  • Luxembourg vlog time - it's a great city even if it's a little one. I'd love to come back! Also... I did say I intended to tell three parts... working on it. Help me make better videos at / jayswanson and then find me on the internet in all of the usual spots:

    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, vlog daily, and love pizza a little too much.
    FAQ:
    How long have you lived in France? On and off for over two years.
    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 currently film almost exclusively with my Samsung Galaxy S8: amzn.to/2lPKSpZ
    How do you get those shots where you're walking or running? - A Joby Gorillapod for smartphones, like this: amzn.to/2sXNIL3
    You drop your phone a lot, how does it survive? - THIS CASE IS AMAZING: amzn.to/2hoxgTA (Galaxy S7) - amzn.to/2Dt08Bu (Galaxy S8) - amzn.to/2FxVliP (iPhone)
    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 ...
    But what are you doing there? - Living it up! • What Am I Doing in Paris?
    Do you speak French? Oui. • Un Jour en Francais (E...
    You talk a lot about the books you're working on, what are they about? - They're sci-fi (and fantasy) and I've got a decent pitch for you here: • The Pitch (Sorta) - Ag...
    Do you make money off RUclips? - Ha, no. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first $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 $1/mo to help me make better videos: / jayswanson
    I don't trust this Patreon thing - what's your PayPal? - Here's a handy link! www.paypal.me/...
    I like PayPal in pink! - Here's my ko-fi if that's your thing (and coffee is your game): ko-fi.com/jays...
    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. This is the US one: amzn.to/2ykS9Ux
    And here's the French one: bit.ly/JaysFren...
    Can I come stay with you in Paris? - Have you seen my apartment? It's too small for me as it is! • The Apartment Tour (Lo...
    OK, but how do I use the Metro when I'm there? - I made a handy video for you: • How To Use the Paris M...

    Great vlog Jay, but can I just ask, do you ever get lost ?? I mean, I would really struggle to find the route back to where I'm staying !!😂 Maybe you have some phone sat nav ? All the best mate from England 👍

  • @KellyDurgan
    @KellyDurgan 7 лет назад

    Stews and Brews would be a cool (and very specific) food blog! Here's to not getting lost again!

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  7 лет назад

      Haha - that would be very niche

      I love discovering new places 😄

  • @tulipwindmill
    @tulipwindmill 7 лет назад +1

    Looks like a cool place.We have push button crossings too lol.If you put your hand under ours,there is a wheel that turns for blind people to let them know when to cross.Also,some of ours beep and in some cases talk!

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  7 лет назад +1

      It really stood out to me for some reason. It's not like I've never seen them, but I was all about them for that first day haha

    • @tulipwindmill
      @tulipwindmill 7 лет назад

      I get that lol,they look a bit different from ours.

    • @Bluesbabesrv
      @Bluesbabesrv 5 лет назад

      Almost all major crosswalks in PDX have the buttons. When the light changes they also say “walk sign is on” for the sight impaired.

    Kazemat in English would be a bunker. However you could also view it as a rampart. Pronunciation English case-mate in Dutch kaa-ze-matt

      I still never really got it haha. But they look amazing. Next time!

  • @alishiakiiza6834
    @alishiakiiza6834 7 лет назад +2

    Random question...do people ever see you walking away from your camera and alert you that you've forgotten it?

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  7 лет назад +1

      Occasionally - usually they're too confused ;D

  • @davewhitehead8601
    @davewhitehead8601 6 месяцев назад

    Clear that you've become a Parisian by this point (pressing buttons for crossings is novel!). In most places, it's expected...but in Paris I found that you simply cross when you can - something a year there had taught you by this point.

  • @mytod2790
    @mytod2790 6 лет назад

    Absolutely right about leaving a nibble for next time! Naan should never be smaller than that and is definitely not here in Africa!

    • @JaySwanson

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  6 лет назад

      It's an elevator? Haha, and free, so: worth it.

    Should anyone leave valuables in an Airbnb(specifically in Paris)? Like extra cash.

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  7 лет назад

      That's up to your own discretion, but I would - you don't want to carry all of your stuff with you all the time.

    Jay more in-depth about Luxembourg Luxembourg details

  • @aneeshaero005
    @aneeshaero005 7 лет назад +1

    Jay, few questions I gotta ask.
    1. Is that beard fake? The reason I'm asking is because, in the beginning on the introduction scene you are clean shaven.... Then how come you got beard for the rest of the video?
    2. Have you got French citizenship?
    3. What is the language of Luxembourg?
    4. On the scale of 1 to 10 how will you rate the overall experience in Luxembourg?

    • @dixierosestudios
      @dixierosestudios 7 лет назад +1

      Aneesh T i think he prerecorded all of his intros.im guessing It would be way too cold to be outside in shorts and a teeshirt.

    • @aneeshaero005
      @aneeshaero005 7 лет назад +1

      Dixie Rose could be a possibility, Dixie... But, how long ago did he record all these intros together?

    • @dixierosestudios
      @dixierosestudios 7 лет назад +1

      That- i have NO idea.

    • @aneeshaero005
      @aneeshaero005 7 лет назад +1

      Dixie Rose haha... Waiting for Jay to reply....
