About

Amber in New England

Hey! I’m Amber, a Connecticut-based hiker and traveler who spends most of my time exploring New England and New York—though I never say no to an adventure a little farther from home.

I started this blog to share my love for the outdoors and (hopefully) inspire you to get outside, chase some epic views, and discover new places along the way.

Stick around—there’s always more to explore!

Let’s work together

HIKING

Hiking is my absolute favorite thing to do. I love to visit new places and heights. Something about being in nature makes me feel the happiest.

VACATIONS

I know I'm not alone when I say, I love going on vacation. Disconnecting and relaxing in a totally new state or country excites me, I love to explore new places.

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

Since I was little, I loved to take photos and edit them. In the past, I mostly used my Samsung Galaxy Note 22 Ultra, but I recently got my hands on a Sony A7ii and look forward to creating!

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 Switzerland and if I am lucky, somewhere tropical! For hikes, I have an ever growing list of places to go. I am hoping to hike around New England and New York to catch all the fall foliage.

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.
