Paris 12e Arr - The Arrondissement Wrecked by Trains

Train lines tried to ruin the 12e arrondissement, but it found a way to make it work. Grab a copy of my guide to Paris at https://go.parisinmypocket.com/20in20 and take a chance to get one of my hand drawn maps of Paris while helping me make better videos at   / jayswanson   Then find me on the internet in all of the usual spots: Get a copy of my book on how I got to Paris here: https://amzn.to/3LoYuDi Follow me here:   / jayonaboat     / jayswanson   https://wlo.link/@jayswanson Music by: ‪@Dyalla‬ ‪@dcuttermusic‬ ‪@sirnicofficial‬ Patron Producer: Edited By: Paulo Pales The 12th arrondissement of Paris is underrated, in my opinion. For the Coulee Verte alone, it's worth a visit. Grab dinner in Gare de Lyon, drinks with boxer bros, or take a long stroll along the basin at Arsenal if you're craving some boats on the water. It's not a bad place to end up. 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.

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:    • Draw My Life   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:    • Why I Want to Live in France   Do you speak French? - Oui.    • Un Jour en Francais (English Subtitles)   Do you make money off YouTube? - Ha, sorta. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first total $100 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 $5/mo to help me make better videos:   / 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!
