It's like a crazy adventure, this currency thing. It makes my head spin. Just as I'm becoming quite passionate about shopping locally and connecting more to my community, I'm about to travel zig-zag style across the US for two months, I make my salary in a foreign currency, and I have family spread across the continent.
