Meet Wandering Company

Jodi Ausland, Owner & Travel Advisor

Travel isn’t just about checking places off a bucket list—it’s about feeling alive in them. 

But let’s be real—before the magic happens, there’s the planning. And let’s face it, planning a trip can sometimes feel like assembling IKEA furniture… without the instructions. Flights, hotels, excursions—where do you even start? One wrong turn and suddenly you’re on an 18-hour layover in an airport with questionable sandwiches.

I know the struggle all too well. I used to spend hours crafting the perfect trip for myself, obsessing over every detail to make sure every experience was unforgettable. Then, one day, I realized something: I loved planning trips almost as much as I loved taking them. I am fortunate to have turned my passion for travel turned into a mission—to help others turn their dream destinations into reality, without the stress and confusion.

So go ahead—daydream about sipping cocktails on a beach or trekking through the Amazon. I’ll handle the logistics. You just pack your bags and get ready to make some epic memories.
