Depends on what a person values out of their travel. I totally get why people bring lots of things with them during travel.
I personally like being nimble and not having to pay extra for a checked back for air travel. Lugging around heavy bags really annoys me. If I'm playing my travel by ear, sticking to one light bag keeps things stress free. Minimalism is certainly not a waste of time in my case. It can be a waste of time if someone gets comfort, pleasure, or utility out of bringing things like kitchen hardware.
> I also only stay in places with washer/dryer and do laundry every day because of running.
Often times I don't know where exactly I'll end up, in which case I can't count on a washer and dryer. That's just my preference, and presumably that of others. It sounds like you're making the smart choice by traveling in a way that fits your lifestyle.
> I'm not going to hang disgusting sweaty clothes.
Yeah I agree. I don't rewear anything that's unwashed except for a pair of jeans.
Will agree with you on the jeans. Rarely ever wash them to maintain the color. Another advantage is that they still have that factory denim smell. And if I do wash them I use woolite darks and flip them inside out.
Personally, I don't wear jeans much and they're the last thing I'd bring for lightweight travel. There are lots of synthetic trousers that are super lightweight and easy to rinse out quickly.
