    Suntimes (foss) for sunrise/sunset. Shows when is golden hour, which is useful for photography.

    Windy for weather, i bought premium which costs 1€/month but provides hourly updates on weather.

    OsmAnd+ (free) for offline maps. Kind of steep learning curve, but is the most feature rich app I used. You can turn on to show publicly available hiking/biking routes from national parks, plan a route, etc. I used it for hikes and was able to locate water filling stations, cafes, even when internet was not available. Really helpful to plan your walks without needing an account.

    Revolut for banking, best currency exchange rates and affordable eSIM in same app. I use it on first day on arrival before I get local sim if i need one, you get 100 mb for free, so its enough to text your booking on first day. Bring separate bank card in case ATM swallows your main card so youre not left stranded with no means to pay.



  • There’s common misconseption that higher acid in your stomach causes acid reflux, however it is actually the oposite. There’s sphincter in your esophagus which contracts when there’s enough acidity and opens when there’s lack of. So when you are having bad reflux, try increasing your stomach acid by either chewing gum, eating sour or eating something bitter. Avoid drinking large amount of water after heavy meals, since you are diluting acid. Also less smoking and drinking helps (quitting smoking really helped for me. Those over the counter tablets containing carbonate salts actually make it even worse, since they neutralize stomach acid, when you want to increase it. Protein pump inhibitors, such as ranitidine block production of stomach acid completely, however it really messes up with your protein intake. Common pain killers, such as ibuprofen, aspirin mess with yiur stomach too
