Can I use Linux from a portable Hard Drive to use whenever/wherever I need it? (kbin.social)

So if I have my Desktop at home, my personal laptop, and my laptop I use for work/business trips, can I have my own personal Linux setup on a portable drive that I can plug into and boot into from any of my devices? Like a cloud Linux setup, but I'm the cloud. Fear my cumulonimbus rumbles!

Ha - I actually have Windows (WinToGo) dual booting with Ubuntu Budgie on the same usb stick - plus a non-encrypted ntfs partition. The OS partitions are encrypted though given that is portable. Working out the LUKS details and boot partitions was difficult however as there is a serious lack of good information on how to do it successfully.
