Useful tips for international travel in the digital age

The Geek’s Guide to International Travel has some useful train-related tips, plus information on traveling with gadgets.

On my recent vacation to Europe, I traveled without folded maps, paper guidebooks and journals, or physical backup copies of my passport, rail pass and other critical documents.


Instead, I relied only on my smartphone – even though it was disconnected from cellular voice and data service for the full ten days.

Think of it as the international tourist equivalent of going commando.

Yet it worked insanely well. So much so, that I doubt I’d vacation in Europe again any other way.
