Budget control is always crucial on a trip, especially when you are travelling for a long period of time in a budget way. For this reason we decided to set a daily budget for our trip and make a register of every expense since the very beginning. As it was said in our article “How to put our world in a bag”, we found a very useful app (Trail Wallet), which has been helping considerably in this daily budget control. Taking the assumption that we will be travelling for a whole
