Stephanie and Jacob were our first couchsurfing hosts in Perth, Australia.

We were there for one of their weekly parties, an Aussie style barbecue complete with kangaroo! It was pretty yummy too.

 

The next morning James made spinach, cheese & kangaroo scones for everybody!

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. Now I’m at home in Santa Barbara planning my next adventure!

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!

Gracias @parchedemontana por la experiencia ❤️ Throwback - the Lost City hike. Highly recommended!!! Amazing day with @ginabont and Martin! They lead guided hikes with a spiritual component in Pereira. 10/10 recommended! @parchedemontana Un domingo caminando en Pereira, Colombia con @abeike More pictures from the Lost City Hike. I went with the ExpoTour company. We slept in bunks with mosquito nets.  All meals were included - the food was amazing! Add it to your list of things to do when you visit Colombia! 4 days, 70km (43 miles), 14 new friends Estoy muy agradecida por esta vida. Life update: I acknowledge my privilege in being able to do trips like this. Thanks universe, parents, and hard working past self for making my dreams a reality.
