Facilities for those traveling alone

Curiosity and desire for everything new seems to be intrinsic to human beings, always searching for more and aiming to surpass their limits and horizons.

Today, thanks to technology, we can travel to distant destinations in a short time, reaching places that were previously impossible or extremely difficult.

Today everything is easier, with the advancement of technology, we can solve simple doubts or solve problems with a simple touch.

And, with tips from the Tarobá Hotel – the best 3-star hotel in the triple border, your only difficulty will be deciding which destination to go to.

But if you haven't visited Foz do Iguaçu yet, we recommend putting our city at the top of the list.

•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 sneakers.

With a suitcase like this, there's plenty of space to carry some essential utensils for certain destinations.

•Advance reservations

Knowing where to stay is as important as knowing where you are going.

Large cities and tourist destinations tend to be full or crowded most of the time, as is the case of Foz do Iguaçu.

Therefore, booking in advance, in addition to guaranteeing your stay with comfort and quality, can also save you a lot of money.

As there are usually excellent discounts on flights and hotels for those who book well in advance.

•Applications

A cell phone is a fundamental tool for anyone traveling alone.

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:

It's 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.

WiFi Finder:

The name itself says it all. The application searches for Wi-Fi networks in the nearest networks, separating free networks from those with a password, indicating which has the best signal.

In some cases, it even reveals the password for private networks.

XE Currency:

The most used currency converter application in the world.

With this app you can convert any currency and precious metal in the world, where exchange rate updates are made every 1 minute.

It is essential for international travel or border destinations.

Eatwith:

This app is intended for those travelers who don't like solitude during meals.

Eatwith allows you to dine at a local's home, it's very simple: you open the app, choose the city, the type of cuisine, an average of how much you want to spend and the app returns you with the best options.

Moovit:

It 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.

Foursquare:

In this app you can find tips and content about the main places in your destination, such as tourist attractions and restaurants.

It not only helps you select the best locations, but also gives the opinion of visitors who will pass by the place.

Party with a local:

Traveling alone is interesting, partying alone is not. With this app, tourists can meet local guys and go to parties together!

There are more than 150 thousand users in more than 150 countries.
