Money belts
A money belt or money pouch is by far the safest and least obvious way of carrying your money and valuables.
Where to wear a money belt
Worn under your t-shirt, or preferably shorts, they help to reduce petty crime like pick pocketing.
However, most people know that the majority of travellers use money belts so when sleeping on buses or trains turn the belt around and wear it behind you in the small of your back, so that you would be woken up if anybody tried to get at it.
Alternative ways of keeping your money safe
Money pouches and leg straps worn next to the skin are also a very effective way of keeping your valuables safe but of course these are not the best for keeping your readies in!
Accessing your money
Be subtle when getting your passport or cash from your money belt - especially in crowded places, or even in banks when onlookers can see clearly where you have stored the US$100 you have just taken 5 minutes squeezing into your money belt!
