"My cousin in Perth has just got engaged to another Australian, and they’re planning their big day. Their dream honeymoon is a trip around Europe, which is a repeat of their first holiday together. But however much they loved that holiday, and each other, there’s one lingering doubt — and it’s not the jetlag.
Perth to London is long, but it’s the easy bit. The hard part starts, for them, once they start crossing country frontiers, and the currency changes.
«We like to travel light, to stay in small places, to explore beyond the usual big cities, and venture into countries our friends have never been around Europe, also touching into Africa and Asia. But every time we cross a boundary, and have our passports stamped, we start worrying about the currency. We look at restaurant menus, not for the food, but for the prices — can we afford this? Is this good value? At hotels we ask if they take Travellers cheques, or how much commission is charged to change money, or to pay on our domestic bank cards. We wistfully look at some countries and have been told ‘oh no, that’s really expensive’ by friends at home, so we take the train straight through, without stopping. It’s hard to plan a big trip around currency differences. It’s not the most romantic consideration»
Let’s not let currency issues get in our way. We need to make the process of holding, and exchanging currency easier, with a “safe store” of cryptocurrency in our wallet too, so we can hold our money in that cryptocurrency, until we really need to spend it. Like for that big trip"
Your idea is quite good! Sometimes our traveling has some problems with money. Because each country has its own currency. You think that we should keep money in electronic wallets when traveling freely spending. Good idea. But you should remember that not all countries accept payments in cryptocurrency. For example, when you travel in Vietnam, you have to use cash or swipe card to pay but they do not pay with electronic money.
