Past participants recommend budgeting about $1,500 USD for personal expenses. Of course, some people spend more and some people spend less. You should do some research on your own about costs, think about how you usually spend money when you are traveling, and create a realistic budget for yourself. For more on the average cost of meals, see “Meals” below.
The amount for personal expenses is intended to provide a reasonable minimum estimate for meals, travel within your host-city, laundry, minor emergencies, etc. Please note that estimate does not include optional independent travel, personal entertainment or currency fluctuations.

ATM cards require a 4 digit pin—be sure you have one before you leave. MasterCard and Visa are widely accepted in Europe and will also give you the best exchange rate. Travelers checks such as American Express and Thomas Cook will be accepted at banks and currency exchanges but may require that you pay a commission fee. Don’t rely solely on one method of getting money; have a back up.
