How to take Money abroad.


There should be Three ways for you to access money. Cash, Debit, and Credit.
Cash: If you want you can take a small amount out before we go. Like Forty Euros. Some banks can trade money for you. If you Bank doesnt talk to me because mine does. But there is no need to take alot. Remember it is better to pull it out of the ATM in Europe at larger quantities at a time.
Debit Cards: Call your Debit card company and let them know that you will be in Europe for two weeks. Also remember to write down your banks number in case you loose your card on the trip (the number on the back of the card, but not the 1-800 number because that wont work in Europe.) Make sure that you raise you ATM limit with them as well or you will no be able to take out more than $300 at time.
Credit cards: Make sure to bring a credit card too just in case. You never know when it will come in handy. Also let the credit card company know that you will be going to Europe so they don't freeze your account.
It might also be smart to take a money belt that goes under your clothes so that you can put money and your passport in there when we are traveling.
