Book Synopsis Travel Tales: The African Safari Reader by : Michael Brein
Download or read book Travel Tales: The African Safari Reader written by Michael Brein and published by True Travel Tales. This book was released on 2022-07-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel Tales: The African Safari Reader is a collection of African wildlife safari stories including some very scary tales of coming close to possible trouble with wild animals in your African travels but fortunately managing to just escape unscathed. It is also a collection of some of the fearful sorts of things that can and do happen to travelers, but mostly these will not happen to you. But if they do, you get to experience real, raw fear including sometimes fear for your very own life. These are very unsettling occasions that may pop up now and again in your travels. Travel Tales: The African Safari Reader, includes specific tales of close calls, and, hopefully, even occasional great escapes by travelers, specifically on safari in Africa with lions, snakes, hippos, elephants, Cape buffalos, crocodiles, baboons, hyenas, and more. This collection of true tales is the place to hear about African wildlife. I hope dangerous African wildlife encounters don't happen to you, but if they do, I hope you manage to escape and overcome them. Hopefully, you'll be all the wiser for reading about such things throughout these pages. By reading the accounts of others on safari you'll gain a healthier respect for what it is like to experience the true wild. And you'll gain a better respect for Mother Nature in all her glory as you witness and enjoy her magnificent African wildlife creations. Travel Tales: The African Safari Reader includes examples of bad things that occasionally happen to travelers despite their best efforts to avoid such things. But bad things DO happen on occasion, and the best thing to do is to avoid them in the first place. But if we cannot, we should do our best to escape them. Again, while there's no easy, simple miracle list of failsafe strategies for always staying safe and surviving each dangerous situation with wild animals that may arise, there are, nevertheless, meaningful takeaway strategies from the many examples presented in this book that'll enable one to develop and keep in mind ways to enhance personal safety and reduce the risks of potentially dangerous outcomes. While many of the tales in this book are not strictly about life and death situations surrounding wildlife, some of them are, and some are no less about difficult, embarrassing, and otherwise annoying nuisances that we all would do well to avoid and do without. The scope and variety of close calls with African wildlife in this book may surprise you. And some would never likely even occur to you. Some are even funny, like, for example, some of the examples of exotic wild animal meats you'd maybe try in Africa but would never eat even on a dare back home. Yes, such African wildlife encounters might never even occur to you, but after reading about it in this book, it may give you some pause -- who knows? Please note: another book in our True Travel Tales series, namely Travel Tales: Wild Animals includes all of the African wildlife content included in this book plus more wildlife stories from all around the world. If by reading this African Safari Reader you avoid even one unexpected travel danger that you might never have even thought of other than by reading this book, then I'll have accomplished a very useful purpose.
Book Synopsis Travel Tales Monthly by : Michael Brein, Ph.D.
Download or read book Travel Tales Monthly written by Michael Brein, Ph.D. and published by Michael Brein, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Brein’s Travel Tales Monthly bookazine Issue No. 7 for January 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. The January issue samples safety and security of the woman solo traveler (as well as women traveling together in pairs or very small groups)—the quest to achieve safe and secure, relatively comfortable, unencumbered, and unimpeded travel throughout the world. Unfortunately, travel today for anyone, and particularly for women, has increasing challenges, what with growing terror threats, the imposition of severe and strict cultural and religious restrictions of women's rights and freedoms as well as the apparent decreasing tolerance for cultural and religious differences and diversity across certain borders around the world. Introduction to Travel Tales of Women Alone: Hassles & Assaults Part 1 Travel Tales of Women Alone: Hassles & Assaults is divided into two parts simply because there is so much material. Part 1 appears here in the current Travel Tales Monthly issue No. 7 Jan 2015 and serves as a general introduction to this subject matter. Part 2 The unabridged, expanded forthcoming ebook Travel Tales of Women Alone: Hassles & Assaults, part of The Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series, is a larger volume and includes both Parts 1 and 2. Women traveling alone and surviving the many hassles and occasional assaults is challenging in the least. For women alone travel mostly is exciting and relatively safe, but for many women, traveling in some countries, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East can often be traumatic and downright dangerous. I have tales of women constantly doing battle with those who would bother and hassle them. And some women, sad to say, have simply disappeared from the market place, never to be seen again. To be a woman and to travel alone in such forbidding places is simply not for the faint of heart. Unfortunately, many young women simply do not ‘get it,’ in that they are rather naively unaware and must be exceedingly careful and very circumspect in their interactions with men overseas. Just because the men are well-dressed and speak your language (English), does not necessarily mean that they are to be trusted. Read these tales of women traveling alone, but be prepared for anything. Some of the tales are quite graphic. Every woman traveling abroad NEEDS to know and