The cell phone is a fundamental tool for many, whether for work, personal use or traveling, the ease and practicality of smartphones make everything simpler in different situations. That's why Tarobá Hotel selected a list of the apps most used by solo travelers that make it easier to hit the road.
• Pocket: is an application that allows you to store internet links to view in the future, even offline. Those who travel use the internet a lot, especially Wi-Fi since using 3G generates more expenses, especially in international destinations.
• Google Maps: The application not only serves as a GPS, but also helps you get to your destination faster, even via public transport or on foot, also indicating landmarks close to your route, such as pharmacies, markets, restaurants and tourist attractions.
• Tinder: Believe me, the dating app is not strictly for flirting and arranging meetings, but many travelers are using this app to get quick information about nearby places where they are. A dedicated application was created for this type of use, Tripr, although little known, it is a reference among travelers.
• TripAdvisor: infallible! The application is similar to a collaborative tourist guide, where the user provides their opinion about the place they stayed, such as hotels and hostels, sightseeing tours, clubs and restaurants. A great quality of this app is that users can also upload photos of the places they have visited, allowing travelers to get to know the destination they are going to even better.

• Moovit: is a free public transport app that covers 67 countries in more than 1.200 cities, including Foz do Iguaçu, and is available in 43 languages, including Portuguese. The app consists of locating the best public transport routes and the time of arrival.
• BlaBlaCar: The app is more aimed at those who travel by car, as the app allows you to find passengers for free seats or drivers who are going to the same destination. The highlight of the application is the “Just for them” option, which allows the same functions already mentioned, however, only for women.

• Uber: Uber has low prices, which are easy on the wallet, and private drivers take you wherever you ask.
• PACKING YOUR BAGS
Every trip requires planning, knowing where you are going to stay, the weather, travel and stay time, hotel, etc. But the most fundamental thing is to know what you are going to carry, especially if you are traveling alone, after all, no one will help you carry your bags, so only take with you what you need, such as: hygiene and bath materials, a towel, two pants, two shorts, 4 t-shirts, underwear and socks, blouse, a pair of flip-flops and a sneaker. With a suitcase like this, there's plenty of space to carry some essential utensils for certain destinations. Sometimes it's easier to pack your things in a backpack than in a suitcase.
