013 – Carrying and changing money while travelling

The Indie Travel Podcast speaks about changing currencies and carrying a variety of ways to pay. Our financial travel advice includes:

1. Have money in several different forms, with at least some cash in the local currency.
2. Don’t carry all your money in one place.
3. Know the rate of exchange and shop around for the best deal.
4. Sometimes it’s better to pay in a non-local currency, but most often it’s not.
