## Resource

Do you need cash in Italy? If so, what's the best way to exchange currency? These are questions I frequently get asked by first-time visitors to Italy. In this episode, I'll discuss whether or not you need to have cash on hand in Italy and give you valuable tips on this issue. Also, check out Episode 3 where I talk about using cash, credit, and debit cards in Italy. NOTES: Wise international debit card was mentioned in this episode. Wise allows you to exchange money internationally and functions as a prepaid debit card. Check it out! Visit my YouTube channel for handy tutorials about travel in Italy! Buon viaggio!
