Never store all your documents in one place. Make sure you have extra money/a second card some where else. Make sure you keep your passport and at least one different piece of identification separate.

Why do these articles always(!) start with something like +50 in score? And then goes down to at least -100? BP, are you starting with a number higher than zero? 😏 In that case, why not start with a score of +300, so you at least will end up on the plus-side of the scoreboard? ➕🔢

The best way to avoid being robbed when travelling is to look like a local. Do the locals wear hidden bags with their cash pressed against their bodies? No, they walk around with a handbag like a normal person. Behave like a normal person.

I recommend checking your reaction to Epsom salts before using while travelling. My skin becomes unbearably itchy after using Epsom salts. Most people don't have this reaction but it would definitely be a downer for your holiday if you find out the hard way!
