THIS SERIES
Over the last few decades, I've interviewed nearly 2,000 world travelers and adventurers. I am weaving the best of their nearly 10,000 fantastic travel tales into a psychology of travel as revealed by these very telling stories. These are travelers I've encountered on planes, trains, buses, ships, tours, safaris, and in campgrounds, hotels, restaurants, cafes, and pubs. These courageous travelers have freely shared their most personal travel experiences, some good and wonderful and others even horrific and life-threatening, which I, in turn, get to share with you now through my True Travel Tales series.
THIS BOOK
Travel Tales: Michael's Own Top 25 includes what I feel are my 25 best personal travel stories in all my travels that have taken me to 125 countries. My expanded edition, Travel Tales: Michael's Best 150, actually includes the entirety of that book as Part 1 of three). Therefore, you may just wish to read the expanded collection of Michael's Own Best 150 in its entirety instead.
My own travel stories include a selection of my best, worst, funniest, most embarrassing, and truly most horrific travel experiences that, by virtue of their emotional impact upon me, have now become my most memorable and interesting travel stories today. From my unique perspective of being the world's first 'travel psychologist, ' I think you'll find my own personal travel experiences riveting, informative, funny, and entertaining. Please enjoy! While some people say that some of my stories are riotous, others say I should be locked up at home and not allowed to travel anywhere! These events, as revealed in my travel tales, as unbelievable as some may seem, really did happen to me!
Note: Depending on the subject matter and countries covered, some stories may appear in more than one book in the True Travel Tales series.
