Currency Tips

Before travelling abroad, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to currency.

1. Choose the right currency prior to your departure. This is an obvious one, but yet I have heard about people who brought euro to England and Switzerland.

2. Buy the currency as close as possible before departure.

3. Always buy the destination’s currency for the first two to three days.

4. On spot: Only change to the need for at most two days.

This is good advice - especially about the right currency. Obvious? Yes, but often overlooked.

If you’re looking for ATM’s and currency converters when you’re on the move, I’ve listed them here:
