The Blog

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up...the blog is now going strong and official. Originally it was going to be a bit of an experiment and a forerunner to one on real estate I was going to do.

I'm getting such a good response off it I've decided to keep it going permanently. Initially I thought it might detract from what we talk about here and I didn't want to reinvent the wheel but the stuff in the blog, for whatever reason, ends up being different than here.

(some of the blog posts may end up being treated more in depth here. Blogs should be relatively short I'm told so if you see a topic on there you'd like to expand upon here let me know and we'll rip it apart)

For example today's entry touches on a tip from my bodyguarding days and hotel security...that could easily be a full on post on that subject here if you so desire.

The blog can be found at http://www.charlotteselfdefense.blogspot.com/

Nick,good work and really well presented.
I own a small Hotel and even we take care of the values of the customers i know some shaggy places where one has to sleep with an open eye
You don't have to go to Morocco to find that places,in LA (or was NY?) Jack Nicolson was stolen (a CD player among other stuff) in a luxurious Hotel.
A few years ago i had to fire a cleaner because a couple of customers had complained of "lost" small items.
My advice is to make friends of the staff (i always give advice to the tourist concerning pickpocketing,etc),use different places to carry your money/credit cards (one of that velcro things on your waist or hanging inside your neck) and the use of a rubber door wedge

Great content, and well written too. Good stuff Nick!

I try not to post answers like I'm about to, becuase it makes me look like a brown nose,

but the wedge on hotels doors is so simple its brilliant, I've stayed in some right sh*tholes around the world but never thought to do this.

good one

Mike
