This way, if you are pick-pocketed, you will always have money. George Shultz ID427 - When staying in hotels, be sure to bring your own rubber doorstopper. Lodge the doorstopper from the inside, for added security. Julie Yee ID887 - On luggage tags, only list your first name and email address rather than home address, phone, etc. This prevents luggage thieves from knowing where you live or contacting you via phone in the future. However, the name and email still makes it possible for airline officials to locate you in order to return your found baggage.

Alton ID2148 - As much as I dislike them, fanny packs appear to be a safe and secure place to store valuable items when travelling if you have the sense to wear the bag so that the pouch is in front of your stomach and NOT behind you. But I have noticed that many of the travel fanny packs sold in travel shops and at airports are very small and are also very expensive. Having taken up mountain biking last year, I am aware that mountain bike/cycle shops often sell a large variety of different sized fanny packs for a fraction of the price of travel shops. I now use a California mountain bike made fanny pack which is large enough to carry my wallet, mobile phone, camera, and passport - plus it has both zippers and then straps covering the zippers - well worth investing in if you are a frequent traveller. Janet Czekaj ID886 - No matter what others tell you, DO NOT wear fanny packs, belt bags, or anything of the sort! If you are travelling out of country, locals will usually be able to spot you for a tourist; such bags are a dead giveaway. A quick snip of that belt and your bag is gone. Especially be aware on subways and public buses. Backpacks are also a bad idea - many a thief has gotten away with slitting a hole in the bottom of a backpack belonging to an unsuspecting tourist; the smaller contents of your bag could spill out and you'd never know. This has happened to people I've travelled with. Be aware of your surroundings!
