Daily Dose of Lost

I have a confession to make. I'm a bit of an exercise junkie.

Exercising is something that always puts me in a good mood no matter what. So if you happen to catch me in a VERY rare moment of cranky, you know why!

I like to get in some kind of exercise daily and lately I haven't been getting my daily dose due to not feeling my best. The thing that has kept is sane the past weeks are long walks. Which are actually a great way to get to know a new city as well!

Usually, my walks follow the pattern of; 'Oh look, cool building! Ohhh what a nice park, I'll take a look! Uuuh what a cute street, I'll walk down here!' And ending up in; 'Ummmm... Where am I and how did I get here...?'

Now, not having a German number yet means no Internet. So how do I find my way home, keeping in mind my terrible sense of direction? (You can spin me around twice and I will have no idea where I am...)

The answer is THE Best. App. Ever. MAPS.ME.

Perfect for people like me while travelling! The app was recommended to me by a friend and it has been a lifesaver, seriously. You can download the maps you need of specific cities when you are online and then use them when offline. And they are incredibly detailed, showing shops, restaurants, museums,... the more you zoom in.

Now, don't get me wrong, I think wandering the streets and getting lost is the best way to discover a new city BUT it's also nice to find your way home at some point!

I hope this helps any fellow travellers with not-so-good (awful) sense of direction!
