NOTE! I no longer use LastPass They had a series of security breaches in late 2022 that were never properly addressed I have moved to 1Password and it's even easier to use and reports indicate it is more secure brb*/b Store your ID and protect your Passwords with 1Password: 1passwordcom brb*/b Protect your Identity with NordVPN! gonordvpnnet/SH4iK

This was great, thank you! Can you advise for any items for a guy to carry, how to carry, and when to use it and such? I am looking at traveling to countries with a bit more risk than I am used it
Comment from : @user-ok8ml4lr4l

Don't get in the taxi if they don't want to use the meter Because there is a chance you would be paying more than average cost

Comment from : @maznunezfantie5905

Decoy wallets are a great plan I carry one when I travel(still have it) and pictures of I D and passport is a good idea Be aware, be safe And have fun!
Comment from : @willmarona-jn9wc

Just wanted to mention, sometimes you can't Help but look like a tourist American in Asia? Yaah you're not going to look like a local Frankly, in a Lot of the world (I don't look like a parisians sadly, no matter how I try lol)brJust don't carry yourself like a victim Normal city rulesbrLove the videos! , I just read a lot of paranoid traveler posts and wanted to say to these readers you'll be OK if you check a map :)
Comment from : @awoodby

This was SUPERB!! And I'm a street smart city girl All those things you mentioned that I already dodidn't know they were a thing! 😮
Comment from : @christines1924

My thing is when traveling why not get the best first class vip privilege after all its a vacation/ stress relief
Comment from : @coziii1829

Who stays at hotels brbrRent a villa or bed and breakfast
Comment from : @coziii1829

It’s not a vacation if we are stressed out worrying about all that overrated stuff

Thanks Captain Obvious

Oh, I love convertible pants they are awesome
Comment from : @EricOnYouTube

Thanks for all your great videos Love the tips, especially the one about the paper copy of passport and insurance
Comment from : @annthompson1

Here is another tip: the bathroom of the hotels are usually cleaned during the 8-12 noon each day and I put my passport is a plastic bag and put it in the toilet paper container below the plastic cover and put bunch of toilet paper on it LOL
Comment from : @alannobakht8503

Love your tips, though I had slightly different experiences with regards to looking like an obvious tourist trying to navigate with huge paper maps ( this was years ago before smart phones and googlemaps) Happened in South Korea and Taiwan, both places I had locals approaching me asking if I need help when I was, rather embarrassingly, looking rather lost 😅 This obviously won't be the case in all countries, just thought I'll share my experiences in the 2 particularly friendly countries 😊
Comment from : @ketunlimited

Convertible pants are great for hiking/camping I wouldn't wear them in a city
Comment from : @nnyl3013

Love your energy It’d be fun traveling with you…I know I’d have a fun time and not overpack😂💥
Comment from : @patlsmith404

👏👏👏👏
Comment from : @dovidell

I travel internationally with convertible pants Coming from a winter weather to a tropical weather, convertible pants is a must
Comment from : @osmewilkins

The dumbest advice I've ever heard So, if I don't look at maps in Bali or Angola, I will immediately blend in with the locals (being a 6'2" white guy) By the way, this list of advice items is older than you Could you try updating it when you get a chance to get up from your couch (btw Regret boosting your monetization with this comment)
Comment from : @stooneblue

You should do just a video about cell phone security I was in a taxi in Casablanca Morocco and we were in gridlock The driver told me close the window, it was avery hot day, so I asked him why He said that “men” walk between the cars in the gridlock, and would snatch my cell phone right from my lap My wife and I are very security conscious about our cell phones and it drives me crazy when I see people with their cell phones in their hand Standing on a street corner, staring at just begging to be snatched

The locals knows everybody,, they know who is tourist 🤣🤣🤣
Comment from : @claribelmena4569

What travel insurance you are talking about? Is it purchased separately for the time of travel or it's part of existing car insurance?
Comment from : @StagArmslower

If you’re European, get a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) It’s free and when you have to go to the hospital in another European country, getting checked in to the hospital becomes so much easier
Comment from : @EdwinMartin

