Whats the best way to carry money while Im overseas?
That depends on where you’ll be and for how long, so be sure to do some advance planning. It’s a good idea to order some local currency from your bank before you leave, to last the first couple of days. After that, you may be able to use your debit card at a bank or ATM machine to access funds in your account. You will be charged that day’s exchange rate. If you’ll be visiting remote areas that may not have an ATM, bring travelers’ cheques — they’re safer than cash, but can be exchanged in many places.
