The best card to use when traveling, i just found it!

Written By William Welbourn

I recently got a  Revolut card and its pretty amazing.

You download the app and set up an account, then you get a visa card sent to you through the post. Why is it so amazing?

There are a few reasons:

1) The exchange rate you get using it abroad is better than anyone else, exchange rates similar to the ones you find on XE.com. 

2) No foreign transaction fees in ATMs or normal spending

3) The best thing is that you can use the app and your phone to freeze and unfreeze the card protecting you from card cloning, it also uses your phone location to only allow transactions in the same country you are in.

4) You can use it like a bank account and make transfers to people in any country with no fees

It costs nothing to get and you can easily load money onto it from any other card or bank account you have using the app. If you are traveling abroad, don't go without a Revolut card.

Bio

I graduated high school, The King’s School Canterbury, in 1998. I took a GAP year travelling and scuba diving South-East Asia. I visited Kho Phi Phi, koh phangan and Kho Samui in Thailand. Bali - Indonesia, Singapore - Malaysia, Cairns - Australia.

I started a BSc Honours degree at the University of Wales Swansea. I graduated University in 1998 with a 2:1 in Business Management.

I joined the graduate intake program of Ernst & Young London in November 1998. I spent three years as a trainee accountant, specializing in investment banking. I was admitted as a member of the Institute of Chartered Accounts England and Wales in 2001.

I then worked as a project accountant with XL Capital in London and New York specializing in the implementation of PeopleSoft general ledger.

In 2003 I chose to move in a completely new direction. I quit my job, bought a ticket (to central Ameica), got a tan, and never went back!

I became a PADI scuba Instructor on the island of Roatan about 40 miles of the Caribbean coast of Honduras. I worked as an instructor in the British Virgin Islands the summer of 2003 and then returned to Roatan, where I have worked since, at Coconut Tree Divers. In that time I wrote my own travel guide/blog www.bayislandsdiver.com

In March 2008 I attended the Course Director Training Course in Kota Kinabalu Malasia. Since then I have taught an IDC almost every month on the Island of Roatan. November 2017 will mark my 100th IDC!

During that time I have also opened a Restaurant on Roatan, www.roatanoasis.com, just to be sure I had turned all my passions into jobs!
