How can I make money from travelling?

Hey everyone!​

I have an opportunity to fly around Europe really cheaply. Sometimes I can even book a flight and be in another country the next day.

I'm wondering if there's any way I could turn this into a side hustle or even a full-time business.

I'm from a small country, so making money on YouTube in my native language isn't really an option. My English isn't great either, so starting an English-speaking travel channel would be quite difficult.

I've been thinking about starting a YouTube channel with walking videos from different European cities, but the competition seems crazy.

Another thing I've been wondering about: is there any demand for travel footage? Do people or businesses actually pay for videos of different cities, streets, tourist attractions, etc.? Maybe content creators, travel agencies, hotels or tourism companies need this kind of footage instead of filming it themselves?

I'm open to pretty much any ideas. I can travel around Europe at very short notice, so I'd love to find a way to make money from this opportunity.

What would you do in my situation? Are there any interesting business ideas or opportunities I'm overlooking?

Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Thanks for answer

imo doing live stream from like morning to afternoon with a calm music or slow time lapse kind of video can do well on yt but requires good setup as you have mentioned your english isnt that good no one is good at everything at start human being learn by practise so just start dont think about anything at first first step is always the harder one

You are right, first step is always the hardest one. I think your live stream idea is good too, but for a beginner, recorded walking videos are a bit easier than live. In a live stream you cannot edit mistakes, but in a recorded video you can cut and add music and text later. And you are right about English too. No one is good at everything at the start. We learn by practice. I am also learning in the same way Thanks for sharing this motivation, it is really helpful.

Just go faceless and add commentary using AI.

You can generate the voiceover with AI, but I'd say your English is good enough. Having some accent is not a big deal and makes it more genuine. Think about a unique angle you could have. For example, if you are into rock music, you could review rock bars and concerts you can visit and compare them.

If you make money the top priority in your life, you could become a drug courier
Even today, there is still no way to detect drugs inside a person’s body

That is really good point. Faceless + AI commentary makes it much easier for some one who is not confident in English. Do you think AI voice still works well for walking videos, or do viewers prefer only music for relaxing videos? I feel for some cities, a short AI intro about the place could make the video more interesting. Thanks for this idea, it makes starting feel much less scary.
