I find using payment cards when travelling really convenient. It's hard carrying a lot of money around, especially in a totally unfamiliar place. I prefer using debit cards though, it helps me stay within my budget. It's so easy to overspend on overseas trips, like buying souvenir and other tourist stuff.

Whether you prefer cash or any virtual money, safety is always essential in either cases. As a protective measure, bank and credit card companies send out SMS messages to the customers informing them of the transaction of above a certain amount.

I always carry both-cash as well as credit or debit card. I prefer cash so that I lighten my wallet a bit and when things ease out then I slip out my credit or debit card.

I am also using ItzCash card as my cashless option. The most useful advantage of such cards is that there are no transaction fees. It could be useful while traveling to big cities.

I prefer paying via cards. But the worst thing is that most of the time, i will not have balance in my card. When ever my amount gets credited in the bank, i will immediately with draw it and spend it. It has been a very bad habit of mine and trying to avoid it.

Its important to have some balance in your credit or debit cards to use them in emergency. Developed countries have developed the concept of 'cashless cabins' wherein the airlines do not accept cash payments anymore.
