When traveling abroad, it’s always a good idea to have a little cash before you go, especially if you are not familiar with the currency and you need to educate yourself. The issue of whether you should buy currency before you go, use travelers checks (in US or local currency), use ATM machines, or pay most everything with credit cards is often debated at length. Most travelers do a little of each because the exchange rates in place at the time of your travel may determine what is best for your situation.
