WANDEROUS🇳🇵Stranded in Kathmandu: My Wild First Day in Nepal

from WANDEROUS · host Andrew Crusoe

Sometimes when no ATM will work, you end up walking halfway across a capital city. Don’t make the same mistake I did. 😆 This was one harrowing (and unforgettable) 24 hours.Show Notes🎥 YouTube Short: From Istanbul to Abu Dhabi to Kathmandu in 12 hours (in which I consent to looking like a total mess on the internet.)💳 TRAVEL TIP: Always carry more than 2 credit cards. Seriously.💸 NOTE: I would have gone to a money-changer, but since it was early morning on a Sunday, they were closed.📱 TRAVEL TIP: NCell is the cell company I used in Nepal. Here’s their website. There were good! (“incel” joke notwithstanding 😆) 💳 TRAVEL TIP: I checked and I used NABIL ATMs. They were reliable for pulling cash with my American credit card. But you'll always want to check for any fees associated with your particular bank.🥵 TRAVEL TIP: Don’t walk across Kathmandu if you can help it.🛏️ TRAVEL TIP: Give Couchsurfing.com a try — I’ve met some of the kindest people through it.💖 SUPPORTERS: Stay tuned for some harrowing photos from that day, coming on Wednesday to my Patreon, of course.📸 You can follow my Patreon for free to submit questions for future episodes, get member-only exclusive episodes, plus exclusive photos and video: https://patreon.com/hellocrusoe📚 BONUS: My Hawaii travel memoir Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise: Arrival is now FREE with Kindle Unlimited.
