Overview of International Debit Cards:

Journeying frequently (especially on a budget) literally translates to keeping track of every dime (without getting obsessed of course). It can be especially hard when you have to keep converting currencies. It is better to rely predominantly on debit cards rather than carrying cash or even credit cards. No matter where you go, ATMs can be easily accessed. At any bank's ATM, you may utilize your international ATM card to get money converted in the local currency, on condition that you have sufficient balance in the account. Debit cards are a good choice if you would rather use cash in your savings account.
