Founder
NYC
Love Lust or Bust is a community where those who love to travel and travel for love can share stories of adventure, love, lust and passion. The site is filled with travel tips, advice on maintaining long distance relationships, great date ideas, and wedding traditions and cultures around the world.

April Hope has led the NYC Women's Writing Workshop for over 15 years. When not inspiring (cajoling) women to share their secrets, insisting that surely she isn't the only one who once sang karaoke naked in order to be included on a press trip (which turned out to be at a naturist resort), she writes about fleeing the frigid New York winters to explore places that have not yet been spoiled by her or other travel bloggers blabbing about how great they are.

She enjoys sneaking into First Class after paying one penny for flights. Except that one time when she bragged about it to her seatmate who turned out to be an off duty pilot. (Awkward.) She has slept under the stars at a Bedouin gypsy camp in Egypt where the scent of camel dung mingled with marijuana, and she scored a camel whip by a devout Muslim who admitted that he and his wife actually used it for S&M scenes. She bull***ted her way into a job on a Bollywood film as a casting director by convincing the director that she was the most qualified person for the position, (and assured him that yes, she was best friends with Michael Jackson) which required her to hire 200 men to play British soldiers. But coincidentally, Mikey had just changed his number. And she lived in a cave with a secret rastafarian commune on a mountain in Kingston. But that didn't last long when she found out that there would be no jerk chicken or oxtail dinners. She was, however, thrilled to learn that rasta women don't shave their legs.

She's gotten into trouble in many other countries as well, but you can read about those on www.lovelustorbust.com.