prepare herself for dealing with such things. While travel is mostly adventurous and exciting, it can also be foreboding and downright dangerous. PAY ATTENTION: Look, listen, and learn! Please, please! If you are a woman about to travel alone in the world—please at least read these pages! If I were you, I'd really want to think THRICE about traveling to some parts of the world as a woman ALONE! Come on! It's REALLY a dangerous world out there. Yeah, yeah, it's dangerous enough to walk alone in some U.S. cities as it is, let alone in the back alleys of North Africa and many other places in the third world. Women have shared 100s of travel stories with me about how they have had to fend off—YES, even fight off—the unwanted advances of men, ranging from verbal harassment, unwanted touching, exposure, and, yes, even rape! I have heard more encounters by young women relating to me “yes, I should have known better; I should have seen the signs.” And sad to say, there are some stories I've heard where women have simply disappeared out of market places, never to be seen again—presumably sold off into white slavery, even! This is not a book designed to merely scare you—it is meant to SHOCK you into a mind space that you had better duly consider the risks and repercussions of doing any foreign trips all by your very own self! DIRE WARNING! The accounts in this ebook of women traveling alone are in some cases VERY graphic and disturbing. Be forewarned that the material contained in this ebook includes some horrific language, images, actions, and dire consequences. This ebook is meant for a mature adult audience only, yet, the material contained herein needs to be communicated in a clear and responsible manner to young and inexperienced girl/woman travelers who most definitely have a need to know how to travel more safely and securely.
Book Synopsis Travel Tales Collections: Airplane Stories by : Michael Brein, Ph.D.
Download or read book Travel Tales Collections: Airplane Stories written by Michael Brein, Ph.D. and published by Michael Brein, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ‘Travel Tales Collection, Airplane Stories,’ No. 9, April 2015, 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. An airline story is in the news today! And so it goes. There’s hardly a day now that an airline incident of some sort or another is not in the news. We’re taking a lot closer look at air travel these days than ever before. Therefore, as regards the psychology of travel, we should take a much closer look at what actually happens on airplanes. And so, in The Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series, that's exactly what I do. Air-travel-life stories include the full range of the human air travel experience, from pre-boarding incidents to arrivals; from the cabin to the loo; from the public and private lives of airline personnel as well as passengers—from the pilots to the stews to you—from that which makes us laugh to that which makes us cry, as well as, unfortunately, to that which creates abject fear and terror in the skies. Air travel is now more in the public eye than ever before. Thus, it is no wonder now that regarding the experience of traveling in the skies—like any other aspect of travel—we are not only more circumspect than ever before—we are, on closer view, now much more aware of how air travel is now seen to elicit the full range of the human experience. And in this one particular unique microcosmic window of scrutiny we see that air-travel is but one unique travel environment in a cornucopia of many others, and one that is neither unimportant, insignificant, indistinct, nor independent with respect to the overall experience of travel. Love it, hate it, or simply endure it, the lure of traveling in the skies, whether as just a means to a place or as an end in and of itself, the activity of flying, per se—airplane travel stories not only endure, they are on the increase. Whether you've survived a crash, been bombed by terrorists, been part and parcel of other scares and frights, been harassed upon departure or on arrival, or even laughed yourself stupid on a flight, your tales are memorable, and it is my personal mission that some of them are repeated here! Introduction to Travel Tales of Airplanes: Terror in the Skies! Part 1 Travel Tales of Airplanes: Terror in the Skies! is divided into two parts simply because there is so much material. Part 1 appears here in the current Travel Tales Collection issue No. 9 Apr 2015 and serves as a general introduction to this subject matter. Part 2 The unabridged, expanded forthcoming ebook Travel Tales of Airplanes: Terror in the Skies, part of The Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series, is a larger volume and includes both Parts 1 and 2. The travel stories in Part 1 consist mainly of the personal air travel tales of Michael Brein (me), the author, plus those of a few other contributors. The travel stories in Part 2 are, largely, the air travel stories of world travelers and adventurers whom I’ve encountered and interviewed all throughout my travels over the last four decades to 125 countries. Mostly, your own air travel will typically be exciting, interesting, and without incident, but odd things can and do happen to you at almost any turn along the way in your travels, and air travel is no exception. Unfortunately, the restricted, constricted, and microcosmic environment of the airplane lends itself sometimes to a variety of episodes illustrating the vagaries of the human temperament and behavior that rear their ugliness on airplanes from time to time, whereby air passengers and crew sometimes act and behave in ways that are often atypical and different from how we normally would behave at home. I hope only peaceful and laughable events happen to you in your air travels. I sincerely hope that the negative travel tales of airplanes do not happen to you in your own travels. If something interesting happens to you in your air travels, you deserve to also be in these pages! Got an interesting travel tale for The Travel Psychologist Travel Tales Series?

