Travel Tales: The Best of 10,000 Stories Vol 1

Travel Tales: The Best of 10,000 Stories Vol 1 No collection of 10,000 or so travel stories, vignettes, or parts thereof that were shared with me by nearly 2,000 world travelers whom I've interviewed across the Globe over five decades would ever be complete without gathering them together into one place of simply the best of the best travel tales. In Vol 1, (Chapters 1 thru 6) travelers' tales include the numerous incredible accounts of the normal as well as the paranormal including ghosts, wizards, haunted hotels, premonitions, synchronicities, supernatural encounters, UFOS, and aliens as well as mystical legends that people report they've experienced throughout their travels. In Vol 2, (Chapters 7 thru 14) travelers' tales continue with numerous safety and security issues garnered from this worldwide sample of travelers' experiences including occasional kidnapping attempts, sexual harassment and assaults, and all sorts of other unpleasant episodes that may be matters of life and death for the unlucky few among inveterate as well as novice travelers. In my True Travel Tales two-book series you will find travelers' tales shared with me regarding their myriad travel encounters in hotels, on ships, planes, and trains, as well as in towns, pubs, restaurants, museums, historic battlefields, and even campgrounds. A Story Sampler The fictional movie character, Forrest Gump (in the movie of the same name) once said in a classic movie scene his famous quote, "My mom always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." The Best of the Best of 10,000 or so stories included in the two-book series (both Vols 1 and 2) is basically divided into a variety of categories (chapters) all sampling what I feel are the most entertaining, informative, and interesting of all the stories that I've gathered from among the nearly 2,000 world travelers whom I've managed to interview traveling around the world over five decades. Of course, in the end, you are the final judge of which to you are truly the best of the travel tales that I've presented to you in this two-book series. However, be it as it may, even as everyone's tastes and likes are different, consider at least this collection of my best of the best to be a reasonable sample of travel stories that stand out for one good reason or another — at least to me!
