Exchange USD/EUR/CRC

[pharcyde]

I am going to be traveling to Italy and Costa Rica next year and I was just curious if it's possible to use Bitcoins as a medium of exchange between USD <-> EUR and USD <-> CRC (Costa Rican Colon). I saw an article a few months back where someone was able to exchange US dollars to the Chinese Yuan at a very low rate. I thought it might be possible without knowing a particular individual in the other country. I figure this board would be the best place to find a way.
