I assume you probably wouldn't carry it around with you, like to the beach, and probably just use your daysack... if your hostel doesn't have lockers what do you do? Lock it to the bed??? What do you guys do? P.S. I'll be a solo traveller. Thanks!

But for the most part, you just leave it in your room. Honestly, backpacks are bit overrated, if I were to do another extended trip (that did not include back country work), I would opt for a convertable pack ([url=http://www.eaglecreek.com/bags_luggage/adventure_travel_packs/Sw itchb ack-MAX-ES-22-20177/]http://www.eaglecreek.com/bags_luggage/adventure_ travel_packs/Switchb ack-MAX-ES-22-20177/[/url]) A bag that can be worn like a backpack but also wheeled around like luggage.
