An app to track expenses, special tip for nomads + more

Hey,

It’s Shagufta here. Welcome to the 5th edition of rebranded alivewithad.

In this newsletter, we help you manage your finances while you travel the world as a digital nomad. 

This is your place to get bite-sized info about the nomad life. Here you go:

Quick tip

Always scan your passport, visa, and important documents.

Store digital copies in a secure cloud folder (like Google Drive or Dropbox).

If your physical documents get lost or stolen, you'll be safe.

Money to-do

Review your last 7 days of expenses.

Even a 5-minute scan of your transaction history can help you catch sneaky subscriptions or notice overspending trends early.

App to check out

Trail Wallet: Expense tracking made for travellers.

Created by long-term nomads, it works offline, supports multiple currencies, and helps you stay on budget with zero fluff.

iOS only for now, Android users can try TravelSpend for similar features.

alivewithad special tip for nomads

Travel slowly.

Nomads often feel pressure to check off countries like a to-do list, but staying in one place longer builds deeper connections and saves cash (monthly Airbnb discounts are real).

Bonus: You’re less likely to burn out.

📌 TL;DR

• Save digital copies of your travel docs in the cloud

• Do a weekly expense check to spot patterns or leaks

• Try Trail Wallet to manage your travel budget

• Slow travel > fast travel (for your wallet and your well-being)

Thanks for reading. : )

I will see you next week.

Your well-wisher,

Shagufta
