Arrive knowing. Explore confidently.
Country Survival Kit is a curated travel
companion for people who plan before they
travel — and a toolkit for the trip itself.
Language, culture, currency, local apps,
entry requirements, and everything else
you'll need — for every country we cover,
offline.
Travel apps assume you'll figure it out on
arrival. CSK is built for the other kind of
traveller — the one who wants to know what
they're walking into, and wants the right
tools once they're there.
Every country goes through the same
editorial process. Researched, verified,
edited before it ships. When you land in
Athens, the app already knows which taxi
apps work there and what time it's
reasonable to call home.
THE TOOLS YOU'LL USE DAILY
• Home-screen widget with live currency
conversion and the time in both places
— the one screen you'll actually keep
open
• Full currency converter — works offline,
caches the rates you use, handles the
maths so you don't
• Recommended apps — the local apps that
actually matter (Grab, Kakao T, Alipay),
not the tourist-facing ones the internet
promised. Direct links to install.
• Emergency numbers — tap to call.
Embassies with 24/7 lines. Health
information for the specific country.
• Dual-country clock — not just what time
it is at home, but whether it's a
reasonable hour to call
KNOW BEFORE YOU LAND
Every country highlights the entry
requirements — visa position, arrival
cards, travel authorisations, passport
validity. Each claim is sourced to the
government that issues it and dated, so
you can trust it's current.
Where a country needs an online form —
Korea's e-Arrival Card, Thailand's TDAC,
Malaysia's MDAC — CSK links the real
government portal. Search results for
these are full of lookalike sites charging
$50 for a free or $7 official application;
the app hands you only the genuine one.
SIX SECTIONS. THE SAME SIX, EVERY COUNTRY.
Consistency is the point.
• Language — Essential phrases with native
script, phonetic pronunciation and audio
playback. The alphabet, numbers to 1000,
and signs you'll actually need to read.
• Heritage — Country facts, history from
ancient to modern, and the customs and
etiquette that separate a guest from a
tourist.
• Explore — Where to visit with insider
tips rather than brochure copy. Getting
around by metro, train, bus, ferry,
taxi, car and plane. An interactive map
that taps straight through to Apple
Maps.
• Food & Drink — The dishes worth ordering
with native names, pronunciation and
audio. Vegetarian and vegan indicators.
A menu decoder. Drinks guide with
cultural context.
• Trip Essentials — Month-by-month weather
and packing. Money and budgeting.
Emergency and health information. eSIM
and connectivity. An honest verdict on
which local apps are worth installing.
• Quick Reference — Emergency numbers,
tipping etiquette by context, embassies
and consulates, the dual-country clock.
HONEST ABOUT WHO IT'S NOT FOR
Every country carries an "Is it for you?"
take — what kind of trip it is, who it
suits, and the part nobody else writes:
who it won't suit.
Free travel sites are paid to sell every
destination to everyone. We aren't, so we
can tell you when to skip a place, or when
to go in a different month.
40 COUNTRIES, GROWING
Six regions are live today across Europe,
Southeast Asia, East Asia, the Americas,
the Middle East & Africa, and South Asia.
Every entry is researched, verified, and
edited before it ships — no thin
countries, no filler. New countries added
based on where travellers are actually
going.
FREE TIER
Hungary and Malaysia are free forever. No
trial timers, no locked features — full
content on both.
The rest of the app unlocks with a single
annual subscription (Annual — All
Countries at $19.99/year) or a one-time
purchase (One-time — All Countries at
$59.99) that also includes every country
added after.
Family Sharing is enabled on both.
