Welcome to our third newsletter as we approach the two month mark!
|
We have been back on the ground for the last week and have so much to share.
|
A tale of two visas: Milton's smooth Singapore electronic arrival card vs Drew's expensive Vietnam cluster. It really highlights the difference between the two!
|
The other must read is the foreign exchange hack. We have created a neat tool that pulls foreign exchange rates directly off the Reserve Bank of Australia data feed.
|

Having last visited Vietnam 5 years ago in a painkiller enhanced fog I vaguely thought I could pick up a visa for Vietnam when I landed at the airport. Well that’s partly true.
