I really did wind you up, didn't I? :-)
When I'm not flying or working to pay for the flying, I really am a backpacker. And when you do that long enough, you realise that everything you leave at home, counts. To the point where personal hygiene stuff, and even spare clothes are minimized. I know guys who will take a hacksaw and saw about 1/3 off the length of their toothbrush, under the assumption that if they can reduce the weight of every individual piece of equipment by 1/3, they've saved 33% weight overall.
So when I saw the title "travelling light" I really could not resist...
But to be honest, when backpacking, good looks and smells really don't count. But if cabin crew would look and smell just as bad as we do after having walked the bush for five days, I'd probably never fly that airline again.
So take what I said with a big grain of salt, and go get that Nivea Assist!
