EXIT STRATEGIES When traveling it is prudent to convert most of your money back to your native currency before you leave. With some nations, it is illegal to take their money out. Also some money has such low esteem it cannot be converted once outside. I still have several hundred dollars of Ghanaian paper that no one will touch. A friend of mine invented the strategy where travelers donate their assorted coins. These are collected, collated and shipped back to their respective countries then given to charitable causes. Some countries still have exit taxes. Be sure you have the right form of money to pay to come back home. I have “lent” many a wayward traveler the requisite amount to get them through customs. Lots of people can experience great adventures. It is these who RETURN with photos who get the glory. PicsArt Monthly |15
