When traveling anywhere, I have a general rule that has kept my stuff from being stolen. If it’s hard for you to reach it, it’s hard for anyone else to reach it. Granted, it could just be coincidence that no one has attempted to steal from me, but my friends have been robbed enough that I think I can give this advice with confidence.
I wear skinny jeans, or shorts that were once skinny jeans, so it’s actually uncomfortable to take anything out of my pockets, money and phone included. I also keep my passport holder, basically a wallet on a string that I bought at Walmart, looped over my neck and under my armpit, and also usually under a layer of clothing, unless I’m just sporting one layer.
I often carry a backpack with a laptop in it, along with valuables further in the bag, but I always try to pack it under a hoodie or sweater.
It can make you look stupid or clumsy when you’re retrieving money, electronics, or sweaters, but you also get to keep those items.
