Most hostels (at least good ones) have lockers in them that you can put your bags in (they are usually pretty big lockers). As for myself, I just locked my backpack and left it on/under my bed and kept my valuables in the locker. You will find as soon as you arrive that people are doing much of the same... but only be willing to leave out what you are willing to have (potentially) stolen.

I´m currently sitting in Barcelona and I definitely have a Canadian flag on my pack. I would agree that you get made fun of (occasionally), but it is also a great conversation starters... other Canadians just walk up to you in the streets. So far throughout my trip I would say my flag has come in handy at least twice, once to get a ride to my hostel on a golf cart (the man yelled Canada! Canada! and then offered me a ride) and the second time a street vendor gave me a nice discout because I was Candian (though I´m sure haggling would of got me the same discount). I´d definitely wear one again, but they are kind of tacky.

I can understand the reasoning behind having a moneybelt, and that is why I took one on my trip. However, I left it in my locker at the hostels the whole time and never had a problem. I would definitely still take one though in case leaving it at the hostel is not an option, or something people are comfortable with.
