How we save money travelling with kids

One of the things my wife and I talk about often is how to save money travelling with kids.

We have been living away from Australia for close to 10 months as I write this and in this time we have visited six countries (including one stop over) in this time.

Most of the travel to other countries was done at the end of our time in Vietnam.

So at the end of this time we travelled to Cambodia, back to Ho Chi Minh City, China stopover on the way to Tokyo in Japan, back to Hanoi in Vietnam, through to Singapore and then back to Australia.

All of this time we had to be aware of how much we were spending because we were travelling with us, the kids and living out of hotels for a month.

So it is pretty easy to have a blow out of budget if you aren’t keeping an eye on it.

Anti-Theft Travel Bags, do you need to buy one to travel overseas?

Are you thinking about buying a few Anti-Theft Travel Bags before you leave for your next overseas adventure? Well I did, now we have a few that we bought before we left.

We had decided where we were travelling to and had started the research on our trip. Like many of the destinations we travel to you look at the possible dangers that can happen and this trip was no different.

The standard ones popped up like “Be aware of your belongings as there are pick pockets and bag slashers everywhere”, “Your bag will be ripped off your back crossing the road by people on motorbikes”, “They skim all of your Credit Card and Passport details just by brushing up against you on the bus” and more.

Of course after reading this you have to watch the Youtube videos of this happening and it makes you more paranoid about it whether it happens to you or not.

So I was on a mission after this to find a few solutions that would deter and make us less likely targets. I stumbled across a few articles about Anti-Theft Travel Bags and then I started to Google the different brands and types. There certainly are many different types and brands.

So read on to learn more about the benefits and features of getting yourself a Anti-Theft Travel Bag.
