E Getting into a foreign place can be eye-opening and revitalizing, but when it comes to

finding quality and luxury in travel, it all routes to the path of $$$ - Money. Wherever
you are and wish to go, Travel money is what gets you from one place to another

place, gets you the food on your plate, the room view you want and the experiences
and activities you want to indulge. Dealing with foreign currency can get complicated:
money is not worth the same amount in every country and because your home currency

is often not accepted, currency exchange is unavoidable. With the right planning and
research, your Travel and Vacation can help you break down the rules - so you do not

get hit paying unnecessary fees.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES

Exchange rates vary widely across countries and
fluctuate constantly according to how well the host
country economy is doing. The best way to check up on

the most recent currency exchange rates. Oftentimes,
travelers use this knowledge to their advantage by
vacationing where their dollar is currently worth most

and avoiding those destinations where their dollar is
worth the least. Hotel and airport counters, in contrast,
typically offer poorer rates and high commission fees

for the service, while out-of-network ATM's can charge
you up to 3 - 5 % for withdrawing cash. To avoid this,

use a credit card that waives all transaction fees, such
as Travel Forex Card.
