- One of my goals for the trip was to unplug and be less reliant on my iPhone.
- However, I have found that without these six apps - including Grab, Maps.Me, and Instagram - my trip would have been far worse.

One of my goals for traveling around Asia for two months was to stop being on my phone all the time.
Writing for an online publication, it's easy to be constantly plugged in. So, I wanted to take time to unplug during my trip to countries including South Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Still, it's indisputable that your phone is one of your best tools while traveling, for everything from directions to restaurant recommendations. So, even while cutting down on my overall phone use, I have found myself returning to a handful of apps again and again.
This isn't the most extensive list of travel apps (you can find something closer to that here!). But, if you're traveling to Asia, you should considering downloading these six apps before you start your trip.
