You will undoubtedly have to carry cash on you, but try to keep this to a minimum, and if you do have a fair amount with you, split it between your inside pockets and your wallet, so that it is not all kept in one single place.

Your holiday is a time to relax, but at the same time there will be a thousand different things going on about you that will distract you
LV Bikini, intrigue you or interest you. It is difficult, but at all times try to be aware of your surroundings, the people around you, and where your wallet and other items are kept. An inside front pocket is the safest, although if you're wearing a coat or jacket, make sure that this doesn't easily flap open and leave the wallet exposed. It may be an old trick, but it still works - to bump into someone apparently accidentally, but in fact making a quick grab for the wallet in the inside jacket pocket. It's easily done, and you won't even realise it's happened until you try to make your next payment.
It is a sad fact that, unfortunately, very many tourists each year travelling abroad have wallets, purses, money and cards stolen from them. As a consequence, of course, they completely ruin the holiday that they have been waiting so long for.
3rd Step Think about the areas in your life that are important - list them down for example career, environment, personal development, fun & recreation, relationship with friends/family, significant other, spirituality etc. Consider where you are with each right now, today. Give each one a score out of 10, with 1 being low and 10 being high. How would you score your satisfaction with each area?
How to set you goals for 2010 - 2020 1st Step Choose a time when you are feeling peaceful
LV bag, relaxed. Free of interruption. Get yourself in a positive state, open to possibilities. Write a list of things of what you are proud to have achieved during 2000-2009. List them down and quietly reflect on them. If it helps you, write the years in a list and write beside each one. Feel the feelings of achievement bubbling up. Give yourself a metaphorical pat on the back... well done you!2nd Step What did you do during these years that were the 'icing on the cake?' Make a list. What gave you your greatest sense of joy? Who was there? What happened? How did it make you feel? What photographs do you treasure of those moments? Go and have a look at them and relive the feelings, sounds and sights.
4th Step Think about how you would like to change each area - what would make it a 10? What would '10' be like for you? How would it feel? Close your eyes if it helps, imagine, dream, design. Paint a picture in your imagination of how you choose to change things. Imagine if Aladdin's genie gave you 3 wishes, how would you use them to change your life? What if you had more than 3 wishes, how would you use them? Drift into your imagination, what can you hear, what can you smell, taste? Who is there? What are they doing? How bright is the picture? Turn up the colour, adjust the volume so it's right. What difference would it make to your life? How would it affect your relationships?
The problem is that people going abroad tend to feel very relaxed, and let down their normal guard. Things that they wouldn't consider doing at home become bad habits that they don't think twice about once abroad, and yet the dangers are often even greater. Petty thieves and organized gangs are very aware of the fact that tourists have three main weaknesses. Firstly, they are relaxed as they are on holiday, and likely to have their guard down. Secondly, they are very likely to be carrying plenty of cash and cards on them. And thirdly, they are in unfamiliar territory, allowing sneak thieves and opportunistic criminals the chance to make a swift and effective getaway, often before you even know a crime has been committed.
Wherever you can, use your credit card to make purchases. Not only is this safer because your credit card company will protect you against fraud and purchases which turn out to be suspicious, but it is less flashy. Nothing is more tempting than a casual, tired tourist who's not paying a great deal of attention and is in a shop making a payment with wads of notes hanging out of the wallet.
So what can you do to help guard against such unfortunate circumstances? One of the common problems is that people on holiday start doing things at strange hours such as shopping late at night, just because they can. The darkness only adds to the dangers, and as tourists, whether you like to admit it or not, you'll be noticeable as such. Doing your shopping during daylight hours, when there are more people about is a safer choice. Of course, whenever you choose to do your shopping it pays to not be too flashy, and wearing expensive jewellery and carrying an expensive designer handbag will draw attention to yourself, but not always in the way you would want.
