Most travel books take you to the obvious places: New York. Miami. Mount Rushmore. The Grand Canyon. Others will drag you down dusty backroads, up scenic hiking trails, or even across the country in a tiny single-engine plane fueled by beef jerky and hubris.
This one, however, is different.
It’s the only travel book that takes you inside.
Inside the living rooms, laundry rooms, garages, and basements of America—where our national quirks actually live. Because you can’t understand a country until you’ve opened its junk drawer, stood barefoot on its sticky kitchen linoleum, and asked yourself: “Why, exactly, do we have a kitchen fridge, a garage fridge, a basement freezer, and a ‘beer fridge’ on the deck?' At a moment when the country is deeply divided over identity, resources, and belonging, our homes tell the truth we won’t say out loud. From basements full of bottled water to sprawling master suites big enough to house a family of six in Europe, AMERICAN PEOPLE'S HOUSES isn’t just a book about how we decorate or where we live. It’s a cultural X-ray of the American psyche, using the home as the lens to understand who we are, what we value, and why we’re collectively a little… unhinged.

New!
I grew up in a trailer park in rural America with a mom whose anxiety disorder meant she couldn’t always leave the house. Not exactly a setup that screams future author, speaker, and international businesswoman. But that’s the point. The Middle Finger Project isn’t about having the perfect pedigree—it’s about refusing to let your origin story dictate your future. From $26 in a K-Mart parking lot to building a multi-million-dollar writing business, publishing with Penguin Random House, traveling the world for 15+ years as a digital nomad, landing on endless podcasts for creatives, and speaking on stages from London to Costa Rica, I’m proof you don’t need a trust fund, a mentor, or a “plan.” What you need is the guts to flip off the rules, silence the doubt, and make a run for the life you actually want. Equal parts memoir, survival manual, and smart-mouthed pep talk, this book is your permission slip to stop waiting and start creating—right now.
