Lungis and speedos; How to be at your fashionable best while on Holiday in Goa

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, January 21, 2020

“Has anyone seen my lungi?” There is clothing scattered all over our beachside cottage, toiletry bags overflowing with sunscreen and hand sanitizer in our cramped bathroom and I can’t seem to find my boyfriend’s lungi anywhere. How the hell does a traveler lose a lungi in a room the size of a shoebox? You may …

The year 2020 has dawned with snow glittering like diamonds in our pine forests as I hauled my fat ass up mountain passes and through the snowy forest. I was a sweaty mess and trying desperately to get back into shape. It was the very beginning of 2020 and I knew keto was going to …

Curried Shrimp Soup over Riced Broccoli

By Amber Woods on Friday, January 3, 2020

I used to buy store-bought curry powder like everyone else. Hell, I have even purchased store-bought curry sauce once or twice. But that was before I got myself a hot Indian boyfriend. And beyond being hot, he also brought some amazing Anglo-Indian inspired cooking skills to my mountain table. Like teaching me that Indian food …

Happy holidays from the Hungry Mountaineer! It’s thirty degrees outside our mountain town at almost seven thousand feet. The winds are gusting, the sky is a steel grey and there is a storm brewing on the horizon. Feet of snow are expected but not for our family, as we are leaving on a jet plane …

Hike. Jeep. Repeat. Big Bear's only outdoor adventure guide
Amber Woods
Amber Woods

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear Lake’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest. I have basically been out exploring hiking trails and enjoying the wilderness as long as I could walk. I have had some amazing adventures out here in the gorgeous San Bernardino Mountains over the years. As a alpine adventure enabler who is passionate about the wilderness, I love to share my knowledge of our vast trail system with vacationers who also love the great outdoors. Looking to book a hiking excursion? Email me at Hungrymountaineer@gmail.com for the best locals-only hikes available in this mountain wilderness. I am passionate about finding my balance in life – healthy living, great food, outdoor fitness, traveling adventures, working hard and my unbridled love for racehorses and naturally, gambling. When I’m not exploring news trails or betting on the ponies you can find me either coming up with healthy new recipes or blogging about the adventures my trail pup and I had in the wilderness this week. I have spent most of my life exploring what these mountains have to offer and locals would call me an expert and a backcountry Snack Sherpa. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
