I keep everything in my front pockets, if the area's dodgy a fake wallet with a couple of old cards and some cash in my back pocket and my passport in my pants.
I don't know if it still happens but in South America muggers grab you in a strangle hold until you pass out and then pull your trousers down to get at the money belt. Coming to in a dark alley with your trousers round your ankles is (apparently) not a pleasant experience.

Not risky places but I'll be in hostels and have my passport, camera and a a few hundred euros on me at some times.
Do you canny a moneybelt all the time? I fail to see what the difference is, there is thieving pikey scum everywhere...Not risky places but I'll be in hostels and have my passport, camera and a a few hundred euros on me at some times.
Doesn't really help much but i did 7/8 months around the world - took my money belt with me - i think i wore it 3 times.
Then i did exactly what i'd do in this hell hole that we live in. I put my money in my pocket and took some care and attention of where i was, who i was with and roughly what was happening.
Oh and i didn't lose any money.

Out of interest, how are you getting to your first destination?Not risky places but I'll be in hostels and have my passport, camera and a a few hundred euros on me at some times.
Agreed, there are pikeys everywhere. Only differences are I don't usually carry large amounts of money or a passport around with me.
Thanks for all the help and advice though.