Book Synopsis Travel Tales Collections: Toilet Stories by : Michael Brein, Ph.D.
Download or read book Travel Tales Collections: Toilet Stories written by Michael Brein, Ph.D. and published by Michael Brein, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-03-18 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ‘Travel Tales Collection, Toilet Stories,’ No. 8, March 2015, 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. In the previous issue of ‘Travel Tales Collections,’ No 7 Feb 2015, I included a selection of food and drink experiences that you can have in your travels. Therefore, it is only fitting, after covering food and drink travel stories, that we now turn our attention to what inevitably comes next or later, namely, the subject of toilets in travel. After all, toilet experiences are an unfortunate but essential aspect of living that, like it or no, we all must come to terms with, whether on the home front or in strange exotic foreign lands. Being often beset with culture shock issues almost at every turn, especially in third-world countries, the necessity of dealing with toilets: where to find them, what to do about them, and how to use them even, elicits from many travelers nothing less than abject terror. Thus, for instance, when ‘nature calls,’ and you have barely a clue as to what to do about it or where to go . . . well, for many, it is in the least, horribly anxiety-provoking, and for others nothing less than horrifying and debilitating. For, in the best of all possible worlds—namely, in your home—where you have your bathroom all set up just as you like it, with an ample supply of paper toilet tissue rolls, a great functioning sink, fresh, safe water, nearby reading matter—in a word—you have conveniently all the first-world accouterments for dealing with the art and science of defecation fit for a king or queen, no less, at least in your own private castle, on your own private throne! But what if you find yourself in a third-world outback where you are bluntly faced with nothing but a bare hole in the ground and with NO paper of any kind anywhere in sight? And what if there are piles of human feces and hordes of flies at just about nearly every turn and in every corner? You have the stark realization that you are not in Kansas anymore. Are you of the proper mindset to deal with all of this? Be it as it may, there is, of course, much humor surrounding the subject of toilets in travel and considerable disgust as well. In this issue we pull no punches and deal with the subject of toilets overseas head on! (Pun intended!) They say, that in travel, people often ask the same basic sorts of questions over and over again when they meet for the first time. “Where are you from?” “What do you do?” “Where are you going?” and on and on. It should not be at all surprising, therefore, that one of the typical morning topics of conversation among travelers in the third-world often is—however disgusting and revolting this may be—and maybe the number one or number two (pun intended) things travelers talk about together during their early mornings (I swear this is true!)—whether they've had a good dump or not. Or, “Did, you have diarrhea again?” Or, “Did you drink the water?” It is about all this crap, literally and figuratively; there is no escaping it. Call it all TMI (too much information), but it's about what starts you off on a good or a bad day! And it IS, after all, what you really do talk about! Some of the toilet stories I've gathered are truly hilarious, and some, sad to say, are not! It's a third-world out there, and if you are not prepared for it—BEWARE! The pages in this ebook will make you much more aware! But be forewarned: this ebook is not for the faint of heart. Oh yeah, you will laugh your “okole” (Hawaiian for ‘butt’) off, and, if you're not quite ready for it, it just might dissuade you from really, truly roughing it. However, discouraging you from third-world travel is not my purpose; rather, it is to inform you, enlighten you, and prepare you, somewhat, for the inevitable consequences of drinking the ice or water, eating unpeeled fruits or veggies, eating some street food, or crossing that stream with an open sore, any of which may have some unpleasant and unintended consequences in store for you! My advice to you is this: if you are squeamish about toilets in the third-world, perhaps you should think about making alternate travel plans! In any event, the travel tales of toilets, which follow, should help prepare you for such adventures! When nature calls you and you have NO-where to go or not much of an idea of what you can do about it, well, you will have earned yourself a place in these very pages!

