Yes, they may perpetrate their own schemes on fellow travelers or even the locals themselves. Sometimes you succeed and sometimes you don't. This book collects the curious along with some extraordinarily funny situations travelers sometimes get themselves into that they'd normally not do at home. This book includes the true tales of what travelers try to get away with while free of the controls of their normal daily lives at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile traveling, you often strive to be all you can be, good or bad, and sometimes rightly or wrongly so. You behave, after all, often just to see if you can do it -- if you can get away with it  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou are an 'Actor' playing roles you'd never dream of doing back at home. You might try foods or drinks you'd never dream of consuming back home. Or you might steal ashtrays, bathrobes, hotel keys, and even license plates as souvenirs that you'd never dream of doing back home. You might try to get into places without paying. You might pretend to be someone you're not, like crashing a party given by a famous movie star. You might try to sneak around the Metro without paying, not because you didn't have the money, but because you just wanted to see if you could do it. Some stories may border on being abject criminal acts like the guy who treated his friends to free dinners by paying for them using fraudulent credit cards. Some travelers smuggle. Some things people get away with are silly, funny, mischievous, or ridiculous even. One man, for instance, poured bubble bath in London's Trafalgar Fountain flooding the square with soap bubbles \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome tales involve doing some not-so-good things to fellow travelers. We don't condone some things that travelers have done, but don't we secretly admire some things some people manage to pull off? For example, some people secretly rooted for DB Cooper who hijacked an airplane over the Pacific Northwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTravel is often a time to test yourself, to see what you are made of. Oh, we all get away with some harmless silly things that hurt no one. And to some extent, that is who we are. We travel, we grow up, we mature.

In Cons, Scams \u0026amp; Ripoffs we help you steer clear of cons and scams that separate you from your money in a variety of deceitful ways that also cause you untold discomfort and distress. And finally, in this book, Getting Away With It, it's your turn to learn the accounts of the sorts of things that some of us pull off that are not strictly legal and sometimes smack of things that we're not all that proud of doing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, this book may cause you to take a closer look at yourself and see some of the things that you as a traveler do that maybe you wish you hadn't done at all. Pickpockets and other thieves, and con artists and scammers are the sorts of people we want to stay away from. And our getting away with some things ourselves that we may not be all that proud of is a part of the process of growing up and learning what we should avoid doing in the first place or at least grow out of. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51250656084241,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51250658541841,"sku":"NIN9781393792246","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1393792243.jpg?v=1751240688"},{"product_id":"travel-tales-book-michael-brein-9781393087793","title":"Travel Tales","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51294758469905,"sku":"NIN9781393087793","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1393087795.jpg?v=1750921222"},{"product_id":"berlin-book-michael-brein-9781886590076","title":"Berlin","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51379108806929,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51379108938001,"sku":"GOR002479927","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1886590079.jpg?v=1751425331"},{"product_id":"sydney-book-michael-brein-9781886590113","title":"Sydney","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52420569235729,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52420569301265,"sku":"GOR014522575","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781886590113.jpg?v=1759063011"},{"product_id":"travel-tales-book-michael-brein-9798215567944","title":"Travel Tales","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTravel Tales: Down Under -- Australia \u0026amp; New Zealand\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs a collection of travel stories of among the travel world's most favorite destinations. Without a doubt, Australia, New Zealand also known affectionately as Downunder), as well as nearby neighboring islands of the South Pacific are to be sure among my favorite destinations in the world to visit. The travel stories in this book about this area of the world are basically divided into a number of geographic parts. When asked to share their most interesting travel tales of visits to Downunder and other nearby island nations, it is no surprise that in addition to some of the more touristy stuff, there are some interesting metaphysical-related stories of visitors to tell as well since, simply stated, this part of the world does also have its own share of the psychic and paranormal aspects that affect visitors to just about anywhere. There are also a few travelers' tales about some of the not-so-pleasant aspects of travel to these areas as well. So, it is only fitting that I provide some of these stories for you too -- be they as they may -- since these are the tales that travelers feel are important enough and therefore want to share with you. Mostly, your own Downunder travels will typically be interesting, exciting, rewarding, safe, and without incident, but odd and unpleasant things can and do happen on rare occasions in your travels, and visiting the Southern Pacific is certainly no exception. To be sure, with its marvelous food and drink, artwork, architecture, museums, and magnificent natural scenery, Downunder with its great cities and natural vistas has so much to offer. It is also one of our purposes of the \u003cem\u003eTrue Travel Tales \u003c\/em\u003eseries to provide a cross-section of travel life in the world's most popular cities and countries, but along with the good comes occasionally a portion of the bad as well. In the True Travel Tales series, we aim to pull no punches. You'll see the good and best sides of the world and its cities as well as some of the rarer possibly negative and regrettable travel aspects in this area of the world as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53657698468113,"sku":"NIN9798215567944","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798215567944.jpg?v=1781422881"},{"product_id":"road-to-strange-book-michael-brein-9798231110797","title":"The Road to Strange","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is the next book in \u003cem\u003eThe Road to Strange\u003c\/em\u003e series.

It, therefore, behooves us to think of this book as not only a compendium of human-alien variants that we may experience in our lifetimes, but that perhaps we ought to consider them as alternate space-time variations which converge or overlap with our own shared universe of sorts with aliens?
