I calculated that I spent almost $120 on ATM fees and exchange fees/rate arbitrage only withdrawing from ATMs on my recent trip. Do you have any tips on how I can potentially reduce the overhead I have to pay?
I withdrew a total of $2,000

You get a bank that refunds your atm fees globally. My schwab card and my usaa card both refund international atm fees up to like $20 a month each, and they also have good internal exchange rates.

If you are a realtraveller then you can use a remittance service to send money to yourself, but I dont like to carry a lot of cash personally.

1. Don't use cash unless necessary

2. Exchange the cash in US before you go directly with your bank, no ATM needed
>>
Do very few large withdrawals instead of many small withdrawals. Using the cards that I have now, I could easily withdraw $2000 and only lose about $10 in fees.
>>
Get a Charles Schwab account. They refund all atm fees no matter how much it is. They also will express ship you a new card if you lose yours. Easily the best bank.

How do you know how much cash you will be spending in a country? I don't like to withdraw more than I intend to spend.

You sound like a Chase Bank user, kek
