Hi everyone,
I have been a member here for years now. I love this travel
board and
have found lots of helpful information. Now it's my time to
give back again to
Travelzine.
I read the messages all the time. I just didn't
have a need for any input for a while. So here goes, I think
this is for Dave
H.
This is some information I have for the person that needs to
know about
paying their credit cards while in Europe for ten weeks. I go
to Hungary every
year for six weeks or more. It was a big problem for me at first
paying bills
and credit cards. I found out after my trip to Europe that I
could sign up
online to pay them! It is fully secure! I have never had any
trouble with the
security online there, as well as here. I can check my bills
online and pay them
too. It's a great relief and help for me. But I also make sure
to take all the
phone numbers for back up in case I need to call them for any
reason or if
anything should go wrong, like their site closes down. I bought
a cell phone in
Hungary a few years ago and when I go back there I just reload
it! It is
great. I spend about $200.00 on all the cards for six weeks,
but I call home
everyday, some times twice a day. I call my family and friends,
my bank, you name
it. It's great for me as I feel safe too. Also if I decide to
stay out late,
or stay with a friend, I can call my family that I stay with
so they don't
worry about me. It is so nice to be free to call home when I
feel lonely. Also it
gives me a sense of security. One night while out a little late,
and I was
lost, I was sure I was being followed! And I was! I started
to panicked a little
as my phone was empty! I thought what am I going to do my phone
card is dead!
I'm like, he doesn't know it's empty, So I took my cell phone
out stated
dialing and acted like I was talking to the police! They guy
took off fast the
other way. What a relief to me! After that I always carry it
with me there. But
never had any trouble. The guy may have just wanted to talk
to me, I don't know,
but I didn't intend on finding out either.
I never had any trouble with the Roma people while in Hungary
or in
Slovakia either. And I went to Villages where there were lots
of them. I felt safe
and they never tried to pickpocket me. I love both Countries
very much and I
can't wait to return there in June for another six weeks. Happy
travels
everyone.
