I was just thinking of the conversation on Twitter we had last week about CIBC Foreign Cash Online during the #CIBCTravelCash party. I posted about CIBC Foreign Cash Online here, but I must say that the Twitter party was an excellent way to engage with others and discuss the service offered!
For those who travel often, I’m sure that being able to purchase foreign cash online will be much appreciated. I know for myself, having to make a trip to the bank to purchase foreign currency for our vacations is a bit of a hassle when I’m already running around trying to get things in order for our travels.
During the Twitter party, we also discussed why one may like to have foreign cash on hand when arriving at destination.

Personally, I prefer having foreign currency with me for things like taking a taxi, buying something to eat at the airport, or leaving a tip for a service, etc. I’m one of those “I need to be prepared” kind of travelers. Though I know that sometimes the unexpected happens, I like to make sure I have cash on hand for those “just in case” moments. In summary, I just like to have peace of mind that if anything should happen, I have some cash on hand.

Wow had no idea all this was available!
I need that massive Mexico sombrero in my life. Great tips! We plan to do more traveling next year (hopefully!) now that my littlest one is older so these are helpful! Although a couples trip somewhere tropical and secluded sounds amazing……. *kids in background causing ruckus*
Love it, Carol!! Can’t wait to hear about the places you will travel to with your little ones!! Although a nice couples trip sounds like something we need, I’m pretty sure we’d miss our kids!!
