So you travel overseas for 2-3 weeks, with only a carry-on??

Laundry. You are not traveling to the Outback or depths of the Amazon jungle, you’ll find laundromats and/or full-service laundry options wherever you go. Pack 5-6 days worth of stuff—stretch to 7-8 with judicious re-wearing or the occasional sink rinse, then spend 1.5 hrs at the laundromat or send your clothes out to be washed. Prices vary widely, but I got two loads washed/dried/folded in Munich for ~$15, did my own in Bayeux for $10, and got them washed/dried/folded at a small hotel in Palermo for $12.

A lot of people do. I'm like you, I don't want to wear merrells everywhere.

Lately for 10-14 day overseas trips we're doing carryons, personal items and one 26inch rolling checked bag. I carry my carryon on my back (no wheels), and handle the checked bag. It's pretty easy, even over cobblestones, hopping on trains, etc.

If you enter and leave from the same city, it's nice because you can leave your bag in one city and take carryons to the other cities. IMO taking one checked bag is easy, especially if you plan ahead (two rollers sucks, don't do it) and particularly if you're opting for trains over small budget flights.
