Here are some of the new and cool applications for travellers that could make it to my iPhone soon. Getting help with foreign language when traveling is always helpful – my French is decent and my Japanese will get me to a hotel but that is about it. The Roadtrippr looks really interesting because visiting spots off the beaten path is right up my alley – and with the upgrade of international countries I’m sold.
Because Facebook is all the rage these days along with Twitter – Travel Buddies on the go could be a great addition. A friend of mine right now is in New Zealand and is looking for travel buddies while be bikes around the country. Take a look at these and if you use them please let me know – would love to get feedback and if you have any other suggested apps drop me a line as well. Thanks!
