"I am not a person who is into pop culture..." I find this so refreshing! Thank you for not getting into the gossip.

It always surprises me when people ask such a question about your accent, you handled it well. I like your accent it’s very soothing and calm.

Nicholas, your genuineness is not wasted on all your KZfaq friends and admirers. Thank you for being you and we’re cheering for your continued success and happiness.

Nicholas, the minute you stop “looking” for that special someone, they fall right into your lap. Just enjoy your life and it will come.

I do believe that age and maturity increases the odds of finding someone special. Often younger people are still discovering who they are and experimenting with many relationships. I met my fiancée on a gay web site. Instead of seeing vulgar pictures of one’s anatomy, Bruce had pictures of his gardens. I fell in love with him and 8 years later we are still together.

Living life on your terms is a wonderful trait to have.

Eloquent, elegant, enchanting, effervescent and elusive man.

I love how composed and honest you are about yourself.from Kenya 🇰🇪

8:14 AGREE!!! That’s why I watch your program. I love to watch things that are uplifting, humorous, educational and wholesome as well. I’m so weary of problems in the world be they political or social. I don’t find someone else’s problems entertaining at all.👍🏾

Nicholas, you are such a lovely human being. I love your accent and your whole lifestyle. I hope the best for you in all your endeavors. It is so hard to find that person that fits in. It is a very important aspect that you get along in all the things that bring your life happiness. 🌻🐕🇺🇸

My daughter (29) and I (71) are both enthusiastic subscribers. We discussed your new format versus the original and both enjoy this hybrid. You are a creator, a superb curator and editor and what used to be known as a taste maker. I’ve always admired your openness and willingness to share both perfection and the occasional foibles of reality. We are scratch cooks and have incorporated several of your offerings into our monthly rotation and are DIYers as well and so appreciate watching your projects start to finish. With Gratitude- Z

One of the reasons I love your video's is your calming voice. It's so welcomed in today's world of chaos. Your beautiful home is the other. I've gotten so many decor inspirations from seeing your gorgeous settings! I agree with you on surrounding yourself with people who bring you joy, especially into your home. I have a belief and personal rule, no toxic people or situations. My home is my sanctuary and where I find my peace and contentment.

Your gift is that you make your audience feel at home as you invite us into your world and that would resonate regardless of the accent you possess! I worked retail at Tiffany & Co. and I spent four years working with some of the best professionals, however, it did ugly within "the little blue box". From the day after Thanksgiving to December 24 it was 6 days a week, 7:00AM to 10:00PM, quotas tripled as sales personnel started to snip at each other and poach customers. Lines of customers waiting to be serviced were three to four deep and they were not always kind to one another or us, and Christmas Eve was the worst because I knew more than half of the impulse buys that many of "last minute" shoppers purchased were coming back the day after Christmas and we had to turn that return into another sales opportunity. With that said, those few days really tested one to exercise "grace under pressure" and what I learned handling those experiences I called upon many times in my career!

Let me tell you that you are not selfish for living your own life. . I think you are brave and independent. So many people want to live differently and don' t find the courage to do it. Thank you for being you

As a librarian from Boston, Massachusetts in the USA I needed to adopt a neutral accent. We dropped our letter r in the old days, as an example. It can wreak havoc in trying to answer reference questions via phone. Oh, one more problem would be turning one syllable words into 2 syllables, I.e. hair becomes hay-ah. 😀

It's very easy to pick up various accents when you're so well travelled. I'd say you've got a cosmopolitan accent, and it's a delight to listen to :)

I grew up in Dunoon, Scotland. 100% agree. I naturally mimic accents to be understood. I live in the South of the US, and yes, you should hear me say "Bye" and "Y'all" LOL

Why would anyone question your accent? Such an odd thing to ask. To me you are a very genuine person!

Hi, Nicolas! First of all, you are NEVER boring! When Sunday afternoon/evening comes, I grab my tablet, hit the KZfaq icon, and there you are! I hope you find the right man to make your life complete. Until then, you have all of us to send you our love! 😘

When I scroll through the KZfaq comments, I would say that 99.9% are positive and supportive. Everyone loves Nicolas.

