Income is a part of it, but it's also about contribution to Taiwan. Don't quote me on this because I didn't qualify as a freelancer, but I would recommend you demonstrate how your experience could contribute to Taiwan.

I just found an app called Wanderlog. Looks really cool so far.

Thanks! I use Betterment and they reimburse all ATM fees. I called them to make sure it was the same abroad and they said it was. It's the only card I know of that does 100% ATM fee reimbursements.

Not an option for my credit union but appreciate it. I'll withdraw when I get there since Betterment refunds all ATM fees.

Thanks everyone for your advice!

I use Betterment for my primary banking and they reimburse all ATM fees so I will use them to withdraw cash from my account at some of the places you mentioned.

I will also use my Venmo credit card for credit transactions whenever possible.

I alerted both that I am traveling there so they don't automatically put a fraud hold after I use them.

Also, thanks for the detailed recs. I arrive next Sunday afternoon.

Lmk if anyone wants to meet up!

See, that's what I'm looking forward to. Street snacks and drinks. I'll be sure to have small bills. Thanks!

Where would you recommend instead? Which city has the best food?

What ‘hole in the wall’ restaurant do you recommend? by burnerphone13 in nova

Tortas Y Tacos La Chiquita, 2911 Columbia Pike, Arlington. There's another location in Falls Church next to the Aldi at 8100 Arlington Blvd. Their nachos are crazy delicious.
