    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 four 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!

      Oh wow. The more I see of Marseille the more I like it. I have to get a trip organised on the not too distant future! Cheers for a great video Jay!

      Great video Jay, Marseille is definitely on my traveling list. I also saw that you traveled with Ouigo, I was wondering how that experience was also!!!

      Hi Jay love all your France and Paris videos. I have a question regarding the month of August in Paris. My wife and I were planning a trip to Paris in August, but I've heard the month of August is when a lot the locals are gone for vacation. I've also noticed the hotel prices drop in the month of August. Does this mean a lot the shops will be closed during the month of August? Sorry if it's a stupid question.

      A very informative channel and great contens I enjoyed watching most of your videos Thanks for sharing .Subbed , a fellow creator,.,.

      We're coming from Texas on August 17th. Been watching your videos and they are super helpful about sights to see, places to eat, etc. I think I saw a video about how to get our US Verizon cell phone to work in France, but can't find it. Verizon claims it will be $140 for the service, I thought you had an easier, cheaper option.
      Any help ????

      Love your videos man. Everything you do is amazing. You make me want to travel to Marseilles as well. I hope that one day I might be able to. Thanks for sharing adieu et au revoir.
