Money Belts and Carrying Valuables Securely

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A money belt or money pouch is by far the safest way to carry your personal valuables when travelling at home or abroad. As well as providing a hands free solution to carrying your essentials, money belts and shoulder wallets are the least obvious way of carrying your money and valuables.



Your money or passport can be stored and worn under your shirt / blouse or t-shirt, and if a slimline money belt is worn they virtually eliminate the chances of pick pocketing. What the potential thief can't see they won't bother to target and so a nice ultra slim money belt, leg wallet, or shoulder holster wallet, provides a comfortable and safe way to carry the essential valuables that you need when travelling in a non burdensome way.

Good advice for using your money belt or pouch when travelling on holidays is to be subtle when getting your passport or cash from your belt, especially in crowded places or where on-lookers can clearly see where your valuables are stored. Secure your valuables quickly and in a place where you are not surrounded by lots of unknown strangers. Sit down with a friend to organise your belt and valuables to minimise a score from a potential thief.

If you are carrying a large amount of cash or valuables then don't broadcast the fact that you are wearing a money belt - be discreet at all times in open places. When paying for goods in shops or stores on holidays, take an amount from your money belt when it is safe to do so, so that you do not have to get your cash out in full view of other customers in the store. When used in a responsible manner - money belts and wallets are a great and safe way to carry those holiday essentials, especially when travelling abroad.
