Meet Amber: Your Expert Guide to New England Trails and Global Adventures

The Mission:

I'm a Connecticut-based hiker who's spent years testing gear and planning unique itineraries so you don't have to. I'm here to give you the honest, proven advice needed to make your next adventure safe and unforgettable.

Let’s work together

HIKING

My focus is on trail safety, gear endurance (tested across 4+ years), and mastering high-altitude climbs

VACATIONS

I specialize in building detailed, unique itineraries for destinations like Iceland and the Bahamas (Atlantis), covering everything from budget to lodging.

DAY & WEEKEND TRIPS

Getting away for the day or over a long weekend is the perfect refresher. I try to squeeze a short trip in every chance I get!

PHOTOGRAPHY

I capture my travels using a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and a Sony A7ii to ensure you get high-quality visual guides and stunning inspiration for your next trip

More about my hikes and travels

Favorite Places I've Hiked Or Traveled To

My all time favorite hike was Franconia Ridge Trail. We backpacked up Liberty Springs Trail and camped, then in the morning we hiked the ridge-line back My favorite travel location is Iceland! My husband and I visited for 11 days and it didn't even scratch the surface on how much there is to see. We look forward to going back one day and exploring more.

Places I Have Lined Up To Hike Or Travel To

I have an intense need to have future travels and hikes planned. I need something to look forward to and to work towards. That said, my upcoming travels will include Sicily and if I am lucky, somewhere in the UK! For hikes, I have an ever growing list of places to go. I would love to tackle more of the NH48 or the ADK46.

Bucket List Hikes And Travel Locations

This list could go on and on, basically everywhere and anywhere is on my bucket list. If I had to narrow it down, my top spots to travel to would be the Almafi Coast in Italy and Moraine Lake in Alberta, Canada. My bucketlist hikes would be Tuckerman's Ravine to Mount Washington and Mount Katahdin in Maine.
