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.

Dude, you’re killing it with these new videos. I love the reenactment sequence 😀.

[@Paul_C]

You know, a t-shirt when snorkeling takes care of burning your skin. Learned that the hard way in Egypt... 😂

[@JaySwanson]

Clever. Thankfully I dosed the sunscreen hard

[@agyos]

Yes!! Thanks to your wonderful patrons…AND…your wonderful friends!!! I didn’t want this vlog to end…soooo much fun!!!

[@iniabellepaz445]

Good morning Jay, enjoy Thailand videos so much, especially since we are in winter…they just take me away from the cold for a few minutes each day! Thank you.

[@andyshacks7812]

I don’t fancy anyone’s chances in that toilet on a rough sea lol. You guys are really having the best of times and what a stunning location !

[@JaySwanson]

It's been great!

[@SCUBA_5teve]

These last few episodes have been heavenly! Glad to see you out of your everyday scene.

[@anastasiafua]

Absolutely stunning Jay! Great hilarious group of friends 😂 look forward to another day of your travels there ✨🎉

[@jessicabracho8509]

You are in such a beautiful place, and filmed it beautifully as well.

[@jewelhancock1647]

Love how you talked about trusting yourself in new ish situations

[@alexandracarter1408]

great video! I just wanted to pop in and say I *really* connected with where you're learning to trust yourself, that you weren't parented in a way that taught you that. It's been a journey, and it probably will be for a long time (for me)...but it's so nice to be somewhere along the path of it. :)

[@JaySwanson]

Thanks! Yeah, learning a lot about this as I go. I'm happy to hear you feel like you are as well 🥂

[@jacqueline4749]

I did all those tours in my 30s. Honestly I am glad, because Now I don't think I could do it. Travelling isn't easy-going depending on the tour.

[@JaySwanson]

It's exhausting in its own way for sure

[@hazelhoyte7668]

Glad you got some drone shots. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the holiday.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’m blessed with melanin and used to hot and humid weather and that’s my argument for being a beach person. I’m serious about sunscreen and that’s only recently.

[@KarinLynnBates]

I feel like I had a little vacation just watching this! So wonderful! I’m really glad you got to do this and I’m grateful that you shared it with all of us! 🙏🏼

[@ecaldwell9]

Jay, you look like you’re having an amazing time. I’m so happy for yah. Thx U for sharing this video with us.

[@alexandersunter4899]

Well Jay you’ve nailed it again. Glad I found you. Keep em coming.

[@JaySwanson]

More to come!

[@dr.alisonbudd7409]

I love snorkeling, glad that you have found it. now go snorkeling the Galapagos Island, its the best .

[@JaySwanson]

Thanks for the tip!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

4:01 Good

[@nenuphar0722]

Amazing! Thank you so much for taking us along!

[@JaySwanson]

You bet!

[@mikeodil7721]

My man getting around on this vlog, LOVE IT! So, I didn’t know you could have a full moon at that time of day. 😂 Vital question: how did the pedicure hold up? Haha Just living the dream man. Cheers to you, Jay! ☕️🍻

[@massiveBallsX]

Thanks Jay! Amazing!

[@halie938]

I need Katherine's life story ! THREE shipwrecks?!

[@domitiennegegou5967]

It was a joke... Didn't you see ? It's written "pure fabrication" underneath.

[@haliep]

oh no, the text popped so fast I missed it- thank you!!! @@domitiennegegou5967

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Here’s to you enjoying more of Asia!

[@steveramirez8270]

A little worried that you are spending too much...hope you are doing well...goals 2024!!! C'mon Jay, stay focused!

[@JaySwanson]

All good, here!

[@christinedailey9254]

I’m enjoying your trip so much! Really thinking of going.

[@JaySwanson]

You should!

[@mlomarechal6877]

Amusez-vous et profitez de ces magnifiques paysages Jay .... c'est que du bonheur !

[@jeffmedina8122]

Seems like there’s an advice theme: I got none. It looks like you’re having a killer time and that beats any advice I’d have to give about footwear, clothes, food, and all that. Thanks again for the virtual ride. Wish I was there.

[@patriciateague8677]

What a great day!

[@Chrisb8s]

I like Cate

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Reminds me of my vacation in the Andaman Islands. There was a sea snake/krait in Ross Island and I was lucky to be a little far away from that.

[@flatironnewyork]

i am drooling over that dreamland fish!! 🤤

[@JaySwanson]

The best!

[@dvanmartin9842]

Fantastic Video!

[@JaySwanson]

Glad you liked it!

[@RH1812]

Who’s jealous? I’m not jealous

[@ecaldwell9]

My favorite part is how they use J as a cloth rack. Love it!

[@Locomotivebreath5]

Katherine is my new hero! I want to know about her 3 shipwrecks… also I want to go drinking with her.

[@echa9446]

want to experience even more spectacular beauty? Go on a sailing trip in Labuan Bajo (and Komodo Island) I went there last summer, best sailing trip of my life ❤

[@erinmh]

Gorgeous

[@julieg447]

It's all been good and lovely,always fun to follow you, wherever it is! But for a little hedonism break and a peak in the real Thailand, how about stopping by Soi Dog Foundation in Phuket

[@JaySwanson]

Aw I'm already on my my way back to Paris!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I liked the re-enactment 😂

[@PokhrajRoy.]

5:12 Jay, the Human Tote Bag.

[@silvestrerasuk1]

Great content!🔥

[@PokhrajRoy.]

You don’t need a waterproof camera. I have a pouch where you just put in your phone and you can use your camera.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

1:44 This is scandalous even by my standards 😂

[@mbrolfe7504]

You might want to consider not walking barefoot on the beaches. I’ve come across broken glass, hypodermic needles, tar, jagged metal bits, washed up jellyfish with stinging tenacles, and used prophylactics while walking the US Atlantic coast beaches.

[@MicahMann]

😂😂😂😂

[@ADAtrips]

Yea Hot Hot. ☀️. I like. Thanks for bringing us along 🌴🌴Aloha
