Any way to minimize USD currency risk while still tracking the total market?

Over the past 1-2 years I've been slowly upping the percentage of international in my portfolfio, now aiming to end around 35%, which should give me a mix pretty close to VT... which is the goal - I have no interests in picking winners and losers, I just want to follow the market.
That said, I am a little uncomfortable with the amount of my financial life that is tied to the USD - my income, my cash savings, and 65% of my stock portfolfio.
Is there any way for me hedge against USD currency devaluation in some small but meaningful way? I have specifically wondered about the possibility of buying index funds in euros, although I wouldn't know how to go about that... or what the conseuqences of such would be.
