The pandemic caught him 2,000 kilometers from home and it didn't take long for nostalgia to take its toll. "I missed taking a walk around my city, including the traffic and fuss of everyday life, so one day I found myself looking for videos of people driving in Istanbul . Seeing my city was fun and relaxing for me," says Erkam Seker. "And then I thought, why not listen to the radio in the background to feel the full experience of driving by car?"

If there is one thing that the Covid-19 crisis has allowed us to do, it is forgetting the traffic jams, but it is possible that more than one yearned for the moment to drive and see the city from the other side of the windshield.

This is what happened to Erkam Seker, who grew up in Istanbul and is currently studying for a master's degree in Munich. "I realized that many people would be missing driving around the city," Erkam continues to tell El Mundo Viajes. "This is how I decided to mount Drive & Listen.

The app allows exactly that, to drive around, for the moment, 38 cities in the world . It is a lifesaver for all those travelers caught by the pandemic abroad, far from their homes, but also for those who dream of the day when we will visit our cities again.

"The car ride is different in every city. You can get caught up in traffic, beholding a beautiful view or historic buildings along the way, or you can just watch people walking on the sidewalks. You never know what you are going to find".

Once you have selected a city, the app allows you to choose the speed at which you are driving and activate the sound of the street . You can also tune into a local radio to better get into the street scene .

Erkam is adding new cities "almost every day". And the reception seems to have been very good. "I see that many people are driving with my app and share it on social networks. What's more, it seems that the experience seems therapeutic ."
