Getting to the coffee shop like a SPY

Chances are, no one’s actually watching you — but in a world full of cameras, phones, and digital breadcrumbs, it’s smart to know how to move with a little more privacy.

It’s about blending in, being unpredictable, and keeping your personal movements personal — all without looking over your shoulder every five seconds. Staying aware doesn’t mean being paranoid — it just means being prepared (and maybe a little cooler than the average pedestrian).
