I agree with tim’s view that it is not good to be traveling to Europe right now.

One can choose to go to Asia or South America to have the best value for your money as well as a refreshing adventure to far exotic places even though one has a small budget.

I don’t see the dollar gaining against the euro until either 1) Americans suddenly start saving like crazy, 2) Interest rates go way up, 3) We get out of Iraq and reduce the deficit, or 4) We elect a new president.

Since #4 is the most likely option (with #3 needing to follow), I’d put off that European trip for a while unless you’re heading to Eastern Europe’s countryside. Or you have someone to stay with. Frankly Asia and Latin America just offer a hugely better value for everyone right now.

Tim –

Thanks as always for your excellent blog. I wanted to ask about your opinion regarding the dollar falling like a rock. This really gets me down….here I am, working like a rat in a cage so that I can retire at 30 and travel 6-8 months per year, and it seems like what I’m earning is being lost before my paychecks/deposits come in! Here you mention that it is the best time ever for Europeans to travel…do you have reason to believe that the EURO will be declining (relative to US dollar) soon? I’d love to go to Europe, but right now it just seems foolish.

Best, Steve
