Plan your semester abroad, and know you can afford it.

What it does

Trips, places, a calendar and a budget, in one app.

• Plan your weekends

  Keep a list of the places you want to see. Planning one fills in your next free weekend and an estimate of what it costs, with the ways to get there side by side and links to today's prices on Skyscanner, Omio, Hostelworld and Booking.com.

• Find a trip

  Not sure where to go? Say what you want (food, culture, outdoors, festivals) and a price. Abroadwise matches your free weekends to places that fit, and says why each one matched.

• 50+ places, with real information

  Guides to 50+ places across Europe and Morocco: typical weather by month, festivals and events, public holidays, entry rules, and an estimate of what a weekend there costs from your city. Estimates are labelled as estimates.

• The semester on a calendar

  Month by month: your trips, public holidays where you are studying, the first and last day of term, and what any one day holds.

• A budget that keeps up

  Tell it how much you have and when the semester ends. It sets aside your regular bills, a reserve (money kept back for emergencies) and your trips, then shows what is safe to spend today. Log expenses in any currency; they are converted with daily reference rates (the official rate published each day, close to but not exactly what your bank charges).

• Your data stays on your phone

  Abroadwise works without an account. No ads, no third-party trackers. Your plans, budget and spending are stored on your iPhone, not on our servers. The app sends anonymous usage counts you can switch off. You can lock the app with Face ID. Read the privacy policy.

In the app

Calm, clear, one idea per screen.

Who it is for

Built for two kinds of traveller.

• Your first big trip

  Never kept a budget or booked a train in another country? You answer a few questions, and Abroadwise builds a plan you can change. After that there is one number to look at each day, and plain notes on each place: tipping, plugs, getting around, emergency numbers.

• You have done this before

  Clear numbers and nothing in your way. See how each figure is worked out, set weekly limits by category, and export your spending as a CSV file.

Pricing

Free. One optional extra, for a semester or a year.
