Hey, I’m Olivia.

I’m the writer and photographer behind My Wandering Voyage. I’ve always been somewhat of a traveller, taking my first trip when I was just five weeks old! Over the years, I rediscovered my love of adventure and travel and a passion for photography, slowly stepping outside my comfort zone to become who I am now: a girl who loves to document her adventures.

On My Wandering Voyage, you’ll find a collection of travel guides, photography inspiration and a sprinkle of unconventional living. If you love to add a dash of adventure to your travels, you’re in the right place.

x Olivia
