10 TRAVEL APPS WE LOVE 
All of the apps below make travelling infinitely easier and more efficient allowing you can get the absolute most out of your adventure.
TRIPIT - Organizes your trip
TripIt is a travel organizing app that creates a master itinerary for your trip.
Once you’ve made your travel bookings, you simply forward your flight, hotel, car rental and other travel confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com and the app will create a viewable file that acts as a personalized information hub.
TripIt also makes it easy to share your travel plans with friends family or colleagues.
There’s also a pro level you have to pay for that unlocks more functions like real-time flight alerts, an alternate flight finder and a pick-a-seat option.
TripIt is like having your very own personal assistant making sure your travel plans go off perfectly.
TRAVWELL - Manages your health while on your trip
The TravWell app provides practical tips for preventing and managing illnesses while travelling abroad.
Created by the Centres for Disease Control in Atlanta, TravWell provides immunization info for hundreds of destinations and countries.
The app keeps a record of your medications and immunizations and will remind you to get vaccine booster doses or take medicines while you’re travelling.
It stores your passport details, country visas, doctor contact info, drivers license numbers, health insurance info and any other important documents you may need while abroad.
There’s also a checklist of what you need to do to prepare for travel and a customizable healthy travel packing list.

CANIMMUNIZE - Stores your vaccination records
If you love the US-based Centres for Disease Control but prefer to patronize a Canadian version of the TravWell app this is it.
Created by the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute CANImmunize securely stores your vaccination records and helps you get vaccinated on time.
The app is a hub of information about vaccines and vaccinations.
It has a knowledge centre, interactive maps, and will alert you to outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.
It also provides fun learning about vaccinations with games videos and a kids comic book.

CITYMAPPER - Connects you with local public transportation
Citymapper is the ultimate urban transport app.
Inside the app you can find local bus, ferry, tram, subway, and train stations, routes, times, and schedules.
You can also find out where and how to use alternative types of public transport including ride-sharing services, bicycles, scooters, motorbikes, and mopeds.
You can even subscribe to specific bus, train or subway lines and the app will alert you when you need to get off – which is handy when you’re riding public transport for the first time in a new country.
Citymapper is smart, user-friendly, good for the planet, and gets you to your destination the quickest easiest way possible.
We can’t say enough about this tool.

WIFI MAP - Finds the closest wifi hotspots
WIFI MAP targets travellers who absolutely need to be online.
Touch the app and it geo-locates where you are and then displays every free wifi hotspot in the surrounding area on a digital map.
You can also pre-search wifi hot spots in places you plan to go to.
All WIFI hotspots are crowd-sourced from fellow travellers so the maps are precise and up-to-date.
WIFI MAP is free, popular, and it can plug you into more than 500 million free wifi hotspots around the globe.
GOOGLE TRANSLATE/DUOLINGO - Translates/teaches you languages
Two great but entirely different language apps.
Google Translate (GT) can translate multiple forms of text and media, including text, speech, images, websites, and real-time video into more than 100 different languages.
It’s not always perfect but it’s incredibly good, so good it’s hard to imagine travelling without this app.
Duolingo is a language tool that allows you to learn basic local words and phrases using easy-to-play word games.
It’s particularly good for people who are brushing up on a language they already have some familiarity with.
It won’t replace an actual language lesson, but it’s a lot of fun, very effective, and an excellent primer before you head abroad.
WOLFRAM SUN EXPOSURE - Protects you from a nasty sunburn
We all know we should apply and reapply sunscreen and sunblock but it’s easier said than done.
The Wolfram Sun Exposure app is challenging that assumption.
This extremely basic app geo-locates your location, asks you to describe your skin type, the date and time of day you plan to be outside, and the SPF of your sunscreen.
It then calculates how long you can be in the sun without burning.
A simple safety-first solution that helps protect your skin.
WHATSAPP - Let's you stay in touch with people you meet
WhatsApp is a great way to chat or stay in touch with people you meet abroad.
With more than a billion users worldwide it’s highly likely you’ll run into someone that uses this service.
You’ll still need a data connection or WIFI to be able to send messages but the app itself is free and will allow you to talk or text with anyone anywhere in the world for free.
(Which means it’s also a good way to keep in touch with your friends and family back home).

TROVER - Shares your travel photos with a community of travel lovers
Trover is basically Instagram for travellers.
The app lets you post and share geo-tagged photos from your travels, meet and follow like-minded travellers, share travel tips, and save inspirational places and activities to your very own bucket list.
You can choose from categories like What’s Hot, What’s New, or Top Trovers to discover great photos and new places to go and see around the world.
You can also search for images via descriptive categories such as Iconic Places, Extreme Adventures, Disappearing Destinations, Castles of Old Europe, or Art.
Follow experienced, well-travelled Trovers in the newsfeed or browse cool local images from the “Nearby” menu.
But mainly Trover is a place for you to post your own awesome finds and make lists of places you love or want to visit.
It’s the ultimate visual wish-list of everything you have ever dreamed of seeing and doing.
"The Burnaby location has very nice staff that makes your less than fun stay much better (who likes being stuck by one or more needles). They give vaccinations for basically anything that you could need wile out travelling the world. "
