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.

I remember this channel when it had 1000 subscribers.
Haha I love Cooper’s plan of action which is aggressively sniffing the mic.
This is giving me fresh Anthony Bourdain vibes. Cool stuff.
That's kind, thanks =)
When I lived in a Paris 28 years ago there was only one or two Japanese restaurants and a couple Mexican places. They were disappointing due to the lack of spice.; things were toned down for the French palate.
Options are SO MUCH BETTER now.
The ways your friend stopped when you did were so good 😂 love it! Cooper is such a well educated boy 🥹
They're both quite well educated 😂
‘Rancid Protein Powder’ sounds like a great horror film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Not sure if you can get it in Paris, since it’s a US company, but Clean Simple Eats makes awesome protein powders. You can get single serving packets in different flavors, which I really love. You might like them! They have the best tasting protein powders, IMO😎
listen as cold as you keep saying it is, I would be inside eating all day just to stay out the cold too. But is doesn't hurt to try good food too. I do love a good meal, merci
Happy for a warm meal =)
So great to see you running daily - keeps me motivated to hit the gym every day as well. Keep up the positive momentum Jay!
Yes! You've got this!
Loved your line about the French treating spice like it’s nuclear waste - that did make me chuckle!
Hadn't thought of it that way before saying it - but it's true 😂
Love that you are doing so many vlogs! Thank you.
Glad you like them!
If you reach out through the chat feature, they will usually take back things that the website automatically marks as not returnable!
Also sometimes a 3rd party/small vendor will refund you, even if you can’t send the item back, just for customer relations’ sake. It never hurts to ask.
Thankfully Emily was able to sort it where I failed. SHE RULES 🥰
Your body burns through more energy in winter yeah. So you need to eat more animal protein or protein sources, in order for your body to maintain homeostasis when the cold temps cause your body to burn more calories to keep proper function. ❤ Lots of love to you my man
Perfect excuse to eat more =D
I wish my bosses would challenge their biases. Yep l, that word triggered my work brain.
Thanks for the taste of Paris Jay .
Cheers!
Dang work brain.
The place you stopped for the Chinese dish looked quite good, also a storefront I rather like. But, Fauna... oh my! That is had me at first look. I would have been so disappointed if the coffee wasn't good as the storefront and design says everything should be simple and wonderful inside.
It was so good!
The lack of protein powder causing hunger is interesting I think I need to start adding that in! Yey sipping coffee. You can take cooper so many places - so nice! Thanks for the daily pick me up :)
It's pretty nuts when you look into how much protein you need in a given day, especially if you're active
C'est génial ; ce type passe son temps a se fimer en train de prendre des cafés : " it's a wonderful world "
Moi je ne me plaigne pas 🥂
It was a weird process learning that the French just don’t do spice. Trying to find red chilli flakes for cooking was almost impossible and had to order it online!
Yes! You definitely have to go to special shops for stuff like this
Wow, I love the Jaguar XK-120 coupe at 1:45!
Let him among you who is without bias cast the first restaurant review. Jay, if you're on the lookout for spicy, try Indonesian Cuisine. And Paris being Paris, there must be more than one Indonesian place offering their usual spicy fare. I can only speak about Amsterdam, having lived there for six years once, but should you ever venture forth by TGV, try Tempo Doeloe for a rijsttafel that will clear out your sinuses and blow the back of your head clean off. Of course, there's always the old standby of spicy Szechuan Cuisine. Personally, I've given up on such stuff. I'd probably pitch a tent at L'entrecôte in Paris just as I would at Café Bern in Amsterdam. Not against spice, just old and tired.
Cooper seems to be going downstairs on only three legs? He wasn't touching his back right leg in that end shot going down into the metro.
Yeah, it's his thing 😂
Love your work style! Keep it up!👍 ❤🌞
Thank you! Cheers!
😊Your welcome
Thanks for the info on your watch. I didn’t know that existed. Very cool. I am guessing that you like it. But would you buy it again.
I do like it! But I don't really use the smart features anymore - the novelty wore off after a year or so. It looks good, feels good, is reliable, and I do check my steps - so yeah, I probably would replace it if I lost it.
Mushrooms powder is great ❤
It's probably 麻辣香锅 Ma la Xiang Guo, depends on the look.
I believe that's it!
Pendulum Life probiotic too❤
The title is me when I start a research paper.
Malaboom over-hyped? I'm going try it but my expectations are low. I might be biased...
My friend Emily loves it, it's a great ambiance and the spice is there if you go for the higher levels
As someone who loves spicy food, maybe France has something left to be desired lol
Bonjour! I'm sure the answer is obviously...BUT...are dogs welcome everywhere there? Cooper goes with you in all the coffee shops and bistros and I'm just wondering, is this the norm? Are there spots dogs are not welcome? Merci beaucoup
Dogs are welcome all over the place - we're pretty spoiled here in Paris
“A spicy love story” How do you translate that into English? 😅
😂
Quote of the Day: “Mais, c’est quoi, le Club?”
😂
How often do you get “pas de chiens” in restaurants?
Presque jamais
Surprising for Parisiennes …perhaps just people they have problems with 😁
Please eat real protein and food. And if I have oatmeal or cereal for breakfast, I'm hungry in about an hour. I have organic peanut butter on organic whole wheat bread pretty much every morning with a little bit of organic mango juice. I never feel hungry till lunchtime and it's really good for me. Sometimes I'll have some type of egg.
It feels like I eat too much real food 😅
😂
You dating any of these women you meet for coffee dates?
Girl Bye... You ain't that gurrrl
