More and more people choose to travel as a backpacker , an ideal option since you will not have to carry large luggage and you will be able to move more comfortably from one place to another. A backpack with just enough for a few days and always looking for the cheapest accommodations, which are usually hostels, and the means of transport that are also like the bus or the train.
It is a very beneficial practice but it also requires extreme security precautions to avoid theft or any bad drink. You have to be very careful, especially if you travel with valuables such as a laptop, a camera, a lot of money, etc. Many people see backpackers as an easy target for robberies since they always carry all their belongings with them, but if you are careful you will not have a problem. Take note of these backpacker safety tips :
Four essential tips
– Use locks on your backpack , especially in departments where you carry valuables. It can be a bit tedious having to be opening and closing every time you want to use it but the truth is that it compensates you since you will make sure you have everything safe. You don’t have to put them in the little ones if you don’t have valuables there.
– Bring an interior fanny pack to store all the money, it is not recommended that you carry it in your backpack, and if you do, always keep it in an interior pocket so that access is not easy. Destine the inner pockets for money and important documents such as ID, passport or tickets for transport.
– Do not use expensive electronic devices such as music players, modern telephones or computers in open spaces. The best thing is that you do not take them since you take away a worry, but if you are still going to take it, use it in discreet places. The best thing is that the laptop also goes in the backpack and not in a separate one since it will be another element to worry about.
– When you take something out of the backpack, always keep an eye on it if you leave it open and make sure it is not for a long time. Open and close it every time you use it, it is somewhat uncomfortable but you will make sure that nothing is stolen from you, that many times we think that having it next to it nothing happens but there is a lot of "artist" out there.
