In the 1980s, hotel sinks didn’t have stoppers in the drains. Why? To stop backpackers from washing their clothes in the room. To get around this, we produced a sink stopper (a little orange rubber mat about 4 inches across) with our hippie logo on it. Lay this in the bottom of your sink, and the water fills up so you can do your wash. 
Back then, trying to be really efficient and personable at the same time, I photocopied a pile of postcards with my handwritten note thanking people for their feedback. It was by reacting to all that feedback that our company evolved to be what it is today. And for that, I thank all of you who plugged your sinks with the Europe Through the Back Door sink stopper, and wrote to us about both your travel needs and your travel dreams. Today, even though our lives are quite different, our mission remains the same: to help you travel better.
Happy travels!
