Hi all,

Well I am FINALLY heading off in just a couple of weeks now for my first serious travelling adventure

My question is - in hostels where you can't fit your pack into a locker, or they don't have lockers, what do you do with your pack? Is it 'safe' to leave it next to you during the night?
I don't want to get a pacsafe as I know I'll be too lazy to use it, and never use it again after the trip. But I was thinking of some kind of small cable lock to attach my bag to the furniture in the room! Obviously I won't leave valuables unattended in the bag, but stories of people losing their whole pack freak me out!!

Any advice from the more seasoned TP's??
