Thank you! Great info

Can't do the van system in the US -people are f*n crazy here.

Exactly the information I was looking for! Thank you!

Puerto Morelos my retirement home 🏡 I just need to wait 7 more years

Would wearing a chain bag make it more slash proof?

For all the people commenting to “just buy…(such and such a brand)”, the whole point of this is to make a bag you already have work! Thanks for these tips!

Thanks! Will use these in Europe next spring.

It's so sad that we have to do this. But necessary!

Amazing tips and tricks. Thanks for sharing 👍 I appreciate it very much 🙏

Question I have a chest sling bag and I travel and it has 3 pockets and one big pocket and I travel how would I be able to lock that when I travel I got it from the goodwill. I can wear it under a coat but I live in southern California and it's always hot I can only find a way to lock the big pocket I want to also lock the 3 pockets. I need some suggestions do you have any?

Do you know by chance how can l get to Cancun ?

Thanks a lot, this video is great to know how to move in Puerto Morelos.

The Colectivo only runs on the main road between Cancun and Tulum, right? It doesn't go from the Puerto Morelos colonial side to the beach side. Is that correct?

Those are really helpful tips! I really relate to the "be flexible" part because you really don't know what will happen when you're already there. I also made a video about my experiences with trade shows and conferences as well. Thanks for this!

The trend right now is wearing fanny packs across your front. I'm actually going to buy a nice one for around $20 on Amazon... I'm too paranoid!!!

Great tips! One other I've done on the "be flexible" tip: be prepared for the class you pick to not be what you expected. If possible, slip out and go to your back-up for that time period, or if you haven't had a break, use that as break time.

I wouldn't put the key of the backpack in plain sight. You never know if irritating kids will steal it just to annoy you. Have a lock with numbers instead.

Get a pacsafe crossbodybag or a riutbag with zippers that face your back. Multiple backpacks are inspired by riutbag and have zippers that are at your back. Pacsafe has zippers that lock. Travelon has that too but I heard that some people say they are not well made.

I use a slim fanny pack for my good stuff & my purse with bit of money & other stuff. Works for me

This is BS. If they want the purse they WILL TAKE IT & will rip it apart with a knife period.

Why does she have the voice of a THREE YEAR OLD. No credibility whatsoever.

Hi great tips. I would like to see time stamps on your videos for a quick review of key trips or a remake of the last 5 minutes of this video. Great info and last minute tips and tricks for those that don't plan ahead.

I use the Travelon Anti-theft when I travel.

I also have a none theft purse and wallet with a hidden inside pocket the size of the entire purse and hard to see

I have kind of gravitated toward leaving the valuables at home but when out and about I use a money belt bag that is hidden under my clothes flat and it has zipper too

use a TRAVELON purse...it has locks on the zips plus a wire embedded into the straps

Thiefs are one step ahead of common man,if you give them signals that there is valuable by holding hand on the chain or taking extra precautions one is likely to be targeted. Keep it simple, do not put in money in one place, so that you have something saved even if you are the victim. Always be present minded while you are travelling that will save your belonging.

While at Isla Mujers did you rent a golf car? How did you find the Mayan Beach club and how much did it cost?

Travel Tips By Laurie has a bunch of helpful anti-theft tips, too - a couple of my favorites are, when at the beach, put your valuables in your glasses/sunglasses case so that no one's the wiser, and, when at a restaurant or similar, if the chair allows for it and you want to hang your purse on the back of your chair, use a carabiner to attach the straps of your purse together in between 2 rungs of the chair (kind of hard to describe but when you see it it makes sense) so if someone tried to grab it, the carabiner would catch on the rungs of the chair.

I use locking micro S-biners, and if there is a spot I want to lock the zipper pull to but there isn't something small enough for it to clip onto right there, I just add a keyring. My travel purse is black, so I removed the removable zipper pull extensions (the zipper pulls themselves are really small, so hard to grip without the extensions), used black keyrings and S-biners, and used black sharpie to color over any of the silver printing on them. My mom used a backpack whose zipper had 2 zipper pulls, so, since the zipper and zipper pulls were silver and the openings on them are where the pulls attach to the slider, and there was a flap over the zipper, she used a silver locking micro S-biner. Easy for us to get into, but hard enough to deter an opportunistic thief. Works like a charm.

