Are slash-proof/tamperproof backpacks a smart idea for traveling?
I’m a 24-year-old woman who will be backpacking Europe solo for two months. Safety is a concern of mine, and am wondering if I would benefit from a slash-proof daypack. I’m thinking with this type of backpack, I can keep my money, cards and passport (along with my camera and iPod) in the bag instead of using a money belt. Good idea?
Here’s information on the one I’m considering – it has locked zippers, hence why I asked whether people thought I was okay to put my passport and cards inside the backpack: http://www.rei.com/product/767657
Oh, and I do have very good street-smarts, I just want to feel as confident as I can knowing a thief won’t have luck with getting any of my cards!
sounds like an awesome idea! where do they sell those? i’ll be in venezuela next month, and i’ve had a couple of purses snatched from me before!
