I don't think you should be travelling with the 24 word recovery phrase.

That one should be encrypted, backed up, and stored in a safe place



Symmetrically encrypt it and tell the border guard it’s your moms laptop password


Brain Wallet? You could easily memorize the 24 words.


If so, don't use anything from literature or too easy to remember, see https://www.coindesk.com/brainwallet-bitcoin-wallet-shouldnt...

I guess for the purpose of travel, and you really need to, you can always use symmetric encryption to encrypt your seeds with a strong passphrase, then travel with that.


You can memorise it, that's still safe
