How to plan your budget stress-free & cleverly

Enjoy your vacation, don't repair your bank account afterward.

Traveling means freedom and relaxation—but it also means spending money. If you plan your budget wisely beforehand, you won't have any nasty surprises and can truly enjoy your vacation. With the right tools and a few smart tricks, you'll have full control over your finances even when you're on the go.

1. Set a Total Budget and Stick to It

First, ask yourself:

• How much do I want to spend in total on this trip, including everything?

Divide the amount into these categories:

• Travel & Accommodation
• Food & Drinks
• Leisure & Activities
• Emergency buffer (e.g., 10%)

Bonus Tip: Don't plan down to the last euro. Being flexible usually costs a few extra percent.

2. Use a Daily Travel Budget for Full Control

Instead of guessing what you spend per day:

• Set a fixed daily budget.
• What you save one day, you can use the next—or save for later.

3. Travel Smarter With a Card Instead of Cash

Cash is often impractical and unsafe. Our Mastercard offers you:

• Free payments worldwide
• Real-time conversion to euros
• Push notifications after every transaction
• Live exchange rate display

4. Keep Track

Our app shows you:

• Last transactions
• Current remaining budget
• Currency converter—for example, for prices in restaurants or souvenir shops

This way, you'll have a clear picture.

Traveling and financial responsibility aren't mutually exclusive—quite the opposite. Those who start with a plan travel more relaxed, spend more consciously, and get more out of the experience for longer.
