Traveling is not free, no matter what some tiktok video tells you. You will need to pay for your food, for your hotels, for your flights when you travel and that is why it is important to have a better idea about money when you travel abroad. Wether it is making sure you have a mastercard or visa card or knowing what the local currency looks like, money is an issue you will deal with as a traveler. Here we talk about some money issues travelers and tourists have to deal with when they visit Europe.

    We took 4 different cards with us to Europe, and wound up using the one we didn't plan on using, just because it had the most reliable tap function. Tap is everything in Europe, especially at kiosks

    You are crushing it recently! My parents are taking their first trip to Europe in October and I keep sending them your videos. I’m trying to keep the potential culture shock to a minimum. Keep up the great work!
  • You forgot to say to make sure you have coins for the public toilets that charge.
  • @CarlRMartin
    Perfect tips! You covered everything! Thank you!

    We just got back from a month in Europe and the UK, covering 6 countries. In my experience, an ATM powered by Euronet should be avoided. The exchange rate is not favorable. And I echo the comments made that many places are cashless. You don't need to have an Oyster card in London if you have a contactless pay option or something like Apple Pay. The Oyster card is still available and I used one I bought 6 years ago.
  • Great vid! This is great information that most of us had to learn the hard way.

    i’ve been watching a ton of these videos, im going to paris this spring, i know it’s not for a while but better to be prepared now and have it in the back of my head then to not be prepared at all
  • Very helpful video Mark, you’re channel is appreciated by many. I myself have gotten at least 10 people to subscribe. Gotta get you to that 1 million!!

    I haven't checked recently but AAA used to offer a money pack for going abroad, usually enough to go from the airport to your accommodations. If you are traveling light or dont mind the load, many times public transportation such as subways and rail serve airports, check into this before pondering a taxi, I learned this watching videos aimed at airport arrivals and how to get into the city.

    Great tips. We usually bring multiple cards from different banks for redundancy in case a card doesn’t work, gets stolen, etc.

    Judging from my own experiences in the last 12 months and from comments on this video entered by other people, the most important advice from Mark is at 9m 18s. Make sure you take a card with you, and make sure that it is contactless - (ie has the Wifi symbol on it). Many businesses in Europe, even in GERMANY, are 'cash free'. It is one of their contractual terms that they only accept payment by card (or by bank credit transfer).
