I want to keep my money close to me. Any suggestions and places where I can buy something to keep my money safe? Airport stores?

I tried one of those next-to-your-body pouches one time travelling & found it hot, uncomfortable, & clumsy to access.

Quickly threw it away & went back to my jeans front pocket. Just as safe.

How about your right front pocket (if your right handed)? It's the safest and quickest place to access your money.

Money pouches are a waste of time and are more trouble then their worth.

Money belts / pouches are a sure signs for local thieves to target you.

Try at Namdaemoon market. All those purse/bag/suitcase places should have money pouches in them. That's where we got ours. I think it is a smart idea--put the majority in it, and still have your wallet in your front pocket, like these others guys mention, with enough money for the day. Better safe than sorry, esp. if you're carrying cash for your entire trip.
