In The Know Traveler

Start here!

With the Estonian octogenarians of Setomaa.

I started In The Know Traveler in 2004 with the sincere desire to continue to see the world and inspire more people to do the same. I figured that if more of us were traveling we would discover that we had more in common than not with others. Maybe we could see each other for our similarities, rather than our differences. Over 4000 articles later, this message has not changed. If anything, it is more important than ever. I do hope you will continue to find your inspiration and commitment in exploring your world right here at In The Know Traveler.

We travel because we are supposed to know each other.

Questions You Should Ask

What is In The Know Traveler?

ITKT, as we like to call it, is an online travel magazine dedicated to international travel and cultural exchange. We do this through personal stories, video and photos covering 189 countries around the world. And we have been doing it since 2004 — so we know a thing or two about travel 😉

What the secret mission?

I started ITKT in 2004 with the sincere desire to get more Americans passports in their hands and traveling. Secretly, I hope that if we all traveled more, we would realize how much we have in common as people, as humans. Perhaps, we would not have to fight with each other so often. I know, the pipe dream of world peace is a long shot, but it is one pipe dream worth pursuing. Until then, let’s get to know each other. It is another dream worth pursuing.

Your web site sure has a lot of raspberry in it?

Honestly, I was listening to Raspberry Beret by Prince when the idea of changing my life and building this site began. So, this is my small homage to a truly talented musician. Lots of yellow (I think Prince went through a yellow phase) and green (I just like it), too.

Are you that guy getting married all over the world?

I am. My wife and I are shooting for 100 weddings in 100 countries. You can check us out at In The Know Bride. Honestly, it is one of the better relationship choices I have ever made.

Why should I read/like/return to ITKT?

I suppose what makes ITKT different is we publish writers from all over the world, while managing to not be a corporation. We are real people writing about real travel. We have very few ads because we like to do what we want.

Can I travel for Free, like you?

Yes, I have a program that teaches you how to travel for free without having to be a blogger. Blogging is fine for some but no everyone wants a career of taking selfies and posting photos on Instagram. There is a much better way to do it. Sign up for our newsletter for more.

Can I write for you?

Yes, totally. We don’t pay much but happy to see how we can work together. For more on this, visit our Submission Guidelines or our Writers’ Checklist

Steve Smith inherited the wanderlust and has always needed to see what's around the next corner. In his college years he enjoyed many memorable forays into Mexico sleeping on beaches under the stars, but today that's all changed.

Since 2006 he's contributed stories and photographs to In The Know Traveler, and in 2014 he assumed an editor role. Published both in digital and print formats, his international assignments have taken him to the Middle East, Asia, North/Latin/South America, Europe, and the Caribbean. Together with his co-pilot, today his global road travels intersect with digital storytelling and dynamically add to them with space-age mapping technology.
