Our phones are utterly amazing and sometimes it is easy to forget that fact. There are like small computers in our pockets which gives us so many new opportunities, the ability to do so many things as well as the chance to improve our lives that many people never even imagined possible. They are calculators, they are games consoles, they are sat navs, they are cameras and they are even more.
Of course, this means that we take them everywhere, you never know when you might need your own pocket cinema or have to send a quick message to home. This makes them excellent travel companions and smartphones have changed everything about travel. Not only can they help get us around but they can also serve as our guides, they can help with translations and allow us to find the new coolest places to go.
It is wonderful what a difference they have made for travellers and with new technology coming to the market which can make travelling even easier there has never been a better time to take a trip. The google pixel buds, for example, allow you to speak in your language and translate it into another language which plays through your phone allowing you to have a two way conversation, it is just mind blowing.
Of course, for Canada, this is not so important as there are only two languages and most people can speak English, however there are some great apps which need to be one anyone’s phone heading to Canada. Apps to help you find places, apps to help you pass the time and apps to stay connected with home. Here are three of the best.
