Backpacker Hacks: 7 Travel Apps You Shouldn't Leave Home Without

Over the past few years, I've downloaded and deleted hundreds of apps, weeding through the baddies and sorting through the goodies to find the ones that are useful. The travel apps you need RIGHT NOW are the ones that will help you in every stage of your travel. During your road trip, layovers at the airport, or walking the streets of New York City. These are your best friends, the ones you won't be able to live without. If you roam between countries, you'll really appreciate the map app I mention in the slideshow below, because it allows you to download the maps beforehand, so you don't need to use up all your data searching for directions from point A to point B. Another will locate all of the attractions, restaurants and must-dos in the area with one tap of your finger. There's even an app that will translate a sign into English by just taking a picture of it. These travel apps will make your trip that much more enjoyable. They'll help you stay organized, save you time, money and a whole lot of hassle. Click through for 7 travel apps you shouldn't leave home without! -By Nadia Carriere
