Carryin’ around Town

When I’m in town and have a hostel to crash at, I make sure that I only carry the bare minimum — only my essentials.  Any important documents or credit cards, etc., are kept either in my locker at the hostel or the hostel’s safe.  I make it a point not to look like a target.

You should only ever carry the amount of cash on hand that you’ll need, never carry your debit or credit card with you.  Have your ID and a paper copy of your passport with you, but never the real thing.  I also carry a paper copy of my insurance card.  I make sure to put all of these things in a zippered or hidden pocket so thieves don’t have anything to snatch from me.

If you make yourself useless as a target, they won’t go after you.
