And one of those giggle-inducing shows happens to be anything by Samantha Brown over on the Travel Channel. I knew when I started seeing her billboards around town (how cute is this photo) that her new season must be coming soon. Which is great, because to be honest, her seasons are so short that just as you start to get into them, they’re over and done with.
Now of course, we all know of my love for Sam. I mean, not only is she adorable, but she comes across as the kind of gal you could be good friends with (according to her blog, she was just here in Santa Barbara filming an episode on my birthday – so bummed I didn’t know). My roomie and I used to watch all of her “Great…” shows whenever we could and lament over how when we grow up, we’d love to be her. I mean seriously, who wouldn’t want to get paid to travel the world and spend time in some of the swankiest hotels (like on her old “Great Hotels” show) or get private tours to some of World’s the most exclusive places.
Due to my love for all things Samantha Brown, I was contacted by her team* to let me know that her new series starts this weekend. All I can say is Woohoo! I’m glad to know she’s back.
If you happen to be a Samantha dork like me, you can follow her on Twitter or fan her up on Facebook.
And let me just say, the folks at Travel Channel totally get social media and how it works with creating community and building relationships. More businesses could benefit from learning this skill.
* I’m telling ya, blogging and tweeting can pay of in ways you never even thought of
Yup, i have a love/hate relationship with Sammy. Love her cuz she’s awesome and has the best job in the world. Hate her for the same reason. 🙂 i so wanted to be her when she did “best spas” or “best beach resorts.” I mean, come on!!!!
Surfergrrls last blog post..Will work for gift cards
Yes! I feel that way about her as well. I think last season, when she got behind the bar in Vegas I really fell for her. I mean, couldn’t you see yourself going on vacation with her and hanging out at the spa?
Funny thing…they actually changed the name of the show slightly and my DVR didn’t record this Saturday. So now I have to catch those two episodes when they repeat later. Weird that they’d change the name and screw with the DVR/Tivo settings like that, but oh well. I’ll just catch it all later.
