4. Concur – Travel, Receipts, Expenses
On a budget? No problem! This app will keep track of all your receipts during your trip, so you can stay within budget.
5. Airbnb
Okay, you’ve probably heard of this one, or have even used it! But I had to include it because it’s the hot thing right now and people have had great (and cheap) experiences. This app allows you to book a place to stay ranging from a house in Morocco, to a bedroom in Australia, to an entire flat in Los Angeles; and it’s usually cheaper than staying at a hotel.
