My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa. Paris (yes the one in France) has been my home for years now and I have every intention of staying here for as long as they'll have me. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much. Now I make videos about visiting Paris, traveling in Europe, and try to share what I've learned along the way. I hope you enjoyed what you found.

Links are affiliate links where they can be - 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)

    This was awesome, but we need some raw footage of you rushing back for the phone after you jumped on the metro, walked through the turnstile, etc.
  • @lukster79
    Has anyone ever tried stealing your phone while you're away from it? Just curious. Keep up the amazing work!!!
  • @bonriver9420
    This was such great information. So many good tips and tricks. Also loved watching all of the doggie happiness with Cooper running his little legs off in the grass. He is such a sweetheart.
  • @Evan12346
    I love it when an expert says to keep it simple, then lays out a simple setup. Thanks again Jay.
  • Thank you SO MUCH, Jay, for being open and honest about what is really required to get great video, whether one is traveling or staying close to home. You are 100% proof that all kinds of fancy/expensive/bulky equipment (that many vloggers and 'Grammers try to sell viewers) is not necessary to create interesting/beautiful/compelling content. You can count on at least one purchase through your affiliate link - mine!

    90k followers very soon 🥳 I want to see 100K Jay you deserve 🤯
  • @dkii21
    I would never have guessed these were all shot on a phone! That’s talent!!!
  • @amourflower9893
    wow you are the first youtuber that I follow that has taken the time out to show the behind the scenes. I was that kid who grow up loving to see how it was made, especially when star Wars came out in the theater lol. I always was curious as to how you filmed yourself in the metro stations, and so I know lol. Merci Beaucoup

    Gosh, spring in Paris is so beautiful. BTW thanks for this video.
  • @redmiko
    I can't understand how he hasn't had his phone stolen.... at least 5 times a week. I've been to Paris a few times and the thieves will snatch the phone out of your hand! So, how Jay can just leave his phone metres is just crazy.
  • @user-rn6xk3cx4v
    Thanks for the fascinating peak behind the scenes! And thank you for the last few months of daily vlogging. It's been fun to tag along with you.
  • @nubisnotstump

  • @tmorrison5965

    😎👨🏼‍🦲📽️🎞️The Thumbnail looks like a Jason Statham promo for The Transporter "Seige in Paris"😅
  • @leec7665
    Thank you SO MUCH, Jay! This is so incredibly helpful.
  • @chantalb627
    Thank you for great recommendations!!!! Love the simplicity of it all and it will not take away from still enjoying the beautiful surrounds all travels are there to enjoy.
  • @CraigMische
    Thx Jay. I have a few Kenu products but hadn’t looked at their offerings for some time. The Stance+ will be perfect. Thanks for the link and coupon. Order placed!
