There is one travel experience I will never forget…and it involves being robbed of $200 by a group of 10 year old girls on the streets of Nice, France.
It’s one of those things I’ll never forget for 3 reasons:
- At the time, I considered myself a fairly experienced tourist having flown to far flung places since the age of five.
- The sneaky & crafty way in which they did it still astounds me - but knowing their trick has saved me (and some friends) on more than once occasion from succumbing to the same fate.
- The fact that I was robbed by 10 year old children is still just a tad embarrassing.
Having survived cities such as New York, London, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Bangkok, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh and Sydney, and a fair few other places such as Belize City, Mexico, Guatemala, Budapest, and Prague (back when it was far less touristy), I’ve learned how to keep myself relatively *safe* but you can never be too careful.
There are just certain things you do and certain things you don’t do as a foreigner in a foreign land trying to keep you and your belongings secure…

I’ve noticed recently on this blog that as it’s grown, it’s attracted really rather a wonderful set of readers and commenters… Read the rest of this entry
There’s Gonna Be Some Changes Round Here…
