Can you recommend me a card I can get in the Uk, that allows for foreign currency free withdrawals or restricted access… Brazil has Reias but a lot of places seem to only accept US Dollars. Also, I’ll be a few days in Argentina, so yet another currency :S Thanks,

I recently went to Jamaica, and lived in a research center away from all the tourist hot spots. I felt like i had a better time doing that because you got to experience life, where as when we went to a tourist location it was very busy and everyone was trying to harass you for money. Im curious if anyone has a preference.

So, how to describe the way of traveling, pretty close to monk-style wandering around, mostly by foot or hitch-hiking, having just sleeping bag, some grains for food and a guitar for extra cash? Not backpacking, as backpacking usually includes staying in cheap hostels or camping grounds, and having enough amount of money for meals in burger king… Also tramping...

how much is the stuff compared to America? please list some examples. food.. sushi, etc. Ipod, nice clothes

I’m most likely going to be staying in hostels and have only about 10 days. What are some good sites for booking hostels? What cities should I see, considering my limited stay/budget? One option is to stay in a relative’s apartment in Cannes for a few days, and go somewhere from there.
