Do consultants have time/privacy to "master their domain" while away at hotels? I'm talking about "personal business"

So consultants don't share hotel rooms, do they? If so, I can imagine "taking care of business" would be difficult. I'd have to bring the laptop into the bathroom or something.

This is a serious question btw. I thought about it as I was lying in bed last night.

in europe, consultants usually have to go the hostel route. 8-10 a room, bunk beds, large public bathroom... the whole nine. thats when you have to really get creative

Obviously you never spent any time in communal living type situation (bunk beds, 40 dudes to a room etc.) Just put bend a leg at the knee and keep your noise level down...

I prefer airline lounge breakfast buffets in the early mornings. Strong preference for gunning into the Air France cornflakes.

 

On a related and more pertinent note; how easy/common is it to be able to run through women in different cities with all the travel?
