I travel alone and feel safe taking $5000 in cash - I use the hotel safe and like the rooster know that travel insurance will cover me . I also take a Visa CC & an Access card - I use the Visa in several places and have had no problem . I guess if i were staying in homestays etc I would rethink my plan but have never had a problem with hotel safes.
