Show Notes
With sterling plummeting on the foreign exchanges, it's more important than ever to manage your holiday money.
Choose a payment method with no foreign transaction fee. Otherwise you could lose 3 per cent on credit card purchases and even more on debit cards. If your bank doesn’t offer one, then choose a card from another provider – I have one I use purely for overseas travel.
And equally important – understand the local tipping culture, or you could either cause offence or spend more than you need.
