Hey All,
I haven't travelled since 2014 to South America and this time i intend on staying 3+ months. So the usual month worth of cash won't cut it. Usually take hoards of cash with me to save on the ridiculous travel card fee. Here in OZ it can run up as high as 6% all in. That includes cross currency transactions i.e USD to Peso, loading fee and ATM fee.
But seeing I am planning a 3+ month Sur America, taking large sums of cash isn't ideal. wondering what's everyone doing especially those from Australia for cash ? Just standard ATM cards or those travel cards or just cash...
Thoughts would be appreciated.
Merci
