HearPlanet If you love a good tour guide when traveling somewhere new, this is an app you probably won’t be able to live without once you download it. HearPlanet tells you what attractions are nearby and then plays the Wikipedia description aloud.

Air Sharing Called “a dream come true for mobile workers” by Macworld, this app is something special. This app is great for anyone who finds themselves constantly downloading docs  abroad, and spending lots of money to do so. Air Sharing lets you save HTML Web pages, PDFs, text files, you name it, for off-line perusal anytime, anywhere.

IAmHere If you sharing, and want your friends to know exactly where you are in the world, IAmHere  will do that for you. This application use GPS and Wifi to acquire the location, or use map to have you set the location.

Great Apps for Business Travelers Heading on your next business trip soon? Here are some great apps to help along the way. From packing and dining to navigating subways and language, these apps will certainly make your trip easier and more enjoyable!

  Virtual Carry-On: Tips to Overcome Travel Anxiety When it comes to travel, especially air-travel, it is very common for many to feel anxiety. While some people get a little bundle of nerves as they’re about to embark on a long flight, others find themselves completely paralyzed with fear.  Even if you suffer from travel anxiety and are getting on a plane this holiday season, you still can enjoy your travels! Here’s some great advice from BoardingArea.com on how to deal with these emotions.

  Food for Flight: Getting ready to fly? Eat This, Not That! You’re headed to the airport in a few hours, and plan on just grabbing something to eat before you board the plane. Hold on! There are a few things you should know about what you put into your stomach before and during your flight. Here are some tips and suggestions on the best things to eat while traveling, and those you could do without!

Book Lovers, Unite! The Coolest Bookstores in the U.S.

When checking out a new city for the first time, many want to discover all of the unique restaurants, shopping and museums it has to offer. When you’ve got a passion, though, such as books – you just might want to check out the book stores in the area too. We’re not talking about your run of the mill Barnes and Noble, we’re talking about these one-of-a-kind, funky, independent bookstores that give a city charm and have a great story behind their start. Each interesting and special in their own way, we’ve rounded up a few of the coolest book stores in America.

Gear Guide: Don’t Leave Home Without These Items (When On the Road!)

When traveling, it’s easy to remember the important stuff to pack: the right clothes, enough underwear, your toothbrush and medications. But there are all those other things that are often forgotten, debated and left at home, or not even considered all along. Here are a few items that we consider to be some of the most important of all. Next time you’re packing for a trip (big or small), add these to your list.

Traveling With Sports Equipment: What You Should Know

Whether you’re quite the athlete or someone who just loves a certain sport, it’s not unlikely that you’ll be traveling with sporting equipment at some point on your life, be it for a business trip or vacation. If you’re planning to golf, ski or play baseball while away, there’s certain equipment of your own you may want to bring with you. What’s important to note is that there are restrictions are on certain items. Regardless of the size or type of equipment, you should make a point to familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations so you don’t run into any problems at the airport.

The great thing about a vacation is that it allows us to take a step back from our everyday lives and really experience something special. For many of us, the opportunity to do some good while we’re away from home enhances our vacation that much more. If you’re looking to go on a trip where you can also help out the environment, rest assure that there are many options out there for you! The Daily Green rounded up a great list of fifteen eco-friendly volunteer vacations, perfect for the traveler looking to walk away with a valuable volunteer experience while away. Below are just a few of the fantastic opportunities available, click here for the full list!

Protect sea turtles while patrolling Costa Rican beaches. Each year the endangered leatherback, green and hawksbill turtles come to the beaches of Parismina, Costa Rica to nest. Unfortunately, poachers also frequent those beaches. It was with these turtles in mind that the Asociacion Salvemos Las Tortugas De Parismina (ASTOP) was started. The agency was founded by local residents who patrolled the beaches at night to stop poachers and protect sea turtles during their nighttime nesting routine. Volunteers can patrol the beaches while also collecting data on these amazing creatures. 

Make the desert bloom in Israel. Deep in the heart of the Israeli desert lies one of the greenest places you could volunteer, Kibbutz Lotan. This low-impact organization boasts composting (no water) toilets, a passive cooling system and shared gray-water systems, to help conserve water. As a volunteer you’ll help with organic gardening, creative recycling projects for visitors (shown here) and construction needs around the kibbutz (in fact, you’ll stay in a straw-bale and mud geodesic dome campus that was created by previous volunteers) among other projects. 

Explore old Europe in a new way. Maintaining ancient forests in England, protecting wetlands in Germany, building nests on the Black Sea in Bulgaria: These are not your typical European vacation activities. But each promises an unforgettable experience. Toss out your travel guidebooks and explore a foreign country while helping to protect it with a BTCV Conservation Holiday. (That acronym used to stand for British Trust for Conservation Volunteers, but now they simply go by BTCV.) The organization offers conservation holidays around the world but focuses mainly in the U.K. and other parts of Europe. 

