you need enough money to get you food and all that for the 3 months. but no so much that it will get stolen. so intead of cash travelers checks are really good. also dont take anything valuable if you stay in hostels, cause the other people their might steal it.
have fun on your trip!
Bring lots of toilet paper and water. Lots of zip-loc bags.
It depends where you are going. Post more details please.
Depending on where you are from and where you might be going, you may need to prepare to experience extreme poverty, incredible kindness. You will need visas, innoculations, guide books, but also need to do some planning. No on can tell you the best places to stay, it depends on what you want to see and what you want to get out of your trip. have fun
As far as money, I have found that VISA ATM cards seem to work just about every city I have visited at either the machines, or take cash advance at the bank (and since it is a debt card, it processed as a cash transaction).
My rule is Never cary more cash cash than a one month’s salary for an average person in the country you are in.
hope this helps.
