Traveling is fun, awesome and life-changing, it can also be dangerous as an accident can occur.
There is a need to be careful with your safety and your money. There is a need to take along cash for day to day activities like shopping, for transportation, dining, and so on.
It is best to keep your valuables as well as your money in a place where it will be hard to lose mistakenly or to thieves. You should have some emergency cash that can get you to your hotels.
Some of the best ways to hide money are listed below.
Divide Money
You should make sure you divide your travel cash and even credit cards into multiple safe spots even if you want to disregard all other advice about keeping money safe. This is because if your money is in a place, it is easy for a thief to just wipe you out in a second. You should make sure you use this method when you are planning to go out. You can keep some on your body while the others are in the bag that you carry. This means if your bag gets lost or snatched, there will still be enough money to take you to the station or back to your hotel.
Try to keep enough small bills with you
Although withdrawing or changing large amounts of money can reduce the fees that you will pay for local currency, it also means that you will travel with more cash on you. Another thing to do is that change the larger money with you to a smaller denomination of the currency and also easily accessible. The first thing to do while you park your bag for the day is to ensure that you have small bills and coins ready so as to make purchases like souvenirs, food, and attraction fees. You should then keep the larger bills away in your secret hidden place.
Hide your money in a hidden pocket
This is also another perfect way where you can hide away your valuable documents and money on a trip. This is quite helpful so that when you are robbed, there is still some cash that you can depend on. This is very useful and you can even make these hidden pocket yourself and just sew them in a place that is comfortable with you.
Make use of a dummy wallet
This is a wise method to use when you are in a mugged situation. When you are asked for your money, you can just give the thieves a dummy wallet and this is a pre-prepared wallet with just only a few bucks in it and some old library and useless cards. You can hand this over so that they can leave you easily. You can even use the dummy wallet to keep smaller bills for day to day activities while you leave the other proper wallet at your accommodation.
Store your Valuables very securely
Sometimes the best thing to do is to just leave the money at your accommodation. There are many accommodations that will provide in-room safe that you can keep all your valuables before you explore the city. If your hotel does not have in-room safe, you can ask if the hotel has a safe-deposit box behind the desk and you should ensure you retrieve your items before you leave the hotel. If you are the colorful type, you can try to leave a colorful note on top of your suitcase so as to remember.
Make use of Money Alternatives.
You should try to find alternatives that you can use instead of taking cash with you all the time. It is best if you can just stop using cash or credit card transactions and use the incentives provided in the hotel. For instance, if you are planning to travel around with public transportation systems that giveaway multi-use cards. You can decide to buy tickets and cards at a discounted price and then take advantage of this. With this, the chance of losing your wallet will be reduced greatly.
