When I get to Europe I'll be travelling for most of the time by my self. I am male, but quite vulnerable as I weigh in at just less than 60 Kg, don't look very scary, and if it came down to it I don't think I would have much chance fending somebody off if it came to it.
All of my gear is shiny new so I'm going to be picked as a newbie backpacker in no time, does anybody have any tips/tricks to make me look less vulnerable?
I figure:
Look confident and as if you have been a backpacker all your life.
Don't flash around your camera/mp3 player/etc.
Also if I can afford a private room apposed to a dorm would you recommend I do that?
The reason I am a little worried is because I got a lot of stuff stolen when I went to Sydney a few years ago right under my nose while I was asleep in a dorm.
Thanks
