I am a big fan of Jake Lamar. He is such a captivating storyteller. And I will be sharing his quote because it fits my life so well too. Paris is perfect for me.
Thanks for the article. Having moved to Europe (on my third country here in two years) in search of “home”, I’m often asked why I left the US. I always say I didn’t leave as much as I wanted to explore the world and find the place I belong. It’s a different question and mindset.
"Not perfect, but perfect for me." Brilliant.
This story really captivated me!
I’m so glad!
Moving or living in Paris for love is always the right reason 💙🇫🇷❤️
Jake is a franco-american legend and such a perfect first subject for this great series! Can’t wait to read more.
Legend is the right word!
This is such an inspiring story! He will also be a role model for up and coming writers!
Absolutely !
Captivating read, looking forward to more of this series!
Thank you!!

We have so much to learn from him!
“You double your life” Oh my this quote took my breath away. I had never heard this before & will be thinking about it from now on.
Same! And it really rings true!
Pragmatic advice. It’s always harder to move permanently when the move isn’t being facilitated by your employer and you have to find your own way!
What a great and inspiring interview. I'm a huge fan of Jake's writing. I need to watch Round Midnight again.

That is plenty legitimate !
Jeez, I wish I would have met my Bronx homeboy when I moved to Paris in ‘95. Timing is everything in life.
I am thrilled to see this new series! I'm a fan of Jake Lamar's work and was very happy to learn more about how he came to Paris.
Thanks for sharing this, Lindsey! It's a nice little boost as I try to figure out if Paris is actually "perfect for me". :)
Great interview. I am looking forward to reading more in this series and to reading some of his books.
Moving and brilliant ! Like anything Jake Lamar writes.
