This week, World Travel Dad addresses the recent blow to Sweden’s ascension to NATO.  He devolves into a discussion on world religion and why Westerners are afraid of Islam. After a few days in Vietnam, WTD gives his cost rankings for the popular destinations of Bali, Thailand, and Vietnam. He discusses why he is concerned about how much he pays for a beer, and how eating out for every meal can be a death by a thousand cuts to your budget. If you are thinking of World Schooling, he has some thoughts for your budget and how to approach the process of meeting up with other families while on the road. If you want to play the currency markets, but don’t want to open a foreign bank account, WTD highly recommends Wise service.  He has been using it in the global arbitrage game to great success.  You can use this service even if you just stay in the US.  When you need the Euros for that next trip, they’ll be there, and you’ve bought when the dollar was strong. https://wise.com/invite/u/jameso1983 Click the above link to start your account today.  Full disclosure:  WTD gets a very miniscule kickback if you sign up and capitalize with at least $300 in any currency.  This will help fuel his copious beer drinking.  If you think the US dollar is going to come down before your next trip, this is a good tool.  I cannot overemphasize how much versatility this account has given me in trip planning and execution, not to mention currency arbitrage.
