Amber Staples, Owner of Tide and Timber Travel
Hi, I’m Amber! I’m a lifelong nature and adventure lover, born and raised in Maryland and now living on the Eastern Shore. With a B.S. in Environmental Science and a Master’s in Wildlife and Fisheries Resources, I’ve spent years exploring, learning about, and working alongside the wildlife and landscapes that make this region so special.
I’ve always been drawn to the outdoors — fishing with family, exploring the Chesapeake Bay, and soaking in every wild space I can find. My professional experience has centered on studying and conserving natural resources, from tagging marine life to long-term field surveys, giving me a deep respect for the environments I love to share with others.
For over eight years, I’ve been planning trips for myself, family, and friends — from Eastern Shore escapes and fishing charters to Alaska adventures, Disney vacations, and coastal getaways up and down the East Coast. I love helping people experience wild places in ways that are seamless, memorable, and deeply connected to nature. Often, I’m the one my friends and family turn to for the best food, activities, and hidden gems while traveling.
Tide + Timber Travel grew out of that love — a way to combine my passion for the outdoors with my knack for planning smooth, stress-free adventures. My goal is to help others explore the natural world while enjoying every moment along the way.
