The Tales of a Fly-By-Night (And Other Stories I Never Told My Mother) - ebook

This collection of short travel stories should come with a public health warning! These tales have been proven to cause restlessness, perspective shift, and travel itch in reasonable people, which may result in you being branded a “Fly by Night” by your mother’s friends. Author V M Karren will recklessly tempt you to grab your passport, buy a one-way ticket and go get lost with him in far flung corners of Europe that you will never read about in a guide book.

This anthology of both hilarious and tear-jerking short stories compiled from constant adventure seeking, will immerse you in the sensual languages, music and food of the Mediterranean Sea, before scaring your socks off in the snow and ice of Russia. Karren will take you along to Vienna to enjoy ten days in the hospital, and then get you lost and stranded in the far north of Sweden, in winter. He will drive you through breathtaking Transylvania, over treacherous mountain highways, and get you arrested in Moscow. If you’re lucky, you will get off with just a warning while he is publicly berated for disorderly conduct by the Sicilian food police.

This book will confirm the wisdom of your previous decision to keep your job, call your mother, and stay right where you are! You will laugh. You will cry. You will wonder what else in the world you’re missing.
