which credit card? moving abroad

i'm thinking i should take out a new credit card as there is a strong possibility i will be moving abroad (netherlands) for 3 months and using my credit card a lot. i am not sure if i can take out a dutch bank account (due to length of my stay i do not need a BSN, which i believe is required for a dutch bank account) so i would instead try to use a uk credit card for everything, and pay the credit card off from my uk bank account.

so, is there a particular credit card that would be good for being used abroad a lot? in terms of card approval, i imagine it is relevant to your recommendations that i have no current income (recent graduate, going abroad to do an unpaid internship), but my credit rating should be fine.
