My motto in life is “trust no one” which allows me to keep an eye and question things all the time. Thanks for this great video.

Good advice.
Such great advice!! One other one... Use a REPUTABLE travel advisor. Make sure you have a one on one conversation with your agent and ask questions like, "Are you IATA or CLIA certified?". If you do, they will usually arrange the transfers, send you a link to the official government site for those tourist cards. Been doing this for 20 years and I do the credit card and ATM thing. Exchange rates are usually pretty similar.
Trust, but verify. I have lived by this motto my entire life. Never assume things are what they seem. I usually utilize ATM machines as well, but I prefer them to be indoors and out of general public view. Many times, I have seen people sit at a cafe watching others looking for the unsuspecting victim. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

I love that saying.
Sometimes employees at the "information kiosk" are in cahoots with the scam taxi drivers...use your own intuition.
Love, love,love yours videos. Have a great trip to Japan 💜☮️
Just a heads up, for at least Toronto (but possibly for North America) due to possible fraud we don't do payments via the phone as we need to verify the card holder before many charges. A cc auth form is possible but those are checked also before it's accepted (front desk agent)
I recently booked accommodation through Bookings and it was very clear that payment was due about 5 days prior to my arrival. I then received communication through Bookings from the 'hotel' saying they needed a deposit paid and directing me to a 3rd party as " the payment couldn't be made through Bookings" I didnt pay then got "a gentle reminder". I cancelled the booking which is unfair to the hotel but did give me the opportunity to tell Bookings why I had cancelled it.
Great Video, you can never be too careful 😀
Great info!!! Thanks.
Twice bitten. When travelling to Brisbane twice last year I was directed to what I thought was the hotel website. Nup…the mistakes they made were too hard to fix. Next time will be very careful. Important reminders. 👏🇦🇺
OH, money I'm nervous about all this! My own memory was way back in 1973 at a refreshment stand just outside Venice....guy tried to gyp me and I caught him screwing with the lira! He sheepishly gave me the right change!
