About Me

Wandering through Copenhagen Denmark
Wandering through Copenhagen Denmark

Hey there! I’m Jodi Ausland—founder of Wandering Company and your new favorite travel advisor.

Wandering Company was sparked by a simple truth: travel isn’t just about checking places off a list—it’s about collecting moments. The kind that stop you in your tracks, expand your heart, and turn into the stories you’ll tell for years to come.

I’ve been a wanderer all my life—30 countries and counting — always chasing the magic hidden in every corner of the world, from buzzing metropolises to quiet, soulful hideaways.

And now?

I’m here to help you find that same kind of magic. You’re the reason Wandering Company exists.

With my obsession for the details, passion for adventure, and calm-in-the-chaos energy, I’m here to make your travel dreams smooth, soulful, and stress-free. Whether you’re craving a once-in-a-lifetime getaway, a deep dive into culture, or a breezy break that feels like a breath of fresh air — I'm in your corner, ready to bring it all to life. 

Let’s go find your next “wow” moment. I’m so glad you’re here.

 

Ready to explore the world and make new friends?
