What currency to use?
I'm sure I saw a post relating to this a few months ago, but can't seem to find it...
We are starting to count down the weeks now for our trip and one of the thinbgs to start thinking about is currency, which one/or a few different ones and how much of it.
Our starting point is Vladivostok and then heading west through Mongolia and the Stans.
Is there anyone with recent experience of those areas in terms of best currency (or maybe not so recent experience) to take/use ie Euro, US dollar or GBP etc.
The other thing we can't decide on is how much currency to carry with us. We are travelling in a 4x4, and we have a safe bolted in, so can store it there.
My initial thoughts were in the region of equivalent US $1500 or so...:confused1::confused1:
Is this too much/little?? We will obviously be using cards where ever possible, so it will be small day to day things maybe but more than likely emergency money.
The main question though, which currency???
