Best combination of card for travelling worldwide

Hi Guys,
Just a quick one...I am going travelling in 4 weeks' time and will be visiting different continents (Asia, Australasia and North America). I will be taking my Nationwide Flex Account Debit Card but I am also wanting to take a credit card to put any larger purchases on that I may need to make (long hostel bookings, excursions etc). I was hoping to use a 0% card and pay back the minimum each month (and, hopefully, if still having funds left in the my current account at the end of the trip paying it off in full then). I'm just a bit confused as judging from the articles on the site the best 0% card for spending is the Tesco card at 12 months 0% but then there is also the Santander Zero card which, while I believe charges a rate of 27%, does not charge for worldwide loads or withdrawing cash. Can someone please advise me on this as I feel I'm just getting more and more confused thinking about it!
Cheers
