The Idea Behind the Site
So... you think that staying at a hotel with no hot water is a BIG problem... I once stayed at a hotel in Egypt that had ONLY boiling hot water! Every time I tried to use the toilet...my butt got steam cooked... What to do...? How do you learn about such things...? Only from sharing experiences, solutions, and just plain practical ideas from other travelers. That is the kernel of TheKnowmad.com. I offer real travel tips from a real long-haul business traveler. The topics may range from the disgusting to the delightful... but they are always useful... and entertaining...
