Nora Dunn, a seasoned digital nomad, warns travelers about the pitfalls of currency exchanges. Over her years of travel, she has encountered several costly mistakes in this area.
Dunn’s Advice on Currency Exchange:
- Steer clear of exchanging money at airports. These locations often have poor exchange rates, leading to unnecessary losses.
- When withdrawing cash from an ATM abroad, always choose the local currency option. It usually offers a better rate than opting for your home currency.
