Discussion Money Belts vs. Cross Body Bags: What's Your Go-To?

[TravelBug2023]

I've been going through some old posts about money belts and cross body bags, trying to decide which one to use for my upcoming trip. I've traveled with both before, but I'm curious about others' experiences. Do you find money belts more secure for crowded places, or do you prefer the convenience of a cross body bag? Any particular brands or styles you swear by for keeping your valuables safe while traveling?

It's a great question! For me, it really depends on the destination and the situation. In crowded places, I tend to lean towards a money belt for added security, especially for important documents and extra cash. However, for day-to-day convenience, a cross body bag with anti-theft features like slash-proof straps and RFID blocking can be a lifesaver. Have you considered using both? A money belt for essentials and a cross body bag for daily use might be the perfect combo. What are your thoughts on that approach?
