Lubbock Travel Experts for Unforgettable Trips

Lindsay’s insatiable wanderlust is what inspired her to found Foerster Travel in 2012. Why a travel agency? Her hope was to help others experience the joy of exploring new cultures, indulging in exotic foods and meeting new friends. Though her original vision was to keep her company super-small (as in, just her), her travel services were in such high demand that she soon welcomed a team of top travel professionals.

Lindsay has been recognized as a top travel expert in the industry winning many awards on the agency level and as an advisor herself. When she isn't sitting behind her desk, she is most likely traveling to far off destinations. To date, she has been to every state in the United States except Maine and Rhode Island, and she has visited 70 countries. Some of her favorites (in no particular order) include Italy, Spain, and Costa Rica.

Outside of work, Lindsay most enjoys spending time with her son, Tagen, family, and good friends. She is an alumus of Texas Tech University, and a proud supporter of Red Raider athletics, too!

Wendy has a true passion for travel and loves helping her clients create unforgettable memories! As an experienced travel advisor with Foerster Travel, she specializes in destination weddings and honeymoons, but also enjoys planning anniversary celebrations, family vacations, and just about any getaway that gives her clients something exciting to look forward to.

Wendy believes that no two vacations should be exactly alike. She takes the time to get to know her clients, understand what they are looking for, and help them find the perfect destination and experience. Whether it's a romantic honeymoon, a relaxing beach vacation, an Alaskan cruise, or a fun-filled family adventure, she loves making the planning process as easy and stress-free as possible.

Over the years, Wendy has earned several travel industry certifications, including WOW Certified, Certified Sandals and WeddingMoon Specialist, Certified Disney Specialist, Viking River Cruise Specialist, Master Agent with AM Resorts, Certified Carnival Cruise Line Specialist, Seabourn Cruise Specialist, and Certified Travel Associate (CTA).

One of her proudest professional accomplishments is earning her Certified Travel Associate (CTA) designation through The Travel Institute. This certification represents her dedication to continuing education, staying knowledgeable about the travel industry, and providing her clients with the best possible service. Wendy believes there is always something new to learn in travel, and she loves being able to put that knowledge to work for her clients.

When she's not busy planning vacations, Wendy enjoys spending time with her family. She is happily married to her best friend! She is a proud mom of three daughters, including one who served in the United States Navy, and has two bonus sons and two bonus daughters. She is also a very proud grandmother (“Wee”) to a beautiful granddaughter and grandson!

Wendy absolutely loves a beautiful beach and a luxury resort, but she also enjoys escaping to the mountains, especially during the winter months. Of all the places she has traveled, Emerald Bay in Exuma, Bahamas, holds the top spot on her favorites list, with Alaska coming in a very close second!

For Wendy, being a travel advisor is about so much more than booking a trip. It's about building relationships, taking care of the little details, and helping her clients make memories that will last a lifetime. She truly enjoys getting to know her travelers and being someone they can count on, from the first conversation until they return home.

Her favorite part? Helping turn someone's dream vacation into a reality!

A Little About Me

Family is at the heart of everything I do. I have been married to my husband, Phil, for over 27 years. After 28 years with AT&T, he retired and began a new career as an independent health insurance broker. I am the proud mother of three children. My oldest daughter, Addison, is married and works as a Certified Public Accountant with KPMG in Fort Worth, Texas. My youngest daughter, Terrah, is an educator in Lubbock, Texas. My son, Hunter, who I was blessed to have for 19 years, remains forever in my heart. His memory continues to remind me how precious life is and how important it is to embrace new experiences and make memories with the people we love.

I treasure spending time with my family, whether we are at home or exploring somewhere new together. That love of making memories is also what inspires me in my work every day.

What I love most about the travel industry is that there is always something new to learn, another destination to discover, and another opportunity to help someone experience something extraordinary. For me, travel is about so much more than reaching a destination. It is about celebrating milestones, spending quality time together, discovering new cultures, and creating stories you will share for years to come.

I would love the opportunity to help you plan your next adventure and make memories that last a lifetime!

My name is Kagan Holifield. I am a Texas native having been born and raised in Mineral Wells. I moved to Lubbock in 2015 and lived there until I decided to travel with my now husband for work. We traveled all over West Texas, South Texas, New Mexico, and Florida. That’s where my passion for travel really started.

We currently live in Mineral Wells on 5 acres with our 6 year old little boy, our 3 goats, and our dogs. Our son, Jaxson, took his first trip at 5 months old to Punta Cana and has been traveling alongside his dad and I ever since. Our tradition when traveling is to get a memorable magnet to display on our fridge. We have collected magnets from Punta Cana, Riviera Maya, London, San Diego, Universal Studios Orlando, and Disney World, and a Disney Cruise. We have also visited many states all over the United States. Over the years of traveling I have gained an abundance of knowledge and many helpful tips and tricks that I can’t wait to share, no matter where your trip may take you.

In my spare time I can be found at the lake or baseball field, and always with a book in my hand.

I can’t wait to help you plan your next trip and make the absolute most out of it, whether it be for business or leisure!
