Sure, it punctures any idealized notions you may have about the strangers you meet while traveling, but the truth is not everyone you meet will be trustworthy.
This doesnโt mean you distrust every person that you meet. Rather, wait until someone earns your trust before throwing in your lot with them.

Send a text message to your family or friends telling them where youโre going and who youโre with. Make sure someone back home has a copy of your itinerary and set-up a regular schedule of when youโll update them.

By all means, go out to bars and party. But be mindful of how much youโre drinking, especially if youโre drinking with people youโve just met.
The drunker you are, the less aware you are of whatโs happening.

Avoid bringing your cards or large amounts of money out when traveling.
When going out of your hotel or hostel, you donโt need to bring all your money or cards with you. Estimate how much you'll need for the day and bring a little extra for emergencies.

Even if you arenโt actually feeling confident, itโs best that you learn how to look like you are. Looking like you donโt know what youโre doing draws untrustworthy people towards you.

Photocopy or take photos of important documents like your passport and credit cards. Make sure that you have a hard and soft copy to that in event you lose them, or need them for help, you'll have what you need.
