Recommendations for a travel wallet

smoochy — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 03:19:11 GMT

Doesn't need to be labeled specifically as a travel wallet, just looking for one that can hold a passport and is RFID protected. I figured some of you seasoned overseas travelers might have a favorite. Thanks.

🤗 Check out the Travelon bags on QVC. Passport Wallets, and various crossbody bags designed with passport safety in mind. RFID protection and antitheft features make it a favorite bag for travelers.

Baggalini also sells anti theft pieces. We travel often and I have several different types of RFID and anti theft. This day and age, it's a must to carry items that keep your personal things safe.

I have the ZOPPEN RFID Travel Passport Wallet & Documents Organizer Zipper Case with Removable Strap. I paid $17.99. Think it's $16.99. On Amazon. Can't say enough good things about it.

One thing I would add is to declutter your wallet before travel.

Take out store cards, business card/reminder things.

You just need essentials: ID (you can get a passport card), a couple of credit cards, a little local currency. I take out my insurance cards too. Outside the US no one will want my BCBS/medicare card.

You can also look at Rick Steves website. He is known to travel to Europe every year and espouses the importance of safety on your travels.

Very good advice. I used a crossbody and put my $, credit card, passport inside the inside zipper compartment. So very glad I did because I got pickpocketed on the metro train in Paris. Had my bag laying across my front in a VERY crowded subway and still they got the outside zippers opened! They are champs at what they do, Fortuneately an undcover cop was on the train and stopped the whole thing. What an experience. Can't say enough for being watchful and careful!!!
