Travel Safety
« on: June 06, 2012, 12:38:03 PM »
I've found some energy to work on an online project again, so I'm putting some effort into a small niche online store selling money belts.

Except I realized I'm not *really* selling money belts. I'm selling safety.
So apart from the very practical product side of things, I'm putting together some content about travel safety.

I was wondering if you guys have any advice and tips on this. And especially your own experiences and stories of things going wrong for you or a travel friend.
I'm scrounging the general information on the interwebs, but first hand experiences are always a lot more interesting.

Various experiences with different money belt models and materials is also welcome.
For instance, I hear a lot of people say that nylon gets very sweaty and that a proper leather belt gets the stuff inside quite moist as well.

Any help and advice is appreciated!

always carry a towel ;)

my mums favourite piece of advice was "always pack condoms" although as a teenager she would take care of that one for me ;)
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

that's sooo easy to read in the wrong way :-X
'Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.'

'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

I dont think so.

about to become. Prepare to die.
