A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m April
I’m a hobbyist photographer, obsessive trip planner, and outdoor explorer with a habit of turning every vacation into a very detailed itinerary. Typically, it’s a vacation you need a vacation from.
Mapped by April is where I share the places I go, the things I create, and everything I pick up along the way, from road trips and national parks to photography, creative projects, and the occasional appearance from my cats.
I’m here for beautiful places, useful travel plans, and figuring out what was actually worth the detour.
CURRENTLY EXPLORING
13 Days Through Central Europe
GERMANY · FRANCE · AUSTRIA · SWITZERLAND
From storybook towns and Black Forest roads to Alpine peaks and Swiss valleys, we spent 13 days road-tripping our way through four countries, with a very detailed itinerary.
I’m breaking down the entire trip: where we stayed, what we booked ahead, the stops that were actually worth it, and what I’d do differently next time.
