When traveling outside the US, I try to pay for everything with a credit card that doesn't charge a foreign transaction fee, but you won't be able to use a card for everything, you'll need to have access to some cash. Here are my 2 favorite debit cards and one other debit card you can use to take out cash while traveling abroad.
