Next summer (June 15 - July 22) I'm taking a 5 week trip to Europe without my parents. While I'm there I'm going to need money, but I can't be walking around everywhere with cash.

I was curious if anyone knew any type of system (where to find it and who to contact) where I would be able to have some sort of Credit card/ATM card with money already on it. In this case I would be able to go to a bank or ATM to get some cash (in Euros, which would mean it's transferred from dollars to Euros). I'd also require my parents to be able to transfer money to the card online.

Maybe not exactly this type of thing, but does anyone know of anything similar?

Thanks in advance
You can use your bank card at any ATM, as long as a VISA logo on it. That's what I did when I went to Europe. Not only can you parents put all the money they want into your bank account, you get the official exchange rate at ATMS (minus a small fee, which is MUCH smaller than the rip off money exchangers charge), and you do not have to carry large sums of cash.

I hope this helps.
