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.

Jay, at some point in the future I’d love to see a ‘behind the scenes’ video of you making your videos, particularly the ones were you are going on and off the metros! I find myself thinking ‘ How the hell did he do that🤔🤔😂😂’ who put the camera there etc etc 😂😂
Same.
Same!

I and so many others here believe in you and benefit from your probing and your journey, so thank you!
If you want something go for it and never let others try to dissuade you. Boy do I wish I’d heeded that advice years ago!
Wish I knew how to write the story I've had in my head for 30 years. I say go for it if you can.
Go for whatever it is you want (as long as it's not hurting anyone else) and f*&! anyone who gives you a hard time about it. I, for one, am so excited and grateful to be following your story. I can't wait to see what you do next!
We do believe in you! I believe in you! Makes me think of Ted Lasso: BELIEVE. 🙂
Go do it!!!! We will go on your adventure 🎉
LOVE this jay - thank you for sharing. And as always being inspiring. doing a big catch up on your videos right now - best way to spend the saturday evening "wanting what you want is ok" is DEFINITELY achievable. p.s make your stories into visuals - you got this!
Omg 'I don't have to justify wanting that, I can just want it' 🤯 I struggle with that BIG TIME
Is there a support group for those of us who are addicted to watching Cooper run?
Honestly, I think that we are our own roadblocks most of the time.
Moral of the Story: It’s fun to say ‘bananas’.
Hello Jay, your video's are very inspirational and i want to thank you for showing your vulnerable yet beautiful personal side of your life... i wish you all the best to achieving your personal as your business goals!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for wanting to share this Jay
Ooo trying stop internal monologues that reinforce feeling guilt or shame is soo difficult - you've done a ton to change that aka working out everyday keeping up with goals - kudos to you!
Yessssss! To it all!
Great topic, Jay! I'm sending you my comment, privately. ☺️👍
What you need is what you want... What do you need?
Having that positive talk in your head is not easy. So proud of making gains in your therapy. And yes, bananas is fun to say even if I cannot eat them.
Your videos are brilliant!
You will surely succeed at your dream and your perfect apartment is on the horizon as well! 🤩
You and I are enormously different people, and I think if we knew each other, we'd end up talking together for many hours about approaching life. I'd suggest to you that a perfectly healthy person is perfectly selfish. How could it be otherwise? That's practically by definition. But there's much more to it than this. One has to have 100% self-confidence that in all our self-centered selfishness, we will actively choose to be caring, loving, generous etc. I am very confident YOU would choose to be good, even if you allowed all your wants and needs to be highest priority. In other words, the most beautiful world we can create -- even as selfish, self-centered individuals full of desire -- is one in which we are generous, open, and loving to those around us. There's no contradiction. Now that's only if one is what I think of as a "normal". If you're born Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy or someone like that, well, good luck to you, I ain't got the answers for ya. But that's clearly not you, Jay, and there's absolutely no reason for you doubt your own goodness. You can simultaneously have complete selfishness and complete self-confidence that you won't intentionally hurt anyone or leave disaster in your wake. If anyone tries to convince you otherwise, they want you to live in their agenda, not yours.
Bonjour! I really enjoy listening to you, as a fellow creative in Orlando. Hope you enjoy a beautiful day!
Thank you!
I know selflove is internal, but still I'm sure a little help from the outside doesn't hurt. Look at this positive community you created. You attract these positive people, who tell you every day in the comments how great you are and what you put out there. I'm sure most of them don't lie 😉❤️
I'm definitely lucky to have such great people in my corner!
5:25 Thanks for this! ❤

I'm too old for stuff I merely want, most of which I've aged out of anyway.
1:29 Haha I love doing this too
5:55 4 Seasons of ‘Jay In Paris’ when?
(On a serious note, that sounds and also happy to collaborate while telling funny jokes)
In life it is good to be ambitious, but know the limits of ambition because you can find yourself in a situation where you may go after pussy and end up with a cat.
After I got this stupid joke out of the way, I think educated people tend to justify their actions more because they are afraid of being misinterpreted when going after their dreams.
The solution is to place yourself in the center of the universe just in your eyes and not in other peoples eyes because in all these billions of people, you will rarely be noticed.
Loving the videos!
Yes, everyone must be the center of their own universe. Nothing could make sense otherwise. If people are trying to get you to believe otherwise, that's not for your benefit, they're trying to make you part of their agenda. That said, of course, just because you're the center of the universe doesn't mean you can't look out at the world, care for others, be generous to others, etc. Just do it from a place of personal strength and power.
Eating every day in a restaurant is something that not all people can do.
It is a first step to love yourself I find…….
The title is me avoiding fruits and chomping on chocolate biscuits instead.
