A10 I'm biased. I watch too much scifi. I'm not a fan of biometrics for traveler identity and payment options. Convenience at what price? #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A9. Yes especially for larger purchases. The exchange rate is taken care of and it is safer. #travelskills #travel #VisaAmbassador

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet I like to post pictures on Instagram of my trips so others can see the places I’ve been. I like to also communicate with the airlines on their performance through Twitter. I sometimes write for a airline site as well, to review the flights. #VisaAmbassador #TravelSkills

replying to @TravelerTed @TravelerTed @cjmcginnis Totally agree. Moreover, the increasing availability of being able to tap your card for small amounts has made easier to track even tiny purchases for tax reports & reimbursement. #travelskills

A9. I tend to err on the side of paying for most things with cash. The only place I've ever been turned down paying with cash is in SanFrancisco. Har! #travelskills

Q10 What are your thoughts on the use of biometrics for traveler identity and payment options? #VisaAmbassador #TravelSkills

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet A10 Electronic payments are sold to consumers as a convenience but what it really does is give governments, data trackers & info hoarders more access to people’s private info. Data mining is a huge industry and this is all part of it. #TravelSkills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers #travelskills sometimes just knowing the temperature isn’t indicative of what it’s really like. Allow for disparity though. 15C will see Canadians and Northern Europeans in light sweaters and sockless beside people from California, S America and Southern Europeans in parkas 😂
