When it comes to sourcing the most useful travel apps, we’re not here to give you obvious tips, like ‘Don’t forget a GPS app.’ Instead, we want to clue you in on the next level of utility for apps, the ones with many functions and ease of use you’ll definitely be looking for on the go! Read like a Native: The Google Translate app has really gone to the next level with their visual translation service option. You simply make sure the sign or words you need translated are in view of the camera and voila! Instant knowledge. Keeping Arrangements Together: Until recently, trying to coordinate hotel stays, flights, and ground transportation required multiple apps and a pinch of good luck. With TripCase, you can keep track of all details of your trip seamlessly in one app, and also follow others’ journeys. Plan to Bring a Pet: Traveling with pets is becoming de rigeur, but that doesn’t mean you can skimp on planning. The BringFido app lets users locate dog-friendly hotels, restaurants, and parks, as well as find local pet services like grooming and vet care. See the Bright Lights: Visiting a northern state or country and missing the aurora borealis would be tragic. Use the Aurora Alert app to help you determine when and where the lights will be most visible near you. Run in Place: If you’re a runner, a jogger, a walker, or even an ambler or stroller, you know that finding the right place to perambulate when you’re out of town can be a challenge. The WalkJogRun GPS Running Routes app gives you custom curated paths to follow and is compatible with your Apple Watch. Be Home, Wherever You Are: The Churchill Living app easily manages all aspects of your Churchill Living stay,  providing move in, move out instructions, building information, map and directions guide, building features, amenities information, and a troubleshooting guide. It also allows you to contact customer service, extend or vacate housing, and request special arrangements or services. Using all these apps may not turn you into a travel professional, but they will give you the tools and technology you need to thrive, no matter where you land! Another great way to travel like a pro?
