The Exchange Rates Really Can Affect A Travelling Escort




 Changing Foreign Currency In The UK.....
May As Well Burn 20% Of It!


I love my International "Working Holidays"  for many reasons and of course one of them is to be able to have a great couple of weeks away while you EARN as well. My donations do vary from country to country, the same as other providers, and of course they have to be higher when abroad so as to cover your endless expenses. It takes a while to become au-fait with a new currency and a new destination but my experience has made me realise that where you change the currency makes a huge difference to your overall profit and after all, that's what it's all about.

I used to change my money in Central London because I have a good friend in a Bureau and he always gave me the base rate....I call them "mates rates base rates" and because I'm really useless with numbers I used to call a couple of other places like Thompsons or Travelex, just to check that I ended up with a good deal from good old Stevie and I was always really happy to know that had I have not seen him, I would have as much as 15% less money in my pocket. Where does it go, I ask? Well apparently our government take a huge chunk in tax (that's a surprise) plus the company need to make a profit and then the location of the place that you exchange makes a difference again.



How Can Location make A Difference You Ask?


Well, if you change it in the luggage hall of the airport, or in fact 'anywhere' in the airport then you really are a big silly idiot! I used to know a lady who would do this and I could never understand how she couldn't be bothered to take a short trip into London because you can actually lose as much as £200 on £1000 if you do that! Of course the rate will be terrible there..... it's a win win for the currency places in the airport

Then you have London, this is a can of worms and you really MUST shop around. I don't know about you but I work too hard for me to give it away because I can't be bothered to do a little research.




I'm happy to recommend a couple of places for you and also "how" to get the very best rate that each individual place can offer. I take no notice of the rate board flashing in front of my face...... always ask for their VIP rate and tell them that you are shopping around, it's amazing what a few points make!



Points Make Pounds!


If you live further from London then shopping around REALLY is essential as the local high street only tend to deal with people who are either going on their holiday or returning from their holiday, hence the "FREE BUY BACK" that most offer now. It's become a really competitive market and everyone is so much more financially aware since the recession. ALWAYS ask for their best rate and ALWAYS call a few other places and often they will price match for you to save you having to drive around.


Now the good news! If you are a service provider or you work in the UAE and wish to change your money back into £Pounds or Dollar$ then DO IT IN DUBAI because I can assure you that nowhere in London will give you the exchange rate you'll get there. I expect some of you bankers and Financial Analysts are reading this and laughing at me for not knowing all of the above and I expect some will say "oh no, I can;t be bothered for the sake of a few quid" but trust me ladies who earn in The UAE can make up to an extra £200 per £1000 by changing it in Dubai. Again, you need to go to a good place and ask for the manager so that he can jiggle with the figures but it is well worth the extra time because what you save you can spend in the duty free without any guilt!
