Buy a cheap second phone for international travel. I got a decent unlocked android phone that could hold multiple SIM cards from China for 70 bucks before my last trip. Just buy a new prepaid card in each country, plug it in, and you're good to go. If someone steals it, whatever, you're out a few bucks. Bringing nice things to a third world country is practically asking for someone to steal your shit.

And to echo everyone else, get a money belt for sure. I prefer the around the calf type, they chafe less than the waist models and dint look silly like a lanyard. They don't fit everyone though, and tend to hold on better if you have well defined calves.

Really good pants that are pickpocket proof and anti thief. If u want some extra security and nice pants. Rock is getting some.

The only problem is that pants with zipper pockets sometimes jam. The zipper i mean. Its a pain if the zipper jams after washing the pants in laundry. Hopefully those are good quality pants.
