 May May Meredith May Post Count: 1 Msg: #1 226 days ago, March 2nd 2008 | I am planning (well..thinking about) a trip to europe, australia, and parts of South America and Africa for about 6 months. How much money should I bring? I'm going to take out a loan. Thanks! | wanderworld Susan Lewis Post Count: 10 Msg: #2 225 days ago, March 2nd 2008 | You are asking two different questions : | 1. What will my trip cost ? It will cost about $10,000 to travel - including airfares, time at cybercafes, a nice meal here and there - on a budget for 6 months. Put that money in a checking account that is accessible by an ATM card. 2. Use your ATM card every 3 or 4 days. The idea is to take out enough money to function for a few days, but not lots and lots of cash. Carry only enough money for bus fare and a meal in your pocket. The rest of your stash lives in your money belt, safely tucked away with your ATM card. Number of Users: 2 | Number of Posts: 2 | ||||||||||
