My name is Jay Swanson – I’m an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa and hoping to make the city of light my home base – at least for the foreseeable future. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much.

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? Over five years now, holy cow.

What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS

You’re always talking about living on some ship. WHAT SHIP? – I made a “Draw My Life” video that explains a lot here: https://youtu.be/-MrvL37jTKM

Where are you from originally? – Pullman, Washington – a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).

What do you film with? – I’ve made a lot of changes recently, but I try to keep my gear list up to date if you want to see what I use and buy some for yourself: http://bit.ly/JaysGearList

What do you edit with? – Adobe Premiere – it’s pretty much all I’ve ever used since high school.

Aren’t you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? – Yep. But not too badly – I tend to be careful when I do.

Why are you living in #Paris? – Because I’ve always wanted to; I feel at home here: https://youtu.be/4Vivf6MqMxQ

Do you speak French? – Oui. https://youtu.be/va1QjaHgij8

Do you make money off YouTube? – Ha, sorta. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first total 0 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.

I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? – The easiest and best way to support me is through Patreon, where you can pitch in as little as /mo to help me make better videos: http://patreon.com/jayswanson

I don’t trust this Patreon thing – can I just paypal you? – Here’s my ko-fi if that’s your thing (and coffee is your game): https://ko-fi.com/jayswanson

But I want to send you something tangible! – I do have a wishlist on Amazon, though it’s a bit complicated with the international shipping situation. So instead people often drop off or ship things to the Peloton Cafe in Paris for me.

Thanks for watching!

5 beautiful lakes near Sacramento for a day trip

Do you live in the Sacramento region, and are looking to save gas and enjoy the beautiful waterways?

We have 5 beautiful lakes near Sacramento, all within a days trip!

Yes, Lake Tahoe is beautiful, but it’s a bit far to drive for just the day.

These lakes are not in any particular order, just 5 lakes we enjoy for the day
– Bullards Bar
– Scotts Flat Reservoir
– Rollins Lake Reservoir
– Sly Park at Jenkinson Lake
– Folsom and Lake Natoma

Yes, as the video mentions, there is camping and fishing as well as trails at all of these lakes, but for this video, we concentrate on the day-use areas.

Here are some videos we have done that explain more about the lakes:
