Forget silly things like “suitcases” and “passports.” The smartphone is easily the
most essential travel accessory of our time. How else will you get directions? Or pull up your boarding pass? Or take pictures? It’s amazing anyone ever took a vacation before them.
But to get the most out of said intelligent phone, you’re gonna need the right apps. And while we all know about the Kayaks and TripAdvisors, the Ubers and Google Translates, there are a many other incredibly useful (and FREE!) ones out there just waiting to be downloaded. Apps that direct you to the closest ATM or tell you exactly what to pack. Some you've heard of, others you haven't, but all are ready to help make your next trip that much easier. https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/the-most-essential-free-travel-apps-whatsapp-gasbuddy-and-foodspotting/tech
