Who Am I?
Hi! My name is April. I love romance and I love to travel!
Over the past 30 years, I’ve had the opportunity to visit and live all over the world.
During my travels, I met hundreds of couples who fell in love and were exploring the planet together. I, too, have dated (and for several years, was married to) a man I met abroad.
Today, with the huge explosion of online dating sites you no longer have to hope that you might meet someone at your local coffee shop; your soulmate can be anywhere in the world!
But this site isn’t only about my journey to find love; it’s a place where singles and people in relationships can share their stories about romance and travel, long-distance love, solo traveler safety tips, travel hacking, budget tips and tricks, and “catfish” confessions where people share their embarrassing yet often hilarious experiences with online dating disasters.
