about not carrying a lot of cash around. That old saying about not having all your eggs in the one basket.
For a three week trip i split it into thirds
One third cash, which i use in the first week
One third travellers cheques
One third credit/debit card.
I've used Travelex and it was simpler to use Aussie.
If you get a Wizard Clear Advantage mastercard and load it with your own cash, there will be no conversion or transaction fees.
