One of the best ways to meet new people while on the road is to use a dating app like Tinder. It is actually an effective tool, really.

The stigma that comes with using social apps, specifically dating apps, are slowly fading away. But these are opening opportunities on how people use social networks. Sure, you can read as many travel reviews and guides as you want that are available online, but what these social networks offer are tips and secrets only people who actually live in the certain can divulge.

But if you are a bit shy on using those sort of apps, then Packsmith gathered 5 everyday apps to fuel your adventure.

Tinder

Don't start judging people who uses this app. For some, it may be to quench some thirst for attention and short romance, but for others, this app can actually help you connect to your next destination.

Believe it or not, a lot of people have been using this app during their solo-travels either to practice a second language, strike a conversation, and maybe gain a lifelong friendship. Of course, having a physically attractive person to do it with is a bonus! Just make sure to keep your settings less than 5-10 miles and the age limit a few years older than yours.

Appy Hour for Cheap Drinks

Travel is about sulking the genuine nature of the place. Although, museums and landmarks do the trick, you can't actually have a conversation with those relics.

So, Appy Hour is a happy-hour app to guide you on the cheapest bars to grab a drink. For now, this is designed for Reykjavik, Iceland. Keep this in mind if you ever plan on visiting the country one of these days.

XE Currency

Hopping from country to country can be a bit tricky when you are just starting your journey. It is better to keep track of your savings and just to check if what you're spending in a foreign country still keeps up with your budget.

One Receipt

If you've ever traveled to Europe, then you may have known that VAT is reimbursable at the airport. You just have to keep your receipt.

What this app does is to compile all your receipts and link them to your email account with just a snap of a photo. Amazing, right?

Duolingo

Have you ever dreamed of being multilingual? Then, this app might just suit you.

Duolingo is a foreign languages app where you can learn multiple ones at a time. It also keeps you on track by sending daily, weekly or monthly reminders that you have been missing courses. Plus, this will be a great tool to prepare a basic conversation depending on the country your in.
