Hi! I’m Amber, a Certified Independent Travel Advisor with FORA Travel. I have connections with top hotels and travel partners. I’m here to make your trip easier. I handle the planning, bookings, and logistics so you can just focus on enjoying it.

Think of a travel advisor like an interior designer. Sure, you could buy furniture on your own. An interior designer knows the right makers, sources quality pieces, and makes sure everything comes together perfectly.

That’s what I do for travel. You could spend hours searching online, but I know the right partners, compare the details, and make sure your trip feels seamless.

Booking with Tide + Timber Travel means getting a travel advisor, nature lover, and wildlife professional in one. I have over 7 years of experience planning travel across the country including family vacations, dance and sporting events, concerts, and more.

As a biologist, I can provide seasonal and biological information about where you’re traveling. I’m a published scientist and trained in environmental education with multiple environmental education certifications from a masters level degree program including Project Learning Tree, ProjectWILD, and AquaticWILD. I personally grew up spending time outdoors with my family fishing and camping frequently, and truly enjoy discussing nature and wildlife with others.

My goal is making travel, whether local or somewhere new, easier and accessible for everyone.

No — my services are covered by travel partners, so you don’t pay extra. If you’d like full service planning outside of general bookings such as dining reservations, customized interaries, check-ins, and more, those services and descriptions are available here.

Yes, you can! However, I can save you time, get you extras you might not find online, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. By booking with me, you can get VIP treatment – first-hand knowledge, priority room upgrades, preferred rates, hotel credits, and free breakfast. Plus, I can leverage the collective knowledge of a community of travel advisors to curate a unique trip for you.

Online prices can look different depending on the day or the package. I’ll always explain the options so you know what’s included (and what’s not). Some of these rates may not include the perks that you get when booking with me as your travel advisor.

Great! You can be as involved in planning as you like. Bring me what you’ve found, and I’ll set it up, make it smoother, and add the perks. Working with me also provides an extra layer of support if you need assistance with anything trip related.
