Our Travel App Store Guide
Smart phones have become indispensable travel tools. They serve as our cameras, wayfinding devices, and communication methods. We can amplify their usefulness by equipping them with the best-in-breed apps and tools for various travel tasks.
We have curated a list of our favorite e-travel resources to make planning and traveling more frictionless. These apps either facilitate or elevate the travel experience enough to earn their space on our phones.
Airalo - Instead of paying expensive daily rates with your cellular provider, opt for digital or eSIMs for inexpensive international data packages with seamless top-ups. Airalo is an eSIM marketplace and wallet all in one.
Timeshifter—Jet lag can ruin a trip. With a good plan and some discipline, you can mitigate the impacts of jet lag and enjoy more of your trip. Set up a plan ahead of your scheduled travel and be well prepared.
Citymapper—Using public transportation in a new city can transform your overall experience. It saves money and quickly immerses you in the local scene. We find Citymapper’s interface more user-friendly for public transit than Google Maps.
Michelin Guide—Many sites provide restaurant and hotel ratings and recommendations. Our preferred resource for their perspective, curation, and interface is the Michelin Guide.
AllTrails—When planning outdoor pursuits, AllTrails is a comprehensive outdoor adventure guide. The information and reviews are detailed and accurate, and there is an option for offline access.
Find My & Apple AirTags—We place Apple AirTags in every bag. They can help locate lost or misplaced items quickly, providing peace of mind and added security while on the move.
ExpressVPN—We use a VPN on all of our devices to protect our personal data when using public WiFi connections and to access content from different regions when abroad.
Blacklane—They offer reliable, high-quality chauffeur services when you want something a step above Uber/Grab. You can pre-book your rides with professional drivers and cars.
