Helpful tip #7

Rather spend your money and enjoy your trip, than end up leaving with lots left over. Travelling can be expensive and when you start converting every time you buy something you may start to become rather frugal with your money. This is usually when your currency is weaker than wherever it is you are visiting.

When I first arrived in London I was so afraid to spend my money that I hardly bought anything. While I have never regretted this as I used the money later in my trip I also realised that I had set aside a certain amount of money to spend on my trip and thus I should spend it. Not end up at the airport with all my money and nothing to show of my travels or worse with wishes that I had gone on that tour or gone into that museum which I really would have liked to see but didn’t because it “cost too much”.

This does not mean you should spend for the sake of spending, but does mean you should allow yourself to enjoy what you can. Just budget carefully.

Happy spending.
