I also like to watch those videos of people just going out for walks in their town but I like being able to choose where to go in streetview.
With how expensive it is to actually go to other countries this is my best bet for cultural enrichment. I’ve done cities in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.
And once in a while I get to see something neat that I wouldn’t’ve seen on youtube or actually going there. Such as the time I went to a random shopping plaza in miami and turned down an alley to find that alley hadn’t been recorded since 2008 so I got to see a few pictures of that shopping center under construction.
The hardest part of this is doing my best to ignore the “God I wish I lived there” thoughts.
I’m gonna go explore Bhutan now.
I’ve done this too! My ancestry is from Italy, but I’ve never been and am not really a fan of travel nor do I have the excess funds to toss on trips so I used google maps street view to “walk around” some places in Italy lol I “visited” a few other places like Japan too, it’s a very cool feature to be honest.
