When you are travelling to an unknown land, you are bombarded with several concerns in your mind like where are you going to stay, how is the food there, how much are you going to have to spend? So, for your next trip, use these amazing Apps to end all of your travel woes and have a great time exploring without having to worry about trivial things:
Duolingo
This is one app that will solve all your issues of translation when you are out on your trip. We often face a problem when it comes to communication with people of other nationalities or regions where they might not be well-versed with or accustomed to using common languages like English. This app helps in translating and learning the basics of a language that you would need while out on a vacation. You will find almost all the largely spoken languages in this world on Duolingo. Although it’s mostly reading, writing and listening, there are a few spoken questions as well. The app monitors your progress and tracks your mistakes to identify patterns, so it can test your weaker skills.
XE
That constant hassle to find out the exchange rates and coping up with the comparison of your home currency is a real struggle. XE comes in very handy in resolving these issues. It provides you with the live exchange rates of 10 currencies of your choice at a time. You can use it offline too because it stores the last updated rates. It’s super easy to use – just tap on the currency you want and it provides comparison values with the currencies that you have chosen.
Airbnb
