Michael Brein is an author, lecturer, consultant, travel storyteller, adventurer, and publisher of
travel books and guides, as well as a fascinating book series on UFOs, the paranormal, and the
highly strange.
He earned his PhD. in social psychology, with a specialty in the psychology of all things
travel, and an MBA at the University of Hawaii.
He has had a career for more than 20 years as a college professor in psychology and
business, teaching at various universities in Hawaii, including an overseas two-year stint

Michael was the first to coin the term “travel psychology.”
Through his doctoral studies, work, life experiences, and world travels, he became the
world's first and perhaps only travel psychologist. As “The Travel Psychologist,” he is quoted in
leading newspapers, magazines, blogs, podcasts, and other interviews worldwide, commenting
on the psychology of travel as well as UFOlogy and the paranormal.