Love the purses but sometimes pick pocketers cut from the bottom of the purse. Especially in crowded areas, so best option take as little as possible. I like the scrunchies that have hidden compartments .

Fantastic ideas!

I just heard the other day that they grabbed the strap and hauled the girl down, and took off with the purse.

I like a small, flat and smooshy crossbody bag that hangs from a strap UNDER my top (or preferably under my overshirt, jacket or sweater). It should hang high enough to not peek out the bottom of my top. The top or overshirt should be flowy enough to camouflage any lumpiness of the bag. I can button the overshirt at a midpoint to obscure the crossbody strap. I then carry a metal thermos on a strap and/or small grocery bag filled with a few visible food items. Makes me look more like a local, and the metal thermos can act as a weapon. These items are distractions. I have to be very careful with my bag, because I must carry medical equipment and medicine with me at all times. I do have spares of medical items just in case, but of course they are at home or the hotel. I carry an elegant version of this bag for dressy occasions. It will have a thin, metal strap. I’m handbag obsessed, and have quite a collection of small-to-medium bags that I’m only using when I feel very safe. I’m thinking of downsizing - a lot, and using my Longchamp Le Pliage nylon bags when I must carry many or large items.

Great tips however a determined thief would probably just slash the bag with a knife.

Thanks for thinking of all this idea .

I bought a backpack purse on amazon where the zipper is against your back so hard to get in to.

Nice! Ways to delay someone from getting into our purses. Don’t have to become a victim of “opportunity” crime.

I love the Kipling purse, I have it in pink. Definitely perfect for travel.

Great tips!!!

Hi great tips. I have a chain with a little bell on my wallet. I clip the chain on the hook in the inside of my handbag and also put the wallet into a zipper compartment of the interior of my bag. Potential pickpockets wd not be able to detach my wallet from its chain and also the little bell wd ring alerting me to the theft.You can buy the little clips, and bells cheaply enough. Great video Thank you

I NEVER travel with wallets. I keep the bulk of my money ON MY BODY INSIDE my clothing, either in a money sleeve or in my bra (yes, I channel my granny), with a couple of bucks in a pocket for easy access. I’ve literally sewed small pouches on the inside of my jeans/pants and skirts, as well as removable ones that I tuck inside my bra. So, the best option that works for me is to use a money sleeve and also a RFID blocking card case to protect credit cards. And only use ATMs INSIDE of banks or reputable establishments. Whenever I use a bag, I use either crossbody or backpack that I wear in the front, but money always remain on my body INSIDE my clothing. Professional pickpockets won’t be deterred by locks bc they’ll just cut the bag. I’ve seen it all while traveling over the years.

So pretty video.

I put cactus in my bag

I never need that "dummy wallet" because I have my 9 on my body and I practice deploying it - and thank you for the other tips - everyone should take a class on situational awareness and to be aware who is around them at all times

A tip for cross body bags with an internal key strap. Pull though and wrap round/feed through handle then when almost used up clip to zipper clasp. No-one will be able to undo the zipper.

Or just get a Travelon purse that has these features and many more including RFID, locks for zippers, wires in handles, slashproof fabric, and ways to attach the purse to your chair or table

Love your video! So important to keep your belongings safe while traveling and not while traveling 😁 A good friend of mine had a personal bag stolen with all of her shoes and her camera when we got off the plane in Honolulu. We had to go shoe shopping - fun but very disappointing!! When we go to the beach im always afraid to go in the water and leave bags on the beach. Do you have any suggestions for that. Thank you!!

Criss body styles best as if you wear on your shoulder thieves can take it from you before you can blink your eye.I have used most of these hacks as it just seemed common sense. Also keep in mind that you will be using the bag so don't make it unfriendly to use.

Wow thank you for this. Some of the tips you suggested I’ve actually applied. But the one with the crossbody bags I.e. binder ring and safety pin are genius. I’m traveling to Europe which is notorious for pickpockets comes in very handy. 😁
