let us begin you are now recording Thank
You GoPro I love apps apps love me we're
best friends as friends good me I do
have a mmm I do have a slight obsession
with apps I don't have many own for the
fact that I have to compensate photos
for app space and I think this is a very
relatable problem or is that just me
whoa look at that got a thing you got a
thing got a loop going on here we're
going to embrace it how are all my
little psychos today well y'all good
we're traveling the world right now
where are you let me know down below
where are you no second stalk you so
today I realized I made a top 5 app
video like right at the beginning of my
youtube career career Who am I I make 5
cents a week is luke loop is gonna go
gotta go
today I'm going to talk to you about the
must-have travel apps for 2015 I'm a big
f lover I have liked all of them ever
created and on that note this is not an
extensive list because we all know this
the same I ain't about extensive I ain't
about hours of research I'm about what
I've got my phone I'm going to tell you
about ok so the first couple of apps I'm
gonna talk about are all to do playing
which is quite an important part of
travel sometimes and the first one which
I use religiously is Skyscanner
and it is available on iOS and Android
both for free and you've probably used
Skyscanner before it really shocked me
if you didn't it's great for just
searching out the base prices using
different airlines it's a comparison
search that's all it is
but they have a great feature where you
can pick where you are at the moment for
example London and then the destination
you can click everywhere
at you and it's great because you can
see what she flights are going from
where you are at the moment it's just
good to get inspired and give you a lot
of inspiration for future trips how much
trips are going to cast you can also see
how flights fluctuate over the months
which I really like secondly once you've
booked a flight
see if that airline has an app because
with good airlines they not only have
good apps where you can download the
boarding pass onto your phone no
paperwork no trying to find a library to
print entire levels anything like that
and if you plan on going we want these
reputable companies then I'm sure their
app is as good as their service well
there's me just not myself I've ever
gained sponsorship with one of these
Airlines I could live without no leg
space now we're going to move on to
accommodation as you know because a few
videos ago I talked about 10 reasons why
you should try air B&B and now I'm going
to tell you to download their app if you
want to know what Airbnb is all about
and why you should be using it when you
travel so just click the video if you
don't know what Airbnb is but they have
an amazing app your profiles on there
you can book on the go it's just great
it's a very well-thought-out
well-developed
app again available on Android and iOS
the second accommodation related apps
I'm gonna talk about is couchsurfing if
you've never tried couchsurfing then you
are really missing out on great
opportunities everyone normally has an
issue with safety-related couchsurfing
and I'm not going to talk about in that
okay I'm not going to talk about that in
this video but let me know in the
comments if you'd like me to do it
because I couched up quite a bit out
here in Australia so I can you know we
can chat back that one day you really
fancy it but their app is really good
and it got me out of so many near miss
situations where I've got on a flight
somewhere with no accommodation booked
like no money literally that happened
when I went cans to Darwin and I got off
the plane turned my phone
and there was a response from this guy
saying yeah you more than welcome to
stay possible oh can we watch like the
notice of the light coming up because
the sun's going down so we've got to be
quick guys okay and the third app I'm
going to recommend is hostile world
their APIs okay it could be a lot better
I'm not the biggest fan but if you do
stay in hostels then it does work it is
really great again available on both iOS
and Android like most of the apps in
Becca talked about and you're able to
book on the go and I think this is just
a really good one to have on your phone
just in case you need it now we're going
to talk about chin legs and connectivity
I do enjoy a good chin wag so some of
the apps I would recommend because one
of the hardest things is to keep in
touch with loved ones back home as well
as keeping in touch with everyone you
just met on the road so of course coming
in and number one is Skype because
everyone wants to start their
conversation with can you hear me
oh this lighting is horrendous I am
really sorry it's kill me secondly on
communication I would recommend you
download viber I jumped on the viber
wagon really late as in about three
months ago and I loved it all my friends
who have met traveling habit so whenever
you connected to Wi-Fi it's like free
calls free messages free just everything
and secondly to viber you can get
whatsapp I'm not a fan of whatsapp
because I have viber and Facebook
Messenger
everyone has Facebook so I don't see the
need to have lots of different things so
yeah okay and talking of connectivity
there's a really good app called free
Wi-Fi finder basically it'll pick up
your current location and show you on a
map every like cafe restaurant museum
everything that has free Wi-Fi and
you'll tell you which ones nearest to
