this is useless for me i aint a yank
do you have any advice for companies that offer travel packages to europe. This may be off beat, but i am going to attend the cannabis cup in amsterdam and am looking for any advice that would make things a little easier. Thanks.
You Americans don’t know europe
maybe a bit late now for you now, expex20, but i would advise using a specialist forex broker as they charge less than the front end currency exchanges at banks, airports and shopping malls in terms of commission, also if you have the 5000 usd currency, and the currency you want to convert it too now is at an all time low, then you might as well buy the currency. And if you dont spend it all you may be able to sell it later for a higher price. shop around for the best rate, dont just dive in
@expex20 There’s conversion charts or even applications online for that kinds of stuff. Type in google “Currency Convertors”.
pretty good video…Europe might be expensive but it well worth it! Country’s like Austria, Sweden, Italy, Czech Republic, Germany, Norway, Ireland and Swiss are the most beautiful places
