OPSEC For Travelers

Travel pulls you out of routine and into new exposure. Your footprint grows inside airports, cars, lobbies, and rooms that are not yours. The goal is to move like a quiet professional who leaves little for others to read. You do that by trimming signals, controlling habits, and building simple checks that hold under stress.

I once booked a room under my full name, posted a boarding pass in a group chat, and accepted a helpful ride from a driver who said my surname before I offered it. That chain felt harmless at the time and it linked my identity, my route, and my location in an easy arc. The fix began with a small rule that I keep to this day. I now plan with OPSEC For Travelers as the frame for every choice I make on the road.

Assume every trip exposes your patterns. Cut the patterns to starve the read. Small quiet choices beat big dramatic moves.
