Yeah, that's my point ..... hitting the ATM every day / second day .... those fees add up. Also, in certain places there seems (at least reports of) greater risk of fraud etc when using ATMs .... so I try to use them as little as possible.I try to look ahead to see where I can use credit cards (decreases need for cash) .... but again, depends on how much fees are involved.

Clothes with secure pockets where I keep a copy of passport, some money and one card. Money in small denominations that is easily accessible, and the rest in a more secure place.I usually have my small camera with me too, but I also make sure that I upload the photos from the camera on a regular basis. Cameras are replaceable - the photos on them are not.

This has been a really useful thread thanks. I was wo during what to carry with me. I plan to lock my backpack in the room when I go out (I bought a Pacsafe). But wondered what to take out with me.During the day I'll have a day pack with purse (money, cards), cameras, iPhone and passport. I was wondering should I pack a bag to take out to restaurants in the evening? Just a small one as I'm wondering if I'll look sillyl going to a bar/club/restaurant with a backpack?

Well....even a few hundred pounds,if you are walking around the back streets or through the markets of Caracas or Nairobi,is a lot of money.Where are you going?

I'm off to Costa Rica, Gutemala, Belize, Mexico, Eccador, Galapogas Islands and Peru (sorry for the spelling).28
I'd wear a money belt in crowded places/cities/markets/bus stations etc. in Guatemala,Mexico,Ecuador and Peru.Its true what Billy says though...I wouldn't open it in public.Carry a little money in your purse or pocket and most of it in the money belt.
