Big Cat Rescue iPhone Application Review

When I was in elementary school I used to play with a group of students, most girls and a few boys, during recess. What would we play? Cats, or some kind of variation of cats. Usually tigers, where we would create these elaborate social systems and story lines as a pack of tigers living in a jungle somewhere unnamed.

Even as an adult, I love big cats. Elegant, fierce, dangerous and complex, they are incredible animals. I have always wanted to visit the Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida. Unfortunately, I live across the country and have not had the chance. Which is why I was thrilled to find this app.

Great Dane iPhone Application Review

Do you have a Great Dane trailer? I do, and have for a couple of years. I bought mine used, and so there was some work that had to be done as I drove it across the country. The problem was that I only wanted to go with authorized dealers for parts, repairs and services. It is really difficult to do that while on the road.

It wasn't until I was a couple of states into my trip that I discovered this app.

How To Find Free WiFi When Traveling Abroad

When traveling out of the country you have so much to consider. Flight plans, itinerary, lodging, budgets, attractions...it can get pretty complicated. The longer the trip, the more there is to juggle.

When I went on a trip recently to another country, I had to brush up on some basic language skills from the region. But it became apparent that this was not going to be enough to get me through the almost month I was going to be abroad, and that I was going to need a little extra help. After all, I wasn't always going to be buying a coffee or asking where the bathroom was.

Innovative Travel Apps - Discoverful & Sightsmap

The Earth has been explored and charted, leaving us with virtually nothing to discover. When we travel, we usually visit locations which have already been visited thousands of times. While preparing for the trip, we use travel apps with ratings and recommendations of sights and hotels. In other words: everything is served to us, and it takes away all the fun of travelling.

Luckily, the developers of Discoverful and Sightsmap – two original and innovative travel apps – decided to create something different. Knowing that people prefer visual content to reading not-always-literate essays, they presented a new approach to choosing your next destination. Both apps rely on photography and bring back the feeling of truly discovering something new, and still manage to be as useful as their competitors.
