One of the easiest pitfalls for travelers to fall into is the curse of excess currency. As you make your way through Europe, South America or any other region it is easy to collect unspent monies from each country. While the size of this horde may seem like a lot of money at first, you'll be lucky to have a fraction of it left after you factor in service charges and low exchange rates. It is essential for a smart traveler to be as aware as possible of how much cash he will need.
