Safety tips when leaving luggage and papers behind

Upvote:2

I would suggest not be so paranoid about having your passport stolen. It's far more common to lose your passport than have it stolen, so keeping it in a safe pocket in your backpack should be good enough for most cases. You'll be more likely to forget your passport if you stick it under a table when leaving in a hurry. Sometimes a genuine Samaritan may find the passport, think it's lost, then turn it over to someone.

Try to minimize valuable items that you take with you when you're going backpacking. If you have to carry valuables such as a lot of cash (again, try to withdraw from cards instead, etc) then try to book hostels which offer a locker facility. Remember that many hostels require you to bring your own locks for the lockers.
