Your passport is your internationally accepted
identification, so anytime you want to travel/cross a border, to almost any country on
Earth, it's a good idea to have it with you. Without your passport, a lot of legal
issues can arise. In some countries, they will assume you are there illegally, and you
will be deported and/or detained. You are subject to the laws and the legal system of
the country you are visiting, so if you are arrested without papers for any reason, they
will not know you are a citizen of your home country, and will likely not notify your
embassy - which in some cases is your best hope of gaining your
freedom.
Losing your passport is at the least inconvenient
and expensive to replace, and at worst can lead to your
detention.
