Have you ever seen the perfect snap of a place and wondered where the picture was taken? We do, and we love visiting the places we see in photos. Photographing the landscapes at a place one visits is basically an intrinsic part of a journey.
We love capturing all the beautiful moments of our trips wherever we go and Explorest is the perfect app to use for that goal!
Where to find the most scenic places?
In order not to miss any landscapes on our trips, we wanted a solution to the many questions that arise while traveling. The most common ones being:
- Where to find scenic locations?
- How, and when, to go there?
- And how to get the most of our visit there?
Explorest had the answers. Let us tell you about it.
Don´t forget one of the most essentials things for your next trip: the right travel insurance! Consider World Nomads or Safety Wings!
What is Explorest?
So, in our little quest to find answers to those, we came across Explorest. It’s an app to discover amazing places nearby or wherever on the map. Coincidentally, that’s what we do for a living! So we dug into it.
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
― Marcel Proust.
It has a collection of inspiring snaps from professional photographers along with helpful info about the places, like when is the best season to visit them, GPS-coordination to the exact spot, deep insights by expert travelers to help you plan the trip, and many more things. We absolutely adore the clean UI and real-time weather conditions feature.
How does it work?
A group of travel photographers, the founder also among them, take pictures of landscapes they visit. The app is a collection of all the places they discover. And we can tell you each of those places is worth a visit.
The features are great and can make the trip worth every second of it. The field trips and photo specs to capture marvelous photos definitely top the list. Unfortunately, the collection of places is still small. Currently, it has places only from a limited number of countries and might not work for you. It will show you places from hundreds of miles away (and unless you’re Superman, you can’t take a trip there and be back in an hour). We hope the contributors will keep on adding more places.
Fortunately, we were in luck, and it worked for us. We explored some really great places nearby. Make sure to try it and let us know about your experience.
You can download the app for iPhone here and the app for Android here. Their Instagram page is worth following as well!
Bon voyage!
