[QUOTE=Knowledge;2761695]If you are aware of the risk it's not very difficult to protect yourself from someone who may try to slip you a mickey. I think you have to be extra careful if you are in unfamiliar territory like a hotel room or an airbnb. It's worth noting that relatively few of these cases involve guys in their own homes. The perpetrators target tourists because they know they will have the advantage of surprise and be able to get away with it more easily .[/QUOTE]Since it will be my first trip to Medellin and travelling solo I will definitely have my guard up even tho I am mid 30's Hispanic and muscular. Will not be dressing nice like I usually would anywhere else when I go out. I don't think I could get away with dressing nice like I do when I visit Tijuana, even there I usually noticed people looking at my new shoes, new clothes, airpods, shades etc. I feel that if I do that in Medellin I could potentially make myself a easy target so perhaps it would be wise to just blend in and dress plain. I think even leaving something as little as a apple watch in your room would be a good idea. I can imagine if I wasn't Hispanic and fluent in Spanish travelling alone there would be even more risky. But yeah I'm not taking any chances, definitely will be watching my drinks too.
