Exchanging currency at airports is common, yet rarely cost-effective. Experienced traveler Nora Dunn advises against it. She shares insights from her own experiences as a digital nomad.
One frequent error is exchanging currency at airport kiosks. These locations often offer poor rates and high fees.
When using ATMs abroad, always select to be charged in the local currency. This approach typically results in better rates and saves money.
Nora Dunn, known for her travel advice on ‘The Professional Hobo’ website and YouTube channel, acknowledges learning these lessons the hard way. By minimizing unnecessary exchange fees, travelers can maximize their funds for other adventures.
