Pick up your euros before you go. 💶

Do I always follow this advice? No. I usually wander around looking for an ATM when I land because it forces me to get to know the area around my hotel. I am my own worst traveler.

But here's why YOU should actually do this (even though I don't): if you go to your bank a week or two before your trip and they don't have euros on hand, they can order them for you before you leave. Waiting until you land means dealing with airport exchange rates or trying to find an ATM in an unfamiliar place.

Plus, some small local shops, markets, and cafes in Europe don't take cards. You'll want cash on hand.

Pro tip: Call your bank ahead of time, tell them how much you need, and pick it up before your trip. One less thing to worry about when you land.

Do as I say, not as I do. 😂
