A7: My list is kind of long...camera, phone, chargers, jacket. So far nothing critical to the trip and normally things are lost in transit to different places. #GenXTravel https://t.co/bxJgKBkjwB

A8: I've been scammed by taxi drivers a couple times that I can remember--one I caught in time, one was a bit of a loss. #GenXTravel

Woah, that's pretty major too--camera! phone! Hopefully they weren't too hard/expensive to replace. #GenXTravel https://t.co/KQu8i8dK1d

replying to @VoyagerVicki @VoyagerVicki #GenXTravel A9: I had a phone stolen in Ghana. No biggie; it was a cheap phone I carried for that very reason, just in case, so all I did was go out the next day and buy a new one.

A9: I lost small amounts of money from pickpockets early in my international travels, but the crushing loss: I had my small backpack with gifts I'd bought from my travels and...my travel journal of several months!...stolen from a hostel in Bratislava. #GenXTravel

replying to @GenXTraveler @GenXTraveler @MouseMomKris I'd feel more comfortable spending the night in an airport than a train station (though I guess it might depend on the situation). #GenXTravel
