Life is all about travelling and exploring new places. If you swear by the thought then here are the 7 best travel apps every traveler should have in his/her phone.
1. Hipcamp
Where Airbnb is for finding cool stays, Hipcamp is for finding the best and coolest camping spots. If you’re planning to move away from the crowd and soak in the beauty of nature, Hipcamp is the app for you. Rent a patch of grass at some of the most exotic and dreamy locales across the globe. The app which was first launched for only U.S citizens, has now spread to a lot of cities worldwide. The app has listed more than two thousand parks, more than eight thousands campgrounds and more than two lakhs campsites in total. Indeed, no shortage of open space.
2. Accommable
The app has a mission to enable anyone to go anywhere, including the disable. Because travelling is not limited for the physically fit, but even a wheelchair-bound can go to the remotest of locations. Incredibly, both its founders are wheelchair bound! The app was launched in 2015 as a website showcasing holiday rentals around the world accessible to the disabled. The app has detailed information about each of these properties, locality and the nearby services – thus, empowering the disable with a new sense of travelling.
3. Snapseed
Photography and travelling go hand-in-hand. Some travel to click astonishing pictures, while some click to save the best of their travel memories. Today, the majority of the tourists are equipped with a wide range of products processing high-quality images. Certainly they would require a software that can process their images easily. Enter Snapseed, the perfect companion for traveling photographers. Now edit, fine-tune and even Instagram-ready your images on the go, without opening your laptop.
4. Airbnb
Perhaps one of the best apps out there for travelers, Airbnb has reshaped the way travelers rented accommodation. This peer-to-peer accommodation platform, which plays around the realm of experiential travel, connects thousands of travelers with locals with insightful tips on where to stay, and what to see. The app is already widely successful and is a trusted name in the backpacker’s community.
5. TravelStarter
This app works on the same model as Kickstarter, except that it’s in the travel domain. Early started out as a website, it works as a global crowdfunding platform empowering travelers and travel enthusiasts to start or become a part of any local tourism project.

There are tons of things that you can do with this app.
6. Periscope
With a motto of letting you see the world from someone else’s eyes, Periscope was developed by the makers of Twitters. As a traveler, you can broadcast your photos, videos, and map locations to your followers from anywhere in the world. That’s like sharing you travel stories as you move.