I like your accent. I don't think we Americans are as concerned with "origin stories" and keeping people in their place. Most Americans are constantly reinventing themselves, no questions asked. As long as you are honest about your background, and you always are, whose business is it? I grew up in a working class New York family and though neither of my parents had a "New York" accent, some of my family developed it. I made a conscious effort to adapt a softer, mid-Atlantic accent and I've stuck to that. No one ever questions it.

When I was a young woman we were encouraged to speak perfect English in order to make ourselves understood clearly so many of us went to Elocution lessons. Unfortunately many people interpreted this as snobbery and now accents are encouraged but personally I do struggle to understand some of them as you rightly say.

My dear friend Nicolas 🌻 It saddens my heart to know people make accusations/judgements against you. Your kind and gentle character matches your philosophy and way of life, though we are worlds apart I truely pray you find someone who loves and appreciates absolutely everything about you 🥰🌻 sending you much love and support .x

Hahaha the telephone voice! My mother used to go very Queen Elizabeth when she answered the phone. My accent is now slightly more Australian than it was as a child, because I would be accused of putting on a British accent when in fact I was speaking the same as my entire extended family. 🇦🇺

Kudos Nicholas. I like that you are not interested in all the social media drama. I find you very generous and humble in expressing your desires and being real. Not many people know how to do this. I truly enjoy your channel and hope that you continue to be happy with your choices. We pass through this life only once. You are correct to live & share the life that makes you happy.

This was a wonderful time spent learning more about you. It’s amazing really that I’m 67 and single and I think the way you do in so many ways. You are a delightful young man. I would have loved someone like you in my younger years. Heck, I’d love someone like you now in my later years! Much love, Nicolas from Canada 🇨🇦❤️

There is a difference between being a people pleaser vs simply being a pleasurable person. Avoiding unnecessary problems vs going out of your way to make others happy (sometimes even at your own experience) are not the same.

I grew up in the south in the US. When I moved to the north in Ohio I was teased so much I consciously focused on not having any accent. People were brutal.

I’m a Birmingham girl. When I was young I talked very much like you do now around one set of Grandparents as they wouldn’t allow the accent in their home. I loved your video at your sisters house where there was a brummie twang to your voice. Like you once I’m around family my accent comes back 😃

What a thoroughly decent young man xxx

I enjoyed your "newsy" Q and A today. Keep up that beautiful accent and soothing voice!!

Nicolas it's so nice to to know that you have a road map. I believe, many people today feel they don't know what they want, or even know their needs, feel very insecure and many don't even want to commit themselves to any type of responsibility. Personally like your clear understanding of what you want from life and relationships. Follow your dreams and confidence will bring you to a very happy destination.

Nicolas, Don't you worry about your accent or voice! You are what we call in the US a "class act"!! You strike me as a good person - very well balanced, intelligent and professional. And I agree, you are very kind!!! I also love your sense of style!! I could spend hours studying your home!!!

I completely understand why you “changed” your accent. I was born & raised in central Massachusetts where the letter “r” didn’t exist 😂. People would mock our accent with sayings such as “Pahk the caah in Haahvad yahd” (instead of Park the car in Harvard yard). So, when I became 18 I also began to make an effort to improve my pronunciation for businesses opportunities and to just be better understood. I felt funny at first thinking friends would think I was trying to be pretentious but nothing could be further from the truth. Good for you. You sound absolutely mahhvelous dahling!!! Love your vids.

I lived the the New York City area for 18 years. Then I moved to Washington D.C. for about 10 years and then to Atlanta Ga for 20 years. I have no more northern accent unless I am around other Northerners. I do not have a Southern accent, however I do use some Southern phrases. Completely understandable!

