Travel money – Useful tips
One of the most important aspects of The Travel, is the desire to procure unique items to remind us of our journeys.
Fortunately or not, in most instances you will have to acquire these items through a very common exchange of local-time currency. So, it’s best to be prepared!
When knowing exactly the time and place to visit, be sure to obtain the correct currency. Unfortunately, it will always be costly to find and exchange old money and even more so, the further back you will have to go. In some instances it might also be illegal (antique/archaic pieces for example) or just plain impossible.
Some travellers will enter societies using forms of value such as beads, ingots, ivory, various forms of weapons, heavy stones, variously shaped metals, livestock, ochre, other earth oxides and so on.
The above eventualities may lead to worrisome and complicated situations but don’t worry; there are solutions for the well-equipped individual.
Silver and gold have, since antiquity, proved to be excellent trading minerals in all forms and sizes. Even if you have already meticulously planned your destination and gathered the appropriate monetary units, we would suggest that you also pack a little of the above, for any emergency or occasion.
Carrying always on your person silver/gold rings or sticks (refrain from being too obvious please!) is essential for any circumstance. Be sure to use plain, unremarkable shapes (no ornaments) so as not to draw attention to yourself and/or disrupt your timeline. Another nice item to serve the same purpose would be a necklace or bracelet with a modular shape, consisting of several pieces that could be separated at will and traded on their own. Use your imagination for this and if you come up with a better alternative, send it in.
That’s my tip for the day,
Stay safe, travel light and spend wisely!
Our favourite time machines – The Omni
What’s a time traveller without his/her trusty time displacement unit? It’s about time we take a look at the most precious of gadgets! We begin with a personal favourite, the Omni.
The pocket watch shaped device known as the ”Omni”, was first featured in the TV series ”Voyagers!” which was a time travel-based show, broadcast in the 1982-1983 season on NBC, starting on October 3, 1982.
The device is portable (a true gadget), quite precise and conveniently presented/masked as a simple antique pocket watch. It’s no wonder that many travellers keep using the design for their own machines! Excellent!
So, verdict? The Omni rules! And if you happen to use it, remember…
