yes i do agree with this one, as Keeping low profile is very important for a traveller, and this would also be my best advice to all travellers whether it is domestic of international travel.

We go abroad and hardly resists ourselves in going out to the local market.
Never wear expensive-looking jewellery. Carry only the cash and travellers
cheques you need while away from your hotel. Carry wallets in front pockets or
keep pockets securely fastened, with a pin or velcro if necessary. Wear
handbags with the opening next the your body.

I was once robbed by an autorckshaw driver when i gave him a 100 rupees bill for the 40 rupees fare And to my surprise he immediately turned back and said Madam you have given me 10 rupees bill.
I was shocked as i never had 10 rupees bill that day! It happened all because i was talking to my mom in my native language and the driver could easily make out that i was from other region and i m a tourist! I could not do anything because the exchange of cash doesn't have any proof and i could hardly argue as I was scared of the locals there and it was getting dark!
So whenever you hand over cash to people..Be very attentive.
I was once robbed while making my way into an ATM. So avoid ATMs which are not well-lit and secure and quickly put cash out of sight, and be aware of “distraction thefts” by criminals working in twos or threes.

International trips require a few more precautions because
travellers are unfamiliar with language, surroundings and customs. It’s easy to
get lost, or at least distracted, as you’re trying to find your way.
Unfortunately, this behaviour attracts the attention of pickpockets and other
criminals. Travellers can minimize their risks by carrying only a small amount
of cash, Cash is muggable money. What’s more, just like a poorly-lit ATM at
night is not a safe place to get cash in

I always am susceptible about traveling abroad. So I take precautions before
doing so. Leave copies of passport, travel documents and travellers cheques
serial numbers in case of a problem at home with someone you trust. Don’t bring
expensive jewellery which isn’t needed.

Some points in addition to the above idea will be to take along only the charge cards you really need; a driver’s license with photo for identification; and “in case of emergency” card with medical information; extra prescriptions and eyeglasses; travellers cheques in several denominations; and a small amount of the appropriate foreign currency.

Keep all valuables in the hotel’s main safe deposit box. Don’t display the sign
requesting room cleaning service; it identifies the room as unoccupied. Don’t
let strangers overhear your sightseeing plans or other schedules. This is
important to make the trip pleasant and exciting.