Download or read book Whatever You Do, Don't Run written by Peter Allison and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new and expanded edition of Peter Allison’s hilarious, highly original collection of essays based on the Botswana truism: “Only food runs!” With biting wit and tales of outrageous adventure, Peter Allison gives us a safari guide’s first-hand account of working in the African bush. Allison regales us with stories about confronting the world’s fiercest terrain of wild animals and most, terrifying of all, managing herds of gaping tourists run amok. His humor is exceeded only by his love and respect for the animals of the Kalahari. As a top safari guide, he knows he serves the whims of his wealthy clients, yet he often has to stop the impulse to run as far away from them as he can. When this isn’t possible, his goal is to limit any negative exposure to humans by planning trips that are minimally invasive—unfortunately it doesn’t always work out that way. With much good-natured scorn for himself, no one but Peter Allison could make up these outrageous-but-true tales!
Download or read book Travel Tales written by Michael Brein and published by True Travel Tales. This book was released on 2022-08-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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: Morocco, Egypt & North Africa Is a collection of travel stories of one of the travel world's most mystical sought-after destinations -- the top of Africa, also known as the 'Dark Continent.' Certainly among the world's handful of the most eagerly sought out places on Earth to visit, without a doubt, the pyramids in Egypt, the souks of Morocco, and the lure of the Sahara on camelback loom large in the minds of armchair travelers and would-be adventurers. And while North Africa, especially, the pyramids of Egypt and the souks of Morocco are so very untypical of the relatively innocuous and mellow travels in Europe, travel to North Africa is often beset with experiences that are always exciting for most yet potentially challenging for others. It is particularly recommended, for instance, that relatively inexperienced solo women travelers to North Africa keep its challenges clearly in mind regarding safety and security issues that would be well taken into consideration. To be sure, North Africa's marvelous exotic foods and drinks and sights do not disappoint. And there truly is no world equal to the view of the pyramids in all their splendor that may very well be the most amazing sights to be seen the world over. Indeed there are some ridiculous behaviors of the oft hilarious and embarrassing comings and goings of crazy stupit scoundrel tourists on their (our) own National Lampoon-like (summer) 'Vacations' who cannot seem to help themselves (ourselves) by behaving at times as the ugly Americains who we sometimes cannot help but be! I mean, really! Climbing to the top of the pyramids which is patently illegal? It is also one of our purposes of the True Travel Tales series to provide a cross-section of travel life in the World's most popular places, along with the good comes sometimes a portion of the bad as well. In the True Travel Tales series, we aim to pull no punches. You'll see the good and best sides of Egypt, Morocco, and North Africa, and you'll also perhaps sample some of the more discomforting or disquieting darker aspects as well that sadly are also part of the cycle of travel life in such a diverse and exotic region as North Africa.

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.

Book Synopsis Whatever You Do, Don't Run by : Peter Allison
Download or read book Whatever You Do, Don't Run written by Peter Allison and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hilarious, highly original collection of essays based on the Botswana truism: “only food runs!” In the tradition of Bill Bryson, a new writer brings us the lively adventures and biting wit of an African safari guide. Peter Allison gives us the guide’s-eye view of living in the bush, confronting the world’s fiercest terrain of wild animals and, most challenging of all, managing herds of gaping tourists. Passionate for the animals of the Kalahari, Allison works as a top safari guide in the wildlife-rich Okavango Delta. As he serves the whims of his wealthy clients, he often has to stop the impulse to run as far away from them as he can, as these tourists are sometimes more dangerous than a pride of lions. No one could make up these outrageous-but-true tales: the young woman who rejected the recommended safari-friendly khaki to wear a more “fashionable” hot pink ensemble; the lost tourist who happened to be drunk, half-naked, and a member of the British royal family; establishing a real friendship with the continent’s most vicious animal; the Japanese tourist who requested a repeat performance of Allison’s being charged by a lion so he could videotape it; and spending a crazy night in the wild after blowing a tire on a tour bus, revealing that Allison has as much good-natured scorn for himself. The author’s humor is exceeded only by his love and respect for the animals, and his goal is to limit any negative exposure to humans by planning trips that are minimally invasive—unfortunately it doesn’t always work out that way!

