When ever traveling especially in places that are hard to access and ATM’s or have cash-only shops taking cash with you is the only way to go. Protect yourself with the Multi-Stash method.
At the ‘Living Large on a Small Budget’ blog Wise Bread they have come up with an smart and simple way to prevent ruining your vacation and budget all at once. Safely traveling with money can be a daunting task, but with the multi-stash method you prevent yourself from falling victim to losing it all at once.
Carrying all your cash in one place (usually a wallet) puts you at the biggest risk of losing the whole enchilada if somebody lifts (or if you lose) your wallet. In addition, when you whip out your wallet to pay for something and are sifting through large amounts of money, you will immediately become a formidable target for theft.
So carry your cash in a few different places. Put the day’s spending money in your wallet (this can also be an effective budgeting technique), and then stash some cash in a few other places which you don’t access in public; maybe a money belt, lock some in your luggage (an unlikely place like with your dirty clothes is good), and/or put a few emergency bills in your shoe (underneath the insole is great).
This method can not only prevent your funds from being lifted but also help to keep your day-to-day travel expensive on track. Have a favorite tip for keeping cash safe on the go? Share it with us in the comments.
