Videos of just walking the streets of various cities. It's nice to have pictures and descriptions of the usual go-to places, but show me what the place is actually like.

do you mean sort of like google map but professionally done?

How long do you think the video should be? and from what vantage point? maybe filmed by a drone? or on a bike?

Also do you want videos from the insides as well?

Just walking videos going down the street, maybe showing the architecture, the stores, the people. You get to hear the sounds, see the sights, and get a sense for what the pace is. It could have narrative or not. It could be indoors or not. I think this is something that can be crowdsourced.

I am currently watching a series on Netflix called "The Layover" by Anthony Bourdain. It's a great travel show, but I wish it would show more of the street life of the places he visits.
