Unlock the 31 Hidden Travel Safety Secrets That Could Save Your Life on Your Next Adventure
20. Carry a Decoy Wallet to Keep Muggers from Taking Your Real One
This is one of my favorite travel safety tips because it’s so easy.
Getting mugged is a terrifying experience. Someone desperate enough to stop you and demand that you give them your valuables is dangerous and should not be provoked. But it’s very likely that once they have what they want, they’ll leave you alone quickly to avoid being caught.
Carry a decoy wallet with a little bit of cash in it. It’s a helpful way to get out of that awful situation safely. If you’re unlucky enough to get mugged, hand the mugger your decoy wallet, and get out of there as quickly as possible. They’ll think they’ve taken everything you had on your person, and you are more likely to stay safe and unharmed.
