Black Friday is usually the time when I start planning for the following year’s travels and book a few flights and hotels in advance to make use of the discounts. With the massive sales, there’s no better time to start planning your travels for next year than now.

These days, almost every travel company is offering exclusive Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. You can get discounts on flights, hotels, travel blogging courses and travel gear.

TOUR OPERATORS

G Adventures

I’ve worked and traveled with Canadian small-group adventure operator G Adventures many times over the past few years, from Brazil to Nepal, and the Arctic to Antarctica.

If you like adventure and don’t mind traveling in small groups, then this is the company you would want to book with.

Lonely Planet

I’m been a loyal fan of Lonely Planet since I started traveling at 17. I work quite a lot with them these days, and they’re still my go-to choice when I buy guidebooks.

From Black Friday to Sunday midnight, Lonely Planet has a few special offers:

• Get 2 for 1 — Simply use the code ONE4FREE in their online shop and get two travel goodies for the price of one. Choose from guides, gifts, kids’ books and more. (Excludes pre-orders.)
•  Free standard delivery — This is automatically applied to all orders over €35 (order total is based on discounted prices and excludes delivery charges).

Go to the Lonely Planet website for more details. I’ve already bought 4 books for $50!

BLOGGING

I’ve been raving about Travel Blog Success for years here, as I truly believe they are the best academy in the business and I wouldn’t be here without them. For this weekend only, TBS is offering 40% off TBS memberships and all courses, including my Complete Facebook Course.

That means the membership is now priced at $178 instead of the usual $297, and my Facebook course is now $76 instead of $127.

For anyone thinking of becoming a travel blogger, this will be the perfect platform for you to learn everything you need to know and get your foot into the industry. It’ll teach you all the technical tools and marketing skills to help you get your foot into the industry.

Start: 12:00 a.m. (Eastern time), Friday, November 24, 2017
End: 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time), Monday, November 27, 2017

Website Hosting Service

My hosting company Siteground is offering 70% off on all annual shared hosting plans from November 24 to 27, 2017! I changed hosting to Siteground in 2016 and only have praises for them. Their service is definitely the best I’ve experienced (of the 3 companies I’ve used) — they always responded promptly to all my tech issues and acted swiftly to help me get my site back up. Trust me, when you make a living from your website, you want a company that you can easily reach and talk to in times of emergency.

EXPERIENCES

One of my favorite companies, Tinggly, is also offering great discounts on their gift boxes. Their gift boxes make perfect Christmas gifts for people who like adventures and travel. You can choose from hundreds of experiences from around the world, from bungee jumping in Australia to hot air ballooning over the Serengeti or cooking classes in Thailand.
