Amber Medkiff has spent nearly 30 years doing what she loves most: traveling the world and sharing it with others. A seasoned travel director with an insatiable curiosity, she is especially drawn to remote destinations, fascinating cultures, and experiences beyond the usual tourist trail. She has traveled extensively across nearly every continent and countless countries, yet says that no matter how many times she returns to a place, it still feels like the first time.

Amber’s greatest joy is sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm with travelers and finding ways to make each journey feel personal and unexpected. She loves uncovering special experiences—from a private winery visit in Italy to a traditional blessing at an Indian ashram or access to a remarkable private art collection in Japan. She is equally passionate about food and the way local cuisine offers a window into a destination’s culture. Amber is also available to accompany private journeys, bringing her extensive destination knowledge and enthusiasm for creating memorable, highly personal experiences to trips designed around her guests’ interests.

When she’s not traveling, Amber can often be found practicing yoga or hiking the mountains near her home north of San Francisco. She has even been known to teach yoga classes and lead hikes while on the road.
