Safety

Neck Stash Security Wallet

This kind of wallet is great to have. It can hold valuable documents such as your passport, credit cards, and ID. The wallet is worn around the neck, then hidden underneath your clothing. This can deter possible thieves, as it makes it more difficult to get to your valuables.

Waist Stash Money Belt

This is another, more secure option for a wallet. It can be a good place to store cash and tends to be more accessible than the neck stash wallet. This is worn around the waist, and under the clothing. Again, this makes it harder for pickpockets to get to your belongings.

Anti-theft Purse

This purse is just awesome. With features like a slash-proof strap, locking zippers, and RFID-blocking credit card slots, this arguably one of the best purses to travel with. It’s worn cross-body, which makes it easier to be aware of your purse. It also comes it a lot of different colors! (I have the green one :))

Health

Mosquito-Repelling Shirts

 Central America is a region where mosquito-borne illnesses are prevalent. It is very important that you take precautions to avoid getting bitten while in Guatemala. Purchasing clothing with mosquito-repelling technology is a good way to stay bite-free.

Mosquito-Repelling Bracelets

These bracelets are another great (and cheap!) option for your travels. They are both DEET-free and waterproof. While not the strongest defense against mosquitoes in Guatemala, it can’t hurt to load up on these.

Packing

Packing Cubes

Packing cubes are an AMAZING way to stay organized when traveling. First, you won’t need to pull everything out of your suitcase to find that one favorite shirt. Simply pull out the cube with all the shirts and find it inside! Second, they can be a real space-saver inside your luggage. This leaves more room to pack goodies to bring for the church in Guatemala.
