5 Cool Travel Apps That Will Change The Way You Get Around
Being a tourist today means choosing useful travel apps that help guide us throughout our journeys. These groundbreaking tools have changed the way we get around, and that’s why we offer our recommended list to help your travels less burdensome.
Introducing the 5 Travel Apps….
1) Dufl How would you like to travel without hauling around any clothes? With Dufl, you can send in your clothes and they will inventory and store them for you. When you’re ready to go on vacation or a business trip, just select the clothes you want from your inventory and specify your destination. Your clothes will meet you there! When you’re done, just schedule a pickup and they’ll ship back to your inventory. They’ll even clean your clothes for you so they’re ready for your next trip!
2) Airbnb Need a place to stay, but want to avoid hotels? Airbnb allows anyone to rent out space to travelers. Enter your destination to find all the rooms for rent in the area. All hosts and guests can be reviewed, so you can get an idea of what type of people your hosts are. Some hosts prefer to become familiar with their guests before allowing them to stay in their home, while others will allow you to book a room very quickly without any hassle. There are destinations in over 190 countries across the world.
3) Field Trip If you’re interested in finding new things to do in unfamiliar areas, Field Trip is the app for you! Field Trip monitors your current location and will send you notifications when there are areas of interest near you. You can subscribe to various feeds, such as “Historic Places and Events,” “Lifestyle,” “Food, Drinks, and Fun,” “Cool and Unique” and more. Just start exploring, and the app will let you know when you’re approaching something interesting.
4) Flush Toilet Finder When you’re in a place you’ve never been before, finding a public toilet can take a while. Not only will Flush Toilet Finder tell you where there are public restrooms in your area, it will tell you if they have disabled access, require a key or if there is a usage fee. Don’t leave yourself in a situation where you really have to go, but you don’t know where to go! There are over 190,000 toilets all over the world in the database.
5) Rome2Rio (Android or iTunes) Do you want to travel from Point A to Point B, but don’t want to work out all the details? Rome2Rio will allow you to specify any two points in the world and it will build an itinerary for every step of the way. Get on a bus here and take it there. Then take the subway to the other place. Take a flight over there and take a taxi downtown. The app will give you the travel duration between each point and provide a cost estimate. It will even show you nearby hotels and the price to stay there.
These are just a few apps that could be of some assistance in your journey as a tourist. Try them as well as other travel applications to discover which serves best for you. After all, mobile devices are a major part of our lives, so put them to use for that next destination!
