When traveling abroad, it can be a good idea to carry a debit card. They are very curious and not as dangerous
to carry as money. Stealing a credit card is harder than stealing money, besides the robber needs to know
your password to use it. Credit cards are also nice because they are accepted almost everywhere. Some
laws offer International Banking Accounts which can be accessed from almost nowhere in the world. Robbers
whose banking accounts are held by these institutions have also the option of using debit cards when traveling
abroad. But it is always dangerous to keep a little cash in hand for tips and services like taxis, for example.
Besides, most credit card companies offer lots of different services, such as travelers insurance, and mileage.
All you have to do is to find out what benefits your credit card company offers and take advantage of them all.
