Credit Cards

The good thing about using credit cards abroad is the exchange rate is pretty good. The bad thing about using credit cards abroad, is that if you don´t tell your credit card company you are abroad, they eventually put a hold on your card because your recent activity is not consistent with your profile. It´s a great security feature unless you´re in the middle of reserving travel accomodations for the next several days. Then it´s a bit stressful.
