I mean, is it any different traveling abroad as a dual citizen between two nations (carrying both passports with you) or does it remain the same as traveling with only a single passport? Are there also complications of possessing two citizenships during times of crisis? (Like who takes charge when something occurs from war, natrual disaster, kidnapping & ransom, etc.).

The idea of being a citizen of two countries sounds good but can come with caveats when you take into account of diplomatic reciprocity or foreign relations, whether both countries are friends or enemies. Some countries forbid dual citizenship (like Japan or UAE) while there are countries that allow it (such as UK or USA).

    As long as you enter or leave on the right passport you should be ok.

    Most countries have laws that mean you must enter or leave on their passport or you can be punished for false identity papers.

      Yup, the rules have just been changed in the UK and people are getting stuck abroad because they forgot their UK passport for the way back.

        It’s so annoying, if I want to go to the UK again I need to get a UK passport because I am citizen by decent. While my wife can go on her native passport.
