Hey, I’m Olivia! I’m the writer and photographer behind My Wandering Voyage travel blog. My mission is to help full-time working millennials wander adventurously through trip planning advice, destination inspiration and photography tips. Since 2013, I’ve been using up every ounce of my vacation time from working as a Communications Officer for a university in Ontario, Canada to explore and photograph the world.
I'm an avid hiker and camper, so one of my goals is to visit all operating Ontario Provincial Parks. 62 down, 54 to go!

There’s a warning that comes with listening to The Left-Right Game podcast: “Use caution if operating a motor vehicle as it may seem like sounds are coming from … behind you.”
After hearing that warning for the first time I thought, “What am I getting myself into?”
