Through harrowing close calls and hilarious mis-adventures in some of the world's most exotic cultures, Michael Brein examines the in-depth psychological netherworld behind travel.

Michael Brein is the worlds first and only travel psychologist, who has created a unique series on the psychology of travel as told through the travel tales of more than 1,600 world travelers and adventurers he has interviewed over the last 30 years. My Top 10, the first book in the series, is a collection of Michaels 10 own best personal travel tales, including close calls and great escapes as well as his zaniest and funniest travel experiences.

When you read Michaels collection of his own travel stories you may wonder if all this could possibly happen to one world traveler. It certainly did! After reading some of his hair-raising and hilarious tales you may further wonder if Michael should have been allowed to travel abroad at all, and if, instead, he should have been locked up in a padded cell with the key being thrown away! You decide! This book is the abbreviated (lite) version of the full, expanded edition, Travel Tales of Michael Brein: My Best 100.

Michael Brein’s Travel Tales Monthly is a monthly bookazine release of simply incredible travel tales, told 10 at a time. Michael Brein, aka The Travel Psychologist has made it his life’s passion to interview, now more than 1,750 world adventurers and travelers he has met throughout his world travels to more than 125 countries over the last four decades. “You wouldn’t believe the incredible stories people have told me about their travels,” says Michael when he talks about the nearly 10,000 travel tales he has amassed over the years in this way. Stories run the gamut of the good, the wonderful, and the magical, as well as, indeed, the bad, the horrible, and the truly horrific! These are--simply stated--great stories! Stories are told mainly in the present tense by interviewees, but, sadly, some are revealed about travelers who unfortunately did not live to tell their tales. These have often been related by weary, bleary-eyed travelers who felt that these tales should also be told. Into the pages of Travel Tales Monthly and then into the volumes of The Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series ebooks will go the formerly untold tales of close calls, dangers, and great escapes; the mystical, spiritual, and the paranormal; meeting people, making friends, and incredible hospitality; harassment by beggars, hustlers, and con artists of all kinds; formidable characters met and phenomenal experiences had; and much, much more—all in the form of about 200 ebooks covering all sorts of subjects, countries and themes. The intent of Travel Tales Monthly is to present collections of tales each month, introducing you to the stories as they make their way into The Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series in the form of completed standalone ebooks in the series. The telling of travel stories by Michael Brein via his Travel Tales Monthly as well as his travel tales ebook series is travel storytelling par excellence, but with one significant difference: Michael Brein is the world’s first and perhaps only travel psychologist. Thus, he tells the travel stories with a particular, unique psychological bent—there’s a lot of travel psychology behind everyone’s sharing of their experiences. With deft and persistence, Michael hones in on and ferrets out the usually heretofore unexplored and untold truly psychological netherworld that lurks just below the surface of most people’s travel experiences, bringing them into full view. For instance, what led up to a good or wonderful travel experience? How can we experience more of same? What was behind the horrific life-threatening or pickpocketing experience that got you caught up in in that one horrendous moment? Let’s unravel bad experiences piece by piece to see how this might have been avoided in the first place. Let’s unfold wonderful travel experiences to see how these may be repeated. What are some of the philosophical and life-changing insights gained from mystical experiences in one’s travels? What’s it like to experience your roots? How does it feel to be the first white person that others have ever seen? How does it feel like to be touched by a stranger? What is real fear like? On and on, Michael Brein delves into travel experiences from the standpoint of what is interesting, what is to be learned, and what is to be gained? How can this be made to happen again? Or NOT at all? Michael Brein is sure that you will be mesmerized and captivated by the stories you read in his Travel Tales Monthly and in his Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series. In this Issue (No. 1 Jul 2014): Michael Brein’s Travel Tales Monthly Bookazine Issue No.1 for July 2014 is the very first issue! As such, it is only fitting that it contain 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. The 10 travel tales that are featured for July, as well as each following month, include a fascinating mix of travel stories as well as a few brief vignettes. The July issue features such hilarious tales as The Porno Prof Capers, which describes all the crazy, stupid sorts of trouble that a scurrilous scoundrel traveling to the former Soviet Union can possibly get himself into. And, if that is not enough, how about The Mad Bomber, who cannot help getting himself into all sorts of embarrassing situations. You are going to laugh this month, I promise! But you will also see the unfortunately sad and serious sides to travel as well. You may laugh or you may cry, but you will certainly experience vicariously those vagaries of travel-life that can await you and appear around the corner at just about every turn.

