>>1482201I don't know what kind of money you have or how dry cleaners work in Portugal, but it might be cheaper that storage and laundry to just leave a dirty shirt with a dry cleaner when you pick up your nice clean and wrinkle-free shirt for interviews/work each day. Keeping a clean and presentable image will help you be more employable, I usually have a gym membership I use for showers and lifting (and cardio if the weather is trash or the local crime rate is discouraging). A storage locker might not be a bad idea for your books and laptop, I thought you meant you were going to try to keep an apartment's worth of stuff in a larger storage unit. Make sure you have some kind of waterproofing measure so your books and laptop don't get soaked while you're carrying them in your bag. I put most of my things in zip lock bags before putting them in backpacks and such.
>one is torn to the point where I'll get rid of them soonSave it for patch material if the fabric isn't too threadbare. Your pack or other pair of pants could snag on something sharp and require emergency repairs. I keep pic related in my pack or pocket when traveling and I've used it plenty.
