The PVR Story
Welcome to Plan·Voyage·Repeat, your trusted source for practical travel advice, personalized planning, and actionable guidance and resources to make travel enjoyable and repeatable— plan, voyage, repeat!
Hi, I'm Olivia!
The founder of Plan·Voyage·Repeat, I'm a passionate traveler who loves crafting experience-focused voyages almost as much as taking them. Originally from California, I’ve been exploring the world for over 12 years and spent six of those living in the UK while completing my M.A. and Ph.D. in International Relations. Since 2022, I’ve been splitting my time between California and Europe, working my job in higher education remotely and taking every opportunity to explore new places along the way.
Travel has always been more than a hobby for me. From solo getaways to trips with friends and family, I’ve experienced firsthand how travel can expand our perspectives and shape who we are. Experiential travel—travel that’s thoughtful, immersive, and personal—has taught me so much about the world and contributed to personal growth and discovery. I value a mix of exploring the main sights and popular destinations, with off-the-beaten-path slow travel and deeper cultural immersion.
After over a decade of being the go-to planner for friends and family, I created Plan·Voyage·Repeat to share the tools, strategies, and honest insights I wish I had when I was starting out. I believe every voyager deserves to craft experiences that reflect their own style, interests, and rhythm—not ones based on someone else’s trip or a generic one-size-fits-all itinerary. That’s why PVR is all about helping you find freedom through structure, adventure through intention, and inspiration without the overwhelm.
If you’re a fellow experience-focused voyager seeking meaningful adventures, and clear, personalized planning support—you’re in the right place to plan, voyage, repeat!
