11. • Don’t take unnecessary items with you
• Take preferably an older phone with you
but if you take an expensive one make sure you don’t show it often
• The same with photographic machines
• Stick together
walk in groups and always pay attention to your surroundings so you don’t get
surprises
• Don’t go into the favelas
(slums in Sao Paulo and Rio) without someone that knows the place
• The inhabitants (and housekeeping in hostels) are usually poor, so there is a
chance your belongings can be stolen in Hotel rooms (incl. clothes)
always leave everything locked inside your luggage (should have a lock)
