If you want to grab your International Driver's Permit before traveling, you can get 10% off with my discount code JAYSWANSON10 (valid through Sept 3 2025) or use my link to grab it today internationaldriversassociation.com/badgustave (the travel wallet is, indeed, an add-on!)
Americans please note: If you're looking to get an IDP for a US-issued license, the State Department requires you use American Automobile Association (AAA) and American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA). Find that here: aaa.com/vacation/idpf.html

My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa. Paris (yes the one in France) has been my home for years now and I have every intention of staying here for as long as they'll have me. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much. Now I make videos about visiting Paris, traveling in Europe, and try to share what I've learned along the way. I hope you enjoyed what you found.
