About My Wandering Voyage

Hey, I’m Olivia!

The writer and photographer behind My Wandering Voyage

At the heart of it all, I’m a storyteller. I’ve worked in the news and media industry for over a decade and have loved meeting so many incredible people and telling their story, through words and photos. I’m used to spending hours and hours on research and planning, and so I’ve combined my love of photography, storytelling, and travel to bring you My Wandering Voyage, a blog to help you discover what it means to live adventurously.

As a professional photographer and writer, I pair high-quality photos with detailed guides to help you plan your next great escape, whether it’s a weekend getaway or 10-day trip or a camping excursion in the backcountry. I bring my love for tiny living to showcase some of the world’s most unique accommodations and share my journey in building my own tiny home. With a camera in hand, I share my love of photography so that you can capture your adventures so that you have incredible memories to look back on.

Get to know me

🌲 I studied Journalism and have worked in communications for over 10 years, now I’m an adventure wedding photographer!

🌲 I’ve been taking photos forever, and my camera has travelled with me to every country I’ve been to. ⁠

🌲 I love finding unique places to stay and great places to enjoy a meal with a view.

🌲 I have a goal of visiting every provincial park in Ontario

🌲 And a goal to visit every continent on Earth. 3/7

🌲 My favourite destination I've been to is the Galapagos

🌲 While I love outdoor adventures, like hiking and camping, I also love to curl up with a good book, especially books that are set in the places I’ve visited.

Let’s back up a bit. How did I get here?

I signed up for wordpress.com and launched my blog - My Wandering Voyage - to keep my family updated about all the fun things I was up to on my first solo trip to Greece after graduating from university. I kept writing as I moved to Alberta and back to Ontario.

2016

I made it official by purchasing my domain and hiring a friend to design what would be the first of three design iterations of My Wandering Voyage. I wrote about my travels through the Galapagos and several European countries.

2021

I officially started my photography business, Wild Peach Photography, to meld my two favourite things: weddings and travel. I photograph weddings and adventure elopements in Canada and abroad.

After taking two years off from blogging, I took a hard look at my goals and decided to rebrand focusing on what I love - the outdoors, photography and, of course, travel.