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, is the first book of the True Travel Tales series and includes the 25 best of my own personal travel tales in my rich and varied travel life that has taken me to more than 125 countries. For the full collection of the 150 best of my own personal travel tales -- (that actually includes the entirety of this first book as Part 1 of three) --you may want to read instead the expanded collection of 150 stories included in Michael's Own Best 150. I would recommend you skip the lite version, Michael's Own Top 25, altogether, and obtain, the expanded edition, Michael's Own Best 150. But if you are only initially interested in a first look at the True Travel Tales series, then Michael's Own Top 25 would be a good choice. My travel tales 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 that I should be kept locked up at home and not allowed to travel anywhere! These events as revealed in my travel tales, as unbelievable as some of them may seem to be, really did happen to me! DISCLAIMER Please be forewarned that some stories in the True Travel Tales series may be graphic, unpleasant, and disturbing. Therefore reader discretion in some cases is advised. This series is aimed toward a more mature adult audience, and, no doubt, some material as difficult as they may be 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 all the opinions expressed by contributors. Finally, no story in the series is meant to depict any country, people, culture, race, religion, or gender in a negative light. Good and bad things can happen anywhere and to anyone. Note: Some stories may appear in more than one book in the True Travel Tales series, depending on the subject matter and countries covered.

The 10 travel tales that are featured for October, as well as each following month, include a fascinating mix of travel stories as well as a few brief vignettes. The October issue features such tales as The Hug, Les Ugly Americains, and The Red Dodge, whereby travelers get themselves into trouble by behaving and acting in ways that make them ‘Persona Non-Grata’ overseas. It is difficult enough to be culturally sensitive back home. But what are the consequences of being insensitive in a strange foreign land? What do you do? And, if that is not enough for you, how about Run! Run!, our featured story for this month about an ’ugly’ American, who, in spite of himself, commits a series of simple cultural faux pas in Kathmandu—contrary to the good advice of a friend—a ‘beautiful’ American this time—which gets out of hand and morphs into a very scary, close call involving his worst nightmare and a possible threat to his life. You are going to consider this month what goes into being the ‘Good, Bad, and the Ugly’ of travel. And you will also see some aspects of travel that you may not ever have considered before. And, once again, you will certainly experience vicariously those odd vagaries of travel-life that can await you and can suddenly appear just around the corner at about any turn along the way. Dr. Loren Ekroth, our guest contributor for this month, revisits us with some very good travel advice and ‘picks.’

The September issue features such tales as The Chicken, The ‘Cow,’ and The King of the Road, whereby travelers get themselves into trouble by driving and running into people or animals with their cars. It is difficult enough when such a thing happens at home. But what if it occurs in a strange foreign land? What do you do? And, if that is not enough for you, how about Heine, our featured story for this month about a former child musical prodigy who accidentally stumbles into a strange mystical experience involving ancient mystical and mythological legends. Everything points to the possibility that an ancient sea legend may just turn out to be true! You are going to scratch your head this month. And you will also see some sad and serious aspects of travel as well. You will certainly experience vicariously those vagaries of travel-life that can await you and can suddenly appear just around the corner at about any turn along the way.

