Sure... tho reading lower (or above
) that you are only abroad for say a month - unless something drastic happens to currencies (unlikely) - the difference on amounts like cost of living for a month is prob not going to be much in conversions.
Sounds like a couple of highish-limit cards, a lump of cash stuffed in your back pocket and, if still needed, a fairly moderate wire transfer as backup?
PS... There is nothing wrong with carrying eg $5K in cash (that is not exactly a lot of money - eg. only around 2700 GBP or under 4000 Euros). If anyone asks, it's basically none of their business - it's perfectly legal
