Just as a bit of an 'FYI' for readers...., MOST museums in the UK , are free to enter everyday. So there isn't a 'free day' option. You can leave an optional donation if you so desire upon exiting the museum. It makes it an easier choice to visit, for a traveller on a budget. Great video once again Christina. Always with the consistently great content.

One of my favourite things about travelling in the UK!!! Thanks for sharing that with others and leaving such a nice comment as usual 🫶

One thing to note about budget airlines, these are the best when you have timing flexibility - I've had some nightmare delays and cancellations, but the worst part was there was no customer service as no one is actually affiliated with them at the physical airport compared to major airlines where they have staff you can speak to. You could be on the phone with them for 4-8 hours to get you on a new flight and typically you'll be paying out of pocket and getting a refund months later. Sundays they aren't even open over the phone! Aha

I'm all about being on a budget. I will totally splurge on a few "cheesy tourist" things but I choose those carefully and plan ahead, and then everything else has to be free or close to it. I say that now and then I will end up spending $1000 more than I should have. Ah well...

Love a good splurge!!! Always worth it in the end for the memories 🫶

Hi Christina, can you do a how-to video with Wise or the other card you mentioned? Your video with the esim was very helpful.

@HappytoWander 4 ай бұрын

Oh interesting!! I actually hadn’t thought of doing one before but that’s a great idea. What would you want this video to cover? The whole set up process? Or more of a review? Let me know :)

@boymom509 3 ай бұрын

The set up. I signed up a few months ago after watching one of your videos, but that's about it. How do I transfer funds to the card? What are the fees that would be accrued? I'd love to use the Wise card instead of my bank or credit card.

@coral2534 3 ай бұрын

Yes I would like that too. I’ve ordered my card already and still waiting, it’s been more than a month. Love your videos btw!
