Travel Tales Monthly is a monthly release of simply incredible travel tales. Michael Brein, aka The Travel Psychologist has interviewed more than 1,750 world adventurers and travelers 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 include the good, the wonderful, and the magical, as well as, indeed, the bad, the horrible, and the truly horrific!

Stories are told mainly in the present 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 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 more — all in the form of about 200 standalone ebooks covering all sorts of subjects, countries, and themes.

The telling of travel stories by Michael Brein via his Travel Tales Monthly is travel storytelling par excellence, but with one significant difference: Michael Brein is the world's first travel psychologist. Thus, he tells the travel stories with a unique psychological bent — there's a lot of travel psychology behind everyone's experiences. With deftness 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 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? Michael Brein delves into 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 is sure that you will be captivated by the stories you read in his Travel Tales Monthly series.>
