Travelling : Money & Foreign Exchanges : TiPs
One of the most agonised over part of any trip is how much money to take and how to take it: Louise Southerden outlines some do’s and don’ts.
Whether you’re off around the world or just around the corner, whether you’re cruising on the QM2 or backpacking on a budget, there’s one item every traveller needs to pack: spending money. The problem is, sometimes doubts and worries – about how much money to take, how to take it and what to do if it’s lost or stolen – go along for the ride.
So it pays to know the secret to successful travel: spread the load. That is, take your travel money in different forms: cash (for daily expenses), travellers cheques or pre-paid travel cards (for the bulk of your funds) and cards (for unexpected or larger expenditures).
And remember the travellers’ adage: spending money – don’t leave home without it!
