How to Keep Your Money Safe When You Travel

Best Way to Keep Emergency Money When Traveling

There are bizarre ways to hide money, when you travel or even at home. Some examples include, diversion soda cans, hair brushes, peanut butter jars, books, potato chip cans, and many other ways.

Some of these are good places to hide cash while traveling and some of them are dumb. Today, I will talk about my favourite and in my opinion, this is the best way to hide emergency cash when you travel.

I hide some emergency cash in a money belt that you can wear just like a regular waist belt you would use with your pants. I am not talking about a pouch type of travel money belt that amateur travelers use. I have a video on that here: Why Business Travellers Don't Use Money Belts & You Should Too

The wearable money belt I use works just like a regular pants belt. Because it is made of fabric, you don’t need to remove it going through airport security. There is a hidden compartment inside it where you can stack cash. In the unfortunate even of getting robbed, you still will have money on you to return to your hotel.

I usually keep $50 to $200 cash hidden in my belt and it is always with me because I don’t use a regular leather belt when I am traveling. 

Also, I keep several wallets in my bags and hotel and spread out my cash and credit cards. If I lose one, I will have a backup to continue my trip and will not get stranded in a foreign land.
