Greetings Friends,
Welcome to The Ecstatic Wanderer Substack.
My name is April and I am a writer, wanderer, and photographer. I live in a van called Firefly and travel the US and Canada.
Here you will find weekly stories, essays, and photo diaries from my wandering life through North America. I write about my journey to find a home within myself, walking the Artist’s Path, and travel as a spiritual practice.
My nomadic life began in early 2020 just prior to the pandemic shut-down, when I left a long-term relationship and beloved home in New Orleans that no longer fit who I was becoming. I set off on a journey to Mexico to learn Spanish, but ended up in the American West, where I found a part of myself that completely surprised me: a solo camper, woman of the wilderness, and someone who desperately needed to claim the home within herself.
I am currently working on a memoir about my nomadic years in North America.
