Before You Go

Planning a trip abroad? Here's my number one tip: use a currency converter before you leave. Know exactly how much your money is worth in the local currency. No surprises at the exchange booth!

During Your Trip

I always keep a currency converter bookmarked on my phone. It's so helpful when you're comparing prices, figuring out tips, or just trying to understand if something is actually a good deal.

Pro tip: look for converters that update with live exchange rates. Some static ones haven't been updated in forever, which is not helpful when rates are changing daily.
