A Different Black Friday: Giving Something Away Instead

A signed copy of The Freedom Project: Travel as an early holiday gift

I’ve always had mixed feelings about Black Friday. It’s loud, chaotic, and overflowing with “limited-time offers” that somehow never seem to end, but somehow start earlier every year (yes, I’m looking at you, Amazon). For most companies, last year’s deal looks a lot like this year’s deal, which somehow also turn into the next “exclusive” holiday sale. Everything feels urgent and noisy, and very little of it feels as exclusive or meaningful as it may appear on social media.

So this year, I’m doing the opposite.

Instead of throwing another discount onto the bonfire, I’m giving something away, something personal, something physical, and something that actually matters to me:

How it all began

I’ve had a small stack of author copies sitting at my home office, and I’ve been wanting to get them into the hands of people who would appreciate them most. So I decided to turn Black Friday into what it probably should have been all along: an early holiday moment to give something thoughtful, not a frantic push to buy more stuff you don’t need.

This book was where my whole journey began: the beginning of the Freedom Project series, the story that started my life as a published author, and a peek into how travel allowed me to reimagine what life could look like. It feels fitting to give it away now, as we start planning another year of adventures, big or small.

Start your 2026 travel plans now

If you’re anything like me, you might already be thinking ahead to 2026: new destinations, new experiences, new upgrades and little luxuries to make the journey smoother.

Travel deals for the new year always start appearing long before January, and Black Friday is usually the quiet beginning of the next cycle of planning. I’ve already been keeping an eye out for savings opportunities, not just on flights, but on the little things that make travel meaningful and comfortable. The right gear, the right systems, the right intentions.

It’s never too early to start dreaming forward.

This signed book is my way of celebrating that spirit. A small reminder that travel isn’t only about the places we go, but about the person we become as we plan, anticipate, and eventually arrive.

And since this is an early holiday gift, it’s available not only to current VIP subscribers but also to new ones: a thank-you for being part of my community and supporting my work in such a real and personal way.
