You gave very good information. Many people would never have thought of this given the excitement they'd be in on a trip of the life time

Thank you for your work and all information! 🙂 Still, I feel stressed and sad, rather then feeling about excited about the trip, having to be concerned about these measures not to ruin your holidays.

Again, another great video! I’ve used the Travelon bags and a backpack for years throughout Europe, Central America, the Caribbean and Canada! I can’t say that I need to replace them because they’re as good as new!!! They last forever!!! On the section of having someone come up to you, we’ve had 2 incidents ONLY!!! One in Greece where a little boy stretched out his hands asking for money, my husband gave him some, and we were then surrounded by a bunch of kids!! It’s been the only time I’ve been a little worried! The second one was in Paris and we were trying to figure out the metro system and a lady heard my husband’s booming voice saying in Spanish “we should get a taxi because we’ll never figure this out”! She came up to us and in Spanish offered her help, bought us the pass for the train, boarded us on the train and showed us which station to get off!!! She was absolutely wonderful. Wouldn’t accept any money from us and just wished us a happy vacation! We’ve been very lucky in our travels. We’ve walked the Rambla in Barcelona at night and never had any problems! As two “older” youngsters, we take precautions and are always vigilant.

You are making me re-think my rather casual strategy to deciding which bags to pack. I tend to favor the cross-body style anyway, and I did get those RFID folders for all my cards, but you have made some very good arguments for upping my game on my next trip. Thank you!

You girls rock! You always give very useful, thorough information! Y'all are tempting me to get the Travelon bag! I look forward to the next video and the next adventure!!

I don't have a clip thing on my case for the wrist strap

I only carry my Trravelons in less I'm going to someone's house for dinner or a wedding or something nice. I don't trust people anymore in public. My Travelon bag is my main bag these days. I don't use my phone in public either. Sucks the world's coming to this

I have two travelon backpacks for years and I keep things like the necessities wipes jacket water bottle etc etc etc
But for important items they are in my bum bag/Fanny pack/ cross sling bag on my front my cell also is on a long lanyard attached to the sling inside
Because I have an I watch I don’t have to take out phone I can look at my watch for calls or messages
And if I need to use my phone it’s secured to me by the lanyard
Also you can receive or make calls with air pod but I add that magnetic strap so if it falls out of ear it’s on me
And I only use one ear

Your channel is so good you both are like professionals what are your occupations

Thumbs up

Any suggestions for an absent minded husband that lose things regularly? I'm going to Rome and Florence and I'm cringing just thinking about how many times my husband will be pick pocketed. I usually carry everything but now with the cell phone theft, I'm thinking he will definitely be one of them. I need to buy him a different case that has the attachable strap option. Thanks for that recommendation, that was perfect. I was thinking he was going to have to wear it like a purse.
