I am trying to decide the safest way to handle valuables like my passport and extra cash while traveling. In the past, I had money taken from a hotel safe, so since then I have preferred to carry everything with me.
However, I am now planning a trip where I will be spending time at the beach, and it seems risky to leave valuables unattended while going for a swim. This has made me reconsider my approach.
I am curious how others manage this situation. Do you usually keep important items with you at all times, or trust the hotel room or safe, especially in places where you might be away from your belongings for a while?
