Boredom Busters: Three Mobile Sites All Travellers Must Visit

Arriving at an exotic location is great, but moving from point A to point B isn’t always as fun. Travelling, unsurprisingly, involves a lot of travelling (!) and sometimes you need a way to combat the boredom.

Not all trips involve endless streams of stunning scenery, so during these journeys you’re going to need some entertainment and there are few better ways to keep yourself amused than to use your mobile phone. Imbued with the power to bring any number of worlds to your fingertips, Smartphones are a must for the modern traveller and so are the apps they house.

With thousands of options to choose from, it can be difficult to know which apps and mobile sites are useful for travellers, which is why we’ve picked out three options that should give you more than enough ways to pass the time.

Stay Social

Just because you’re away from home it doesn’t mean you can’t stay connected to your friends and family. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are all fantastic in mobile form and they’ll keep you amused and connected in equal measure. Indeed, through these networks you’ll be able to keep up-to-date with the latest gossip, share pictures and stories with your friends and even hold conversations during long journeys.

Gamble on the Go

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology it’s now possible to make money via your phone and feel like James Bond at the same time. Mobile casino sites offer a great way to test your nerve, use your powers of logic and, potentially, make a lot of money. When you’re travelling, one of the best options you can choose is mobile pokies. Offering high octane action, endless hours of entertainment and an easy gateway into the world of casino games, mobile slots are a great option for the weary traveller.

Drop a Beat

Whether you choose the free or paid for app, Spotify is the best way to stream virtually any song you can think of directly through your mobile phone. Unlike downloading music there are no limits to the amount of songs you can access via the app and that means you can switch your songs as your mood changes throughout the trip. For anyone who makes a lot of long journeys, an app that gives you access to thousands of songs is a must and there are few that can match the power of Spotify.
