A local in Medellin told me my work setup was making me a target
I was working at a cafe in El Poblado with my MacBook and AirPods out, like I always do. A guy who runs a hostel nearby pulled me aside and said, 'Bro, you look like a walking ATM, put that stuff away.' He explained that even in nice areas, flashing expensive gear marks you. Now I use a basic laptop case and wired earbuds, and I feel way less stressed. Anyone else had to change their gear habits after local advice?
