True Travel Tales

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, bars, cafes, restaurants, 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.

Travel Tales: Michael’s Own Best 150

The True Travel Tales series is the expanded full collection of the best of all my own personal travel stories in my rich, varied and adventurous travel life that has taken me to more than 125 countries. This book of travel tales includes a selection of my own personal best, worst, funniest, and in some cases, even my most embarrassing travel experiences that 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 the collection of my own personal best 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!
