Do I really need to carry a money belt when traveling abroad?
Answer:

When traveling abroad, you need to keep your passport, money, credit cards and other important documents safe from would be pickpockets.
No doubt, the next question is:

I was recently visiting a beautiful area when all of a sudden, two extremely scary and massive thugs charged me.
These guys must have been a good 200 lbs a piece, tattooed from head to toe and biceps the size of mountains.
They seemed to come from nowhere. I’ll be honest, I was pretty scared.

Let me tell you that there is nothing, NOTHING!, worse than having a pair of really nasty, stinky, sweaty, sore and super achy feet ruin your trip.
The nasty, stinky and sweaty part is more of a badge of honor, so where it proudly, but the achy feet thing….. that is no fun and can turn [...]
I confess, I’m a shop-a-holic! I love shopping here in the states and it’s definitely no different when I’m traveling abroad. It’s a disease, what can I say?

I love to travel, you love to travel, WE ALL LOVE TO TRAVEL!
Traveling is so much more fun when you don’t have to worry about lugging heavy bags all over the place and even more fun when you don’t have to worry about your frillies (your underwear), bunching up, [...]
Hhmmm, I mumble to myself.
I’m stuck in classic, bumper to bumper, rush hour traffic here in Southern California. I’m in what looks to be an endless stream of vehicles, all of us slowly inching our way to our final destinations.
The vehicle next to me, a plush lime green Ford Pinto complete with fuzzy dice draped [...]
While I was visiting my local travel and adventure store, a display that was sitting in the middle of the store caught my eye.
I saw a small clump of tiny, ball bearings calling out to me, “Come touch me!”
