I’m Billy, otherwise known as “Bucket Man,” having engaged in a lifelong mad pursuit to squeeze as much as I can (on a tight budget!) into a single lifetime. That’s my wife, Trish (“Wander Woman“) above. Together, we spend our free time trying to figure out how to get a few more checks on our very long Bucket List. We’re mastering the art of amassing frequent flier and guest points from credit cards, finding freak travel discounts or last-minute travel opportunities, and even ways to barter with overseas travel agents for better deals. We’ll share all of these tricks and hacks with you, and even email you the best travel deals on Earth the moment we find them, and before they go away!
