A lot of currency exchange companies take a massive cut when converting money - especially the big ones, like the Chase currency exchange (which we were disappointed by ourselves when we tried to convert USD to AUD).
Whether you want to order currency online, send money digitally, or do an in-person currency conversion with cash, there are hacks you can use to exchange foreign currency for free (or very close to it!).
We've successfully used all 4 of the strategies in this video on our own international trips - from buying a car in Australian Dollars to getting gas during an internet outage in Canada.
In this video, we review a currency exchange app called Wise, show you how to check currency exchange rates with the Google Currency Converter app, and discuss the potential pitfalls of making an ATM withdrawal in a foreign currency or using a credit card internationally.
