you struggle with that. AND, I would have had no idea what your height is if you had not shared it. Value comes from being a person, not a tall, short, thin, heavy, male, female, scarred, flawless, young, old person, but just by being a person. “You is kind. You is smart. You is important.” The Help
I relate to this so much. Best of luck on your new pursuits.
Nathan, thank you for sharing you personal story with your insecurities. You truly inspire me A LOT. Life is all about living and you are doing that, by being in Mexico, making these amazing videos, and breaking cycles by changing your environment, it really creates this atmosphere of change and that’s really motivating for all of us as viewers! I would love to meet you one day and thank you in person because your videos bring a smile to my face and I’m happy to have the same name as you! -Nathan 😁
You are so articulate & creative at such a young age. Your videos are beautiful. They will continue to be so, space & imperfection too. Next.. or soon.. Portugal! No idea with the visuals, just intuition.
So much respect to you for giving yourself the freedom to not post weekly, if need be. People need breaks. You're a great human, my dude. You more than deserve it.
Honestly, I don't think anyone who actually appreciates the value you bring to the table will have a problem with that. The heads up is incredibly courteous of you too.
Thank you for being real. Your work is meaningful. It brings me genuine joy to hear your thoughts, your concerns, your dreams. I always feel like I can grow from watching and reflecting on your videos. That shit is ridiculous. An absolute blessing. I'm rooting for you all the way Nathaniel.
With much love and admiration from Minneapolis, MN,
i'm sure as hell going to miss the weekly videos. but i'm definitely looking forward to what's coming next for you! thank you for sharing glimpses of your life with us. :)
Every second of your videos is gold, both images and the content of the audio.
Thank you for your honesty in this video, it is much more needed than you think and it feels right to see other people insecurities I can relate to (hi the height 👋).
Honestly, you are very motivating and inspiring admitting all of this, thank you for that and have a good fresh start!
We'll go with you wherever country you go! All the support for your videos, you helped me a lot with my thoughts and the perspective to see things in life!!
I’m so happy I discovered your yt channel, I’m so happy that a person outside of Mexico can speak so dearly of it, wish you the best, thank you for loving Mexico ♥️
Keep up the good work, and remember to take care of yourself, you really inspire me and a lot of people
Thank you so much for you sharing, and through the experience may you find what's most important for you.
Wow, thank you very much for this video. I had no idea I needed it so much. As I’m going to change completely my environment in near future for the very first time in my life, my excitement became anxiety and panic. You video helped stay on track of experimenting, wanting more and being focused on a bigger goal. Thank you.
Oh and good luck, have fun on your journey!
I admire you.Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm looking forward to what's to come!
You are so ahead of your time, is very inspiring to watch. Thanks for inspiring me and many others. Can’t wait to continue to see your growth, and please take your time, you are a human being ❤️❤️❤️ good luck on your next journey
Hey man, thank you! Your videos are very refreshing! The best notification ever! All the best from Brazil!
