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.

Single never married no kids. I often say - I’m alone a lot but almost never LONELY. People assume because you are alone you must be lonely -- which I find an unfortunate conclusion.

[@Morgonmotionaren]

Yes, creating memories together builds friendship and a sens of togetherness. ❤

[@iniabellepaz445]

Hi Jay, another beautiful view, great video…safe travel, stay well.

[@JaySwanson]

Thanks 👍

[@agyos]

Beautiful, lifelong memories, that will just keep on getting better with every passing year….and then, of course, there’ll be so many more good memories that will be added on!! Thank you for taking us along!!!

[@anastasiafua]

Awesome trip with awesome mates - priceless memories. Seriously enjoyed watching you have LOADS of fun! That’s a holiday Jay 🎉🎉🎉

[@JaySwanson]

We had such a great time! The return to reality is a light shock 😆

[@raymondmyford]

Really great job filming this trip. The daily vlogs became a part of my morning for years and it's nice to see you enjoying making them again. Thank you 😎

[@JaySwanson]

I'm glad they're worthy of your routine! Thank you 🥂

[@tbarcode]

Nothing better than having a group of friends that just operate well together ! i don't know how to make it sound less businessy lol but its just the best descriptor :P Things just work and if they don't y'all work together to find another way to make it work! That's a nice buncha people you surround yourself with :)

[@JaySwanson]

I'm a lucky fella

[@ashpiredliving]

I love this vacation video... ❤❤❤ Your break from Paris is great! Glad u have taken a break... Leaving home is needed for a refreh.

[@JaySwanson]

So true!

[@jordan8276]

Really enjoying VADR, with the added bonus that in addition to Paris, Thailand is one of my favorite places to visit. Crazy to see you making content from here too. Going to both Koh Samui and Paris in the next month, thanks again for all the inspo and good vibes ❤. PS: as much as I love the reboot, please do take care of yourself!

[@JaySwanson]

Amazing you're hitting both places in one trip!

[@KarinLynnBates]

Stingy things!!! ✋🏼🚫 I’m glad you had so much fun! Experiences do make good memories- very important to make time for them.

[@JaySwanson]

So glad I went

[@dave928]

if you want a quaint airport, try Easter Island. 1 gate.

[@PAWS0810-]

THIS WAS A FUN TRIP! SAFE TRAVELS!

[@andyshacks7812]

I can so imagine what a wrench it was to leave that stunning place. If only all airport were as stress free ! Safe journey back Jay !

[@JaySwanson]

Hopefully will return someday!

[@RH1812]

I await the ‘back to reality’ video ☕️

[@JaySwanson]

haha won't be long now

[@ericdurville6306]

Jay, ton accent Français est vraiment bien. Comme beaucoup d'américain tu as du mal avec la prononciation du "R" (mais c'est mieux que beaucoup d'américain). Mon conseil serait de prononcer le "R" en allant moins loin au fond de la gorge (ce serait difficile même pour un Français) mais en fermant le haut de la gorge (juste après la base de la langue)...

[@JaySwanson]

🥂 j'avance 😎

[@ZaimerSanj]

Jay ❤

1:44 We call it a jet spray.

[@Paul_C]

The obvious answer for the wet clothes dilemma: swim without clothes. Plenty of people from even the nordic countries wouldn't bat an eyelid. 😊

[@ADAtrips]

Yes, speaking as Norwegian, but I don’t like all my fattiest self on display… 😂 I am Kvalvik in the real world 🇳🇴

[@Nubianette]

Yes, being self conscious isn’t convenient or fun. 😩

[@JaySwanson]

😆 I'll get there one day

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Quote of the Day: “STINGY THINGS!”

[@ADAtrips]

Did you think of peeing on the stinging rays 😂 or what ever they were 🤔🤔. 🌴🌴Aloha Bonjour Appreciated the Français

[@JaySwanson]

thankfully it didn't sting quite that badly!

[@dccoulthard]

4:30 rolling?

[@cindybrown9898]

whats the name of the hotel

[@JaySwanson]

Samala

[@AlanDublin]

Watching these videos convinces me that adults shouldn’t have friends.

[@JaySwanson]

yikes

[@peterincork3121]

What I really want to know is why Coca Cola are trying to destroy the Diet Coke brand ? Coke Zero is a terrible substitute for Diet Coke, and probably appeals more to Coke drinkers. Grrrr. Apart from that, great trip ;)
