It’s amazing how technology has made family travel adventures so much easier these days. By using apps like Google Maps or Duolingo, mom and dad need not bring dictionaries, maps, and other travel paraphernalia to make the most out of a destination. All they need to do is get online to find the best information.

Trip Advisor, for example, can help families book the best accommodation with the help of unbiased reviews from travelers. Through Trip Advisor, mom and dad would also have a good idea about which museums to see, which restaurants to dine in, and which attractions to visit.

If the family’s going to a destination where English isn’t the the widely spoken language, they can prepare for their trip with Duolingo. It’s a free and well-designed language learning app, which can help travelers with basic grammar and vocabulary.

Google Maps would help them get to these destinations. Through Google Maps, families can navigate the streets and thoroughfares of a particular city in real time. Google Maps also give travelers updates on live traffic, road closures and traffic incidents. Another helpful app is XE, which converts currencies pronto. Keeping track of shopping purchases is thus made easier.

And of course, when the traveling family wants to connect with their loved ones back home, they can chat away through Viber.

But perhaps the most important digital assistant that families should have on their phones while traveling is the #MySmart app. A self-service platform allowing subscribers to manage their accounts online, #MySmart app lets them retrieve account information, check balances, and activate/deactivate services. With #MySmart, families can activate international roaming in an instant, making travel smooth and hassle-free.
