Hi All,

I'm an American living in Ecuador and notice there are a lot of backpackers from all over the world who come here.

Unfortunately, within the last year there have also been a lot of robberies and sexual assaults of these same backpackers.

So I'm curious, what precautions you all would suggest taking while backpacking to remain safe?

Thanks.
