This budget usually covers rent, groceries, utilities, and entertainment. When it comes to banking, international cards like Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, but it’s advisable to maintain some cash for local markets and smaller vendors.
When sending or receiving money, services like Wise or OFX often provide better exchange rates and lower fees compared to local banks.

For the best value, it’s worth comparing both local exchanges and online transfer services before making transactions.
