Travel Writing Memoirs

Michael Brein's Travel Tales Collection, Spooky Tales 1, features a bunch of bizarre and strange tales of the paranormal that can happen to you in your travels. Strange things do happen, and mostly they are the usual, typical, expected sorts of normal experiences. But there are also those unexpected, strange surprises that pop up now and again in your journeys.

De 1934 à 1935, Paul-Emile Victor séjourna au Groenland avec une petite équipe de scientifiques. En 1936, il traversa la calotte glacière du Groenland. Il hiverna ensuite seul avec une famille esquimau de la côte Est. De 1936 à 1946, il parcourt les Alpes, la Laponie, la Suède, la Finlande, l'Alaska, les iles Aléoutiennes, selon les nécessités de l'époque. Démobilisé en juillet 1946, il rentre en France et organise les Expéditions Polaires Françaises. En 1953, ces Expéditions comptaient à leur actif cinq campagnes d'été et 2 hivernages au Groenland, et 5 campagnes d'été et 3 hivernages en Terre Adélie.

Michael Brein's Travel Tales Collection: The USSR 1 features three wild travel tales of unbelievable things that could have happened to you during the old Cold War Soviet Union communist era. Of course, there are always the usual, typical, expected sorts of Eastern Europe (a la the Cold War) experiences. But there are also those incredible unexpected surprises that become all the more memorable just because they are so unique!

Issue No. 1, Jul 2014 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, but you will also see the unfortunately sad and serious sides to travel as well.

Michael Brein's Travel Tales Collection: Turkey 1 includes Michael's own personal travel tales of the sorts of things that can happen to you in your travels in Turkey. Of course, Michael's Turkey stories are fairly unique to him, but somewhat similar things may happen to you. To Michael, Turkey has been a paradox: On the one hand he found the Turkish people to be among the most hospitable and kindest people in the world; on the other hand - as in other parts of the world - Turkey also has its dangerous and dark side.
