Travel smarter this year! Travel mobile!

There’s a well known saying that you don’t have to work harder, but rather work smarter. Here at Hummba, we believe that the same can be said when it comes to travelling.

Travel nowadays seems to be characterised by long queues at airports, bulky guide books, lost or damaged luggage and general annoyances that tend to mimic the reasons we took time off in the first place. Luckily, modern technology has come to the rescue and seems to be addressing at least a few of these problems.

Booking a flight or double checking your hotel reservations can now be done in a fraction of the time it used to online. Adding to that, there are numerous Android and iPhone applications that can help you plan your holiday and also get the most from your experience.

There are accommodation apps, restaurant apps, and weather apps in all shapes and sizes. But while it’s all well and good to organise the logistics before you set off, many people still rely on travel guide books to figure out what to do once they have arrived. These guide books are often bulky, easily damaged and more of a burden to carry around than they are worth. There’s also nothing more that screams “tourist” than someone pulling out a guide book in the middle of a busy sidewalk.

The Hummba application, which is available on both Android and iPhone, lets you download mobile audio guides directly onto your smartphone. These audio guides will give you information about things to do and places to see as you move around. The app is location aware and uses GPS technology to provide you with information about places of interest nearby. This means that going mobile really is the smarter way to travel.

Hummba has detailed guides to hundreds of popular tourist destinations all over the world. Discover the best museums in Paris, or explore the New York nightlife with a guide to the best bars and clubs.
