when i go to europe, i am only going to have american dollars, lets see if i starve. itll be a fun test. anyone wanna let me couch surf, just in case?
In Europe you might be fine paying with USD in larger stores/restaurants but you will get an extra shitty exchange rate so its definitely nor worth it.

Frankfurt is not the most exiting city from a tourism standpoint but I have a couch...
