Best 5 Travel Apps For This Summer... That You'll Actually Use

Since planning a trip can be tricky, I thought I should share with the community my top 5 favorite and most useful travel apps.

1. Snapchat

Giphy.com

You probably want to snap that partying yacht or face-swap with your drunk besties. Nevertheless, everyone will follow your story and wish he could be there. And thanks thanks to Geotagging, filters for locations can change wildly, ranging from raining money in Las Vegas to graffiti on Long Island. Swipe left on the picture in the application and get those fun filters going.

2. Duolingo

Ti amo, je t'aime, σ'αγαπώ, where can I find a sandwich?

These are all phrases you need to master before your trip abroad. Duolingo is a great app to learn fast and effective the basic of almost every language, and approach that hot Italian you have been checking all night long...

3. MarineTraffic

I was born in Greece, so being in a ship feels natural. Especially in summer, the Greek islands are a must. MarineTraffic tracks all ships, boats and yachts and displays them in a beautiful way on a map. But what is impressive is their Augmented reality. I just point my phone to the sea, and I instantly get which boats are approaching or are in front of me. It comes handy in yachts..party yachts...

4. TripAdvisor mobile app

TripAdvisor has been a popular travelling website for a while, but did you know that there is a great app where you can use the millions of traveller reviews, photos, and maps from TripAdvisor offline on your phone. When you are lost in the streets of Rome, without 4G it comes handy.. trust me!

5. XE Currency

XE is the go-to site for currency conversions on the web, so it’s no surprise that its app is so popular, you will be able to convert every world currency.
