When I travel, I have a pouch I wear under my clothes with my passport, phone and a couple credit cards in it. That’s it. Anything else, including meds I take daily, can be replaced-medications would be had that day for cheap (fortunate to live in Europe, but I digress). Why the hell anyone stops for big personal items is beyond my comprehension except that we live in such a self-centred world.
Trust me, I’m kicking you out of my way if you stop for a fucking suitcase. My life is worth more than your stuff.
Unbelievable.
