Keeping Your Money Safe

To keep valuables safe when you travel, things like passports, credit cards and most of your cash, put them in a money pouch on your body. My husband and I both travel with the Eagle Creek UnderCover Hidden Pocket. We position it behind our side pants pocket. That way, any bulge simply looks like we have something in the pocket. In that position, it is safe and also comfortable and easy to access.

Protect your money by keeping small amounts of money in several places. That way, when you need to pay for something, you are not flashing a lot of cash. And if you become the target of a pickpocket, you won't lose a lot. Or tempt a pickpocket to target the wrong thing: my husband keeps a cheap wallet in his back pocket with just a few dollars in it. Remember that the best way to keep yourself safe and protect your possessions is by not looking like you have anything worth stealing.
