Ten Lessons I've Learned From Traveling

I can’t remember the number of times I’ve checked into a hotel only to see that the advertised laundry service is, in fact, down for repairs for the foreseeable future. Things like that can happen, and it’s important to plan in such a way that you’re more self-sufficient if some essential service goes down when you’re traveling.

For this specific one, I always make sure to bring a small travel bottle filled with laundry detergent when I go abroad. I don’t love doing sink laundry, but I’ll certainly do it to guarantee clean underwear and socks for a few more days.
