THIS SERIES
This series collects the true tales of close calls and great escapes of travelers in fearful, dangerous, and even life-threatening situations and what they did to travel safely and securely. These are the scary and dangerous situations travelers have encountered in their travels! No one wants to encounter very scary and dangerous situations in the first place, but if they do, they want to travel as safe and secure as possible to avoid or escape the dangers they may face. I've interviewed nearly 2,000 travelers and weaved the best of their tales into a psychology of travel as revealed by these very telling stories, These are travelers I've met on airplanes, trains, buses, ships, tours, safaris, and in hotels, campgrounds, cafes, and pubs. These are courageous travelers who have shared their most fearful close calls, whether with wild animals, scary, menacing, and dangerous people, raging nature, or any number of other potential dangers. While the focus of this book is traveling as safe and secure as possible and avoiding danger in the first place, the book also focuses on how to best avoid the dangers and how to deal with them. While most of us experience good and wonderful travel, others have had to deal with horrific and life-threatening situations, which I, in turn, share with you now through my True Travel Tales series, specifically this book Travel Tales: Close Calls and Great Escapes.
THIS BOOK
This Book deals with the safety and security of the traveler. It is about how to travel safely throughout the world. Unfortunately, travel today finds us in a world of growing threats and dangers. For people who travel, having to deal with dangers and threats is daunting in the least. For most of us, travel is exciting and relatively safe, but for many, traveling in some countries, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East, parts of Asia, Africa, and the Central and South Americas can often be risky and downright dangerous. I have tales of travelers who have been caught up in very dangerous situations. The majority travel relatively safe, however, some of us at some points in our lives may find ourselves confronting and dealing with a variety of dangers. Fortunately, most travelers can remain relatively safe; some escape with only minor difficulties, and, sad to say, some travelers have been unable to escape some of the dangers they have confronted. Traveling to potentially dangerous and forbidding places is not for the faint of heart. Many relatively inexperienced travelers are sadly unaware and must be exceedingly careful in their travels. Every traveler abroad needs to know about and prepare him- or herself to deal with a variety of dangers. Again, while mostly safe, travel can also be foreboding and downright dangerous at times, and one must always be prudent. People have shared hundreds of their travel stories with me about how they have had to fend off the unwanted approaches of people, ranging from verbal harassment, unwanted overtures, and, yes, sometimes pickpocketing, robbery, assaults, and even rape at times! People have said to me, "Yes, I should have known better; I should have seen the signs. I should have taken better precautions."
