If you’re like me, you don’t really change your lifestyle when you change your location.

And part of that includes staying on top of the news — or at the very least, on top of the conversation.

So I travel with apps designed to keep me up to date or to connect me quickly with history.

Curiosity is an app that is full of interesting information and trivia.

Blinkist is a great appetizer for those of us with short attention spans who want to read popular nonfiction books — it distills those titles into summaries that can be read in about 15 minutes.

I particularly like Daily Art — a supercharged art history app that displays a single work each day and then explains its background.
