About Me

I’m a California native who has spent the last 6 years exploring the world. After college, I backpacked around New Zealand for year, spent 8 months volunteering and traveling in Southeast Asia, and worked for a year in Australia. During that time I was volunteering on farms using helpx.net and finding odd jobs to pay my way. Then I leveled up and worked as an English teacher in Japan for two years through the JET program. My next goal was to learn Spanish and travel in Europe, so I taught English for three years in Spain with the Cultural Ambassador Program. I left Spain during the pandemic and attended the Teacher Education Program at UC Santa Barbara for my teaching credential and Masters in Education. Last year I taught 3rd grade in Colombia. This year (2024) I’ve been substitute teaching in Santa Barbara. Next year I’m headed to teach 3rd grade at an American School in Monterrey, Mexico!

My YouTube Channel is youtube.com/ambertraveling. Check out my original song I Am Powerful filmed in and written for my elementary school students in Malaga, Spain. Another one of my originals for kids is The Five Senses Song. I also have lots of covers of songs like California by Joni Mitchell and Kiss Me More by Doja Cat!
