How to not travel like a ‘Merican. Let’s Make Overseas Travel Classy Again!

By Amber Woods on Monday, February 3, 2020

We all know that American traveler from Texas, you know the one, with the long blonde extensions and the Texas tramp stamp on her booty, in those low-slung True Religion jeans. She probably just cut in line with her travel companions at Costa Coffee and then in a demanding twangy Fort Worth accent ordered a …

Surviving the Venice Bird Flu of 2020

By Amber Woods on Monday, January 27, 2020

When we planned our trip to Venice in 2019, I was envisioning plates of hot Cicchetti Tapas filled with eggplant and hopefully some goat cheese. Or maybe delicious espresso coffee drinks and raisin filled zeppole just like the ones I had in February 2002 when I roamed Venice’s alleys and canals with six friends. In …

Holcomb Creek and the Beavers

By Amber Woods on Thursday, January 23, 2020

It seems crazy to me that I only knew Johnnie for ten years. I only had ten years of friendship, so many laughs, drinking beers at Hollywood Park and watching Zenyatta run, eating tacos at Los Alamitos Race Course, training for half marathons and trail running all the trails around Green Valley Lake. Alicia and …

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 20 Best Keto Recipes of 2020

By Amber Woods on Sunday, January 12, 2020

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 …

About Me

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest and 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 hiking guide 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. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures in my blog on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
