What 7 Things Do You Always Pack When You Travel?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Oh how I have been mocked for it but I'd lose my marbles without it.
You never have any problems getting your bumbag full of marbles through customs?

Nope. Big difference between a Bum Bag and a Money Belt.

There's another choice: the money pouch, which can hang around your neck as well as go around your waist.

2. safari jacket (pockets and more pockets), plus hiking shorts/cargo pants for even more pockets

3. combination notebook/namecard holder w/pen

4. phone with 1500+ tunes (Aerosmith to ZZ Top), plus external battery pack

5. money clip full of "small money" (avoid taking out wallet)

6. kettle, ground coffee, cup and caphe phin filtre, and a roll of paper towels (for spills and tidying up)

7. tweezers

The one I use:Pacsafe coversafe secure waist wallet features a slash proof wire reinforced belt concealed buckle and removable water resistant pocket. Some of these belts also have RFID blockers as well. I have a small RFID blocker pouch which fits inside.
