How to get a visa for France that might actually help you stick around (although there are never any guarantees). Here's a link to the TAPIF page for the curious: https://frenchhighereducation.org/tea... As for masters programs, you're on your own (and you'll need to check with your local consulate about long stay tourist visas).

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 sciencefiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much.

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? Over four 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'>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 kofi if that's your thing (and coffee is your game): https://kofi.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!
