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, 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. Expect upwards of 100 eBooks covering many different countries and travel themes as well. Travel Tales: Michael's Own Top 25, is Volume 1 of the True Travel Tales series and is the best of a collection of my own personal most interesting travel experiences in my rich and varied travel life that has taken me to more than 125 countries. This is the lite edition. For the collection of my best 150 own personal travel tales, you may also want to read Travel Tales: Michael's Own Best 150, which is the full expanded edition of the best of my own personal travel stories. So, if you feel that you would like to read all 150 stories in their entirety, I would recommend skipping the lite book Travel Tales: Michael's Own Top 25, altogether, and obtaining, instead, the full expanded Volume 2, Travel Tales: Michael's Own Best 150. My travel tales include a selection of my best, worst, funniest, and truly most horrific travel experiences, that, by virtue of their emotional impact upon me at the time-whether positive or negative-have now become my most memorable and interesting travel stories today. From my unique perspective of being the world's first and probably only travel psychologist, I think you'll find my own travel experiences riveting, informative, funny, and entertaining. Please enjoy! While some people say that some of my stories are riotous, others say that I should be kept locked up at home and not allowed to travel anywhere! These events, as unbelievable as some of them may seem to be, really did happen to me! Read on! DISCLAIMER. Please be forewarned that some stories in the True Travel Tales series may be graphic, unpleasant, and disturbing. This series is generally aimed towards a more mature adult audience, yet, no doubt, some material ought to be communicated in a clear and responsible manner to younger and relatively inexperienced and naive travelers, who could benefit by knowing how to travel more safely and securely. The author does not necessarily agree with opinions expressed by contributors. Finally, no story in the series is meant to depict any country, people, culture or religion in a negative light. Good and bad things can happen anywhere and to anyone. Note: Some stories may appear in more than one eBook in the True Travel Tales series, depending on the subject matter and countries covered
