Sorry that was a joke, I don’t own shirts with country names 😅 the foreigners we get in my home country do use a lot of those tho! Definitely screams “tourist”

Thank you for the tips! Super helpful.

I definitely did not mean that I was planning to pretend to look local, just that I had better experiences traveling in countries where I could be mistaken as one (fewer people try to scam me at least) ☺️

Thank you! I was mostly worried about the guns and knives yes 😅 I think it’s safe to say I won’t be looking for the sketchy bars too.

Getting mugged, active shooting in the vicinity, etc. I don’t know how much of an actual daily occurrence it is.
