Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a spreadsheet or budgeting app to use this? No. The system works with a pen and paper, a notes app, or whatever you already use. No templates to maintain or formulas to learn.

Does this cover multi-country trips or just single destinations? Both. The budgeting framework scales to any trip length or number of stops.

What if I'm travelling somewhere with an unfamiliar currency? The guide includes a quick currency conversion method so you always know what you're actually spending.

Is this only for backpackers or budget travellers? No. Whether you spend £30 a day or £300, the system works the same. It's about accuracy, not cheapness.

What if my trip plans change after I've set a budget? Covered. The guide includes a rebalancing method so you can adjust without starting from scratch.
