Strange Tales of World Travel: * Bizarre * Mysterious * Horrible * Hilarious *

"The entire point of travel is to encounter the unimaginable. Gina and Scott Gaille have collected some of the most remarkable tales to ever see the light of day. A hoot to read." --J. Maarten Troost, author of The Sex Lives of Cannibals

"A fabulous new book! Two- or three-page stories, each one brings you to a different part of the world." --Frommer's Travel Show

"Strange Tales of World Travel presents a world you will not find in glossy magazine articles, breathless blogs, or self-adulatory Instagrams ... it's a world of adventures gone awry, ... of intimate glimpses of unimaginable wealth and unquestionable power, of close encounters with the wilder edges of human culture .... The result is a collection that is, as the book's subtitle suggests, bizarre, mysterious, horrible, and hilarious--like travel, and life itself." --From the Foreword by Don George, author of Lonely Planet's How to Be a Travel Writer

"Damn! I thought my book had the strangest bunch of true travel tales under the sun, but the Gailles' collection leaves me in the dust. Maybe even obliterated in a Sahara sandstorm." --Albert Podell, New York Times best-selling author of Around the World in 50 Years
