My name is Jay Swanson – I’m an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa and hoping to make the city of light my home base – at least for the foreseeable future. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much.

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? Over five years now, holy cow.

What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS

You’re always talking about living on some ship. WHAT SHIP? – I made a “Draw My Life” video that explains a lot here: https://youtu.be/-MrvL37jTKM

Where are you from originally? – Pullman, Washington – a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).

What do you film with? – I’ve made a lot of changes recently, but I try to keep my gear list up to date if you want to see what I use and buy some for yourself: http://bit.ly/JaysGearList

What do you edit with? – Adobe Premiere – it’s pretty much all I’ve ever used since high school.

Aren’t you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? – Yep. But not too badly – I tend to be careful when I do.

Why are you living in #Paris? – Because I’ve always wanted to; I feel at home here: https://youtu.be/4Vivf6MqMxQ

Do you speak French? – Oui. https://youtu.be/va1QjaHgij8

Do you make money off YouTube? – Ha, sorta. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.

I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? – The easiest and best way to support me is through Patreon, where you can pitch in as little as $5/mo to help me make better videos: http://patreon.com/jayswanson

I don’t trust this Patreon thing – can I just paypal you? – Here’s my ko-fi if that’s your thing (and coffee is your game): https://ko-fi.com/jayswanson

But I want to send you something tangible! – I do have a wishlist on Amazon, though it’s a bit complicated with the international shipping situation. So instead people often drop off or ship things to the Peloton Cafe in Paris for me.

Thanks for watching!

    Jay is such a gentleman. Most dudes I know would have immediately turned the camera on Lindsey when she started choking and coughing. Well done, Mr. Swanson.

  2. @theindiandorks

    Thanks for all the videos man. Me and my sister just had a great week in Paris and most of it was from things I saw in your videos. Hope you were good though the stuff that happened all week.

    Cafe Vefour is a nice dinner date. L' Ambroisie place Vosges if you really want to impress.

    I’m so happy you finally featured Substance cafe! Usually I see them featured only in specialty coffee publications like Standart. I was hoping they would pop out in your cafe video last time. ❤

    Great vid! We love Folderol, and I said “this vid has L Tramuta all over it” – and then she showed up in the next scene! Cool to see Puxan at the end. And we finish with an undisclosed Guimard designed cocktail spot! Thanks for the fun!!

    Given your company in this video, opposite of "Bro" would be "Beautiful, Intelligent, and wise." At least, according to my wife…

    I’ve always admired the quality of your videos – especially over the last year. As I’m watching I find myself remembering that you don’t have a cameraman or someone working with you to “find the perfect angle” or with a microphone over your head to get the perfect sound – it’s literally all you!

    Also it’s never “over-produced” like some creatives on YT. You’re just talking as your normal self.

    You should run credits at the end with your name only 😂

    Wonderful video! Enjoyed the variety of spots and as always the fantastic production values (and values values). Added them all to my Want to Go list! Thanks Jay!

    Watching your subscriber numbers climb-hope you break 75K soon on your way to that first non-cork award. Loving your recommendations in your guide around the monuments and museums I want to visit on my next Paris trip-thank you for the footwork.
