well you guys are both from very different parts of the world with different ideas of Perfection and i think you should focus on that. because then you would be able to say something to your audiences from all over the world.

if you have already started your channel why don't you drop a link. i am planning on a 30,000KM drive with my other half and kind of blogging it so i'd be interested in different ideas for content 

Seeing how you're both from different countries I think this concept can work well! 🙂 Have you thought of a name?

If I was thinking of starting a travel channel, I'd be looking at locations that (I obviously want to visit!) but that haven't got a wealth of content. For me, whenever I look to go someplace - I head to YouTube and fire up some videos. Sure, it's ace to see the "Top 10 things to see in X city" but what I really want to know is - How do I get a metro card? How easy is it to travel in X place without learning the language? What are prices of XYZ goods - those kind of smaller questions. It might just be me but if you can work them into your videos you'd be adding a lot more value IMO which is the aim of the game for me.

If you're interesting enough, you can make it. People seem to love travelling and food videos on YouTube right now and if done right, it can do quite well.

We're watching a couple of YouTubers right now that travel around the world and try out the local food as well which is extremely interesting.

With your different budgets, it might be a good idea to do two videos for each location. One with things you can do and eat on a budget and the other with things that are slightly more expensive.
