Lucy and Mark were travelling to Costa Rica for a two-week holiday. Leaving from Spain, they planned to travel via the UK in order to catch a direct flight departing from Gatwick.
Staying for one night in London, and then heading off to San Jose, Costa Rica, meant that they were required to use a total of three different currencies overall for their trip.
Wanting to avoid costly exchange rates and enjoy hassle-free spending, Lucy and Mark got in touch with us at Currencies Direct to learn more about our multi-currency debit card.
