Travelling while keeping crypto in a hot wallet on phone?

I am travelling abroad very soon, and will stay at a camp where they have their own wifi that I will be connected to most of the time, around a month that I will be staying there. If I keep crypto on a hot wallet, will it be safe likely? What if I get a VPN, will that make it any safer? I may need to connect to airport wifi as well, I am very nervous about what to do but I need it with me. I am absolutely certain that I need it with me to travel and I thought about bringing my cold wallet with me but it seems riskier taking it through customs and such with me the whole time to a new country. So can I trust their wifi, at a camp and is it likely they can somehow hack my hot wallet and steal my crypto? I am considering getting purevpn but am not sure if it would be helpful at all with this.

The VPN software you install is more likely to steal your keys than the wifi

Of course with vpn! Never connect to public WiFi’s without it. I use nordvpn.

Simply don’t keep your crypto in a hot wallet. Period
