the generic advice is “leave your passport locked at the hotel so you dont get it stolen by pickpockets”
but also “never not have your passport on you because the local government wants to check it at any time”
how do you all reconcile that on a day to day basis?
Jeez. That is the reason why it is a good idea. Go out, and learn how similar or different other places are. Do you want to always experience the same old, same old? Yeah it causes an inconvenience sometimes, and good times at others.
That's why travelling is good?

there are a lot of developed nations out there now, I dont know where your frame of reference is from, but some of those developed nations are very far ahead of superpowers in a variety of ways that could be beneficial to you
