ESSENTIAL TRAVEL APPS

January 7, 2020January 17, 2020

Technology has made my travel life quite convenient. I couldn’t imagine being able to travel with ease without the help of multiple apps. My favorite travel apps are listed below.

SMART TRAVELER

Official State Department App for US Travelers. Gives access to frequently updated official country information, travel alerts, travel warnings, maps, U.S Embassy locations etc

Most of my flights are booked on a whim and this part has become essential in getting prepared for my trips – especially if a Visa is required prior to arrival. I have been redirected to some embassy websites where I have paid and received my electronic visas for Australia and and Turkey from the app.

ROME2RIO

Trip Planner that helps you get from point A – B worldwide. The app instantly displays flight, train, bus, ferry and driving options with estimated travel times and fares.

XE CURRENCY

Converts every world currency with real time exchange rates. Works offline (per last update during connection)

UNIT PLUS

Metrics converter: Area, Data, Fuel-Mileage, Length, Power, Pressure, Speed, Temperature, Currency, Time, Volume and Weight Mass. This has become very useful to me as there is no more guess work trying to figure common conversions for different country metrics.

GOOGLE TRANSLATE

Text translation/Instant Camera language translation. This app has been very helpful to me when traveling to countries with languages I don’t speak or understand. I love that it works offline as well for moments when WiFi is sketchy or unavailable.

MAPS.ME

Free, fast, detailed and entirely offline maps with turn-by-turn navigation.

PRIORITY PASS

This app is designed to help Priority Pass Members find an airport lounge any time. I research the lounges in advance and find out exactly where a lounge is located saving me time.

LOUNGE BUDDY

This app allows travelers to view, book and access airport lounges around the world in seconds. This one is great for non-priority Pass members who have no lounge access for purchase.

"This was the first time I ever used a trip planner. I entrusted Sally with my travel plans and she did not disappoint. She listed day by day activities after checking with me what my passions were. The activities included a photoshoot which was something new to me. Sally connected me with a photographer who helped me capture the sunset in Cabo. The photoshoot turned out to be the best memorable time of my trip. Sally went above and beyond planning for my trip. I had a hiccup with my flight while at the check in desk. I called Sally. I didn’t even expect her to pick up my phone because of the time difference from a different time zone. Sally She stayed with me on the phone and helped call the airline. Having someone on the phone with me and seeing how much she cared just made me appreciate working with her. She takes the hustle and stress of planning away, so you are left enjoying your trip and making memories to last a lifetime”

“Sally has some great recommendations on any destinations I have inquired about leading to a great travel experience. When planning a trip to Italy and she was the first person that came to mind for recommendations on the best cities to visit, the most affordable way to travel and the best way to save on accommodation. She's my go to person when planning my travels.”

"I reached out to Sally to help me plan a milestone birthday for my boyfriend in Bali. I wanted this trip to be special. I shared my plan with her. Sally listened keenly. She picked up on the must-haves, and added her subject matter experience on Bali, where she had been to several times. We're an adventurous couple and needed advice on things to do. Sally was phenomenal from flight selections, airport transfers & lounges, hotels, restaurants, villas, and even local Uber. She recommended different apps which made our life easier. She did all the heavy lifting while he and I narrowed down our preferences. I have planned many trips before on my own or with various travel agents and I must say Sally is truly the best planner I have ever had the pleasure to interact with. Her dedication is bar none. She researched and answered our questions in great time - day or night. She was with us from the moment we boarded the flight to arriving at the hotel in Bali. The trip was perfectly planned to allow for moments of relaxation, pleasure, play and enough time to explore on our own. Sally created the best trip to date with the best of memories while introducing us to a new level of travel. Here's to more trips to come!"

"We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary in Key West, FL. An amazingly beautiful destination! Even as an avid traveler, I needed help to make the most of the trip so I turned to Sally for her itinerary planning services. All I did was give her a skeleton plan of our trip and our vision and she went to work filling in the blanks with amazing activities and suggestions as well as lots of relevant information about our destination. In this age of Covid she will even include the specific protocols and requirements for your destination. Next time, you feel overwhelmed about planning, look no further."

"Sally is the ultimate travel guide. She is especially knowledgeable on destinations and has awesome time/money saving recommendations. If you are looking for a stress free guide, she is your girl. My next stop is Hawaii and she is my girl for it.

“As someone who loves to travel, Sally has been both an inspiration and a great source of knowledge. She inspired me think outside of the box. Whether it be discovering travel destinations in my own backyard or courageously taking on the challenge of solo travel! (She encouraged me to take my first solo trip to Cuba) Sally is knowledgeable and passionate about travel. She exhibits this by willingly sharing her travel experiences to educate and assist fellow travelers"

"I reached out to Sally to put together an itinerary for my 50th birthday trip. I knew where I wanted to go and how I wanted the trip to feel like, but I’m terrible at planning things. From our very first conversation I was completely mesmerized by her interest in understanding the travel style, passions and interests of each person on the trip. I let her do her thing, and fully trusted her. Believe me when I tell you, every detail of the itinerary was thought out - from the minute of landing to takeoff; ground transportation, restaurant recommendations, shopping, R&R activities, sightseeing, nightlife etc. She even arranged a professional photo shoot with a local photographer. If you are thinking of taking a trip you’ll remember forever, do not board that flight or hit the road without talking to Sally. She’s put together itineraries for many of my other friends and delivered unique, personalized experience each time

“We love the itinerary that Ms. Sally made for my 40th birthday and wedding anniversary trip to Europe. Sally infuses her bubbly personality and deep knowledge of travel into planning. She is detailed and meticulous. She first gets to understand your travel style before making suggestions."
