Now, this isn't completely necessary, but if you are anything like me - spending everyday, recounting down the days till your trip, then let this app do it for you!
The full app costs 69p and lets you have up to 20 countdowns at a time. You can set the date, picture and also name each one.
You can download Big Day Lite, which is for free, but you only get to have one countdown. so that would be perfect for holiday goers.

Like the website, this free app allows you to see currency exchanges. Always a good idea to have when travelling.

When backpacking a lot of people don't usually want to bring an expensive phone. I will be bringing my iPhone, as to me, with all the apps that can help in a lot of situations. Most importantly to me, contacting home!
Another reason is for apps like this. Whilst backpacking sometimes you are so exhausted from travelling, you just want to find a place to lay your head ASAP. This app allows you to search your current location or a different location for hostels. You can then read reviews, see the prices and book through this free app. That all gets a thumbs up if you ask me.

Select to translate form one language to another. Simples.
5 . S k y p e .
Of course, this app would crop in there somewhere. Contacting friends and family all over the World is needed for those homesick days.
If you have an iPhone there is also Facetime, but not everyone (especially my mum) has an iPhone.
Just create an account before you go and start getting your friends to add you then you can speak and see each other without having to pay a penny. Just look for some free WIFI and you're sorted!
