Best apps to travel! There are apps so you can meet people, to find accommodation and even transportation!

Omio: Book train, bus & flight
App
"The best app to find transportation for your Eurotrip! The app used to be know as GoEuro... this app made everything easier for me when I traveled around Europe because you can compare the prices in different kind of transportations (train, bus, flights, etc.)"
Available in:
Hostelworld: Hostels & Hotels
App
"Best app to find accommodation abroad! It allows you to make a reservation with a small deposit and then pay the rest at the location... you can also read all the reviews from the different places and it’s not only hostels! You can also find B&Bs and small hotels."
Available in:
Couchsurfing Travel App
App
"Best app to meet other travelers or locals! It has the option where you can get or host accommodation for free but it also has a “hangout” tab in case you just want to go out for drinks or do something with someone around the city."
Available in:
Google Translate
App
"This app is a life saver when you’re in a country with a foreign language! Especially if the country uses a different alphabet... my favorite feature is that you can use the camara to scan a word (in case you don't know how to write it) and also use it to communicate with the locals! "
Available in:
Google Maps - Transit & Food
App
"Definitely a most, in many countries the app is synced with public transportation so it tells you exactly which bus/metro/tram/train you have to take and the waiting times (like the example on the picture). It is also a great tool to find restaurants or specific kind of places nearby! "
Available in:
Tricount - Split group bills
App
"In this app you can make groups with your travel partners to organize your trip expenses. It tracks spending by person, and then splits up how much each individual owes or is owed from the total balance."
