thanks for the comment, but that isnt really possible or realistic is it...every pilgrim has to bring a passport and money of some form and they are both things I cant afford to loose...unless you've found a way to travel without papers and money, then that would be something!don't bring anything on the camino that you can't afford to lose.
I don't know that the theft situation is any different now than before. But phones, mp3 players, passports, money and cards should never be left unattended in an albergue or in public. Simply find the most comfortable way to carry them close to your body, such that they are always in the same place and you can easily check that they are there.With the recent spate of thefts and the fact that we will have two teens on the trip with us I want to make sure that things like their mp3 music players and our valuables (4 x passports and 4 x credentials plus money and cards) are safe at albergues and such.
I have several Travelon crossbody purses, one of which has seen me through two Caminos, and have never had any problem with the straps.I've read negative reviews of Travelon (specific to the straps on bags coming unsewn)
@Alex*Quake I am sorry that you would feel berated since you were given solid advice by some of the most experienced and respected members of this forum.
I have never seen travel safes mentioned on the forum. If you use the search feature you may find something. Pilgrims who carry their own packs and gear are very weight conscious and generally will not carry something when a lighter weight option is available. A travel safe would be overkill. (Note: I am referring specifically to travel safes, not the PacSafe or Travelon bags). I did look at a couple portable travel safes that were nearly 2 pounds, too heavy for most of us to consider. Besides, as was mentioned, attaching something to your bunk is an advertisement that you have something worth stealing.
