Samantha Brown of The Travel Channel

My second post for the day, and it's time for something different. I'm thinking about... travelling. And my favorite travel host, Samantha Brown.

First vid, she's renting an entire villa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.




And next, in a much less luxurious setting, she goes hunting for nacatamales in Granada, Nicaragua.




And back into the lap of luxury: The Saint Regis in New York City. A good host such as Sam Brown blends in well in the backwaters as well as in a classy backdrop.




In one episode Sam told a story of a shipwreck. She pointed to the place where it happened, where now stood a lighthouse. I don't remember the details of the story well, but I think a couple died in the wreck and their baby washed ashore in a basket (or bassinet). She went on to say that that baby was found and picked up by a man who raised it up. "And that baby was me," she ended the story. I totally was taken by surprise by that ending, so much so that I still wonder if I really heard what I thought I heard. And imagine, after having gone through such a harrowing experience as a baby, she grew up to be such a well balanced and lovely lady with such a great personality.


In my last video on Samantha Brown, we see her on the Great Wall of China.




I title it, "Sam's Fall at the Great Wall." What a wonderful sense of humor she has.
