Hi sonia! it's so glad to know you and watch your videos, they are helping me so much!
I am so glad that I am going aboard to Russia as my very first time in my life on this month. It feels like I cannot wait to go to Russia!. However, I have some questions, is that right we have to use the original windows on our laptop? some people said that international airport are not allowed fake software or etc. Do you have some advice? -
Hey David I'm not Sonia but I have your answer depending upon where you live if your Mall has those places set up that might be cheaper than going into your city and doing it there.
I would also suggest a Mall over your bank, unless you have a checking account with them, savings, credit card and a Mortage then you would get a better rate at your bank than the Mall. but aside from having lots of account set ups The Mall should be your best bet.
I would pick the Mall over any city and any bank. -
Hello Sonia, where do you recommend making currency exchanges??
-
Hi Sonia, when you say currency exgange are evil, and to stay away from those you mean it is better to get money from an ATM if you ever need cash than traveling with cash to exgange?

and i agree that calling your bank regarding your visa and debit card before leaving is a most.

Hi Sonia!Thanks for the tips!

Thank you so much for this video. I didn't think about my card being locked. Now I made sure to set a travel notice :)
-
Hey Sonia! I was told that it was better to use an ATM vs. credit card. True or no?

Your bank can and most likley will hit you with fees for each transaction you make. Another big thing is the EU doing away with slide cards, they are switching to chip banking cards so the old slide readers are getting rare. BTW I've run into cash only businesses so you will more than likely have to exchange $CASH$. What I did last year when I went to Scotland was hit up a (CASINO) in Edinbrough; they exchanged my money at the casino with no fees. Yes NO FEES just that days exchange rate! FYI the casinos in the UK are a little different, you cannot just walk in and start playing, you have to sign up for a free membership;PS Don't wear shorts to a Casino in the UK.

Look into using Travelcards and should do a vid on them (:

If you live or work in San Francisco, get a bank account with SF Fire Credit Union. They don't charge any foreign currency or exchange fees when you use your card abroad at an ATM or a store. If the local atm has a withdrawal fee, the SFFCU will reimburse those fees.
