TRAVEL SAFETY

"If we do not find anything pleasant, at least we will find something new."
--Voltaire, Candide

In our experience, traveling is safer than staying home. Violent crimes are rare in most countries. Always check the U.S. State Department for travel advisories, though -- especially if you are traveling to really out-of-the way places. The concern in most countries is the theft of personal belongings. Using our security supplies should cut your risk of theft dramatically. The top of the page contains our various locks and alarms, then passport and document carriers, and Pacsafe travel security products are at the end.

It's a personal alarm, a door and window alarm, and will even protect your luggage.

Designed to clip to belt, purse, or clothing, we recommend carrying it when wandering about -- just in case. The alarm can also be rigged to your pack or suitcase so the pin is pulled and the alarm screams when your luggage is moved. Even better, the Security Plus Personal Travel Alarm comes with a clip that attaches to any door or window, and triggers the alarm if the door or window is opened. (You should buy it even if you're an armchair traveler!) Uses one 9V battery; not included. Very small and lightweight: 3 x 2 1/4 x 1 inches; 3 ounces without battery.

Travel Smoke Detector, Personal Alarm, and LED Flashlight in one.

FlareSafe is an indispensable three-in-one travel safety product that has been widely praised by travel experts. (When was the last time you saw a smoke detector in Turkey ... or Morocco ... Nepal ... Honduras ...) Time magazine recently reviewed FlareSafe (July 2007). Its verdict: "For extra security, pack a FlareSafe ... [it] could save your life".

FlareSafe combines three safety features in one compact unit:

If smoke is detected by its infrared optics, a 110-decibel alarm siren (which can be heard up to 500 meters away and which lasts for more than 60 hours) sounds and the flashlight activates. The purpose behind FlareSafe is a serious one – to save lives. After the Childers hostel fire in Australia in June 2000 in which 15 backpackers died, the developers started thinking about what travelers could take with them to avoid a similar catastrophe. FlareSafe is constructed of tough military-grade plastics, with batteries included. Compact (15cm by 4.5cm) and lightweight. (Eight ounces / 230 grams.)

In our experience, more travelers get stuff stolen from their packs or suitcases than get their packs or suitcases stolen.
