Joe Fahey has turned his globetrotting life -- think Japan, Russia, Europe, South America and more -- into a marvelous collection of anecdotes that range from practical to whimsical, all conveyed with a storytelling flair. From how to conduct yourself -- don't be a jerk -- to what to watch out for -- tour guide-gift shop collusion -- "Global Entries" is both enjoyable and invaluable for the novice or seasoned traveler.

Have a seat on the park bench next to Joe Fahey, a polite Midwestern farm boy from Wisconsin who became a multi-million-mile international traveler. Ask where he’s been, what he’s seen, what he’s experienced. Get ready for quite a ride!​ His decades of travel abroad as marketing executive for a Japanese company took him on a Forrest Gumpian magical-mystery tour to dozens of famous and God-only-knows-where places around the globe. Let Joe escort you to King Tut’s burial chamber, visit the hometown of Mikhail Kalashnikov who gave the world the AK-47 rifle, swing by a Bolivian carport drive-in brothel, sip coffee with professional tasters in Brazil, and discover the most elegant hotel in Lithuania - run by the KGB. Walk with him into the opulent lobby of the world-class Raffles Hotel in Singapore, a favorite of Joseph Conrad and Humphrey Bogart – and get escorted out.​ Along the way, “eat what’s in front of you” (like Joe does!) and taste exquisite French cuisine, munch on crunchy minnows in Japan, savor “Cupim” - the hump of a Brahma Bull and discover the surprise of “Mexican Caviar.”​ Have a seat next to Joe Fahey, listen, and ride with him on his fascinating story.

I loved it! Very entertaining, very funny, very informative, and I loved the personal “friends-sitting-around-swapping-stories” (AKA "shootin' the shit") writing style you used. While reading Global Entries I could feel the spirit of wanderlust awaken in me!! South America - Russia - especially Japan - you make ‘em come alive. I do admire your courage and your curiosity, and I’m certainly more than a bit envious of your travel adventures - congratulations on a great book!

Joe Fahey shares a collection of short, engaging stories from his 50 years of extensive business and leisure travel to dozens of places around the world. There are interesting insights on local culture, customs, food and more. Plus, five simple rules to follow to help avoid problems when abroad. All told in a humorous, self-deprecating style that makes it an enjoyable read.
