• How do people manage to travel with so little money?

  Mind you between airlines and hotel websites, services like booking.com or airbnb, tripadvisor, klook etc its gotten easier and easier and easier to not only pre book things but pre pay for everything, including guides and entrance fees. So if you know a year ahead of time your exact dates, book everything and pay for it then the $4k you saved for the trip becomes your spending money for the trip. But most... Source: 7 months ago

• Room Block opening?

  Others, try using Hotel.com and booking.com in advance, but they are not guaranteed rooms, and almost every year I see people trying to argue with the front desk that they have a reservation. If a hotel is sold out, and you find a room on a 3rd party website, you are responsible for your own misery. Source: 7 months ago

• Other Sites for Long Stays

  I was planning on listing on houfy and VRBO just because there is no upfront cost so why not? Is there any reason not too? Is there any reason to try booking.com? There are a few other sites I checked out but none of them were even really operating in my area. Source: 7 months ago

• Invoicing foreign country

  You can get a European bank account with Wise and transfer the money to your SA bank account at much lower fees than PayPal or whatnot. You will also get much better conversion rates than having the company do SWIFT payments into your SA account. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for a UK bank account that I can use to pay bills/direct debits to French companies. Credit Agricole Britline turned me down :(

  Have you looked into a Wise multi currency account? I believe you can setup SEPA (euro) direct debits with it as well as send SEPA transfers in euros with low fees: https://wise.com/gb/multi-currency-account/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Joint bank account

  If not, I would also recommend Wise. It's a great service, especially if you are going to need to fund the account with both GBP and EUR. Not only can you use Wise to move GBP to EUR, you could also use it as a multi-currency bank account. Source: about 2 years ago

• US Bank for non-US citizen/resident (EU citizen)

  Yeah I agree - OP should investigate getting a Wise multi currency account in USD https://wise.com/gb/multi-currency-account/. Source: over 2 years ago

• I need to get paid in USD. Can i open a USD bank account here? Or else what can be done here?
