TRAVEL TURNED ME INTO A STORYTELLER
Travel is an amazing experience and I’ve spent years of my life living out of my backpack. I’ve explored well-beaten tourist trails and to far corners beyond them. Each journey is an adventure and each adventure gives with a story to tell. So one day I decided that yes, I would write 80 of my best Travel Stories.
After leaving me speechless, travel then turned me into a storyteller!
I’ve found that travel is a kaleidoscope of people, places, events, history, culture, food and fun. Through the pages of my book, I’ll bring it all to life for you. The stories are fascinating, inspiring, amusing and amazing. Some even get a little crazy but collectively they are an insight into the wonderful highs and gritty realities of travelling the world on a budget.
AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 TALES is a special travel book because:
TRUTHFUL: Firstly and perhaps most importantly, when you read a travel story, you want it to be genuine. You don’t want to read some fictional account of something that never happened written by someone who’s never been there! All my stories are completely true and related exactly as they happened. Nothing in my book has been contrived or exaggerated.
CONCISENESS: Each of my stories have been intentionally edited to 500 words. This has often meant making every word count! The result is that you can enjoy each adventure without having to read any unnecessary diction.
PHOTOGRAPHS: While many travel books are only text, Around the World in 80 Tales is packed with colour photos and explanatory captions. Nearly all images are my own photography or taken on my camera.
INFORMATIVE: You want a travel story to be entertaining right? And it would be also nice if you could learn about different places too? Around the World in 80 Tales provides exactly that, page after page! Aside from relating my personal experiences, I’ve also included numerous relevant facts and historical information.
VARIETY: My stories have been rearranged from the original order they were written in. This was done to create a fascinating journey through a diverse range of travel situations and activities. As the pages turn, you’ll be taken on adventures such as snorkelling in Malaysia to hiking in Nepal and camel riding in Morocco. Enjoy the ride!

Summary
With stories from 25 countries and 5 continents, Around the World in 80 Tales contains the adventures and misadventures of a world traveler, giving insight into different cultures and what can be seen on a budget.
Each tale is concise and fun to read, though I wouldn't recommend trying to read it through in one sitting. I learned a lot about different countries as I read and enjoyed the photographs that accompanied each tale.
The only point of criticism I would offer would be in regards to the wording. Condensing each story to 500 words makes for some odd phrasing and occasionally I noticed some missing punctuation.
This is a must reader for those who would like to learn more about the world through a traveler's eyes.
