2-How

As full-time travelers, we take a lot of transportation, live in multiple apartments, eat out at restaurants, shop at markets, taste new snacks and enjoy exploring our beautiful planet. Since we explore much more than the average person, our impact on the environment is very much a concern for us. In the article, we share tips on how we reduce our impact on the environment that we apply while we travel but many tips you can easily apply at home.

Today we are going to talk about some of those nasty fees you occur while traveling when withdrawing foreign currency. We found a solution that has helped us save about 2.5% of our money withdrawn by ATM which would’ve been eaten up by an ATM “transaction” fee – that’s $25 for every $1000 withdrawn so it adds up! We’d much rather put that money towards a special dinner in Thailand than pay bank fees. With this solution we don’t have to worry about which ATM to use and how much cash to take out since all ATM fees will get credited back to our bank account at the end of the month. And best of all, this solution is entirely free for everyone in the US! If you’re not a US resident, we have an alternative solution for you too. Let’s dig into our ultimate ATM hack!

As both aspiring minimalists and slow travelers, we like to control our spending since we have limited space on what we can carry and are traveling quite extensively. We have developed a process to help us decide what to spend money on and how much money we feel comfortable spending.
