Branching Out

It's been a busy January, and we're looking at some exciting developments moving forward!

What’s new?

After a few successful trial runs, I’m thrilled to officially be offering custom Paris Itineraries.

Is the stress of planning a trip to Paris getting to you? Have you seen my videos and wondered what it would be like to do Paris for a day or two just like I do - centered around great coffee and food with a few sites thrown in between?

Well you might be in luck. As a premium offering, I've been building one or two day itineraries for people coming to Paris and sending them off the beaten path to the parts of the city I enjoy most with my friends. Long foodie strolls where I'd take my sister if she were to visit. You can find the obvious stuff on your own - let me show you where the locals hang out. Respond to this email with the word "PLAN" and we can chat a bit to see if you'd be a good fit for a custom two Jay-Style days in the city.

“Everything was amazing. The itinerary was a lifesaver. It was nice to switch to auto pilot and just follow the plan. My husband definitely appreciated the input on how to travel from destination to destination. I loved all the food places you suggested, and ALL of the staff were so gracious with us. I’m so happy that I went ahead and had you do the heavy lifting so we could just enjoy!” ~ Kinsey

What Else Has Been Happening?

It’s been a busy week over here in Paris! Jay’s vlogs are still going strong, and if you haven’t checked out some of his most recent uploads, head on over to his YouTube to see what’s up. The comment section has been really open, honest, and supportive, especially with vlogs like this one, where he talks about friends - the friends he has, ones leaving the city, and navigating friendship in your 30s and beyond. It’s been beautiful engaging with you all about these subjects that are closer to home - many of which are common struggles.

We’ve also got some exciting things coming up in February so be sure to follow along on Instagram and don’t forget to subscribe here to stay in the loop!

And finally, we want to thank everyone who commented and emailed following our last newsletter - we received some really thoughtful feedback on what you love most about this newsletter and what you want to see more of. A grand merci - you’ve given us much to think about.

Cooper’s Corner

Translated by Emily Guernsey

Shhh. Hey guys. It’s me, Cooper.

I’ve snuck into this bit down here so my dad doesn’t see it. But it’s my desperate plea. Everyone, send help! All I do all day is eat, sleep, play, get tummy rubs, and give kisses?! There must be more to life! Where is the adventure?! Sure the metro is exciting, and sometimes a loud noise makes me feel ALIVE… But get this: this past summer my dad went sky diving WITHOUT me! And he goes to London and doesn’t think I’d like to visit?! And he makes me wear a life jacket when I go swimming, like, um, okay, I’m a dog I know how to swim.

And it’s not just my dad. I went on vacation with my best friend Fitz and he and I were playing in a field and all of a sudden his mom came over and PUT MY LEASH ON?! She said it was ‘cause I’m “so tiny, honestly I don’t trust those hawks not to try their luck” but doesn’t she know that I can fight those things off? Yeesh. I’m like, super brave and strong.

Anyway, I’ve got this pretty intense bone I have to get back to before falling asleep in my cozy bed, but I just wanted to expose the TRUTH behind the glam, you know? Do with it what you will. I’ll try to check in again soon. #cooperscorner #truthbomb #fyp
