Travel Apps that can make your trip easier.
I have found a few apps that can really make your self planned trip easier. Android version. All of these apps can be kept on your phone to minimize the amount of tech you need to carry. If you have a good phone cam and a gimble or selfie stick you are set.
GPSmyCity has preloaded walking tours for many cities as well as good travel articles for those places. It uses the gps in your phone in advance mode.....or just follow the map in economy mode. Take tours without a group and at your own pace and enjoy the shopping and food tips in the articles.
Google Flights helps you look for great deals for plane tickets. In addition it helps you book hotels and find things to do.
SD Currency Converter. Look up exchange rates and figure out how much things cost in foreign currency.
Google Translate...is it perfect, no. But it can help you if you need to shop or go to the hospital in a foreign country. I would say its 80-90% accurate.
Pinterest is another app to find info about different locations like travel blogs...food and places of interest.
Google Lens...dont know what something is? Take a pic of it and find out. Food...plants, whatever. Great app to check out.
WhatApp - Skype. Basically any app to keep you in touch with friends and family back home. Works even when you have a foreign sym card from another country.
Google Maps. I find this works in every country I have visited. Of course it will depend on the network of the country you visit and amount of data you get with a sym card and plan.
