We asked you all to send in your questions about dealing with money while traveling, and you gave us some awesome questions. The most commonly asked question was about how to get money once you're in a country. Is it best to bring cash and use a money exchange, or can you use your debit card at ATMs around the world? What about foreign exchange fees? What even are these, and how do they work when I take out money or use my debit card or credit card in a different country? What credit and debit cards should you bring abroad with you and how do you keep them safe when you're traveling to a new city every couple of days? How do I exchange money abroad? Can I withdraw money while traveling? What's the best way to prevent theft abroad?

We broke up your questions into five money-related categories: credit and debit cards, ATMs and exchange fees, handling cash, saving money, and safety and money scams. We cover tons of information in this video, but here's a breakdown of the highlights:
Credit and Debit Cards for Traveling - What debit and credit cards do we travel with? Are we loyal to any travel rewards programs? What is our recommendation for travel credit and debit cards
ATMs and Exchange Fees: How do you use ATMs abroad and how do you get the lowest fees? How do you know where to get the best exchange rates? Do you use foreign exchange kiosks?
Handling Cash: How much money do we travel with? How much cash do we withdraw before a trip? Overall, how do we deal with cash while traveling?
Saving Money: What's the best advice for saving money on accommodation? Do we track our spending? How much does it cost to travel? How are we paying for our travels now?
Safety and Money Scams: Have our cards been compromised? Do we use hidden wallets or money belts? Where do we store extra cash and how much do we carry every day? What are the most common money scams we see around the world?

There's so much to talk about when it comes to dealing with money while traveling that we couldn't cover it all, but we did our best to share how we have made it work these past few years. If you have any more questions or have suggestions for a future video on a money-related topic, please drop it in the comments!

======================

Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on YouTube, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.
