Javier Peinado September 9, 2022 Travel Apps, Travel Hacks, Travel Technology Planning a trip can definitely be overwhelming if you don’t know how to organize the multiple legs of your adventure. What should you bring with you? Where will you eat at your destination? Maybe you need some help tracking down cheap airline flights to get the whole thing started? Luckily, as you may have heard, there’s an app for everything…and travel is no exception. So get your cell phone and free up some space, because here are some of the best travel planning apps to keep within arm’s reach! For Packing Never forget your sunglasses or phone charger again! PackPoint is a travel app that allows you to create, organize, and share packing lists. Not only can you build your own, but you can auto-generate them based on things like the length of your trip and the weather patterns of your destination. You can also sync PackPoint with other apps like TripIt and Evernote to organize your travel arrangements, create itineraries and schedules, make plans with road trip partners, and access your packing lists across multiple devices. For Tipping Are you worried about being the guy or gal who doesn’t tip correctly while overseas? GlobeTips has you covered. It’s a quick, easy-to-use app you can use to calculate tips in multiple countries with multiple currencies. Just take a photo of your bill and let the app generate different tip percentages for you! It’s good for both solo outings and big, crowded dinners with friends; you can calculate tips for split checks of up to 16 people. GlobeTips also has written tipping guides for almost 250 countries if you want to be fully briefed on tipping etiquette before you dine somewhere abroad. For Dining Foodies…this one is for you! EatWith is a travel app that can connect you with food tours, cooking classes, menu tastings, dinner parties, and more. Rather than directing you towards chain restaurants, EatWith will allow you to connect with local “hosts” for authentic and community-based culinary experiences. All you have to do is enter your destination and travel date to find hosts in the area. Whether you’re looking for classic Southern food tours in New Orleans or one-of-a-kind gastronomic dinners in Paris, EatWith is an app that’ll show you a new way to dine!

For Beating Jet Lag Also known as the “Jet Leg App,” TimeShifter can be an invaluable tool for globetrotters who are never quite sure of their current time zone.

It can create a customized sleep schedule, for example, that minimizes your jet lag over the course of several days, or it can offer push notifications to help you avoid bright light or consume caffeine at optimal times. You don’t have to turn off TimeShifter when you return home, either. It’s used by everyone from shift workers looking to big business CEOs with frequently-changing schedules. Everyone can benefit from time management optimization! And don’t forget our own app for cheap flights!
