Apps you need

International Driving License - If you’re planning to drive on your trip, I suggest getting an IDL. Many countries require it before you are allowed to drive. It’s a little pamphlet that translates your drivers license to 25 languages. (if you want to drive the go karts in Tokyo you need this)
Must Bring Items (for any trip)
Universal Adapter Plug : Sometimes we forget other countries have different plugs.
Portable Phone Charger : Always have AT LEAST two fully charged chargers during a day.
