Common questions

What is the best way to carry money while travelling?

Carry a small daily amount in a slim wallet, keep a backup card and cash hidden elsewhere, and avoid back pockets.

Do anti-theft bags work?

They add friction for thieves with lockable zips and slash-resistant materials, which helps in crowded places.
