You need at least 2 GB USb disk and then use Startup Disk Creator on Ubuntu

(btw it is the first hit I got on Google when I specified "ubuntu on usb")

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. – Mark Kirby Oct 31 '16 at 10:49

Yes, it is possible. Under Ubuntu, you can launch already installed usb-creator. Under all systems, you can use unetbootin
Note that usb-live is great to test a little and install but it is quite slower.

This answer fail to offer a solution,"USE THIS" should be a comment, not an answer. Please add steps to actually install Ubuntu to the USB. – Mark Kirby Oct 31 '16 at 10:50
