    My last trip was to a foreign country, 2nd world country. I brought enough clothes for half the trip, and did laundry in the sink with locally sourced soap. Hung them in the room to dry 🤷‍♂️

    Hotel laundry was prohibitively expensive, though I suppose I could’ve found a Laundromat 🤔

    At any rate, the towards the end of the trip we stayed somewhere with a washing machine, so we all did a load and hung them on the drying rack.

    Clean clothes are important. Sometimes, MAYBE, I’ll go three days on a shirt. But only for work, because I work mostly alone and don’t sweat much or at all most days. But if I do? Or it gets dirty? New shirt.

    In my normal life it’s similar, I can MAYBE get two days from a shirt in the spring fall winter, but not summer. One and done.

    Same with showers, MAYBE two days, I’ve done three in a pinch but it’s gross. Gotta wash yourself every day. Can’t believe people who don’t.

      Thank you for the sink-washing idea, that might have just saved my bacon, and was easier than the shower wash I was planning
