SD,

It depends on the country really. Generally speaking, I do find it cheaper to withdraw cash when aborad at ATMs. That being said, if I’m at home and I see the exchange rate is 2.5% or less at the bank or a currency exhcange office, I’ll just change some money there.

Travel is one of the pkaces I splurge! One more suggested is to start small. Start by planning a long weekend. If you haven’t traveled before start by planning a three or four day vacation rather than two weeks
