Have you experienced the unpredictability of travel whether domestically or abroad?
Ever find yourself surprised by unexpected cultural differences?
Do you wonder how people who live the lifestyle of a frequent business traveler maintain their sanity?
A sense of humor and being able to laugh at yourself is often a good place to start. Tales of a Road Warrior is a collection of true short stories accumulated by someone who has logged about five million miles over many years of global travel. While most are humorous, and several talk about the pitfalls of travel, a few are more serious, and others show the positive side of travel.
Through reading this book you will laugh a lot and see how the author learned some lessons in patience, understanding, and appreciating the cultural differences of people he met along the way. In any case, it is unlikely you will look at traveling the same way again.
Bon Voyage!

“I found myself smiling about many of the stories because I’ve had similar travel experiences. I also enjoyed the author’s unique encounters, his story telling ability and his sense of humor. A lot of laughs as I shared a few of Mr. Steele’s stories, and some of my own, during XMAS dinner.” – TJR
