I’ve visited every country in the world by 2025 – here’s the clever phone hack to make holidays so much easier
A TRAVELLER who visited every country in the world by 2025 has revealed a clever phone hack to make holidays to much easier.
Basanth Sadasivant became one of the youngest people to visit every country by the age of 25.
Basanth has now revealed how there is one particular app on his phone that made travelling much easier.
He told Forbes that an offline translation tool on your phone was an "absolute godsend."
He said: "Whether it’s asking for directions in an unfamiliar city, placing an order at a restaurant or simply making a new friend at the local pub, transcending the language barrier is a useful first step to helping one make the most of their vacation.
"In addition, it can also save you a great deal of hassle and inconvenience when dealing with local authorities.”
Basanth revealed that her favourite discovery was the Blue City of Chefchaouen in Morocco. And he singled out the exotic city for its beauty, and praised the local cuisine.
He added: "Chefchaouen, in my opinion, also had the best tagine (local stew consisting of braised meat and spices). I highly recommend a stopover in Chefchaouen for any prospective visitors to the region.”
For budget conscious travellers Basanth recommended Cairo in Egypt.
He said: "A full-course Arabic-style dinner would typically cost you no more than $5 per person and a taxi ride from the center of town to the airport (approximately one hour) would set you back no more than $10.
"I was also able to participate in the many activities available within the vicinity of the Pyramids such as camel riding and quad biking for very negligible prices.
"Make sure you have your haggling boots on though as the local vendors may attempt to quote prices higher than the typical market value for these activities.”
