These days, everyone travels with a smartphone. Beyond the ability to take endless selfies and keep in touch with family back home, they provide us with a never-ending stream of tools and apps to help us plan our travels and deal with any hiccups we encounter on the road.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, while there\u2019s no shortage of travel apps, most of them are terrible.<\/p>\n

To help you avoid downloading (and maybe even paying for) apps that aren\u2019t worth your time, I\u2019ve compiled a list of my favorite travel apps. These apps will save you time, money, and help you make the most of your travels. They\u2019re the apps I think every traveler should have on their phone before they leave home.<\/p>\n

1. GetYourGuide<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"A

Whether you\u2019re in the planning stages and looking for things to fill out your upcoming itinerary or you\u2019re already in a new country and want something to do later that day, GetYourGuide can help. I\u2019ve used them a bunch and always have a great time!<\/p>\n

2. LoungeBuddy<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Loungebuddy

LoungeBuddy<\/a> takes the pain out of the process. After entering your credit card, airline status, and lounge memberships, the app tells you which lounges you can access at any given airport. It makes even the longest layover tolerable so you can relax and enjoy your travels. And if you don\u2019t have status, you can book lounge access directly through the app. It\u2019s easy to use, and free to download.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Hostelworld<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Hostelworld

You can also use the app to see who else is staying at the hostel. You can join a group chat for the hostel and connect with travelers to make plans before you arrive. In short, it\u2019s a must-download app for backpackers and solo travelers. The app is free to download.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. Skyscanner<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"A

The best feature of the app, however, is the ability to search for flights to everywhere<\/em>. You simply input your departure airport and the dates you want to travel, and it will bring up all the potential options \u2014 from cheapest to most expensive \u2014 so you can browse for ideas without needing to check each one manually.<\/p>\n

If you want to save money on flights, this app is a must. The app is free too.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. TripIt<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"TripIt

The basic version is free while the pro version is $49 USD per year.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

6. XE Currency Converter<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"The

If you have to stay on budget (and don\u2019t want to get ripped off), download this app. It\u2019s free.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

7. Google Translate<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"The

The app can read out your text too so you can hear how it is properly pronounced, and you can also use your camera to take photos of text that it can translate too (which is helpful if you need to read ingredients while shopping, for example). The app is free.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

8. HappyCow<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"The

9. GasBuddy<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"The

The app is free but for $9.99 USD per month, you can upgrade to premium, which saves you 20 cents a gallon (up to 50 gallons) and provides 24\/7 roadside assistance.<\/p>\n

***<\/center><\/p>\n

While it\u2019s important to not spend your entire trip on your phone or social media, there are times when using your smartphone can easily improve the quality of your trip, keep you safe, and save you money. By downloading the apps above, you\u2019ll be able to have a much smoother trip, giving you more time, energy, and money to invest in your next adventure.

Book Your Trip: Logistical Tips and Tricks<\/h4>\n

Book Your Flight<\/strong>
Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner<\/a>. It\u2019s my favorite search engine because it searches websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is being left unturned. <\/p>\n

Book Your Accommodation<\/strong>
You can book your hostel with Hostelworld<\/a>. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com<\/a> as it consistently returns the cheapest rates for guesthouses and hotels. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Forget Travel Insurance<\/strong>
Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It\u2019s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I\u2019ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:<\/p>\n

Want to Travel for Free?<\/strong>
Travel credit cards allow you to earn points that can be redeemed for free flights and accommodation \u2014 all without any extra spending. Check out my guide to picking the right card and my current favorites<\/a> to get started and see the latest best deals.<\/p>\n

Ready to Book Your Trip?<\/strong>
Check out my resource page<\/a> for the best companies to use when you travel. I list all the ones I use when I travel. They are the best in class and you can\u2019t go wrong using them on your trip.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
