Money Belt Tips

Don't open your money belt in public

Keep a little cash in your pocket so you don't have to keep opening your money belt throughout the day. If you have to open your money belt, do it in a private area like a rest room.

Always keep your money belt on your body

Don't store it in your daypack. If you shower in a public area then put it in a plastic bag and hang it in the shower stall with you.

Don't keep everything in your money belt.

If your money belt is lost or stolen you would be left with nothing. Divide your money, take photocopies of important documents, and have an extra credit card, leave these items in your hotel room or safe.