Explore the Rockies on the Colorado Trail. The Colorado Trail was built by volunteers, back in the mid-1980s, and each summer volunteer groups organized by the Colorado Trail Foundation set out to remove downed trees, fix signs and markers, educate trail users and generally keep the trails open for everyone to use. Volunteer vacationers camp out in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, cooking, eating and working together.

Depending on where you’re flying this holiday season, you may potentially be up in the air for an entire day. If you feel like a flight from the east to west coast is almost too much to take, imagine flying from New York City all the way to Australia. Let’s just say, it’s pretty crazy. Independent Traveler  recently wrote a piece, 10 Ways to Survive a Long Haul Flight. We love their tips, and wanted to share some below. You can see the full article here!

Upgrade. When traveling long-haul, you have no better friend on the planet than your frequent flier miles. On the Tokyo - Newark flight I was disappointed to see come to an end, I enlisted the help of my travel agent to find flights on which I could burn up all of my Continental miles to upgrade my entire trip. It meant catching puddle jumpers to my final destination in Japan (Gifu), but a couple of short extra flights were a small price to pay for 27 hours of first-class legroom, fully reclining chairs, edible meals, entertainment and breathing space.

Escape. You will want to have a rock-solid plan for frittering away several hours of your flight, and I don't mean working; staring at spreadsheets and writing proposals may burn up hours, but it does not make them vanish. You want these hours to disappear almost without a trace. Think headphones and Hollywood blockbusters. Getting a lot of work done is fine -- rarely do you have 15 consecutive hours without a phone or e-mail, so I encourage bringing some work -- but work will fail you when you get to the brutal middle hours of this ordeal. Headphones and Hollywood; don't stray from this.

Bring your go-to gear. When it comes to surviving flights, I am not a gear guy. I can't be bothered to lug around neck pillows, eye masks, earplugs, noise-canceling headphones, etc. --except on a long-haul flight. As I note above, your total carry-on haul should be limited, but you may want to consider some of these relatively small survival tools. Your body and brain will thank you for every small comfort you can provide, and the inconvenience of packing and carrying these around is dwarfed by the misery of 15 hours in flight with crying children, pilot announcements, engine noise and a major crick in your neck. Gear up.

Board relatively rested. Don't count on a long-haul flight as a good place to catch up on sleep -- it's not. As attractive and intuitive as it seems to get on a long-haul flight extremely tired, hoping to sleep the whole way, you are in for a world of hurt if you can't sleep for any reason. You will be on the plane long enough to catch a few winks even if you are somewhat rested, and my advice is to take it when it comes; if your eyes start to droop, get out the eye covers and earplugs, and go with it. If you throw away a solid two-hour nap on a few extra rounds of Angry Birds, you might well be angry at yourself later.

Let’s face it, kids and traveling don’t always go hand in hand. Often, all adults can ask for is that their children cooperate and don’t get too antsy while on a plane, train, or long road trip. While some adults aren’t all that fond of their kids spending hours in front of a screen, many will admit that when it comes to those hours spent traveling, items like their iPhone and tablet have become a real savior! The great thing is, there are tons of apps out there that are educational and fun, which is a win-win for both adults and kids. Here are a few great apps for kids to take with them on their next trip.

PBS Kids Video App: Ages 2–9 This is a great app for kids who enjoy PBS KIDS television series. This app features more than 1,000 videos from over a dozen top PBS KIDS and PBS KIDS GO! Series, including shows such as The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That and Sesame Street, to name a few. The app is child-friendly and easy for kids to navigate by browsing and watching videos at home or on the road. Alfred This app is simply awesome! It’s perfect to help a child explore a new city for the first time. Alfred the robot concierge acts as your guide through U.S. travels. In the beginning Alfred will ask questions about what kinds of restaurants you like. Then he’ll start recommending places so you can approve or deny. The more you use Alfred, the better he is at choosing places you love. Then, when you get to a new town, you can trust his picks based on previous favorites. This is a clever travel app for the whole family to use together.

Stack the States A fantastic app for any child who is interested in geography, and the perfect app for a long plane ride across the U.S.! Kids will learn about states and their shapes, capitals, and other locations in this four-in-one game with cartoon states. Kids can stack, tumble and slide them around like puzzle pieces. There are various levels, and each time a level is completed, you earn a state to add to your country map.

Kids Maps Another great map app for kids. Unlike some of the other map apps for kids, this one doesn’t have too much fluff, but is rather based on a simple premise: See the state and drag it to its correct place on the map. The design is fun and colorful, and the app provides interesting and funny facts about each state, such as, “North Dakota. North Dakota is where lots of geese live.” It’s an app that can absolutely educate, and is great for the adults too!

Sunday Drive This app is fun and entertaining, and great for the whole family. It turns the dull and potentially boring car ride or road trip into an exciting part of your day or vacation. This app points out scenic routes along the way, historical landmarks, fun places to eat and local hidden gems that you may be missing! It’s certainly great app to spice up a long car ride.
