Travel Safety

 theft

Always be a bit distrustful. Don't go along with strangers who want to show you their city. You will end up having to spend all your money on bad and useless items in a small store somewhere in a dark alley. Don't lend your money to travellers you don't know. The next day they might have disappeared and your money will be gone.

 safety measures

Always carry your documents in a small bag, close to your body. It is best if nobody can see them from the outside. Alternatively you can wear a bum bag. Do not put any important things in the small pockets on the outside of your backpack. Everything that is important should be deep inside of your backpack. If you are in a hostel or on a camping place and want to shower, just put all your important things in a plastic bag and take them with you. They won't become wet and it is safe.
