Travel Tales Monthly is a release of incredible travel tales. Michael Brein, aka The Travel Psychologist has interviewed more than 1,750 world adventurers and travelers throughout his travels to 125 countries over the last four decades.

"You wouldn't believe the incredible stories people have told me about their travels," says Michael about the 10,000 travel tales he has amassed in this way. Stories include the good, the wonderful, and the magical, as well as the bad, the horrible, and the truly horrific!

Some stories even are about travelers who sadly did not live to tell their tales.

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 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 is the world's first travel psychologist. Thus, he tells the 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.

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? What's it like to be touched by a stranger? What's real fear like? Michael 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 ?

In this Issue:

December samples 'drug tourism' — which travelers avidly seek out to recreate, vegetate, meditate, cogitate, experiment, explore, or become enlightened.

Snake Wine, The Full Moon Party, and Magical, Mystical Marrakesh show how travelers ingest, inject, imbibe, chew, eat, snort, and smoke a variety of drugs, substances, plants, and 'medications,' in order to morph from the brain-less to the super-conscious — from the 'mindless' to the 'mindful.'

It's one thing to dabble in drugs at home; it's another matter, altogether, to venture into a vast world of exotic magical, mystical drugs and substances that are there for the taking.

But what are the consequences of 'doing' drugs in a foreign land? In Snake Wine our traveler toys dangerously with drinking, willy-nilly, a concoction of blood and venom of a deadly poisonous snake in a Taiwan night market.

And The Full Moon Party describes how a couple of hippies get in over their heads by spiking the drinks of two Spanish policeman with LSD!

Others travel to South America to drink a horrid, vile tasting concoction called "ayahuasca," — perhaps throwing all caution to the wind and often...