Take a picture of your hotel, so you can show it to your taxi driver for whoever’s driving
Comment from : @Michael-Hunt

I'm with you on the pants! Ugly and uncomfortable and heavy!😊
Comment from : @bigreddallas2742

Do you have a recommendation for a hotel motion sensor alarm that is loud enough to scare someone away?
Comment from : @bethmccall9254

Instead of emailing your information to yourself just keep it in your drafts folder
Comment from : @TheSwimmom1

You remind me of a Canadian actor named Leslie Hope Just saw her on an old episode of The Mentalist Sorry for this off topic information
Comment from : @Marant1000

Well, that was aa let-down yeah passport --- Surprised not a single mention of TRAVEL INSURANCE, at least MEDICAL travel insurance
Comment from : @alltogethernow121

No more pickpocketer Can we carry knives with us?
Comment from : @josiekage3550

I was worried about not having a VPN while travelling after watching videos like this and so asked my IT savvy son and apparently these days it’s totally unnecessary and scaremongering from VPN companies 🤔brThis video explains it very wellbr youtube/WVDQEoe6ZWY
Comment from : @megand175

Looks like these days, most people using paper maps in public are pickpockets, not tourists
Comment from : @Sarah_Eva

Sorry, I love convertible pants Does you luggage weight 10 lbs?

I’m traveling within the USA, & do not have time to get a passport or money to have it Expedited so have to rely on my birth certificate
Comment from : @angellamiller12

Your deceptive clickbait title and thumbnail force me to "travel" to other tips channels in the future Your clickbait proves you think your viewers are all idiots Bye
Comment from : @alexthai4957

Copying your passport is ok but do NOT think it can be used for anything Lost my passport last summer and had a copy When I went to the consulate to get an emergency one and told them I had a copy they said just give me your name and date of birth Never even looked at it Always carry some ID as I had an emergency and the ER wanted my passport or a Drivers License so you can pay
Comment from : @amybradley5821

I was glad to hear that you Have a LASTPASS ACCOUNT I do as well, and like you, I think it is fantastic and very secure Very good tips by the way

I love the subtle xenophobia in these tips “I’m American and therefore everyone not American is DANGEROUS!” 🙄

This is so good 👌 Thanks
Comment from : @teresacasten197

Always big* tip to housekeeping on first day Not security tip, but great tip esp in 5* hotels
Comment from : @jacks6632

Never use hotel safe unless 5* hotel as their cameras work, if not, you get to sue the hotel!
Comment from : @jacks6632

Don’t keep id and passport in same area
Comment from : @jacks6632

Meh, Decoy wallet is not great, anyone about to steal your wallet has already seen u use your wallet
Comment from : @jacks6632

If I need help with directions I ask a busy women carrying a briefcase and dressed sharp It works for me

Nora, I have watched quite a few videos on travel tips Your presentations are by far the most helpful Thanks
Comment from : @laoguoba

I carry a fake wallet with a small amount of cash, I have shared taxis in China no problem in South Korea they tell you the charge before the trip and refuse tips
Comment from : @lestermount3287

Spain and Italy their main employment is picking pockets and their rationalization is you are a rich tourist and can afford it
Comment from : @lestermount3287

I travel to Mexico a lot and I always carry a decoy wallet These are great tips Ive been doing most of them I quit renting cars in Mexico to much of a hassle for me They make mucho dinero on dents/chipped windshields that were already there and the insurance scam heaven forbid if you get in any kind of accident That being said I love Mexico!!
Comment from : @iamjohn527

If you have your face in your black mirror, you will not see your attacker/abductor and not be able to do a damned thing
Comment from : @barriereid9244

Ms Nora, you give the best tips Thank you for every single one of them I am sure they are helping thousands of travelers every single day
Comment from : @blackie-jm9tr

07:00brbrI have Last Pass but I hear that had some security issues recently My understanding is your master password is still secure
Comment from : @harveyh3696

I love your style! Your tips are great AND you give clear details THANK YOU!
Comment from : @deborahhansen2983

