A local friend in your pocket

As a travel writer, conducting research on a destination while traveling is a sure way
to miss out on some great opportunities. Inevitably, however, without a local connection the travel writer will come to a point when she wants to explore more than she has researched.

Field Trip, a GoogleApp, might just be the traveler’s solution to this dilemma. As Google describes it,

“Field Trip is like having a local friend with you as you make your way through the city.”

Here’s a bit offered by Field Trip:

“Field Trip is your guide to the cool, hidden, and unique things in the world around you. Field Trip runs in the background on your phone. When you get close to something interesting, it pops up a card with details about the location. No click is required. If you have a headset or bluetooth connected, it can even read the info to you.

Field Trip can help you learn about everything from local history to the latest and best places to shop, eat, and have fun. You select the local feeds you like and the information pops up on your phone automatically, as you walk next to those places.”

Didn’t make any friends like Aaron Marshburn? No problem let Field Trip be you best
friend and guide when traveling.
