The stereotypical image of a tourist shows them standing with backpacks, a hat, big camera, and a map. 

But times have changed and Google Maps has become the go-to when it comes to finding your way around. 

We love the ease and convenience that comes with using one device for several things. Our phone not only helps us find our way around, but also helps us book a taxi, get accommodation, and book flights. 

We are always open to hearing good tricks; hacks and the like. 

This time it was from a tour operator who shared a handy tip when it comes to travelling abroad. 

In fact, we think it will help either way, whether you are travelling abroad or even locally.
