My journey started on Sep 21, from Boston to NYC, flight to Egypt then Turkey, back to Boston! Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet!

Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more:

1- I used Localbitcoins for cash! Search for best local currency rate!
2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305.
3- Is it save to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends

You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!!

Save $305 from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges is fantastic.
Thanks for share your experience, will encourage more people to use bitcoin even though it's always fluctuate.
But, as long as there's no bad news which lead to another crash, price fall down over $1000, it will be fine.
Well, if you can share some photos about your journey will be great.

Congrats man! People like you contribute to bitcoin booming.

I was searching the other day for places where to spend bitcoins in my country and I couldn’t find many. Some of them were supposed to accept bitcoins but when I went on to the website I couldn’t find it as a kind of payment accepted.

I suppose I was seeing the glass half empty whereas you saw it half full, so thanks for your optimism.

Yeah, Bitcoin can enhance your traveling experience. By coming into contact with local bitcoin users at bitcoin friendly places, travelers will be able to see a different side of the destinations they visit. They will even have the opportunity to bond with the locals over their shared values and opinions on bitcoin.
Next time I travel internationally, I hope I'll be able to leave my credit and debit cards at home. Cheesy

Where is my ring of blades...

this is one of my dreams to travel to some other country and take with me only bitcoin on my cell phone or even on some paper wallet and spend it there. although my dream involve spending bitcoin directly not to be forced to convert it to local currency and then pay for stuff.
like paying your hotel, taxi, restaurants,... with bitcoin.

but how about the price difference? for example if bitcoin is $4300 on localbitcoin I usually find much lower prices that they are buying at. won't that negate the $305 you saved up?

Sorry to say so, but you must have a shitty credit card deal if that's the case. My debit card has zero fees for international withdrawals, I can't imagine one that has worse fees than the deviation localbitcoins has from actual bitcoin exchange rates.

I have always heard people here saying they will spend money on travels or buying for routine life, but I feel your story shall be an inspiration for many of us, who would like to use Bitcoin over cash, just out of curiosity, the prices were preety much fluctuating, did you had a contingency plan, Incase the price went to low. I am sure many will take your story as a example, but not all are lucky to have 3 Bitcoins to spare.

Just stay inside your hotel! Don't leave! Don't invite someone to your room! At the lobby.

Both countries are safe, exchange rate to USD is good, and to Bitcoin is great! Do your own research...

Nothing impossible, you just invest right, use the income to do something very unique! You don't live twice!
