But you will think of how much is the charge for withdrawing money abroad?
When you use your international card to withdraw money in the Philippines, there is a limit of 10,000 pesos per withdrawal and a charge of 250 pesos.
When you also go to other countries, there is a corresponding charge/ fee when you withdraw money in a cash point machine.
Think that international banks will charge 1 percent and 1 to 3 percent for the foreign currency conversion charges. Mostly this amount is applicable to visa and master card.
So what is the best option to do?
1. Calculate the number of days you are going to spend abroad.
Lets say 15 days vacation in Europe/ US/ Asia, you need 50$ per day to cover all your needs. So 750 US dollars you need for the 15 days vacation as your pocket money. This does not include your hotel expenses, and other out of pocket costs.
2. Hotel accommodation is already been paid before you fly. So This is a fixed cost.
3. Airline ticket is also fixed, this means you have to follow your flight schedules to avoid out of pocket costs which will need more money to book flights.
4. Entrance fees to museums and planned places to go.
5. Transport to and from the hotel is also to be considered. Going back and forth will also cost money. You may need a card to buy an online ticket for train, but for bus and taxi, you can pay it by cash. But buying earlier train ticket or lets say one week or two weeks unlimited travel by train or bus is also available.
