5 Essential Apps for the Millennial Traveler
Summer is here! Time to pack your suitcase and go off on an adventure right in our own country. (Why not? You have 7,107 islands to choose from after all!) But first, you need to figure out your destination, the activities and sights to see, and your budget at the same time. It may be a bit overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time to plan a trip by yourself or with your friends.
Thankfully, travel bloggers are now everywhere! Check out their sites (or even Facebook) to get inspiration and detailed itineraries (some of them even include the day-to-day budget, too!) for your next escapade. You can then use all of these information in planning your trip.
Of course, there are mobile apps that can also help you on your adventure!
