Money Tips:

• Skip airport exchanges – they have worst rates
• ATMs at major banks offer best rates (look for BCA or Mandiri)
• Many places prefer cash over cards, especially in Ubud
• Keep smaller bills handy – street vendors often can’t break large notes

A nice dinner might cost 200,000 IDR (about $13 USD).

Bargaining is expected in markets, but remember – 50,000 IDR is only about $3 USD, so bargain respectfully! 😊

Pro Tip: Download a currency converter app before your trip – those zeros can get confusing!”

Ask Me Anything!

Client Question:

“Should I get travel insurance – is it really worth it? 🤔”

Great question!

Flying to Paradise? Add insurance! When flights are part of your package, protect your investment. One weather delay can domino into costly changes.

Cruising the Seas? If the cruise line doesn’t offer flexible rebooking with minimal penalties, grab that insurance policy. Better safe than sorry!

The Magic Words:

Without insurance: “Sorry, we can’t help you…”

With insurance: “Of course! Let me fix that for you!”

Bottom Line:

It’s not just insurance – it’s peace of mind.

Think of it as a VIP pass to hassle-free problem solving! ✨”

Pro Tip: This is why booking with a travel advisor is so valuable! We have direct relationships with hotels and can often prevent cancellations. If they do occur, we’ll advocate on your behalf and find alternative accommodations. Plus, we keep you informed every step of the way!
