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.
