Travel money
Well, you've probably been skimping and saving for a while so it's time to blow it but try and get the most out of what you have.
We will give you advice on the best ways to take your money and even how much money to take. Also have a look at the travel safety section as this will help keep your money in your grubby sweaty hands and not someone else's.
What are the best ways to take money when travelling?
The safest way to carry your money is as travellers cheques but these are by no means the most convenient. Cash would be ideal but is easily stolen or lost (not be mention spent!) and cards can also cause problems if you are in the middle of nowhere.
The best way then is to carry a mixture of all. Out of the US$200 worth of ready money you would aim to take, choose half cash and half travellers cheques and keep them in your money belt. This way you are prepared for all eventualities and have the credit cards as back up.
