My favorite banking app when it comes to traveling !! It’s just soo easy to create accounts for any currency you want and to transfer money from one account to another. Use my link to get 70£ when you sign up!

Such an efficient way of travelling. Sometimes the time it takes in bus is not too long compared to a train and for the fraction of the price!! It’s definitely something to consider when you plan a trip!
FlixBus
I love this app for everything including trip planning!! This is where I compare hotels, keep track of activities I want to do, and all details related to my trips!

My favorite app to find activities to do in a new city. There’s also reviews from previous customers which helps yo determine if the activity is worthwhile. It also helps to keep all your bookings in one place instead of booking through each activity...
GetYourGuide Mobile Apps
Forget duolingo, if you want to learn a language seriously this is the best! You get to practice with natives and even get cash back when you complete the courses in the recommended time period!!
