7 Travel Apps That Are Total Gamechangers
I’ve been traveling the world and living out of my suitcase for the past 4 years. Along the way, I’ve discovered some travel apps that totally changed the way I travel.
And whether you travel a lot or only occasionally take a trip, these 7 travel apps will come in handy whenever you hit the road next!
Check out the my TikTok sharing all 7 apps here:
1. Airalo
Why I love this travel app: You can have cell data anywhere in the world without changing your number, worrying about a physical SIM or incurring high roaming charges.
Just download the app, pick which country your traveling to and buy the plan that works for you!

2. Grabr
Why I love this travel app: You can earn money by picking up items in one destination and dropping them off when you arrive. It’s a brilliant and simple way to offset (or completely cover!) the cost of your travels!
Some travelers earn over $900 in a single trip.
Highest paying destinations include São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, Moscow, Lima, Mumbai and more!

3. Radical Luggage Storage
Why I love this travel app: Find immediate luggage storage in any city for just $5 a bag.
If you’ve ever had a long layover and want to go explore a city, it’s a great way to drop off your bags in a protected place. Or if you have to check out of an Airbnb early but still have the day left to explore… this way you don’t have to carry your bags around with you!

Just select your city, pop in your headphones and the app will walk you through an entire guided tour. You can start and stop at anytime. It also includes clear and easy to follow directions as you walk through Europe’s most fascinating cities. And it’s totally FREE.

Hello Emily,
It’s good to see a female blogger independently blogging about all things related to travel. Doing something you truly love to do as a business from the heart can lead to achieving more than healthy streams of passive income from affiliate marketing and travel blogging. Especially, when you show others how to successfully follow your lead.
I just stumbled upon your blog post about the 7 game-changing travel apps and had to take a moment to thank you for such an insightful share. As someone who loves to explore but often struggles with the logistics, your recommendations are a breath of fresh air. Airalo and Grabr, in particular, caught my eye for their unique solutions to common travel dilemmas. Your passion for travel shines through your writing, making it not only informative but also a joy to read. Keep up the fantastic work, Emily. (smile)
Thank you for making travel seem a little less daunting and a lot more exciting. 🙂
