- EvanAnderson 3y agoI read "post vacation photos while on vacation" as "signaling I'm not at home and a good target for burglary". I tend not to tell anybody that I've taken a trip until I've returned home.
- whoknew1122 3y agoPosting vacation photos to social media when you're actually on vacation is a bad idea. You're signaling to people you're not at your residence or job, which is bad security anyway. Save all the cute pictures to post when you get home.

Depending on the phone you plan to buy, you can also bring an hdmi adapter and a bluetooth portable keyboard and plug in your phone to your hotels tv if you need a full desktop. Then when you leave, make sure to wipe your devices, and leave them in country. For extra security, rent an EC2 instance (in the region you are traveling to), and use that with an SSH socks proxy or set up VPN software on it.
