I am a frequent traveler (mostly in Europe) and want to keep my personal information private, including my location. What are some techniques for doing this?
For example what are the most anonymous methods of transportation and accommodation which don't require any personal info or identification?
I do not like all of the mass surveillance which now exists, or the fact that at any given moment my bank, government, Google, and phone company know my location. I am a law abiding citizen but nevertheless have faced problems and threats. No good deed goes unpunished apparently. Being 'invisible' could prevent this.
I have heard of some people using passports from the dark web to keep their identity anonymous but am skeptical of how well they work. Is there any lower risk alternative to travel with true anonymity?

It depends how far you want to go.
If you ditch your phone and credit card you can travel pretty much anywhere in the european union by road while staying anonymous, legally.
https://www.interrail.eu if you only take trains without reservation needed might also be possible to keep your traveling in eu anonymous.
I wouldn't recommend using darkweb passports for travel unless you really need it (risky and you're in deep shit if you're caught), but it's probably ok for hotel reservation and such, in that case photoshopping a scan yourself should be alright.
