    I can’t wear a shirt for more than two days without getting smelly. Antitranspirant helps, but I just got noticeable BO. A week in the same shirt is not happening even if I’m home alone and not leaving the house

      I think they meant that everyday they only wear one shirt for that day. Not the same shirt one day after another

    Can you explain to me why doing laundry is not a thing for many people on vacation? Why hurl a giant suitcase of clothing instead of a few pieces you wash every couple of days? Never made sense to me.

      I’m busy doing shit I don’t wanna wait around for laundry. Plus I’ve only once had access to a laundry room I trusted to not have stuff stolen out of it; we specifically planned for it because it was three weeks and we needed somewhere to do laundry at the halfway mark

      Because vacation is often camping or staying in a hotel. And there aren’t reasonably-priced laundry facilities in either place

      But sure, if you have a washing machine in the place you’re staying… Even then, washing every couple of days feels excessive.

      But I’m not the one packing 32 shirts either

      Costs? In most hotels, doing laundry is really expensive per piece. In some apartments having a washing machine, you have to pay per load and sometimes the washer/energy, too.

      So, packing for a few days extra mostly is just question of cost vs. comfort?

      But yeah, asked myself the same question packing a big suitcase for the last vacation…

      Seeking out a nearby laundry sounds awful.

      I do laundry on travel when the location has it as an option.

    My goal in life is to someday go on an international journey with only a wallet and a phone. Maybe a compute bag. But no accoutrement.
