One more thing: I've discovered that a certain percentage of European ATM 
machines do not process PIN numbers of more than 4 digits, so make sure that 
her PIN is 4 digits.

Also, when my children traveled solo when they were younger, I made sure 
they had a Stored Value Card tucked away in a safe place that was not their 
wallet or purse. Most big banks offer these. I don't recommend putting very 
much money in one, but it's a good emergency backup.
