Technology plays a part in our daily lives, and especially while you’re traveling. From booking flights and accommodation, to checking the weather, to using a calculator and converting currency.
Now, apps on the market can help travelers in so many other ways. Want to find the perfect female travel partner? Need to find a bathroom in a foreign city ASAP? It’s all covered.
I’ve compiled my favorite apps for female travel that you should try on your next trip!
-
Tourlina (Free on iOS)
Tourlina is a womens-only app that connects fellow travelers wherever they are around the globe. Simply enter your trip and discover a travel companion with mutual interests and trip plans. You can start to chat, plan your trip together and voila! You’re on the road with a new friend, possibly one you’ll have made for life.
It’s not a dating app–the emphasis is on friendship. It can be hard to find a travel partner that has the means, the free time, the interests and the destination in sync with your own. Tourlina cuts straight through by connecting you with like-minded travelers, and they screen each and every new user so that your safety comes first.
It’s also designed to address the discomfort many women have traveling alone. Traveling with a partner can put your mind at ease in ways that traveling solo sometimes doesn’t quite cut. Sometimes you just want to relax with a partner or a group.
As rewarding as traveling alone can be, one of the unquestionable delights in travel is meeting new people from all over the world. They can connect you with experiences or introduce you to new ideas and opinions that you’d normally not.
Are you an adventurous type who likes to scale mountains? Or do you prefer an afternoon exploring archaeological museums? Tourlina will put you in touch with someone who shares the same travel goals as you.

Sit or Squat (Free on iOS and Android)
Even when you’re on a romantic stroll through the charming streets of Paris, Nature still calls. There are few things worse than wandering around an unfamiliar city holding it in… So, save your bladder with Sit or Squat, a free app that lists 95,000 bathrooms worldwide!
Users rate their experiences with a Sit (thumbs up) or Squat (so-so) and can even upload their photos to give other travelers a hint as to bathroom quality. Map the locations with an interactive, location-based map. You can filter by cost, handicap accessible, rating and even a baby changing table.
-
PackPoint (Free on iOS and Android)
Pack Point is a female traveler’s dream come true. This packing-list generator uses your information to customize a packing checklist for your destination. Tell the app your gender, where you’re going, the time of year, and any activities you have planned, and it will create suggestions for clothing, essentials, and gear you should take along.
For those app aficionados out there, the best feature is that it can sync with TripIt to obtain personal info and your itinerary!
-
Safety Map Worldwide (Free on iOS)
Safety Map Worldwide features maps around the world that will recommend the safest routes, advise you on the best district to travel or stay in, and guide you away from high-crime areas.
Sometimes when your traveling, you don’t always know exactly the best place to stay in a new city- this will solve your problems. You can document your experiences in safe (hopefully not unsafe) areas to help other travelers navigate as well!
-
myPill (Free on iOS and Android)
Remember to take your birth control can be hard enough at home in your normal routine, so traveling across time zones can completely mess up your schedule. Plus its hard to remember the small things when there is a cobblestone street calling your name, right?
The myPill app contains a daily tracker, a snooze function, a planner to remind you to call your doctor or renew a prescription, and more! A great alternative is Clue – an app that tracks your menstrual cycle, and offers reminders before your next period.
