Top 15 Best Travel Apps

Smartphones, be ready!

While I’m traveling, I’m used to be on my phone less than usual, not only because I want to disconnect with people but mostly because I want to embrace all the traveling experience. But there are some great apps out there to make every traveler happy. Here’s my current favorites and what I believe to be the Top 15 best travel apps!

1. TROVER
Trover is slowly replacing Instagram and Pinterest as my favorite app to find new places in the world to explore. Every picture is registered on a map and has a description about what makes the spot so special or about some tips to go there.

2. GOGOBOT
Gogobot is an app where you can find what to do, where to stay and where to eat in your current location or a city you’ve previously selected, based on its community reviews. Those spots are usually classify in the a must-go category !

3. UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES
This one is very useful as all Unesco world heritage sites are regroup in one single app. Browse by destination or look at the world map to select which one to add to your bucket list.

**4. AROUND ME **
Find a pub, a restaurant, a bank, a hostel and even more around you.

5. SKYSCANNER
Skyscanner is THE way to compare flights in the 21st century. If you want to find the cheapest flight for your journey, this is the app to use. They also compare hotels and car rentals.

6. ROME2RIO
If you’re scared of flying but want to know how to get from point A to point B by car, train or ferry, this app is for you. Rome2rio will let you know how to do so and how long this will take you.

7. COUCHSURFING
Couchsurfing is the best and the cheapest way to find a place to stay AND meet new friends. You can stay at people places for free, share travel experiences and enjoy their tips about the city you’re visiting. That’s what makes it the number 1 must-have for every traveler on a budget!

8. AGODA
If you’re traveling around Asia, Agoda is the best app to find hostels. I used it for 3 months when I was road tripping in South East Asia, and I noticed it’s often cheaper than its contestants and sometimes the availability is better than on Hostelbookers or Booking.com.

9. AIRBNB
Airbnb has quickly become the world leader in travel rentals with 500,000 listings in 34,000 cities and 190 countries.

10. XE CURRENCY
It’s always confusing to change currencies while you’re traveling. With this app, you can convert every world currency without wifi.

11. METRO
This app is a must-have for every traveler! It guides you in the public transports in 400 cities in the world!

12. PHOTOSHOP EXPRESS
Make the pictures from your smartphone look professional with this free app!

13. WAZE
Waze is a the best app for those who travel by car. It’s a large community who share real-time traffic and current prices of gas stations around you. I will definitely use this one for my roadtrip in Australia!

14. DROPBOX
Dropbox is one of my favorite app on this list! Synchronize your computer and store your important documents on your phone or/and your tablet Never email yourself a file again!

15. TRIPIT
And this is my favorite app of all! All you have to do is enter you email address and the app will search all your email confirmations (hostels, flights…) and make you one calendar so you have all the necessary informations at hand. It will also send you a reminder a few days before!
