About Amber
Amber Gibson is a freelance journalist specializing in travel, food, wine and wellness. Originally from Chicago, she studied journalism at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism and began her career covering Chicago's vibrant restaurant and bar scene. After graduating with her broadcast journalism degree, Amber became a true nomad, giving up her apartment and spending 340 nights a year in hotels. Now, she calls Vancouver home when she's not on the road and firmly believes that west coast is the best coast. Her work also appears in Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Bon Appétit, Saveur, Robb Report, Fodor's, USA Today, NBC, NPR and Business Insider. Champagne, dark chocolate and gelato are her greatest weaknesses.
