My Favorite Travel Phone Apps

Almost every blogger seems to have their favorite phone apps and I'm no different except that my favorites are probably the most simple apps ever.

1. My camera phone- Your phone's camera is the most useful thing ever when traveling abroad because it's the memory that you will never have. I have used my phone camera for remembering how to get to school, taking pictures of the street signs by my house, pictures of the Korean name of my home bus stop to figure out what lines stop there and taking pictures of Google maps to remember my way if I don't have WiFi. Pictures have saved my worries and time, I am so thankful!

2. Instagram- to show the people back home what a wonderful time your having and making your pictures look good for you. I love.

3. A language app- I have Learn Korean and it's amazing. It's much faster than looking it up in a book, it will tell you haw to say it and if all fails you can show it to the person so they can read it in Korean. Derek and I went to dinner the other night and I looked up how to say beef and beer, a lifesaver!

4. I-message or another free text app- This has been great in helping me feel like I'm not that far from home because I can still text my friends.

5. Google- for all those obvious reasons

I have a new found love for technology and can't imagine coming to Korea without it! I have no clue how I would have found Derek without internet and home would feel so far away. I am flabbergasted at how amazing technology is and that I never really appreciated  its usefulness until now, and I don't even get internet on my phone all the time. Korea is amazing for its' internet connections, all I have to do is walk down a main street and I can usually connect.
