I would say dont relay too much on the plastic cards. A friend used his in Nigeria and weeks after he left the country someone took money from his account.
My Credit Card suddenly did not work anymore when i was in Africa. I contacted the bank. They told me oh we have send you a new one to your home adress a few weeks ago. I replyed "but im in africa and the old card should be still valied more then two months". They said sorry but we cant help you...
The ATM took my Visa+ cardwhen in was in Southamerica. Even i had my passport i did not get it back. The card was send to the bank in my home country...
Also paypal is not an option: If you log in from too many different countrys while traveling they block your acound for security reasons.
