Paper maps. Lack of mobile service (and avoidance of roaming charges) make paper maps invaluable. But then I often travel on the road less visited, so ...

A4 Used to be the road atlas. Now it's written directions off Google Maps and sometimes Waze (usually for when I'm close to the destination). #culturetrav

That's a recipe for disaster for directionally challenged me. Even with a map, I've been known to end up on the totally opposite side of a new city. Google Maps and the little blue dot was made for me! #CultureTrav https://t.co/4djUPnt8A7
