1. Do you use your credit card when you travel abroad?

Sample answer:
It depends on how long will I stay in a certain place. If it were just for a couple of days, then I would try not to use my credit card, so that I do
not have to pay extra for the hidden fees and foreign transaction charges.

2. What are the items that you usually buy when you travel abroad?

Sample answer:

I am a certified shoe and bag addict, so definitely it is necessary for me to purchase at least one of those items. In fact, I have 50 pairs of shoes

and about 25 branded bags. Sometimes I feel guilty spending a lot for those, but I cannot control myself.
3. Do you set a spending limit when you’re on a trip?

Sample answer:
No, I don’t because I want to enjoy my trip. I am not a frequent traveler so I try to maximize my stay at a certain place.
