Choosing the Right Currency

Cons Cont:
Fees: You have to pay to get traveler’s checks, so you might as well opt for credit cards and pay the conversion charge.
The “tourist” label: Traveler’s checks scream “tourist”, which is something to avoid.
In the end, it’s probably best to opt for a little cash to pay for the smaller things, and rely primarily on credit cards for all else.
