About
Hello, fellow wanderers! I'm Layne—I'm a writer, a remote product operations executive, and a professional vagabond—travelling a lot of the time since 2000, most of the time since 2014,
and full time since the end of 2015.
By "travelling full time," I mean that I don't have a permanent homebase. I have a suitcase, a rucksack, and a handbag. Everything I own fits in one of those vessels and moves with me every 2-12 weeks. So far I've lived on all seven continents in 57 countries and counting!
Over the years, I've learned how to make good money while I wander, and how to travel lavishly without the extravagant price tag. I started Wanderluxed to share my strategies with everyone else who longs to travel in style.
My online travel hacking courses will teach you everything I know. Check them out here! I also publish free content on my Facebook, Instagram and TikTok pages, and you can shop my travel store for all the best gear. Check out my interview with The Professional Hobo to get a good sense of how I've designed my own lifestyle and how I make it work financially.
Welcome!

Qualifications
Why am I qualified to teach travel training courses?

I also have seven years of experience building large globally distributed teams of 50+ people for tech companies.
