At home, I tend to be pretty tight with my budget. I don't have the opportunity to travel as much, the nightlife isn't as exciting so I tend to spend wisely. Going to Spain, I KNEW my choices would be much more interesting, so I planned for that. However, the exchange rate was amazing & I ended up spending less than $2500 for the whole semester (i.e. food, entertainment, travel.) My trip to Mallorca was only $200 after all was said & done!

Personal comments
I liked using traveler's checks, waiting for a good exchange rate, and then cashing in large amounts. People who used their ATM cards didn't realize how much they were spending. However, with the EURO being in place now, it's easier to determine how much you're actually giving away.