Another lovely video. And a brave and open one. Thank you Nicolas! I was last week in Edinburgh and went for a cup of tea in Howdah, a shop you recommended many videos ago. I have been buying tea from them and shipped home since your video. It was such a pleasure to have a cup of tea and a delicious vegan macaroon there. Thank you for the tip! If you have more tips for places to visit in Edinburgh that would be lovely… I missed your Sophie in this video. Hope she is well! Love to both of you, Heidi. X

Your beautiful voice/accent was one of the first things that I was mesmerized about . . . so very pleasant and comforting! I think I admire you more and more. Your videos are some of the best I've seen. Thank you for being a kind, creative, and fun person - we need more people like you in the world! Much love to you.

Thank you so much for speaking in such a nice and clear way. As a non native English speaking I really apreciate It. You are a creative, brave, lovely and kind person. A truly inspiration for me

You'll meet your future boyfriend through the friends that you want them to be comfortable around, mark my words. When you're looking for someone, look in their natural habitat. You won't go to the Westboro Baptist Church to find someone queer. Same, you won't find the kinda vibe you're describing in a nightclub. But you will find the person IN the vibe you're describing, so most likely a friend of a friend of a friend that you'll be introduced to at an event or a dinner or a just a social evening. Have your friends be on the lookout, I'm sure they'll manage to find friends who have candidates!

This was a wonderful video, Nicolas. Your family of course wants you near them, but more than that they want you to be happy and fulfilled, doing what you love to do, living where you want to live, and truly being yourself. If you are doing that, then your family will truly be proud of you.

It’s not selfish to move away from your family to pursue a career. I’m sure they understand. You can always visit, your only 45 minutes away via airplane! I’m about 1.15 hrs from my parents & 30 mins from my husbands, it has worked out great. We used to be around 13 hours away. I love hearing any kind of English, Irish or Scottish accent. You sound lovely to me! You might try being set-up by people you know, it worked for me. I’ve been happily married for 26 yrs.

The USA a is a huge country, with literally hundreds of accents, including many from NYC alone. Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan. All different accents. But, if you are going into a career involving speaking publicly, a certain accent is definitely more salable. People work hard at changing certain accents simply because it will get them further in their careers. This is commonplace and should not matter to anyone. Hopefully, we all end up sounding the way we want. Nicholas you sound just fine, articulate and easy to listen to. End of story.

Calming part of the day. As a 66 year old woman just wanted to reiterate how lovely it is to connect with you through your videos. Just live your life. As T Swift says “and the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate”. Just shake it off. ❤️🥰

Your honesty is heartening. Thank you from New York. I hope people are kind to you and each other. Be safe. I appreciate you putting yourself out there. I couldn’t do it. Also you seem very fun. Happy summer!

Your dating situation is so common. My son, who is also gay, can’t find a relationship. Everyone he meets on dating sites do not want to have conversations or relationship. He’s 28 and an accountant and is also very ambitious. I have told him how lovely you are haha. I hope you both find a very wonderful person to spend your lives with 😘

I truly appreciate you saying that you choose to focus on things that bring you joy and positivity! Me, too! You radiate good energy and a gentle spirit! ❤

Love love love your chanel and love these kind of videos cause we get to know you better! Keep up the good work Nicolas! Sending u lots of love from Greece

I just love receiving notifications of your videos. We can recognize your style for design and life quality, but when I listen to your opinions about different issues, I realize how much you are a respectful person. Congratulations for being a human like this in our times. Greetings from Brazil 💖

Nicolas I think your delivery is authentic, and I enjoy your content. thank you for doing what you do.

I love this! As always. 💖 I love learning more and more about you. You are so charming and elegant. 🥰

Thank you Nicolas. You are my English teacher. I am French (not to good in English language) when you're speaking, I understand and I progress. Merci Nicolas👏

Absolutely loved this, funny, honest, informative all at the same time. I found myself smiling all the way through. Cheered me up on a miserable day in Aberdeenshire! Thank you.

People need to just mind their own business instead of trying to call out others who are causing no harm. You are awesome and we are behind you all the way (to the top!) Thank you for taking us along on the journey.

