I bought this bag (and another) for a trip to China. I'm glad I bought another option because this just would NOT be a good bag for travel!

The front pocket, where you are expected to keep your money, cards, sunglasses, etc. is held closed with magnets instead of snaps/zipper. It's not very secure and I wouldn't trust the pocket if I had much stuff in it. Not to mention it'd be very easy for pick pocketers!

The main part of the bag is also just held closed with a snap. Again, not very secure for valuables and if your bag gets tipped or anything there's a chance of things falling out.

There is only one zippered mesh pocket on the inside of the main compartment - not enough IMO for safekeeping!

The bag is VERY cute and a nice size though. I have used it on more 'casual' trips where I would be less concerned about losing things and it's worked fine. I love the berry color! Just don't expect to use it any where you want to keep things secure!
