Hello everyone ! We hope that our previous article on destination ideas helped inspire you. Today we are going to present to you 5 applications that will help you organize your trip. The purpose of vacation time is to rest in order to escape from our daily lives; taking a break is sometimes necessary. Certain applications can be particularly useful for organizing, planning and simplifying our relaxation plans.
We also invite you to share with us your vacations, your essential applications and your opinions of course!
Good accounts make good friends
Indeed, if you are planning a vacation with friends: the goal is not to come home angry.

As the currency master that it is, the Easy Currency tool presents itself as one of the flagship applications for traveling. You just need to create your personal list of currencies for the application to give you the exchange rate. Most ? Easy Currency does not need the Internet to work.
Step 1: fly away or hit the road
Kiwi stands out as THE reference for online flight comparators in application. With no less than 700 airlines under its belt, the application offers you the best offer for a very attractive price.
For carpooling, we recommend Blablacar in Europe.
Step 2: find accommodation

If you decide to travel by van, campervan or other, here is the application you need: Park4night .
It is a collaborative application allowing you to share and find places to stop in your motorhome.
Step 3: move
Uber is present in many countries, but travelers often use competing local apps that are cheaper. For several countries: Africa, Malta and Lebanon, we recommend: Bolt.
For Algeria: Careem, Temtem, Yassir .
For Spain, Portugal, Germany and Romania: freenow .
For Morocco: Heetch
Step 4: Orientation and Activity
For your activities, we advise you to look at Get your Guide. On the other hand, it is sometimes more interesting to book on site or at a tourist agency, because the prices can be higher online.
Finally, so as not to get lost, a great classic: Google maps . You can download the maps offline and the reviews from travelers are often very enriching.
Next, it is important to download the app for the city you are in in order to have the most reliable information on local public transport.
Step 5: Communicate
Finally, to be able to fully benefit from your experience: you have to communicate and Duolingo is there to help you, Google translate too. It is possible to put offline mode by downloading the languages that interest us.
It is important to make yourself understood in order to fully enjoy your vacation, but also to meet new people, because traveling is also about meeting new people, new cultures... Maybe you will meet an incredible friend or love of your life on the other side of the world, who knows?
Happy holidays to all ! See you soon !
