Travel expense tracker
A new country means a new spend currency. The habit stays: tell Galka in Telegram where the money went.
Countries change. The ledger stays the same.

Log the spend
New country, same sentence to Galka in Telegram. Countries change. The ledger stays.

Currency follows the trip
A country switch changes the default spend currency. The nest currency does not have to match the local sign.

Same journal
You do not install a holiday app. One habit: tell Galka.
Spends in local currency
Write a baht taxi as baht. Galka does not make you convert in your head to “home money”: the purchase currency stays on the line.
Home accounting currency
The nest watches the total in the accounting currency. Baht in Bangkok and lari in Tbilisi live in the journal as they are; the summary is in the currency you chose for the nest.
Changing country
On the route you can tell Galka you are already in another country. Default spend currency follows the country. The journal is not wiped.
Several countries in one trip
Bangkok, Tbilisi, Madrid — different signs. One chat and the same journal. A route of currencies, not a map.
Friends’ spends are not a family budget
Family and a trip with friends are not the same thing. Family chat is a shared nest: home accounts and balances. Trip chat is a tab: who paid for whom. A running split in Telegram, not a bank and not magic bill-splitting from a photo.
Not a travel app
You do not install a holiday tracker, migrate purchases or learn a new screen. Telegram is already open. No promise of an offline map, hotel bookings or a smart split from a receipt photo.
Network
The message goes through Telegram. Without a network the bot never gets the line. There is no offline journal on the phone.
Fixing the currency
Before confirm, type the line with the right currency. After a save, cancel is a reversal and a fix is a correction. Junk code like xyz goes to RUB without asking — a parsing limitation.
Straight answers
Another app on the trip?
No. Telegram, and naming the currency with the amount.
Friends on the road?
A trip tab in the chat: who paid for whom. Not a bank and not magic bill-splitting.
Travel vs living abroad?
A trip changes spend currency. The journal and nest stay.
Is this a family budget?
Not if the chat is in friends mode. Family nest and trip tab are different ledgers. Do not mix them.
What if there is no network?
Voice and text go through Telegram. Without a network the message never reaches the bot.
