Welcome back to the Realistic Backpackers Podcast, where Shireen has just booked her first ever group trip to India in March with @craicontravels! This week’s topics are budgeting and safety while travelling, two hugely important ones!  Kicking off with budgeting, covering everything from how to plan your budget, tracking spending and managing money while travelling. Shireen has finally accepted that she is indeed, extremely type A and what that means.  Safety is a topic the girl’s really wanted to cover, and is it the most important thing while travelling. Both give their top tips such as always having access to your phone and being aware when going out at night.  As always, wrapping up with some chaos, the girls discuss the different things that were shouted at them as they walked down the street on a recent trip to Egypt. As always, if you have any questions on this week’s topics, send a message on any of the below socials!  Helpful Links: Connect on Instagram:  Shireen: ⁠@shireenaroundtheworld_⁠ ;   For all things Digital Nomad: @aroundtheworldvirtual Abi: ⁠@abi_chapman⁠  Connect on TikTok: ⁠@therealisticbackpackers