you whether it's free or you have to pay
for it and which one has the best
ratings and the best strength so I think
that is really good especially for
bloggers etc we like to keep online but
also fair one else as well it's a great
way to be able to find free Wi-Fi
instead of literally trailing through a
city just looking in cafe windows for
that beautiful sticker
says they have free Wi-Fi now we're
going to go onto geography there is an
app which I fell in love with this is
called the Snapseed Snapseed is my best
friend it shouldn't just everyone should
have it because if you think that my
amazing photographs they've taken on my
travels have not been edited on Snapseed
you are mistaken Snapseed is awesome
it's super easy to use and available for
you or your apple lovers and/or your
Samsung lovers it's available for all of
you and I would recommend it because
you're going to capture some amazing
photos when you travel so Snapseed can
add really subtle edits to that photo
and just make it like 10 times better
then if you can't see it you can share
it on maybe I don't know Instagram I've
gotta say I'm quite an Instagram girl
not obsessed like some people I'm not
constantly scrolling and double tapping
but I'll have a look now again and the
reason I use both these together is
because please don't use the filters on
Instagram they're horrendous and
terrible you Snapseed and have upload
onto Instagram but a better quality
photo and if you do photography for a
living or anything like that then
instead of jumping onto a Photoshop
every time and you want to just share
your photos on the go the literacy app
seat takes a couple of minutes just to
whack on a few edits and get out there
oh it's gonna be good coming coming
now we have a section called other
because I couldn't think of any more
categories in my other category we have
Google Translate absolutely in love with
this but don't get the opportunity to
use a much in Australia the only time I
do use Google Translate is when I meet
new people and their English isn't so
good the great thing with Google
Translate also is that you can take a
picture of a menu or a road sign
highlight the bit you want translated
and it will translate from iPhoto into
text in English for you or whatever
language you want how amazing is that
another other app is offline maps and
navigation it is available on Android
and iOS have
different version which I will put the
links all the links all these apps are
in the description box so don't worry so
they're very similar and basically when
you have Wi-Fi you download a map with a
city or an entire country and then when
you're out and about because if you
don't have a SIM card and you don't be
using your data abroad which no one
should ever ever do biggest scam of the
century then you can use these maps
offline and it's pretty cool before this
lighting takes over my face
cuz no one wants to see my face I'm
hidden in the shadows I am gonna
recommend Foursquare I'm not I don't
check in on Foursquare or anything like
that
I love how when you have downloaded the
app it's full randomly pop when you're
walking through a city and say Tom Jones
just recommended a place near you or
reviewed a place near you and it's
really good if you want to eat because
you can just just go on the app and
you'll tell you prices and reviews and
if you're really tired you don't be
trading around and finally my final
must-have travel app is currency
converter or you can get exhale or you
can get X even see both of these apps I
think it's pretty self-explanatory
you pick your currencies and you'll tell
you what the latest exchange rate is
really really useful when you first
arrived in the country and you're still
getting used to the 1 million to $1 kind
of thing going on I don't know so there
you have it those are all the travel
apps that I use oh no I missed one the
final final travel app is TripIt I use
this obsessively when I first started
traveling when I was 19 I don't use it
so much now but this is amazing you can
set it up to scan your Inbox
so when you have flight confirmations
and accommodation confirmations and all
that coming in the automatically put it
onto this app in a day to day view and
you've got all your confirmations on
like one page and it just has it so
beautifully laid out and I really
appreciate that
especially if you really like to be
organizing a
OCD then trip it is for you and it's
free the free version is awesome
I wouldn't ever recommend the pro
version if you're just backpacking
around but if you're a business person
then the pro version might be good for
you but if not then take the free one
okay this is a ridiculously long video
so I'm going to say goodbye now don't
forget you can subscribe click that
button down below join the family the
very strange travel difficut you can
also go onto a Facebook Twitter and
Instagram all that psycho traveler but
the links are down there with a million
other links to both Android and iOS of
all the apps I just spoke about see how
much I love me do you see the love
probably not because you probably can't
see my face
winning doodles yes we have very little
money if Yuri don't have enough money
that you can afford food and you have to
go to a homeless food van to get your
meal then maybe you should go home this
absolutely enrages me it disgusts me how
dare you take food that is there for
people who are in real need of it go and
live of 10 cents noodles like the rest
of us do until you get another job
