Obtain a quantity of cash in your current and expected foreign jurisdictions.

Wear dark colored, non-descript clothing that doesn’t draw attention to yourself.

If you have tattoos conceal them as best you can.

Wear a minimal amount of jewelry.

Wear a wristwatch.

Your mobile phone battery may run flat and you may need to know the time need to make a travel connection.

Carry a backpack for passports and documentation. It’s light and user friendly.

Take carry on. People without luggage raise a red flag with authorities. Leave heavy luggage behind in storage with the hotel or similar. Ship your suitcase if need be.

Pay your debts. This reduces the risk of legacy problems and reports to the authorities, which can disrupt your travel plans.