Book excerpt: Travel Tales: Nine Lives Travelers is a collection of very scary tales of close calls and great escapes in your travels. Nine Lives Travelers are people who could have easily lost one of their "nine lives" by not making it through a travel situation that should have claimed at least one of them, had things gone differently. This book is a collection of bad and fearful things that do occasionally happen to travelers despite their best efforts to avoid them. But bad things DO happen now and again, and it's best of course to avoid them in the first place, but, of course, if we cannot, we should certainly do our best at least try to escape them. While there's no easy, simple list of failsafe strategies for always staying safe in dangerous situations that may arise in travel, there are, however, meaningful strategies to be learned from the examples in this book that will enable one to increase one's personal safety and reduce the risks of dangerous outcomes. While many of the Nine Lives Travelers tales are not strictly about life and death situations, some are about difficult, embarrassing, funny, and otherwise annoying situations that we all would do very well to avoid and certainly do without. The scope of the close calls and ultimate escapes in this book may very well surprise you. And some would never even occur to you. Some are even funny, like, for instance, El Diablo Chapt Loco, the very close-call story of riding the Crazy Red Devil "chicken bus" through the horrifying mountain roads of Panama. Yes, such an adventure may never happen to you, but after reading about it, it may give you some pause - who knows? Maybe you'll never, ever happen to board a chicken bus! Sure, you'll read stories in this book that will alert you to situations that may never even occur to you. But if you avoid even one new travel or life danger - if you can avoid losing that one of your nine lives) by simply reading this book -then I'll have accomplished a very useful purpose. Since it's impossible to include every tale of nearly losing one of your very valuable nine lives, in my collection of True Travel Tales all in one single volume, they do, of course, appear throughout my True Travel Tales series. A few books elsewhere in the series, for example, Travel Tales: Wild Animals, Travel Tales: The African Safari Reader, and Travel Tales: Snakes and Other Critters, of course, do specifically include tales of close calls (and, hopefully, great escapes) by travelers, largely on safari in Africa and elsewhere in the world, with wild animals, including lions, tigers, snakes, hippos, elephants, Cape buffalos, crocodiles, dogs, bulls, monkeys, baboons, birds of prey, cougars, hyenas, bears, snakes, scorpions and many more. Just What Is a "Nine-Lives Traveler?" In Travel Tales: Nine Lives Travelers we broadly consider that those of us travelers and adventurers though having naturally our one and likely only single cherished God-given life to live have the potential, of course, to court seriously dangerous or potentially disastrous (or even funny or embarrassing for us) close calls such that we may very easily and loosely have skillfully managed to "save" or even sometimes hypothetical "lose" in our travels or adventures. Yet we live another mindful day. We say we have "lost" (or nearly lost) one of our potential so-called "nine lives" when we have managed to maintain, contain, or even sustain ourselves in these sometimes risky (or exceedingly embarrassing or funny situations during our travel lives) and have duly managed to "survive" and "overcome" to live yet another travel day!

