Take the time to buy foreign currency before you travel
You may not want to buy foreign currency before you travel because you are busy planning your trip and dealing with a million other things, but if you take the time to buy foreign currency before you leave, you can save yourself a lot of money and trouble. There are many services and products that you cannot buy on credit in several foreign countries, and you will need their domestic currency to make a purchase. If you don’t buy foreign currency before your trip, you may end up spending a substantial part of your travel budget on currency exchange, when you could have saved money and purchased currency before your trip.
