OFFICIAL BIO:
Amber J Baldwin is a writer, creator, and entrepreneur best known for her YouTube channel, where she shares thoughtful stories and reflections about intentional living, personal growth, and creating a meaningful life.
Amber originally founded the brand Story Chasing in 2017 while traveling full-time across the United States. What began as a creative outlet documenting life on the road grew into a YouTube channel with over 105,000 subscribers and a community drawn to her honest storytelling and reflective approach to life.
In 2026, Amber rebranded her work under her own name, Amber J Baldwin, marking a shift from travel-focused content to a broader exploration of everyday life, slower living, creativity, and the personal lessons that come with building a life outside conventional expectations.
Before becoming a full-time creator, Amber spent over 30 years working in corporate finance and accounting. That background in business and entrepreneurship continues to influence her work as she shares insights about building a sustainable creative life and pursuing meaningful change at any stage of adulthood.
Today, Amber creates videos, writing, and projects that encourage people to slow down, live more intentionally, and pursue lives that feel honest and aligned.

EVENTS & MEDIA MENTIONS:
BBC MUNDO
After the incredible attention of the movie “Nomadland”, Beatriz DĂez from BBC Mundo, reached out to me to discuss a different angle of RV life, which is why some of us choose this lifestyle as a full-time nomad. Turns out Beatriz had seen my videos on my YouTube channel and was very curious. She interviewed me along with Bob Wells from Cheap RV Living, who was featured in the Nomadland, to show the balance of the two different types of nomads in this community.
HEALTH MAGAZINE
I was so excited back in the early fall of 2020 when Health Magazine approached me for their January/February 2021 issue dubbed “The Change Issue”.
The article they featured me in is all about making a meaningful change in your life and creating an incredible transformation. I feel so honored to have been chosen amongst 2 other women – one went from human resources to making wine, and the other, a mental health activist who created the People of Color & Mental Illness Photo Project.
CURBED
Andrew Zaleski from Curbed reached out to me a couple of months after COVID hit hard in the United States to discuss the topic of how life has changed traveling in a van and being a good neighbor.
As a full-time traveling nomad, life has certainly changed and we had to adapt during this time to social distancing.
CURBED
Recently I got the chance to share my story with Megan from Curbed about living in a camper van with the COVID-19 outbreak.
