How can you avoid foreign banking, ATM, and transaction fees?

 

by @danielgenser |  | 52 comments

What’s the latest on how to avoid ATM/bank/foreign transaction fees? How do you keep track of money spent when you’re never quite sure of the exact exchange rate? I normally use YNAB to keep on top of my budget here at home, but I’m dreading keeping tabs on all the minute foreign transaction adjustments abroad…

I’m looking at this to check out some of the banking options: http://thepointsguy.com/2014/02/the-top-11-checking-accounts-for-avoiding-foreign-atm-fees/

Have you used any of these?

    Use Uber transportation. I do not recommend to use bike because it is not safe. Traffic is a big problem, so be prepare ahead for your appointments and don’t get stock in the rush hours.

  • Paphos

    Cyprus is the best place to optimize you taxes as digital nomads. Many high-income remote entrepreneurs also spend 2 months a year in Paphos or Larnaca, and live a better life than in their home countries. My recommendation is to check this out, so many information on Google or Youtube ;)

  • Larnaca

    I was in Larnaca for 10 days at the end of February. I cannot recommend this city in this part of the year. It feels really cold because it is very windy and there is not much you can do.

  • Bocas del Toro

    Bocas del Toro is an awesome place to come and work at. There are different places to stay and work in Bocas del Toro, throughout the archipelago that offer different experiences. Some places are more remote with high speed internet service, comfortable settings just a bit far so getting into town and enjoying the nightlife can be more difficult. If you want to stay in town there are some options in Bocas Town with co-working spaces like Selinas Hostel, but keep in mind there is a lively nightli

  • Heidelberg

    Very nice to visit, the architecture, nature... I think that person who wants calm stable life and can make friends and has family can live quite decent life gere. The shops... amazing... The Neckar river and bridges... amazing... I have visited Heidelberg I think three times and I will come back to visit it again... It brings smile on my face.
