Great interview Gary. I am always checking your site daily while I am doing research for my trip. A lot of the places that you have been to and written about on here are now in my plans. Thanks for opening my eyes to new parts of the world.

Gary is it pretty easy to exchange currency while on the road? Do you exchange neighboring countries money or is it better to get dollars back before leaving a place and then exchanging those in the new country?

Gary Arndt Cambodia uses the US Dollar as a de facto currency. All the ATMs there give out USD, so that is why I have dollars.

Usually, you want to get rid of most of your currency before you get to a place. I try to plan it so I don't have to exchange much if anything if possible. Airports are usually horrible places to exchange currency. There is more competition on the streets of major cities so you get better rates.

Ultimately, the best rates are just via the ATM.

Incredible photo Gary. Did you learn photography along the way on this trip or have you had prior experience?
1 reply
Gary Arndt I knew nothing about photography before my trip. I have never read a book or taken a course. I've learned everything via taking lots and lots of photos. I cringe at some of my early photos from my trip, especially in Hawaii. I'm slowly getting better. I think i've taken close to 20,000 photos on my trip.

Did you get a round of golf in? That has to be one of the most unique courses in the world.
