Just spent 17 years traveling for work and now everybody acts like I invented lying. Relax, I took notes. by Marco Polo

You were not invited for your storytelling ability, Marco. You were hired to stop getting lost.

Fair. But if my trip was so unbelievable, explain why everyone keeps retelling it like gossip with a map.

Oh so now the man with the quill wants to act innocent. You turned a travel report into a bestseller.

I wrote the book exactly as you told it. If it sounds dramatic, maybe don't narrate like a man auditioning for legend.

Both of you are exhausting. One of you got lost, the other got creative, and somehow I still paid the bill.