Book excerpt: Travel Tales: Wild Animals is a collection of wildlife viewing stories including some very scary tales of often coming close to serious trouble with wild animals in your travels but managing to just barely escape. It is also a collection of the fearful sorts of things that can and do happen to travelers, but mostly these will not happen to you. But if they do, you get to experience real, raw fear including sometimes fear for your very own life. These are very unsettling occasions that may pop up now and again in your travels. Travel Tales: Wild Animals, includes specific tales of close calls, and, hopefully, great escapes with encounters by travelers, largely on safari in Africa and India, and elsewhere, even, with lions, tigers, snakes, hippos, elephants, Cape buffalos, crocodiles, dogs, bulls, monkeys, baboons, hyenas, birds of prey, cougars, bears, and more. This collection of true tales is the place to hear about them. I hope they don't happen to you, but if they do, I hope you manage to escape and overcome. Hopefully, you'll be all the wiser for reading about such things throughout these pages. By reading the accounts of the near mishaps of others you'll gain a healthier respect of what it is like to experience the true wild. And with a better respect of mother nature in the wild one gains better enjoyment and the utmost appreciation of creation. Close Calls: Wild Animals includes many examples of bad things that happen to travelers despite their best efforts to avoid such things. But bad things DO happen on occasion, and the best thing to do is to avoid them in the first place. But if we cannot, we should do our best to escape them. Again, while there's no easy, simple miracle list of failsafe strategies for always staying safe and surviving each dangerous situation with wild animals that may arise, there are, nevertheless, meaningful takeaway strategies from the many examples presented in this book that'll enable one to develop and keep in mind ways to enhance personal safety and reduce the risks of potentially dangerous outcomes. While many of the tales in this book are not strictly about life and death situations surrounding wildlife, many of them are, and many are about difficult, embarrassing, and otherwise annoying nuisances that we all would do well to avoid and do without. The scope and variety of close calls with wild animals in this book may surprise you. And some would never likely even occur to you. Some are even humorous, like, for example, the many examples of exotic wild animal meats that you'd never eat on a dare back home, but are, instead, all in when it comes to trying, say, pressed rabbit in Peru or even steak tartare during your travels in the south of France! (I won't be the spoiler and reveal it to you here!) Yes, such an adventure may never even occur to you, but after reading about it in this book, it may give you pause -- who knows? Maybe you'll never, ever eat a bizarre, strange dish in the first or next instance. Sure, you'll read stories in this book that will alert you to situations that may never occur to you. But if you avoid even one new travel danger that you might never have even thought of by reading this book, then I'll have accomplished a very useful purpose.

Book excerpt: THIS SERIES This series collects the true tales of travelers in all kinds of situations maybe of which may be fearful, dangerous, and even life-threatening and what they did to travel safely and securely. No one wants to encounter very scary and dangerous situations in the first place, but if they do, they want to travel as safely and securely as possible to avoid or escape the dangers they may face. I've interviewed nearly 2,000 world travelers and weaved the best of their tales into a psychology of travel as revealed by these very telling stories, These are travelers I've met on airplanes, trains, buses, ships, tours, safaris, and in hotels, campgrounds, cafes, and pubs. These are courageous travelers who have shared their most joyous adventures as well as on occasion their fearful close calls, whether with wild animals, scary, menacing, and dangerous people, raging nature, or any number of other potential dangers. While the focus of this book is traveling as safely and securely as possible and avoiding danger in the first place, the series also focuses on how to best avoid dangers and how to deal with them. While most of us experience good and wonderful travel, others have had to deal with horrific and life-threatening situations, which I, in turn, share with you now through my True Travel Tales series, specifically this book Travel Tales: Close Calls and Great Escapes. THIS BOOK This Book deals with primarily with the safety and security of the solo woman traveler. It is about how women and girls can travel more safely throughout the world. Unfortunately, travel today finds us in a world of growing threats and dangers. For people who travel, having to deal with dangers and threats is daunting in the least. For most of us, travel is exciting and relatively safe, but for many women, traveling in some countries, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East, parts of Asia, Africa, and the Central and South Americas can often be risky and downright dangerous. I have tales of travelers who have been caught up in very dangerous situations. The majority travel relatively safely, however, some of us may in our lives find ourselves confronting and dealing with a variety of dangers. Fortunately, most travelers can remain relatively safe; some escape with only minor difficulties, and, sad to say, some travelers have been unable to escape some of the dangers they have confronted. Traveling to potentially dangerous and forbidding places is not for the faint of heart. Many relatively inexperienced travelers are sadly unaware and must be exceedingly careful in their travels. Every traveler abroad needs to know about and prepare him- or herself to deal with a variety of dangers. Women have shared hundreds of their travel stories with me about how they have had to fend off the unwanted approaches of men, ranging from verbal harassment, unwanted overtures, and, yes, sometimes pickpocketing, robbery, assaults, and even rape at times! People have said to me, "Yes, I should have known better; I should have seen the signs. I should have taken better precautions." Finally, readers should know that some stories are quite graphic and they may want to exercise some discretion. As unpleasant as some stories may be they must nevertheless be told.
