More than just an Instagram photo: a Filipina-American's attempt to live a good story by chasing new horizons, trails to traverse, and pushing her own limits.

April On The Go
From trails to travels: sharing gear guides, tips, resources, and stories from my adventures in hopes to inspire your own
I'm not an expert but I do love learning and sharing what I have experienced.
I stumbled into the world of outdoor adventures a bit later than some, and it's been a wild ride learning everything as an adult. This is my space to share more about my experiences that are often lost with the quick upload to social media.
Through stories of my celebrations, mishaps, and vulnerability, I hope to inspire and empower you to try new things and explore beyond your comfort zone, one adventure at a time.
Thanks for being here!
In the past five years, I've tried Whale Sashimi in Tokyo, water-logged my phone in taiwan, taken friends with me to Summit & then watch sunrise from Mount Fuji in Japan, and fought for every breath to climb the tallest mountain in the western hemisphere.
And I would've missed out on all of these if I let the fear of the unknown keep me from trying new things outside of my comfort zone.

Hi, I'm April!
I didn't grow up spending time outdoors, climbing mountains, or traveling; I learned how to "play outside" as an adult. So, I get what it's like to start something new or later in life.
After spending over a decade in the US Army, you could say that I've learned how to step confidently into unknown environments. Now, I've used that skill into exploring the world around me and letting my inner child have fun learning how to play outside - in the mountains, on the trails, and in the water.
My goal is to help other beginners feel comfortable trying new activities and starting their own adventures. I hope my journey inspires you to take that first step into the unknown and maybe fall in love with exploring and become comfortable with being uncomfortable, just like I did.
