\"Apps<\/a>
Are you ready to travel and put these travel apps to good work?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Your departure date is quickly approaching and you are nothing but excited. Your parents on the other hand\u2026 They\u2019re worried. Despite your numerous conversations about how safe traveling to Europe is, how responsible you\u2019ve become and how AESU has been taking college age groups to Europe since the 1970s, mom and dad aren\u2019t sold. Downloading these apps might help ease their minds while you\u2019re abroad and who knows, you might even use a couple them. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Apps for Travel Safety<\/h2>\n

Travel SOS !<\/span> – Install Travel SOS ! and you will always know how to get in contact with local emergency services while you are traveling. Just let the app access your location services and it will tell you police numbers and other 911-type information for where ever you are, no matter the country. Free but needs network access<\/i><\/p>\n

Carbonite<\/span>– Let\u2019s be honest. We\u2019re not always aware of our surroundings when we\u2019re traveling. Florence\u2019s Duomo is stunning but that break-taking moment also takes away your awareness of your surroundings. Now you are the perfect target for pickpockets. Should your phone get nicked, Carbonite will help make the experience less awful. But it\u2019s still going to be pretty awful. Carbonite automatically backs up your pictures and information so you won\u2019t lose those shots from your amazing river cruise in Paris or, even worse, the number of that cute guy you met in Amsterdam. Carbonite also has a remote locate feature. So before you start panicking, you can make sure you really have lost your phone and it\u2019s not just hiding at the bottom of your purse. \u00a0If you phone actually is stolen, Carbonite lets you destroy your personal information from afar. It even lets you access your camera so you can take a picture of the jerk who stole your phone. Free but needs at least internet access<\/i><\/p>\n

Smart Traveler<\/span>– Smart Traveler was made by the US State department so you know it\u2019s legitimate- i.e. definitely an app to mention to your parents. It provides you with up to the minute State Department warnings and situational updates. Smart Traveler also lets you register with the local embassy on your smartphone. But it\u2019s not all business! Give this app a shake and it will give you random facts on foreign countries. \u00a0Free but needs at least \u00a0internet access<\/i><\/p>\n

Sun Screen Reminder<\/span>– This app probably won\u2019t save your life right now\u2026 but it might in 20 years. Sun damage sucks and being sunburnt on vacation is no fun. It also makes you look weird in pictures. So download this app and enjoy the Mediterranean sun with the peace of mind that you won\u2019t forget to re-apply! Free and works without internet or network access<\/i><\/p>\n
