I knew a woman with three passports, US, UK and Dutch. She only ever travelled on her US passport because only the US has the resources to help out single private travellers in shitty areas when something goes wrong. They're not going to help everyone, but they're going to help a lot more than the other govs.

But her US passport also makes her a bigger target.

I would've thought the British passport would've offered the best tradeoff. Large enough to do something, small enough to escape notice.

She had a British accent, and self-identified as Dutch. I imagine the accent would be the primary thing that people would have pigeonholed her by.

I have two, US and IE. The US passport is only used at the US border (per law). Not many countries have a problem with the Irish.
