Four Must Have Travel Apps

​We all know how much planning goes into the special vacation. We don’t want to miss anything or miss out on anything while we are there. Did you know that there are several apps that can ease the stress of planning as well as while you are on your vacation?

There is a app for speaking a different language:

Do you plan on traveling to foreign countries, be sure you are prepared with an app that helps you speak the common language of the the country you want to visit? Google Translate is a lifesaver for any mono-linguist traveler. You can translate up to 103 different languages. Use your phone's camera to hold up to street signs or even restaurant menus for instant translations. The best part is that the app works without using a wireless connection so you can explore data-free. Navigate with confidence and even learn a thing or two about the native tongue. 

There is a app for maps and directions:

One of the things that I fight with my husband on when we are on vacations is Directions. Apps like Maps.Me or Waze offer downloadable maps with turn-by-turn navigation, traffic updates and can even pinpoint local hotspots to check out. Explore points of interest from restaurants to tourist attractions, all with step-by-step directions. Even create driving, walking and cycle routes to save extra time, or just to take in the scenery. 
​
How About and app for packing:

Make sure that you never forget a thing for your next trip. With apps like PackPoint, you can
type in the destination and select the activities that you plan to do to create a customized
packing list for your trip. It will even check the weather to make sure you are packing all the
essentials. Plus, you can share the list with your family member to make sure nothing is left
behind.

An App to communicate with family while using WIFI:

You want to make sure that you can keep in touch with your family and friends while away without using up all your data. WhatsAPP provides free voice calls and messaging when you are connected to Wi-Fi. The group chat feature also allows you to share messages, photos and videos to share your experiences.

Traveling to another country is a trip of a lifetime! Super special, but can be very stressful.
Planning and traveling with these four apps will take a good portion of the stress away. That way we can enjoy the trip to the most!!
