All he used was organic soap, toothpaste, and essential oils.?Nobody thought that I smelled at all,” he wrote on his blog. “And I surprised myself at how clean I was, just like everyone else.” Greenfield says he had no lack of friends, and sometimes they’d even join him.

　　He even had a few romances, which he says were the times he felt the most challenged.

　　?The hardest part were the times when a beautiful girl wanted me to get in the shower with her and I had to say no,” he told BuzzFeed. “A few times I almost got in and then remembered I was aiming for a year without showers.”

　　He said it was also difficult when the temperature dropped in San Diego, and he didn’t feel like having to go to the Pacific Ocean for a dip. But he still did it.

　　?I realized that water doesn’t have to come from a shower head to get me clean,” he wrote.

　　In Brooklyn, for example, he found a bath in a leaky fire hydrant.

　　The world traveler told BuzzFeed his biggest takeaway from the project has been abolishing stereotypes.

　　?A short time ago I would have thought it crazy to forgo conventional showers,” he said. “Turns out it’s not really a big deal at all. We have a tendency to make instant character judgments based on clothing, style, race, sexual preference, political affiliation, and even bathing habits, and most of the time we’re just absolutely wrong.”
