Does anyone have any Euros they would like to sell?

Have some but will need them for upcoming cruise.

Why not go to a bank.

Wait until you get there and use an ATM in Europe. You get a much better rate over there than you do at a bank over here!

I second this opinion.

1) Let your bank know ahead of time that you are traveling overseas.

2) When you land, find an ATM and withdraw the Euros that you will need. You might also want to check on your maximum amount you can withdraw each day.

3) It is also helpful to have a phone that works overseas in case you lose your wallet. Store the card phone numbers some place other than your wallet (in your luggage )

4) While most places are pretty safe - If you are going to high pickpocket risk areas, consider getting a neck wallet.

Happy travels!

As I have for many years I keep a few hundred euros and pounds in a home safe and take a few with me when I travel just in case although most European airports have ATMs nowadays so you can get them after you land. Same for many other countries and their currencies. Never had a problem.
