"I continue to shower twice a day — and I’ve taken to bringing my dirty clothes into the shower with me each night and washing them as I wash myself. This makes my laundry routine seem less like work, and my clothes are coming out just as clean as when I wash them in the sink.
"In general, I’m surprised how easy it has been to stay clean and odor-free while traveling without luggage. When standing in line for train tickets with a group of European backpackers in Fes the other day, I was intrigued at how unkempt my fellow vagabonders looked. Even with their rucksacks full of spare gear, they looked as if they hadn’t washed any of their clothes in over a week. I felt like I had just scrubbed up for a job interview by comparison.
"I mention this not to disparage the backpackers (I’ve traveled in that manner myself for most of the past decade), but to note that basic hygiene on the road is less a matter of how much you pack than how diligent you are about keeping yourself (and your gear) clean. If cleanliness is a personal priority, it’s easy to stay clean, luggage or no.
"On a related topic, those of you who tuned in to the Fes chapter of my journey know that I’m now carrying a small mineral-salt stone to keep my armpits well-scoured and free of bacteria...."
