The passionate people behind WanderLuxe’s exceptional vacation rental experience

PF

Porter Foulger

Founder & CEO

After years of managing vacation rentals and consulting in the tech world, I launched WanderLuxe with a simple mission: to elevate the vacation rental experience for both homeowners and guests. I saw too many missed details, delayed responses, and inconsistent care—and knew there was a better way.

This is a people business and I love people! But I also love systems—the kind that make it easy to deliver high-end hospitality, protect beautiful homes, and make guests feel truly cared for. WanderLuxe is the result of combining that passion for service with a mindset for process and performance.

When I’m not building better guest experiences, you’ll find me outdoors—skiing powder in the Wasatch, biking mountain trails, or chasing adventure with my wife and our four kids.

Over the years, I’ve supported everything from startups to established teams, which has shaped me into a flexible, detail-oriented, and proactive executive assistant. I genuinely love helping others but I also love systems, structure, and the quiet wins that make a big difference. For me, it’s about bringing both heart and strategy into the work I do.

Christine Joie Samson

Property Manager & STR Virtual Assistant

After leading Airbnb’s Claims Team and managing short-term rentals, I launched my own venture to redefine what property management and virtual assistance can be for vacation rental hosts. I saw firsthand how challenges could derail a guest’s stay—and knew there had to be a smarter, smoother way to support hosts and delight travelers.

This is a people business, and I love connecting with hosts and guests alike. But I also thrive on systems—the kind that streamline operations, protect valuable properties, and create memorable, stress-free experiences for everyone involved. My approach blends hands-on hospitality with efficient processes to deliver consistent, top-tier service.

When I’m not helping hosts elevate their rentals, you’ll find me out exploring nature—whether hiking new trails or discovering hidden gems—bringing that same curiosity and passion to every project I take on.
