Tax Year Prior to 2020: I traveled for 3 weeks internationally for a contract--a 1099. Receipts are hard to get in these countries used cash can I use the State Dept Per Diem rates as expenses?

I assume that airfare and long distance travel--used Train and Bus in Turkey are additional.

Yes. Here is the link to get the foreign per diem amounts https://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp . Also, yes, that transportation costs are separate from per diem.