So much enjoyed this! We learned more about you! Please do more of these.

“Why don’t you want to date?” That was hilarious. Seriously. Relationship is much better than one night stand. I also find that you are so sweet saying you don’t revel in people’s misery. Even if they are celebs and their lives are often widely exposed, they still deserve respect and privacy. I’m glad you are not laughing and entertained by their lives.

I moved to France from California at age 36. Kids, life, hubs .. went back every year (5-6 weeks) with kids so they could know their large family (10 cousins!) and speak more English. Then in August 2020, daughter 27, and son-in-law moved from France to Atlanta nearby one of her Aunts. I've always encouraged my children to travel and even expect them to move away. I know they love me and nowadays there's WhatsApp and other social media. And planes ... Traveling is so educational and opens the eyes & the soul and sometimes the heart. So not good when family/friends make one feel inadequate or guilty for moving away. Alysen

I'm from Wales...know what it's like having to talk slowly, repeat yourself constantly...apparently it changed after living in Brighton 😄

I love your accent. I think I've improved mine listening to you. Thanks a lot.❤

I came across your videos when I was planning a ladies afternoon tea with my friends. You drew me in with that calm, refreshing voice. I really enjoy your videos, so insightful but you Nicolas are an absolute breath of fresh air!!

oh what a refreshing video you have made. Believe me when I tell you that I am about as opposite from you in many ways as one could be, but clearly your kindness, honesty, and creativity have drawn me to your channel. I do appreciate your brand and style and thank you.

I love your accent. I also love the fact that you made an effort to be better understood . The fact that you care whether people can understand you is a lovely personality trait to have. Too many people just think they talk the way they talk and then get upset when others struggle to understand them, which is just plain stupid.

Love your honesty and hope you find someone who will be a goood fit!

I loved hearing your responses to these questions! So genuine and sweet. I loved hearing your views on so many subjects.

It's really cool that your subscribers are intrigued with you Nicolas. You seem like a very nice person. As you get more famous, be sure and keep things in perspective. You are doing great! :)

Thank you. I enjoyed your explanations. I enjoyed a friendship of 40 years with a man who could often finish my sentences as I could his! We also seemed to have unspoken ways of communicating our desires to leave events or stay etc. He passed 5 years ago. You made me remember that the key was Friendship First. Best of luck with all your desires. A subscriber in Florida.

This is exactly how my pronunciation developed. As a teenager I left my native speaking area and adapted over the years. In order to have a good pronunciation in English, I took the Queen as my language teacher and listened to her speeches and learned the perfect pronunciation. I always get compliments these days. So the Queen was a good teacher. Your pronunciation is just as clear and probably accent-free. If I come to the home of my childhood there is a relapse 😄

Nicholas-- you are a beautiful soul, who brings much needed beauty into this world. The timbre of your voice and speech reflect that. Just keep being you.

I really enjoy getting to know you more personally. Your family most be very proud of you. I wish you all the very best in all aspects of your life.

Love accents can hear different accents all day! I like you even more, I don’t follow any news and also don’t consider myself an ignorant for not knowing what goes on in the world. I just love to hear more of positive things, more things that inspire me to be a better person!

Dearest Nicolas. I'm so glad I watched this. I usually skip Q&As, but I decided not to skip this one. I learned some wonderful things about you and what I suspected is that you attempt a _balanced_ approach to life and that may be why you exude confidence and happiness. At 32 years young, that's a wonderful place to be. You have many decades of fulfillment ahead. I hope I can witness more of it. I'm more than double your age, but see that your life skills are way ahead of mine at your age even now.

Really appreciate and enjoying getting to know you better. Nicholas you are a lovely young Gentleman, continue doing what you enjoy & having fun and a relationship will find you! You are a Treasure waiting to be discovered by a like minded Gentleman who shares the same core values. All the best, David & Timmy 🇨🇦

I absolutely love the way you speak … it’s so clear, smooth, and relatable!!!

