All is correct except what I've marked in bold below:

April… HAVE TRAVELLED or has traveled …with a film company as a design assistant since late summer, so she …has been often or HAS OFTEN BEEN …too busy to answer her phone or even call Trisha back.

To choose the correct options, let's break down the sentence and analyze each part:
1. Trisha HASN'T SEEN or didn't see... her best friend April for almost a year.
Since the sentence mentions a time duration ("for almost a year"), we need to use the present perfect tense. Therefore, the correct option is "Trisha hasn't seen."
2. Trisha has call or CALLED... as often as possible as... SHE TRAVELED or was traveled...
Here, we need to choose the correct form of the verb "call" and the correct past tense verb to describe Trisha's action in the past. The correct options are "called" and "she traveled."
3. ...but often she and April... DIDN'T or not... connect.
We need to choose the correct negative form to describe the lack of connection between Trisha and April. The correct option is "didn't."
4. April... HAVE TRAVELLED or has traveled... with a film company as a design assistant since late summer,
The sentence mentions a specific time period ("since late summer"), indicating a continuous action in the past that is still relevant in the present. Therefore, the correct option is "has traveled."
5. ...so she... has been often or HAS OFTEN BEEN... too busy to answer her phone or even call Trisha back.
To describe the frequency of April being busy, we need to use the correct adverb form. The correct option is "has often been."
6. Then, when Trisha got to London, she... was running or RAN... into April in the lobby of a hotel.
The sentence describes an action that happened in the past when Trisha arrived in London, so the correct option is "ran."
7. A week later in Turkey the same thing... HAPPENED or has happened...
The sentence refers to a past event that occurred after the previous event. Therefore, the correct option is "happened."
8. Since then, they... HAVE BUMPED or bumped... into each other in hotels in 14 more cities!
The sentence implies a continuing action in the present, so the correct option is "have bumped."
To summarize the correct options:
1. Trisha hasn't seen
2. Trisha called, she traveled
3. didn't
4. has traveled
5. has often been
6. ran
7. happened
8. have bumped
