How A Travel Planner Builds Trips You Cannot Google
from You Can't Afford Me Hosted by Samuel Anderson
You can book a trip in minutes, but can you build a trip that actually feels like you? We sit down with Joe Foster, owner of Living Your Bucket Listed Travel, to talk about what separates a basic booking from a true bucket list experience and why the difference shows up when you land, not when you click “confirm.” We get into the real-world value of working with a travel agent or travel planner in the age of Expedia and AI. Joe breaks down how commission is often already built into the price you see online, why an agent can sometimes find better rates, and what happens when a flight, hotel, or excursion goes sideways in a foreign country. His sports analogy says it best: anybody can draw up the play, but you need someone who can make the save when the play breaks. From Italy and Curacao to culture shifts around food quality, customs, and how you’re treated abroad, we talk about travel as perspective, not just entertainment. Joe shares bucket list travel stories like a Rose Bowl trip and a Pro Football Hall of Fame birthday with VIP touches you can’t easily DIY, plus ideas for dream golf trips and golf travel packages. If you’re planning a destination wedding, honeymoon, group travel, or a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, hit play and take notes.