Nicholas keep going! One day big love will come to you 💝

I love you even more after this video..you deserve a person who will appreciate you for the special guy you are,,ty for all the and a

You are so pleasant and seem to be a genuine person and I love watching you for that reason. Thank you for always being honest and presenting yourself in such a wonderful way. ❤

What a genuine, nice guy you are. I'm from the USA, so I just thought you had simply cultivated your speech to be fancy and refined! My grandmother was always big on enunciating and speaking carefully, neither of which I do to this day; but I appreciate the effort. It's nice to see someone living intentionally; that takes a lot of courage. Keep up the good work!

This is such a great video Nicolas! Partly because it's interesting to hear your take on yourself and what you're about, but also as I'm a gay son who moved away to search for adventures elsewhere despite loving my family very much. I can also relate to your accent changes. I had (and often still have!) a fairly strong Manchester accent, but I live in Barcelona and don't have any Manc friends here, so I've had no choice but to soften my accent. It's true what you say, it just happens! Great Q&A and good luck with the romantic side of things. I can certainly relate to that too! 😀

I like your personality, you’re so lovely 🥰

I love your accent-don’t give it another thought. It’s very charming and lovely to listen too! Being accommodating and not confrontational is so much easier and kinder to yourself as well as others. I am that way myself-not so much a people pleaser, but one who chooses to let things pass-harboring ill feelings hurts you more than the person causing the problem. Continue being you! 🥰😊

Bringing your kindest self to interactions with friends and loved ones is not weak. I like that trait. It does make the world a better place.

Oh Nicolas you have such a beautiful accent. I find your videos lovely to look at and I am enjoying the whole outdoor garden transformation.

I wish you all the best Nicolas❣️🙋🏼‍♀️

You are a strong young man who knows what you want in your personal life. Good for you, hold out for the right personal match. I admire your confidence.

I applaud you knowing what you want for yourself and your life. So many of us wander around in a wilderness. Never aologise for who you are. You are unique and deserve the life you are striving towards. Lovely to hear from you as always.

You should continue to believe in yourself and not change for others because when you do it’s the beginning of “losing who you are”

Loved this catchup chat.♥️

Another amazing video, always a delight to listen to you, love your honesty, gentleness and kindness, everything else is a bonus! I do so hope you meet your tall dark and handsome man.... you deserve only the best, you are just so very special and should be shared. Probably the right one will come when you're not looking for him. LOVED this video so much, thanks a mil xx

I enjoy every episode of your posts. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, a phone voice! I understand that and have one myself.

Lovely to see you again! Interesting questions!

I really appreciated what you said about not wanting to focus on other people's problems and gossip. Good for you!

Wonderful video Nicholas! So nice to get to know more about you. I love how honestly you answered all those questions. Your such a sincere and lovely person 💕

Hi, Nicholas.I love your gentle and calm way of speaking. Q and A seems to be talking to a friend, and it gives me a lot of affinity.I relaxed over a cup of tea and watched your video.Have a wonderful day this week!

How can someone as smart, handsome and sweet as you not have been taken already? Any man would be lucky to have you.

thank you so much for opening up to us. enjoyed hearing about your journey.

I appreciate the clarity you have when speaking, since english is not my first language, and I really enjoy your videos.

I think you are incredibly brave to pursue the life you know you want even if it means disappointing others. To me following your heart is not selfish, it is necessary.

Re: Living away from your family. Yes, you might have regrets later but it’s always better to have regrets for doing what you thought was right than living with remorses for not having tried it. ❤

Once again, you are ever charming, playful, and very detailed in sharing whatever interesting facts you are sharing about your life-this time answering personal questions. I enjoyed hearing about your previous jobs and traveling. Your ideal man for your next relationship sounds like someone we could all hope to find, especially regarding the emotional intelligence. That is a big one for me. Wishing you much happiness from Northern California. 💜

Thanks for this Q&A, Nicholas. It is always enjoyable to learn more about you.
