These just might be the strangest stories you've ever read.
"This book contains some of the most astonishing tales I've ever encountered. One after another. They make for obsessive reading." -Tim Cahill, author of
Jaguars Ripped My Flesh
"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
