\u201cI NEED A BREAK!\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How often do you go through this feeling? Personally, I go through it all the time. Okay, that\u2019s a bit of an exaggeration but yes, I try to get away as often as I can. The problem is, it\u2019s difficult to find a travel companion all the time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So I took the plunge and became a solo female traveller. So much so that I prefer it to travelling with company! Solo travel allows you to \u201cdo your own thing\u201d and at your own pace. You can cram all you want in a day, or just choose a spot under a tree and read from sunrise to sunset. One thing I\u2019ll say for sure after all these years of travelling \u2013 GOD BLESS THE SMARTPHONE!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Remember the time when the Lonely Planet was the holy grail of travel? While the book made for informative and entertaining reading, lugging around a book with the weight of a telephone directory made it cumbersome. Then technology blessed us and now we have all that information and more tucked into byte-sized travel apps. From preparing your itinerary to getting you the best hotel and travel deals, from laying out a red carpet of restaurants to pairing you with suitable company if you feel lonely, these solo travellers\u2019 apps make life easy and economical by curating experiences as per your need and budget. Some of them are so accurate with suggestions, it\u2019s almost like the app for solo trip has read your mind! (Also read: Common sense guide for Solo Woman Traveller<\/a>)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here is a list of the best apps for solo traveller that I turn to when I\u2019m in a new place or foreign land. Some of these may require you to share a few personal details like profile setup and location tracking, so be as accurate as possible to get the best results. I\u2019ve clubbed the apps under different heads to make it easier for you. Also, it\u2019s best to go through different apps for solo trip to see if they meet your requirements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My Pre-Travel Companion<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some would say travel is a state of mind. Those who are preparing for a trip know this to be true. Whenever I start planning a trip \u2013 I\u2019m already there. I picture where I\u2019ll be and what I\u2019ll do. It\u2019s the best kind of daydreaming. What brings me back to earth are the practical details of travel. How will I arrange for my forex? When is the best time to buy it? Should I go pick it up?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Travelling solo also means booking the trip solo. In the midst of my crazy work schedule, I\u2019ve found that the Thomas Cook Forex App allows me to order my forex online, sends me live information of the best rates and delivers it to my doorstep. What\u2019s more, I can even reload my prepaid forex card, multiple times, with the help of this app. With all these worries taken care of, I can get back to dreaming about my trip.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My best solo travel app for safety<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019m going to talk about safety first because this is one concern that tops the list, irrespective of whether you are a male or female solo traveller. Even if you don\u2019t need to use these apps (and I sincerely hope you never have to) I\u2019ve found these solo travellers apps, give you a sense of psychological well-being, which is a good place to be in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
