My plan is to travel at least 2 times a year to another country for probably 2 weeks at a time, maybe three. Here's where I need your help if you can provide it!
As others said, need more info. But I'll answer one question. You're new to this so you'll go to tourist friendly places, at least to start. So how much cash should you take with you? None. Or close to none. Take an ATM card. Yes, you pay to use it but you pay even more if your cash gets lost or stolen.
