• 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)
