Use Social Apps for Travelers
Earlier, we talked about how much Party with a Local app rocks, but what if you want to travel with another traveler? Well, there’s an app for that, too. Just download Travel Buddies and/or Backpackr on your smartphone and connect with fellow travelers. It’s always safer to travel in groups, but just make sure you don’t connect with a creep.
There’s also a helpful chat function where you can get travel tips from other folks. Of course, they might not be as familiar with the layout of a foreign country, but at least they can tell you what to look out for.
