I have spent nearly 5 years travelling the world and have learned a lot of things so i felt obligated to share with you a story that just happened to me recently. To help people so this does not happen to them.
Recently in Brugge Belgium i stayed at a backpackers called Charlie Rockets. Being that i was working in Normandy France and didn't have a bank account i had to travel with all my money. Walking around with 2000 euro is just not cool as it makes you a target.
After having a few beers in the bar after meeting some cool Americans i decided to go to sleep. Upon arriving back i found some spanish and mexican people staying in my room after trying to talk to them in my limitted amount to Spanish and their limitted amount of English i went to sleep. With my wallet still in my pants beside me on the floor.
Upon waking up i found my money was all gone except for the emergency money i hide in other parts of my luggage. which left me up shit creek once again.
So morale of the story and i know it is hard to do especially after travelling for soo long is to keep your valubles on you at all time
Hopefully my bad experience will help someone else on these boards as these boards are designed to help fellow travellers out.
