They help me plan my trip in advance, make sure that I never get lost (at least not unintentionally), that I get to experience the best the location has to offer, and that I&#8217;ll be able to stay in touch with family and friends at home.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--> <strong>Planning your trip<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/evernote.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Evernote <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Why would you carry printed documents for every single detail of your trip with you, if you can access all this information on your smart\u00a0phone or tablet? Evernote is an app that will help you save information about &#8211; well &#8211; everything. Create a notebook for your upcoming trip and add your flight and hotel confirmations, articles and emails with recommendations, a copy of your passport (just in case) and everything else you need to remember.<\/p>\n<p>Airline apps<\/p>\n<p>Almost every airline has a mobile app these days. Not only does it let you easily check in for your flight, it also gives you a mobile version of your boarding pass. No need to print out an email or collect it at the airport, just show your mobile and you&#8217;re ready to go.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2743\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2743\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2743 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2014\/06\/ipad-use.png\" alt=\"Ipad use\" width=\"500\" height=\"283\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2743\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/traftery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tom Rafferty<\/a> under creative common licence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>On the road<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xe.com\/apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XE Currency<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When using a foreign currency, you want to make sure you&#8217;re not accidentally spending more than you thought.
