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.

Links below to Amazon are affiliate links - meaning if you click through them and buy something, I'll get some pennies. Thanks! (The FTC wants me to tell you that up front)

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

What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS

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

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.

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.

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!

Thanks for all recommendations. I will be in Paris next week in Montmartre specifically. Your videos have definitely given me confidence to explore the city like a pro. Merci!

I'm now inspired to eat and drink my way up to Montmartre!

Montmartre was one of the highlights of my trip to Paris for sure. I am loving this Paris in My Pocket Series!!! (PS I was going to abbreviate Paris In My Pocket into an acronym....that is not a good idea....hahaha)

By far my favorite video in the Paris in Mah Pocket series!🗼

Nice, I go to Monmarte every time I come to Paris and have my favorite spots but you showed me some great new options. Merci

Enjoying your friendly videos as I plan my Nov 2022 visit. Hope my 4 yrs HS French ('77) will come back to me if I panic enough! I still remember the unique smell of Paris from 47 years ago...

Hope your channel blows up, Jay! More power to you ✊🏻

Montmartre feels like an underrated area. It’s a district of Paris I’ve always wanted to visit.

Bro, this new series… excellent! You are hitting your stride and very helpful. Excellent presentation skills. Gratitude!❤️🙏🏼🦅🌸

Never get bored of Montmarte! Planning to go next week while in Paris. If you are a cat lover, go to Montmartre Cemetery! The cemetery is great to visit on it's own but the cats are the main attraction for me!! Just don't pet them if you plan on keeping your fingers!!

I finally made it to Paris and came back a few days ago. Omg that view from Sacre Coeur……WOW!!!! I’m one word it’s just sick. I was there for like 2 hours just taking in the view. Can’t wait to go back.

Hi Jay I've just come back from Paris we stayed behind the sacré cœur me and my wife loved it apart from nearly getting assaulted at the bottom of the sacré cœur at the merry go round he tried to put a bracelet on my wrist but apart from that its a beautiful area.

Thank you for another great video! Love the combo of what to do, IG worthy spots and food critic all rolled into one! Nice to see Nathaniel & his parents. I recently just started following them as well. Looking forward to the next video! P.S. - I liked how you snuck in that sponsor promo. Good job!
