Traveling is a great way to experience new sights and sounds and learn about cultures and people you otherwise may never know. But traveling can be a hassle even for the most seasoned of adventurers, between keeping track of all of your things to figuring out what you want to do with your down time.
The good news is that there are tons of apps and gadgets out there that can make your travels less stressful, so you can focus on enjoying everything around you. Here are a few of those technologies that can help you keep up with all of the things you need to when you’re traveling so you can find the time to relax and enjoy your days abroad.
Tile
The Tile location system is a great way to keep track of all of your personal items, from your luggage to your passports and other important documents while you are traveling.
Tile works by attaching a small, white square to any items you want to keep track of. The tile contains a GPS locator which syncs with the free app, so you can call up a map and see exactly where your items are, anywhere in the world. If you know about where the item is but can’t finally locate it, you can use your mobile device to “ring” the tile so you can hear it and find it quickly.
Tile is cheap and easy to use, so you should never again lose items while you’re traveling.
Weather Live Free
Weather Live Free is a detailed weather app that will give you all of the information you will need to know exactly what the weather has in store for you at any time.
No matter where you go in the world, there’s a good chance that the weather conditions will play a huge part in your deciding how to spend your time. This app will give you the temperature and the “feels like” temperature, the humidity percentage, the wind speeds and the sunrise and sunset times. It also features a seven-day forecast and a weather radar that is constantly updated.
Weather Live Free also has a widget built in, so you can have all of the information available for you right on your homescreen.
Google Translate
This app can be a godsend for any traveler who finds themselves in a foreign country where the language is a barrier.
Google Translate can instantly translate between over 100 different languages and offers important phrases in all of those languages so you can get around easier. You can also use the camera on your mobile device to instantly translate signs into your native language, so you can find your way around the city streets or just make it out of the airport with ease. The app is free and works with any operating system.
Next time you travel, let technology help you and keep your adventure a little less stressful.
