While travelling,you'll be taking money,your license or passport.Or you will buy something expensive to take back home with you and you don't want it to get stolen.Here are some ideas on how to keep your valuables(贵重物品)safe while travelling.
Plan ahead of time
Think of what you really need and don't need to take on your trip.Only take the valuables that you must have,not just ones that you would like to have.
Carry your valuables on your person
Something that is small,like cash and credit cards and your passport,can be carried in a money wallet around your neck or in a money belt.This way,your valuables are hidden right next to you,and you know where they are at all times.Wear clothing that can hide the money belt.
Carry larger valuables in your carryon bag
If you can't fit some large valuables in your money wallet,you'd better put them somewhere else and make sure that you will be able to keep in touch with them.You can put them on the plane,so you don't have to worry about the airline losing your bag or someone stealing it from the belt after the flight before you get to it.
Choose a hotel that has the front desk for valuables
This way,you don't have to worry about someone stealing your valuables if your room is broken into.If you give the valuables to the front desk to keep for you,choose a time when others are not looking.

I was traveling alone through the UK. To reach places that were off the public transportation map，I bought an old car, which cost most of my money. I couldn’t afford to stay in the hotel, so I had to camp in my car for the rest of the trip.
One morning I awoke in my old car on a country road in Ireland and saw a single house. The water in my thermos (保温瓶）had gone cold, so I knocked on the door of the house. A woman opened it. I asked her for some hot water. But she wouldn’t let me get away with just that! I was invited indoors. She asked me to sit at the table and have breakfast with her family. They filled my thermos before I left.
I was greatly moved. And I decided to pass the kindness on. The other day I met a young man who had been driving around to look for a parking lot. He looked increasingly upset. I was glad that I was able to point one out to him. His thankful smile was the hugest reward (奖赏）for me.
