Today I have some tips about getting around when you travel. I download the associated app for whatever airlines I fly and join those frequent flyer clubs. This summer I used mostly American Airlines and Ryanair. If you like to make plans on the fly, this will save you so much time. Uber works in a number of European cities but it faces a lot of legal battles and regulations which are always changing. In Dublin, it’s linked to officially licensed taxis. The public transportation system is also generally quite good in Europe. I’ll download the Metro app for whatever major cities I’m traveling through. This summer I used the Paris Metro app and the LUAS app which is the light rail system in Dublin. Google Maps is my default navigator whether I’m at home or abroad so I’ll use that first to help me determine my local route. Then I’ll go to the LUAS app to get live schedule updates for the tram. And if the timing is off or I just want a faster connection, I’ll use Uber. I like the convenience of the in App automatic payment. If something happened and I was without cash or cards, I could still get around with my phone.
