Yo
One of my main concerns before setting off for a month or so around Europe (spending most of my time in Spain, Portual, and Rome), is the wole pick pocket/mugging thing.
I have done plenty of reading of others stories and everyone says "be careful" etc.
I have done a bit of traveling but this upcomming trip is def. the most hard core one yet, and the first one in which i will be spending my time in hostels (never been in a hostel before.)
I know some hostels have lockers, but how do they work? I do not want to bring everything with me wherever i go, i am just going to walk around the city. Like my passport, debit card, etc. Just mebbe my ISIC card (so if i die people will know who i am) and some money.
If the hostels do not have lockers, is it safe to have stuff lying around or should i get a few pad locks and keep them on the bag if they are lying about the room?
Also, if the hostels do not have lockers, i hear that most train stations have storage lockers. Any experiences with those?
oh, hi, im new here too
any help would rock!
