October 21st - Pounds, Dollars, and plastic: navigating travel currency

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kaya Niedenthal of Currency Online Group to discuss the recent fluctuations in currency markets, how the strength of the pound and dollar impacts travel, and why cash still plays a vital role—even in an era dominated by plastic payments. We also delve into tips for getting the best rates and why some places still prefer good old-fashioned cash.     This podcast is free, like the Independent Travel newsletter. Get it delivered to your inbox every Friday.
