I write and talk about keeping your travel experiences real, getting in touch with local faire and going off an your own. There are so many great apps out there for travel, but you can spend your whole time with your head in your phone. Before I share my top two, here is a list of the top 5 from Elliott at Boarding Area.
My top Two from the list are:
Trip Advisor is my all time favorite. You can look up hotels (motels/B and B's), Restaurants and Attractions. The great part is you can read the worst reviews and the best, from locals and tourists. You can connect with multiple booking sites, get great tips from regular people and things to be weary of. Yes, I am always writing reviews, but not just while away, but at home also.
Second is Google Maps. they are great for seeing the lay of the land and navigation.
In many areas (without WiFi) you can find and save the map you will need for the day and be wi fi free and still have the navigation you will want to go rogue.
Technology has allowed us to travel to parts unknown with a sense of safety and connectedness. But it can also create dependence on electronics that will detract from living the experience in real time.
Please, what ever travel apps you use, let them be a loose guide and then enjoy a Fair Dinkum Adventure!
