TECHNOLOGY:AS iPHONES, iPads and iPods continue to grow popularity, Go columnist Catherine Mack has published her latest eco discoveries in new travel app, Ireland Green Travel.
The app brings together over 120 eco-friendly places to stay throughout Ireland, as well as how to reach all of them using public transport, leading green activity providers, details on farmers’ markets, cycling routes, bike hire, local guides and many more tips from her years of travel around Ireland.
Mack says: “I was a bit resistant to the idea of a travel app at first, as I am a battered guidebook sort of a traveller until now. However the joys of being able to update it whenever I want, and knowing that people who have bought it will get those updates straight away, was a revelation. Also, the joy of linking to train timetables, Google Maps, putting up as many photos as I want, walking trails, all in one tiny screen, has made me wake up to greener travel technology.”