It is difficult enough to stick to the straight and narrow back home. But what are the consequences of acting and behaving illegally or immorally in a foreign land? And in one of our featured stories for this month, The Black Book, our traveler toys dangerously with several U.S. Federal authorities and becomes her own worst enemy! And even worse, and unbelievably, a Pan Am stewardess gets in over her head by daring to become the mistress of the president of an Asian country! How sensible or dangerous is that? Acting in ways contrary to good common sense, we have in this month’s issue a number of travelers who dare to taunt fate in the face of possible dangerous and disastrous consequences. And, finally, you will also see some aspects of travel that you, yourself, may not ever have even considered before.

The August issue features such hilarious tales as The Speed Trap, which describes the craziness of driving in Italy, as well as Two Tales of Chuck, an apparent ‘miscreant who advances temper tantrums to get his way, though not always successful, by the way! A couple of travel tales touch on ghosts and the paranormal in travel. And other tales include Crazy, Stupit Scoundrels, which speaks for itself. The Cane, the feature story for this month, describes a mystical experience taking place in Morocco. Loren Ekroth, Ph.D., aka “Dr Conversation,” is this month, the first of a series of guest contributors.

Travel Tales: Idiots Abroad is a very funny book. It's a collection of Michael Brein's funniest travel accounts of the nearly 2000 interviews with travelers he has met in his own travels around the world over the last four decades. Although the typical travel stories collected in the books that make up the True Travel Tales series are ordinarily oriented towards safety and security in travel, the very scary accounts of the risks and dangers in your travels and managing to often just barely to escape, the tales are mainly of the fearful and dangerous sorts of things that can and do happen to travelers. Mostly these things will not happen to you. You'll read in the series plenty of examples of the real, raw fear and very unsettling occasions that may pop up now and again in your travels. This book, Travel Tales: Idiots Abroad, however, pauses all of this. Instead of dealing with all sorts of true accounts of close calls and great escapes in connection with all sorts of travel situations including chases, foiled kidnappings, attacks, roadblocks, scary places, trips from hell, borders, and police, hitchhiking, international spying, smuggling, and intrigue, being in the wrong places at the wrong times, terror attacks, bandits, Mexican standoffs, airplane crashes, accidents and mishaps, white slavery, robberies, sexual harassment and assaults and more, rather, the series now pauses to simply make you laugh! Instead of reading about the dangers and mishaps of others, whereby you'll focus on and gain healthier respect of the true dangers and risks of travel and adventure... the point of Travel Tales: Idiots Abroad is purely and simply to make you laugh... to enjoy, for all it's worth, the many moments among two thousand or so travelers of their shared moments of smiles, of chuckles, of laughs, and yes, of belly laughs, too. This is the time to enjoy those special moments that you, yourself, just happened to be the focus of or perhaps at the behest of others. And make no mistake, whereas some of these stories and laughs are so profoundly silly, others are the stuff of keepsake memories. Many of the funny accounts of travelers in Travel Tales: Idiots Abroad are the tales of others; many are about us making others laugh instead, yes... often at our own expense. And that makes them especially funny and memorable. Yes, indeed, we are often the Crazy Stupit Scoundrels, ourselves, and I am one of you! I have often, myself, been the Idiot Abroad, and I am all the happier and prouder for it! The travel tales told in Idiots Abroad are things we got away with and laughed about later. Pouring bubble bath in Trafalgar fountain in London, getting away with things we'd dare not do at home, even, like eating critters in restaurants we'd never think of doing but for being overseas, like daring to eat a "pressed rabbit" (a roasted guinea pig in Peru), or Steak Tartare (raw horsemeat in France) or a potentially deadly poisonous fugu fish in Japan! Yep, like trying to talk two Italian motorcycle cops out of giving you a speeding ticket -- and succeeding! -- yes... in Italy for God's sake (everybody speeds in Italy!). Nope, such adventures may not ever happen to you, but assuredly something funny will! You'll laugh at these stories in Travel Tales: Idiots Abroad; you'll remember your own; you'll look forward to your next laughs overseas. And after you pick up this book, read a tale or two, and set it back down; you'll do so with a smile.
