Awesome Travel Tip #1

The “Two Wallet” Trick

In crowded spaces like markets, train stations, or festivals, thieves often work in pairs and target travelers who look distracted.

Carrying a 
decoy wallet with a few small bills and expired cards gives you something to hand over if you’re ever pressured, while your real wallet stays zipped in an inside pocket or money belt.

This small strategy reduces the financial and logistical chaos of losing important items like credit cards and IDs abroad.


To add another layer, split your emergency cash into multiple hiding spots—think inside a sock in your suitcase or behind a phone case—so you’re never dependent on a single stash.

It’s a cheap, discreet, and highly effective way to keep your trip from derailing.
