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: • Draw My Life
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: 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: • Why I Want to Live in ...
Do you speak French? - Oui. • Un Jour en Francais (E...
Do you make money off KZfaq? - 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: / 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): 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!

The very first time I used one of the public toilets I was kind of desperate and didn't know about the wash cycle, so I rushed right in after somebody exited and got my shoes thoroughly washed. A lesson I will never forget.

Absolutely love that neighborhood! Great place to walk + manger sur la pouce! Or to sit along the canal + drink + eat. Feels more like a Parisian neighborhood instead of just a tourist pass-through. Love the canal ride, too! Thanks for the ideas te: local spots. That jacket is a great color!

The jacket you sported looks like a classic "chore" jacket only in while. I have my grandfathers blue chore jacket (I think it called it a bleu travail jacket too). Must be about 100 years old now.

I noticed that the restaurant Bouillon Republique is right near the end of the Canal. Would you say it would be a good idea to boat down the canal and then have a meal at the Bouillon?

My fav part as well! Great minds!! Next trip we want to do an Airbnb there - or is there a better rental option? May be covered in your book wh we will def purchase!

Thanks! Airbnbs are a great option, and there are plenty in the 10th and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Thanks for all you do @JaySwanson! I'm binging your videos in prep for a trip to Paris in September. Two questions: 1. What jazz club(s) in Paris do you recommend? 2. Is there a Jay Swanson for Amsterdam? I know, not possible, but is there an Amsterdam based vlogger you recommend?
@JaySwanson 10 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment! We don't have much jazz to recommend as of yet - but it's a goal for the future. There are a few clubs on Rue des Lombards which is a good place to start. The wine bar Le 18 Oberkampf, which is a favorite wine bar of ours, also has jazz certain evenings. There's no Jay Swanson in Amsterdam, but our friends over at IndiTravel (www.inditravelguide.com) are working to compile list of creators produce similar content, so we'd recommend popping over there to see who they recommend! Hope this helps - Emily & team

The problem is and this is not unique to you, but well over 50% of the comments about you and not the place you are visiting. That’s why I call them vanity projects. Nothing about Republic, nothing about the 2 train stations, nothing about the vibe and how the 10th has changed from a working class area with a hard edge to the “ Brooklyn “ of Paris. Nothing about “ little India” or the street art. My suggestion is focus on the place and not yourself.

You can literally hundreds of recs in my guide to Paris here at : parisinmypocket.com. Oh, you also can find 100 free recommendations to Paris in this 20 in 20 series that you've stumbled upon. Not to mention lots of other free lists of restaurants, monuments, neighborhood, etc on the rest of my channel. (But if you don't like quality coffee, best to move on I think.. because you won't find your way away from that on this channel.)

This epitomizes everything that is wrong with these self produced travel videos which is too much emphasis on the presenter. Hey folks you and I don’t just mean this presenter, is that you are just not that interesting. Most just feel like vanity projects with way too much face time and a lack of useable information. After watching this I still have no feel for the 10th other than there is a canal and a place to get a haircut and pork bao.
