2. A Travelsafe bag from Pacsafe
Sure we all love those room safes the hotels provide but who really has those numbers? Here's a product that'll give you an extra layer of protection.
The Pacsafe Travel Safe 100 will keep your valuables safe in any hotel or hostel and will also serve as a secondary stash while on the move. It's basically a pouch with slash-proof steel mesh, a locking cinch cable at the top, and a padlock with a key. You just secure it to any fixed or hard-to-move item like a pole or large piece of furniture. Then it would take a pair of bolt-cutters to get at your things. So you could also use this to secure items on a bus or train while you are trying to snooze, resting easier than you would if your camera and iPod were just zipped up in your daypack.
