I use my CC everywhere for everything & don't worry about it. A couple of times I have had problems but never a serious one. Normally CC calls me & asks if I just spent "$X" in some random city around the U.S. ($1k in Walmart in Chicago, $125 for gas in S. FL - not sure why they ever allow this, plane tickets- seems impossible to make this work), they know it isn't me as I just charged something in a complete different city.

From 2017-2022 spent 40% of my time in Thailand, traveling the region and Middle East (almost 1.5 years didn't travel because of Covid). Stupid part about U.S. system is a lot of the world requires you to add a 4 digit PIN when charging something (reduces a lot of fraud), & when you pay at a restaurant they bring the machine to you (CC never leaves your sight). In the U.S. we complain about fraud but don't even take basic precautions used in 3rd world countries.
