Greetings from Taipei, Taiwan! Or should I say, "Nǐ hǎo!"
I had a long, yet comfortable flight and I'm very excited to explore my home for the next month.

In preparation for my business trip I asked my friends and colleagues to share with me their top travel apps. Check them out before your next excursion!

Gogobot....
It is certainly not your average city guide. 

In addition to highlighting popular destination in a particular city,Gogobot allows you to uncover sites and experiences unique to your individual personality! 

“Gogobot tribes,” as they are called, are groups of people with shared interests and travel styles. Whether you prefer to go backpacking and experience the great outdoors or relaxing in luxury at the top restaurants in the city, Gogogbot Tribes highlight the places you’ll love best. 

Gogobot also connects you with your friends and offers up travel advice and links to real-time maps, pictures, pricing and descriptions. Available on: Android, iOS

Postagram...
While traveling, nothing says, “thinking-of-you” like a post card for your family and friends. At the intersection of technology and tradition is  Postagram, a mobile app that turns your photos into postcards you can mail from your phone!  Available on: Android, iOS

Google Translate 
In Taipei, most people speak Mandarin Chinese so having a pocket-size interpretation tool like Google Translate is a necessity. The app rapidly translates entire paragraphs of spoken word. Say a phrase in English and Google Translate will help you communicate when you are on the go. Available on: Android, iOS

WayGo
Clearly I can't read Chinese, so on my first day in Taipei  I struggled to figure out which button does what on the various remote controls in my hotel room. 

Thankfully a colleague introduced me to WayGo, a visual translation too 

From menus at restaurants to appliances WayGo can make life a heck of a lot easier when travelling abroad. 


Wi-Fi Finder
 Wi-Fi Finder is a must-have app, reviewers at CNET concluded. 

Quickly and easily find both free and paid Wi-Fi when you travel with the JiWire Wi-Fi Finder app.
