Built On Experience — And A Love For the Outdoors
Hi, I’m Amber — a wildlife scientist and travel advisor specializing in nature-centered travel.
With degrees in Environmental Science and Wildlife & Fisheries Resources, and years exploring wild places from Maryland’s coasts to Alaska’s backcountry, I design trips around the seasons, wildlife, and landscapes that make each adventure unforgettable.
I handle every detail — logistics, bookings, timing, and expert recommendations — so you can focus on being fully present in the outdoors, whether that’s watching wildlife, hiking remote trails, or enjoying a quiet wilderness escape.
Trip Planning for the Outdoors, and Beyond
Most Tide and Timber Travel itineraries are rooted in nature like fishing charters, wildlife watching, or laid-back weekend escapes.
If you’re dreaming of something a little different (like a tropical family cruise, honeymoon, bachelor/bachelorette trip, football game weekend, or a theme park vacation) Tide and Timber Travel offers trip planning for that too. You’ll still receive thoughtful guidance and trusted recommendations, just with planning that better suits those kinds of adventures.
