Hello guys,

So I am traveling to Asia soon, I want to visit a couple of countries in the next few months and live there, however my biggest worry is ofc safety.

For those with experience, please give advice.

I have backed up and secured everything back home and stored it in a really really safe space that no one can find or access except me. However, I heard that it is dangerous to connect on an Internet that is not on your name. I will be staying in an apartment complex, but they offer the Internet from what I read. Same goes with phone, I heard that it can get hacked and 2fa could get accessed if connected on a network that is hacked.

In general give some advice, I would appreciate  that.

Simple, make sure to create a new wallet, you can use one of those online wallets if you like, use 2 factor authentication and send only the amount of bitcoin you plan to use on your trip this way if for some reason you get hacked you'll only lose a small amount of money, password protect your computer and if possible encrypt it, do not access your bitcoin through WiFi, connect your computer to a cable if possible, if this isn't an option, you could pay for an hour in a cybercafe and plug your computer there, or you could bring an usb with a safe OS you can use everywhere.
