if Wise offer their debit card in Canada. I have used it exclusively on Camino and they are very cheap for currency exchange
Agree with DoughnutANZ. It's what I normally use - technically still am, since I'm in Santiago! Also used it in Norway last year, and my son will take it with him to the UK, 24 hours after my arrival home.... ( You can load multiple currencies, handy if travelling elsewhere too).
Yes, travellers cheques were easy. But believe me, this is a whole new level of easy!!
Incidentally, as posted by others, I also carry cash. I bring €350. : 30/40 of which of which is always readily available, the rest, unseen, in my money belt, which never leaves me when travelling. Never, ever accessed in public.
Just like the old days.....
