Best apps to use when traveling

Traveling during the holidays can either be a hassle or incredibly convenient, or even both. It’s a good thing that these days, we now have apps and platforms that help improve our convenience when going out of our homes and allow us to actually enjoy the holidays we booked out. Apart from the usual Waze, Google Maps, and the like, we listed down other apps that could aid you in your travels. Check them out!

Airbnb

Booking accommodations have gotten easier thanks to Airbnb. If you prefer to rent vacation homes rather than hotel rooms, this platform will be able to help you out with its listings. You can search for rentals by its price, neighborhood, amenities, and the like. The app works not only in the Philippines but across the globe as well.

Skyscanner

Airlines may have their own booking websites and apps but having to go through every single one of them just to look for cheap and affordable flight is a time-consuming task. Enter Skyscanner, an app where you can find and compare the most budget-friendly flights to any destination. You may also book hotels and car rentals using this application.

looloo Philippines

If you’re looking for new places to explore, you might want to get the looloo Philippines app. You can search for places nearby or for specific areas in any city in the Philippines, read reviews about it, get directions, and even view the food menu or services that they are offering. You may also leave your own reviews and ratings of the places you’ve tried out.

San Bidet

One of the worst things ever is having that urge to do a Number 2 but end up in a restroom that’s unclean, has no bidet, or no tissues at all. San Bidet aims to solve that problem by offering places in the Philippines that have clean restrooms and are equipped with the ever-elusive bidet.
