When Richard Rygg, the cofounder of HipGeo, sailed with his family last year through the islands of French Polynesia, he used his company’s app to document the experience. The result is a multimedia blog complete with a GPS track of his adventure, and a collection of dozens of geo-tagged photos of sunsets, beaches and bays. “It’s so cool for me to go back,” Rygg said. “I can see where we were in the region, and how great the sunsets were. I know exactly where we were, where we came from, and where we were headed.”
As an avid world traveler I have always been frustrated with keeping receipts and paperwork of what I bought straight. The night before returning home I am stressed to get all my receipts in order so I know what I have to declare at our border. I found a great app, it's called Simply Declare and it just makes my life so easy. It tells me how much I spent, in current currency rates, takes a picture, and created the perfect list for me and my husband. It's the best buck I have spent on an app for travel. Simply Declare is just simply perfect for the world traveler.
