How To Travel Like A Seasoned Pro - Business Insider

"Since I scarcely look Italian, the only explanation I could think of was that I had kept my notebook, guidebooks and camera in a carrier bag I picked up from a local supermarket.

"Had I been carrying a day pack, or wearing a money belt, I?m sure I would have been treated differently."
