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)
Are you interested in apartments in Paris? Whether you're looking to rent or buy a Parisian apartment, I'm right there with you (at least in spirit for the moment). There's a lot to learn about finding a Paris apartment and I'd love to share what I'm learning as I go - let me know in the comments if the apartment hunt in Paris sounds like something you'd be down for.

I feel like we need more videos like this. Social media is flooded with people flaunting their wealth and I think we could all use a reality check. Also when you are struggling and still trying to figure life out (and you are not in your 20s anymore) it helps to see that you are not alone.

Your landlady is an absolute saint- so generous. I’ve always admired how you manage to get so much out of that small space. I’m 60 now and ( can you believe!) I still dream of living in Paris and yeah I’d love to see what other apartments look like and what you get for your money. Cheers Jay! 👍

I'm happy for you. I'm happy you have that safe space. I'm happy you have Cooper. You are obviously appreciative of what you've got because you know what it's like NOT to have anywhere you feel safe. We call the home that we're in now (that we rented for 11 years and then miraculously got to purchase two years ago) our healing home. It's not fancy, but it's safe and comfortable and we're forever grateful for what we have. Of course you should have goals, but it sure is nice to feel safe while reaching for those bigger goals. Take care!! ☺️ Hugs to you and Cooper!

Jay, I have been watching your videos for many years. After watching this video and learning more about your life and situation in Paris, I have a lot of respect for how hard you have worked to overcome all of the obstacles that have stood between you and your desire to become a French citizen and live your life in Paris. And finally, Cooper is a cute little guy...

@jay, your story has illustrated the importance of character currency. Your work in Africa was clearly enough of a testimony to your character that your land lady felt secure in her generosity towrds you. My husband &I are landlords & have wanted to be able to support friends. I can't deny, one in particular took advantge of that and it can leave you feeling very burnt 😢

Jay I so enjoyed this vlog. I knew from your previous vlog the story of how you got your place but the direness of your situation I was unaware of. I would really enjoy seeing content about apartment hunting in Paris. I watch many such videos on RU-vid now. However having the perspective of someone I feel an inter web connection thru your content for years would be interesting. I had a similar situation getting my New York apartment. I believe the universe provides for those with a good heart and a faithful openness and yearning. Thank you for sharing and please continue to provide your thoughtful life's journey. Many of us who wish to someday live in Paris are encouraged and motivated thru your story.

Jay, I remember when I first saw you in the new and upgraded 'chateau'...initially when looking at one of the first videos of you and Puxan (I think) in it after you had installed the new bed/steps/couch unit, I was watching the video and thinking, oh, he's moved into a new place, this looks cool. Until I then realised that you had taken the first steps in upgrading the existing space, it wasn't a new apartment! Lol. Remember the old videos when you were sleeping on a mattress on the floor. A huge amount of change and progress over the years when you look back at it now.
@patriciateague8677
@patriciateague8677 7 месяцев назад
Would love to see apartments and corresponding rents in Paris. Perhaps focusing on good areas to rent relative to safety, ease of access to groceries, restaurants, shopping, etc. I just returned from my first Paris visit. Even after watching all the videos there were times when just getting from one place to another was stressful not to mention the stairs, sloped sidewalks, cobblestone streets and uneven entrances in shops. Realized early the shoes I thought were comfortable at home were not in Paris. I've never lived in a large city and it didn't help that my international phone plan refused to work reliably from the moment I arrived which made getting around more difficult. I finally bought a sim card which helped immensely. Wish I'd done that a few days sooner. Despite the challenges I enjoyed my visit and would come back but would stay longer and get a hotel or apt. much closer in. (My hotel was in the 17th.) The way your apartment is designed now is very efficient for the space and I'm glad it's worked out for you. If funds allow it might be good for you to make a move before you are forced to do so. Staying where you are may be holding you back from the future you really want because it feels safer.

Very interesting video. I see several steps forward. Your vulnerability felt as if it came from a really balanced place. Your ability to reframe something that has obviously haunted you into gratitude for need fulfillment that can now launch you into a better (more appropriate) container for your current life. I think dogs are very helpful in accomplishing this kind of growth. They provide an emotional focal point & their unconditional love is an energy source that empowers us to trust & to take a step forward.Good for you! Bonne chance.

Commenting here because you specifically requested it. Mostly will comment on Patreon. My wife and I definitely want more "actually living in Paris" content because we aim to move to France at the end of 2024, as our resources permit. To be fair, our goal is France, but Paris would be more than acceptable. 😇

What a lucky windfall and a blessing! I'm in a similar situation: a large house in a major city in the States that my wife and I live in, basically, for free. The house is in a great neighborhood, very close to the beach zone. So it's a step up for us. It's not a situation, though, that can go on in perpetuity. It's just a 7 year scenario. And we have 5 more years to avail ourselves of this situation. So, we are making the most of it.

Got to this one late. I think two of your best videos were of your friends apartments. As someone who would be interested in living in Paris seeing more (renting or buying) would be great, especially if you tapped into a variety of price ranges. Would also love to see hotels in your favorite neighborhoods. All the best

You do very entertaining videos. You seem like a great guy. Hi Cooper. Bostons are cool dogs!

Thx for explaining all this. I remember before you added the elevated bed. Hope you can find your own space at some stage. 👋🏻👏

I had a similiar set up in London and I miss it so much. Recently, I found my dream chambre de bonne in Paris and it is my go to place (around 8-9 square metres)!

Love this. I've seen a few that size, they can also be furnished really well, and feel cozy!

I would like to hear more about your and others search for apartments and where they live. I am living in Paris in a small space and depending on my future might also be wanting to make a move in a few years to a different area & a bit larger space.
