Michael Brein’s Travel Tales Collection, Turkey 1, includes Michael’s own personal travel tales of the sorts of things that can happen to you in your travels in Turkey. Of course, Michael’s Turkey stories are fairly unique to him, but somewhat similar things may happen to you. To Michael, Turkey has been a paradox: On the one hand, he found the Turkish people to be among the most hospitable and kindest people in the world; on the other hand — as in other parts of the world — Turkey has its dangerous and dark side, too. Michael found that most of his travel experiences in Turkey were great, but he quickly learned to keep a wary eye towards the potential negative, which was, fortunately for him, atypical and rare. There are almost always unsettling, rare surprises that do pop up now and again in your travels. Michael hopes they don't happen to you. But if they do, hopefully, you're all the wiser for reading about them in these pages. The Travel Tales Collection, Turkey 1, features stories of incredible hospitality, love, despair, ignominy, war, and more. Whether you are just an armchair adventurer or are actually planning a trip to Turkey, Travel Tales Collection, Turkey 1 will provide you with many interesting and useful insights about the land and people of Turkey. The Travel Tales Collection, Turkey 1, is part of Michael Brein’s Collections travel tales series and contains among the best travel stories from Michael’s huge collection of travel tales that he has gathered in interviews with nearly 1,750 world travelers and adventurers during his four decades of travel to more than 125 countries throughout the world. Travel Tales Collections are groups of very interesting similar travel stories of a kind on a variety of very specific travel subjects, themes, or countries, such as close calls, great escapes, pickpocketing, scams, safety and security in travel, Paris, Morocco, Mexico, and so on. Eventually, several hundred Collections on all sorts of specific travel subjects, themes, and countries will be available on all the major eReaders. Future Collections and other ebooks will also include additional travel stories on Turkey.

The Travel Tales Collection No. 7 for February 2015, Food & Drink, includes Michael's own personal travel tales plus those of others of the sorts of food and drink—dining & eating experiences—that you can have in your travels. Of course, Michael's own food and drink stories are fairly unique to him, but somewhat similar things may happen to you. To Michael, eating and drinking has been sort of a paradox: On the one hand, you want what you ingest to be safe, reliable, and fairly known; on the other hand you want to try new things, which involves taking a little bit of risk. After-all, ‘you are (sort of) what you eat,’ and you ‘get’ what you eat or drink, often. Negative food and drink experience are almost always unsettling and rare surprises that do pop up now and again in your travels. Michael hopes the bad experiences don't happen to you. But if they do, hopefully, you're all the wiser for reading about them in these pages.

As the Western world struggles to comprehend the paradoxes of modern Turkey, Tales from the Expat Harem reveals its most personal nuances. This illuminating anthology provides a window into the country from the perspective of thirty-two expatriates from seven different nations—artists, entrepreneurs, Peace Corps volunteers, archaeologists, missionaries, and others—who established lives in Turkey for work, love, or adventure. Through narrative essays covering the last four decades, these diverse women unveil the mystique of the “Orient,” describe religious conflict, embrace cultural discovery, and maneuver familial traditions, customs, and responsibilities. Poignant, humorous, and transcendent, the essays take readers to weddings and workplaces, down cobbled Byzantine streets, into boisterous bazaars along the Silk Road, and deep into the feminine stronghold of steamy Ottoman bathhouses. The outcome is a stunning collection of voices from women suspended between two homes as they redefine their identities and reshape their worldviews.

Travel Tales in the Promised Land by Karl Friedrich May As soon as they step into my house and see my strange collection of travel keepsakes, all visitors' eyes are drawn to the Arabian saddle, which actually deserves credit as the inspiration and author of this story. It has Oriental-red velvet, richly decorated with gold embroidery. This Pasha saddle was fit for a tribal Turkish chieftain, having comfortable stirrups and an accompanying dreadful bit that could conquer the stubborn resistance of even the mightiest horse.

Michael Brein’s Travel Tales Monthly Bookazine Issue No. 8 for February 2015 contains among the best travel stories from Michael’s huge collection of about 10,000 travel tales that he has gathered in interviews with nearly 1,750 world travelers and adventurers during his four decades of travel to more than 125 countries throughout the world. There's not a one of us who hasn't been at some time or other in his or her travel life conned, scammed or hasn't fallen victim in one form or another to some sort of clever ruse or rip off, often perpetrated on unknowing travelers who are well-intentioned, sometimes naive, and often traveling ‘on automatic,’ i.e., not paying close attention to what is going on. Though not usually quite as stark as pick pocketing or out-right theft, per se, these are ‘softer,’ more subtle, and oft, somewhat clever schemes pulled off on unwary travelers. Unfortunately, travel today for anyone, and particularly for relatively naive, younger and inexperienced travelers, has increasing challenges, what with the growing numbers of people relegated to begging, scheming, thieving, and having to do whatever they need to do to survive and get by. All too often, it has just about become almost the norm for people of all persuasions and varieties to try to somehow dispossess unknowing and unsuspecting foreign travelers of their money, passports, personal possessions and effects, and travel accouterments, simply because it's the easiest way for them to get by. It's often easier to steal than to work. And work overseas is not always easy to come by for those who want or need it. And not only are there the usual local legions of pick pockets, thieves, and muggers on the prowl to contend with, that are looking for victims, there are plenty of other fellow travelers guilty of doing such things as well. Often travelers find themselves in difficult and sometimes dire situations, such as running out of money, getting into trouble, contending with being far away from home, maybe even getting strung out on drugs, or just having difficulty surviving. Some of these travelers, as a result, find themselves succumbing to and joining the ranks of con artists and scammers who prey on other travelers and sometimes even the locals. Finally, who has not at one time or another in one's travel life tried to see what they can get away with—perhaps trying to ‘get something for nothing!’ Being far away from home and not normally under the usual familial or social constraints, it is no wonder that there's often a temptation to ‘get away with things’ that one would not normally try at home, but which the more lax foreign environment gives more free rein to. In fact, it is often sometimes simply ‘good sport’ to see what one can get away with without getting caught. Introduction to Travel Tales of Cons, Scams and Other Rip Offs. Part 1 Travel Tales of Cons, Scams and Other Rip Offs is divided into two parts simply because there is so much material. Part 1 appears here in the current Travel Tales Monthly issue No. 8 Feb 2015 and serves as a general introduction to this subject matter. Part 2 The unabridged, expanded forthcoming ebook Travel Tales of Cons, Scams and Other Rip Offs, part of The Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series, is a larger volume and includes both Parts 1 and 2. Young inexperienced and naive travelers, in particular, and the rest of us, in general, often have a tendency to trust others a little too easily and too quickly. And this is what can get us into trouble. Those who will prey upon us with all sorts of cons, scams, and schemes are often very well-practiced and fairly expert at relieving us from our money, our important papers as well as our important travel things. I have heard hundreds of tales of the innocent as well as the fairly savvy traveler falling victim to an untold number of different cons and scams. There's no doubt in my mind that we can benefit a lot by simply reading and thinking about the accounts of others who have had these bad, unfortunate things happen to them. Mostly your travels will be safe without incident, but bad things, though rare, can happen to anyone at almost any turn along the way. I hope these things don't happen to you, but if they do, I sincerely hope that the travel tales of cons, scams, and ripoffs that appear in these pages will have been helpful to you in some way.
