People rarely prefer travelling with large sums of money, but you never really know when your credit or debit card could bail on you. For this reason, you must bring a considerable amount with you to a foreign land. Here are safety tips for when you’re travelling with deep pockets:
Never Keep All Your Money in One Place
This is rule number one of travelling with your assets — don’t put all your valuables in one bag or wallet. You want to place emergency stashes in tens of different places — tucked inside of a book, stacked along with your socks, or underneath the zip of your suitcase. This way, in case you get mugged on your way out or had someone steal your bag, you won’t lose all your funds and be stranded in a foreign land.
Also, you might want to temporarily change your bank’s withdrawal limit prior to travelling.
Carry a Money Belt
A money belt comes in handy for keeping your money and passport on you at all times. These belts are nearly invisible, making instances of pickpocketing almost impossible. The only way to flaunt these belts is to remain mum — you don’t want to attract any attention about what you might be carrying under your shirt.
Put Money Aside
A decoy wallet contains a small amount of cash (ideally 1, 5, 10, or 20-pound bill) and everything else that makes it look more convincing — for example, a ‘family’ picture or a bunch of receipts. In the event of getting mugged or pickpocketed, you could present this decoy wallet that’s been situated in a more open spot than the money belt.
Likewise, if you’re heading out to get money exchanged, you want to take out the exact amount of money you’ve been wanting to change and put aside the rest of the cash somewhere private. Fumbling with one too many bills during exchange may grasp the attention of unsavoury peepers.
