I suggest that you contact your bank to dispute these charges. Google

somebody probably found out your details and used them, since the
purchases were made in different countries. ask your bank to cancel
the charges this usually is possible

That happened to me last month.  Have your card cancelled immediately,
and ask for reversal of these charges (you may need to fill up a
dispute form).

You may have used your card online, and the site that got your details
might have stored them in an unsecure server.  A hacker may have
gotten the list of clients and posted your complete details, along
with many other customers, on a credit card hackers forum.  That may
be how it could be used where you are not at.  You will also notice
that these are most probably net purchases that do not require
delivery of goods.  Merchants will usually require shipping addresses
to be card billing addresses.
