How to Travel Safely in Dangerous Countries

5. Carry “Thief’s Money”
As sad as it may sound, carrying money “to be robbed” is a common practice in dangerous areas of the world. Thieves normally just want to take your money and go away, but if you don’t have any, they might get agitated and hurt you.
Instead of carrying all your money in one place, spread it around your pockets (and shoes, bags, etc.) and leave just a small amount in your wallet (with expired credit cards, if you have any). In that way, if you get robbed, you’ll just lose a bit of cash.