Also, I have my passport and driver’s license info MEMORIZED as well as two personal credit card info and 800 #’s MEMORIZED in case of loss/theft or fast access for delayed/cancelled/missed flights - saves me the hassle of pulling out my mobile device or documents in crowded areas and/or faster processing on the phone if the flights were cancelled/delayed
Comment from : @hellahellahella2023

I've watched dozens of similar videos This is by far the BEST!!
Comment from : @zucicciu58

Except that in some countries you can get fined for notbcarrying your passport, and a police officer is not likely to follow along to your hotel, but will arrest you instead
Comment from : @wncjan

In some Caribbean countries (Trinidad for sure) it's normal to have other people in a taxi with you There are taxi stands where the cars are going to a specific destination and there is a set fare from point A to B Most taxi's won't leave until the car is full
Comment from : @ddrlbhski6438

Good stuff here I’m a professional traveler myself and I do most of these…brbrI’m also a survivor of convertible trousers :)brbrFive things I’d add:brbr1 Use a pre-paid debit card for purchases No biggie if it’s lost and you can keep it topped up brbr2 For a wallet, put a big rubber band round it and it’ll make it harder for a pickpocket to get it out of your pocket, because of the extra friction brbr3 For my travel clothes I’ve had a tailor fit additional zip pockets inside my original pocketsbrbr4 NEVER PUT YOUR WALLET IN YOUR BACK POCKETbrbr5 Never put important things in a rucksack unless you lock it Consider using a chest pouch, a sling or a Fanny pack (worn at the front!)
Comment from : @bob_the_bomb4508

Hi Nora - Great tips all the way around I have used the trick of carrying a small second wallet for many years containing a bit of cash plus an old canceled credit card This way the robber would think that I was not carrying more in another pocket At least that is the theory I cannot guarantee that it works as the ruse was never tested I had a kidnapping attempt on me in Lima, Peru years ago A long story, but suffice it to say that I got away before getting into the car with my "new" hosts In such situation, all I can say is never, never go with them The police chief of the district later outlined a few scenarios for me as to what could have happened had I gone along, none of them particularly attractive
Comment from : @larsmathiesen

hey Nora, you're good ! Really like the level of detail you're in I think much the same, but it's always great to see a new tip jv
Comment from : @jimvautour595

Great tips, even for every day life let alone travel I’m amazed how many people walk around, paying no attention to their surroundings at all

The tips that you provide are good Anytime or anyplace In the US, most parking lot or mall crimes happen to people who are not away of their surroundings

Comment from : @warrentrout

Fantastic information Everyone should use these proven methods The door stop is even useful at home just in case
Comment from : @RT-fb6ty

Love your tips I keep meaning to get a decoy, toss wallet, and put fake ID and a few dollar bills in it for my back pocket (real wallet in a discreet other pocket Last Pass lost my trust months ago, I switched to 1Password on yours and Ask Leo's recommendation I'm not a digital nomad, wrong generation, and retired, but I do travel Thanks to vloggers like you, I travel more safely, efficiently, and have less stress Thanks and keep up the good work

Nora, have you ever done a video on how NOT to dress like a tourist in, say Europe???
Comment from : @MiaHessMusic

Excellent tips!!!! I learned Tip 21 ages (50 years) ago! brMay I add Tip 22: I always carry extra cash (enough to get me back to my hotel by cab and a bit extra) in my shoes underenath the lining or in my sock on the bottom of my foot I also carry cash inside my bra lining if i'm wearing a sports bra brI learned these tricks when I lived in Hell's Kitchen in NYC when it was a super dicey place to live and I was coming home late after work I had really good tips (worked in a 4 star resutaurant) and I wanted them coming home with me!! brEven on my last few trips to NYC, I sitll did this!
Comment from : @MiaHessMusic

Don't look like a tourist? I like to travel in France and everyone speaks to me in English because I look like an American I'm taller and wider than most French men I'm from Quebec and I speak fluently French How can I not look like a tourist?
Comment from : @michelrail

If a pick pocket has an eye on me , Guess what I have an eye or two on his/her too How about you pick my pockets while I pick yours at the same time 🤣
Comment from : @ayocanada4309

Funny that you take Bangkok taxi footage as an example You can easily just note the number from the yellow number plate inside of the cars door
