Do you know that
- A bag snatching occurs every 15 minutes and 46 seconds in a developed country that is the UK?
- Or that an estimated 400,000 pickpocket cases happen each day globally?
- Getting the perfect safety gear setup to travel anywhere safely requires just a few pieces of items:
The essentials
Travel insurance
World Nomads Travel Insurance (backed by Lonely Planet) to cover medical costs, emergency evacuation, travel disruptions, delayed luggage and loss of valuables.
Anti-theft bag
The best anti-theft bags are slash resistant, come with hidden pockets, RFID blocks, lockable zippers and a locking system to help you ward off bag slashers and snatch thieves.
Money belt, hidden pouch
Each day 400,000 pickpocket incidents happen globally. Use a slim fit money belt/hidden pouch to secure small valuables comfortably away from pickpockets.
Good to haves
Travel safety accessories
Small price, big results. A good travel safety accessory (e.g. TSA lock, luggage strap, portable lock) can save you tons of headaches.
RFID blocking travel wallets
A RFID blocking travel wallet/purse to beat card skimmers and a cheap, spare wallet to give up when threatened by muggers.
Hotel safety tools
Do you know that ~60-70% of hotel thefts are inside jobs? A portable safe, safe lock, door lock or motion alarm will keep you and your valuables safe.
