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 love how when you speak to "us," it feels like you are speaking directly to one person..."me."

As a retired (medically) 51 year old, life just happens. No matter how much or how little you do, it happens and nothing is a waste if it brings you happiness. I enjoyed working, now I enjoy resting. My productivity isn't great, but my happiness is...

@JaySwanson 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing 🙏 Glad you're happy

1000% agree with you Jay. I love spending time in France and Paris is beautiful. It’s so easy to get in your exercise simply by walking.

Jay,in case you didn’t know it, your videos are addictive.

@NadineWalks 6 месяцев назад

A fun thing about the daily videos/rainy Paris is the ongoing question of... "Does Jay own any rain gear? Does Jay even believe in rain gear?" (And then in this video you said- "I really need a new rain jacket") :)

@andyshacks7812 7 месяцев назад

I think the more you try to be efficient, the less efficient you become. The quote you mentioned in absolutely spot on.

Thank you for your channel, Jay. Gratitude! Your previous guest Nathaniel Drew who has his own inspirational RU-vid channel posted this poem recently that to me seems very appropriate here: LEISURE BY WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.

I feel so seen right now. I also had these thoughts . "How do they do it?" "I miss having energy." "That's not the life I want to live." I tried so much to change my mindset, but finally I quit my full time job and got a totally different one part time. I love it. First thing I did to fill my free time: book a trip to Paris. I plan on doing this on a regular basis. Even being able to have this thought feels so wonderful. Thank you for this video. ❤

@JaySwanson 7 месяцев назад

That's great! Sounds like you've figured some big questions out. I hope the trips to Paris are amazing 🥂

I always take notes watching your videos. So great trips are guaranteed, I guess 😉

Excellent videoing, and editing and compilation, soo talented. Yes efficiency, productivity at this stage in my life is about smaller chunks of qualitative effort in work, projects, coincided with increased valued spaces of down time, special interests, creativity and meaningful relationships. Finding purpose in each day, small goals and achievements, leaning to bigger dreams and aspirations. Being part of life and light in some beautiful capacity.

I left Wales 30 years ago to London and people just stopped staying in contact but I’ve recently moved back to wales and everyone has started phoning again! Weird! Seems if you aren’t directly down the road people find it difficult to stay in contact.

So like, how do you film yourself going past locked areas? Do you run back to pick up your phone after going on the train? Or like jump the metro ticket gate? 😂 I really enjoy your editing though; I notice the effort to esabush setting.
