The internet is great, I mean, we have SO much information at our fingertips right? I've found that to have it's downside as well. Sometimes so much can be too much especially if you have to sort through a ton of crap just to find what you're looking for (one of the main reasons for me starting this blog). Here are some of the links that I've actually found helpful and why.
1. Corporate Travel Safety
Don't let the name fool you because this site has excellent travel gear period (not just safety stuff). A couple of things that I plan on buying from here are:
o The 15 Travel Language Translator
*I'm trying to learn Spanish via Rosette Stone but you gotta have a fall back plan right?
o Zipper Locks
*From what I've been able to research pickpockets and the like often just come up behind you, unzip a compartment on your pack and then grab what they can. These look very minimal and would make that virtually impossible without significant effort and impossible without you noticing (if you're wearing your pack).
2. Pac Safe
o Pacsafe 140L Backpack Protector
*I've also read several places that it's common practice for thieves to slash your bad/bag strap and just take off with it. I saw on someones blog that they were packing some sort of mesh thing to keep this from happening but the closest thing that I've been able to find was this which looks like more of a way to secure your pack while it's not on your back.
3. Zen Backpack Security
*This site goes a little more in-depth about things that you can actually do for security.
