Favorite 4 Friday is my favorite 4 things on the 4th Friday of each month. The theme changes each month, and this month is about all about travel apps. Now that it’s spring I am out most weekends exploring or camping. Each trip I learn something new or find a new app that I can’t live without. Each trip is different and I have learned something what works and what doesn’t work.
- Loves Travel App – I like stopping at big gas stations either Loves, Flying J, etc. Being in the midwest, there are Loves everywhere. While I was stopped at one, I saw all the benefits that you can receive based on how many points you accumulate. There are 4 different levels based on how many gallons is purchased. There is an option that there is 1 shower credit per 50+ gallons. During the summer, I can accumulate a lot of credits which would be good place to shower while traveling.
- Google Maps – I hope nothing ever goes wrong with google, because I literally have my whole life in there. I have been typically used the map that is on my phone, but lately I have been using my google maps more. I have a big trip planned this summer and another blogger has a google map with a bunch of destinations already saved.
- Atlas Obscura – Atlas Obscura is site of unique and hidden gems across the United States. I wish I knew about this app and site sooner. I have been to the website several times, but it wasn’t until my last trip that I found out there was an app. On my last trip, I stopped in Lincoln, IL using the app was Lincoln Watermelon Park, and a building with a telephone booth on top.
- Packing Cubes – Packing cubes have been a lifesaver lately. There are so many different ways to use the cubes. Right now, I like to pack each outfit for everyday goes in one cube. When I went to Vegas for a week, I put all like items together because I knew when I got there I would unpack. There are several different types, and I have tried them. l personally like the zipper cubes that compress.
