Stagione 1
How I got Started In Travel
di Jason Jason Boull: Luxury Travel Expert & Podcast Host
✈️ About This Episode In this first-ever episode of the Boullies Travel podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the real story of how and why I started my travel business. From a career in customer service and the Royal Navy to building a travel brand that’s personal, passionate, and purpose-driven — this is the journey that brought me here. If you’ve ever wondered what makes Boullies Travel different, or you’re just curious about what goes on behind the scenes of a modern travel consultancy, this is the perfect place to start. 🧭 What I Cover The real reason I left behind the world of “just getting by” to build something meaningful Why I believe travel isn’t just about ticking off destinations — it’s about creating stories How my own struggles with holiday planning shaped the Boullies experience What I learned from serving in the Royal Navy that still drives me today The mission behind Boullies Travel and where it’s headed next 💬 Key Quote “Before I started in travel, I was too busy and too overwhelmed by too many choices to actually book a holiday. Now, I help people like that find their perfect trip – without the stress.” 🎒 Why This Matters This episode is more than a backstory — it’s a foundation. Whether you're a parent planning your next family holiday, a cruise-lover looking for deeper experiences, or someone who just wants to feel taken care of, you’ll hear why Boullies Travel exists to serve you. 🔗 Links & Resources Learn more about Boullies Travel: www.boullies.com Follow Jason on Instagram: @boulliestravel Got a question or want to feature on a future episode?

Tomorrow morning at 8:30am, P&O Cruises opens pre-registration for the Summer 2028 collection — and the people who know the industry best will already be logged in, ready to book. Here's why. Booking at launch isn't just about saving money — it's about getting the best version of the holiday before anyone else can touch it. Danielle Dry has spent 28 years in travel, personally sells P&O launches every single year, and is about to take her eighth P&O cruise. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on what really happens on launch day and why waiting costs you more than you think. What you'll learn in Part 1: Why P&O is one of the only cruise lines in the world that gives agents early access — and what that means for you The real difference between launch-day pricing and "fluid pricing" (with a live example of a couple who missed out on over £1,000) Why early birds don't just get the cheaper cabin — they get the better holiday How multi-generational families use launch day to lock in accessible cabins, connecting rooms and prime locations before they vanish What makes P&O uniquely suited to the British market — from the food and entertainment down to the plug sockets The hidden value of booking through a personal travel agent at launch (spoiler: you pay exactly the same price) Who this episode is for: Anyone planning a 2028 holiday, repeat P&O guests wondering whether launch-day hype is real, first-time cruisers weighing up their options, and multi-generational family organisers who need to get the logistics right. This is Part 1 of a two-part special. Part 2 goes deeper into the Summer 2028 itineraries, the payment window strategy, and exactly what to do in the next 24 hours if you want in. ⏱ Chapters (YouTube / Spotify timestamps) 00:00 — Welcome & why this episode matters 00:34 — Meet Danielle Dry: 28 years in travel, 8 P&O cruises and counting 02:36 — What is P&O pre-registration, and why should you care? 04:43 — Why P&O gives agents early access (and no other cruise line does it this way) 06:30 — The hype around launch day: is it actually justified? 07:39 — Real example: how one couple missed out on £1,000+ by waiting 08:58 — Early birds get the better cruise, not just the cheaper one 10:15 — What makes P&O the perfect cruise line for the British market 13:17 — The little things that matter: British plugs, British humour, British hospitality 13:59 — "Why not just book direct?" — the honest answer 15:55 — When things go wrong: why a travel agent matters most in a crisis 18:52 — Coming up in Part 2
