We are so dependent on technology for everything, including traveling. But there is often no way around it. What happens when technology fails us in our most crucial moments? In this episode, we tackle the dependency on travel tech and how to navigate the chaos when it breaks down, as recently experienced with the Microsoft incident that grounded flights. We'll share invaluable insights on the importance of retaining traditional travel skills like map reading and introduce you to top-notch travel apps you must have. From Going (formerly Scott's Cheap Flights) to Google Flights and Hopper, you'll discover strategies to snag the best flight deals, including tech-savvy tips like clearing your cache and switching to incognito mode. And if you're hunting for the perfect place to stay, find out why Booking.com is our top choice for a wide range of accommodations, from luxury hotels to cozy private listings.Managing travel expenses can be tricky, but with the right tools, it becomes a breeze.
