Brown was also one of the few women traveling hosts to achieve such success in the field.
In turn, she showedwomen that although there are difficult places to travel alone, it is possible.
In a 2023 interview withPeople, Brown acknowledged her importance to women throughout her decades-long career.
Speaking of gifts, it’s been a gift to watch Brown’s star continue to shine.
This is the stunning transformation of Samantha Brown.
Given her line of work, one may assume that Brown and her family were avid adventurers.
However, that wasn’t exactly the case.
“At 18 years old, I remember thinking, ‘I’ll never travel.'”
As a result, she intended to pursue higher education in that specific field at Syracuse University.
During a 2023 interview withLisa Niver, however, Brown suggested that this didn’t quite go as planned.
“And then I moved to New York City, and I wasn’t threatening at all.
In fact, I was really bland.”
“I definitely pursued it on my own,” she said.
After arriving at her connecting airport late, Brown had to basically chase down her next flight.
Though she was too late to board the regular way, the plane had not yet taken off.
It was a bold move, but it worked.
“I stretched out my arms and said, ‘kindly,'” she recalled.
“The pilot looked down and gave me the thumbs up.
“My husband travels with me a lot,” she said.
“He’ll join me and that absolutely helps.
We do not go two weeks without seeing one another.
He’s an avid traveler as well.
Her influence throughout travel TV as a whole was evident in 2010 when Brown checked off a major milestone.
That year, Brown celebrated her 10th anniversary on the connection as a travel guide and television personality.
I’m excited to uncover the adventures that lie ahead for me in the next decade.”
Soon enough, she started expanding her family.
In 2012, Brown and Kevin O’Leary announced that they were expecting twins.
In an interview withCNN, Brown opened up about her pregnancy.
When you have two, it’s like a sale: two for one!”
Since then, Brown has committed herself to spending time with her family.
It seemed only natural that she would eventually get into the travel gear market.
In 2011, Brown released her own line of luggage.
Fast forward to 2016 when Brown launched her own line, Samantha Brown Luggage.
The range offered a variety of accessories in addition to the suitcases that were released in 2011.
His work inspired Brown to create the PBS series “Places To Love.”
In a 2023 interview withPeople, Brown expressed how grateful she was for this new chapter.
“I am in charge of who I am.
I have all control over the show,” she stated.
I had no say in what we did, where we went.
And that’s fine, I signed up for that.
But now it’s all what I want to do and all my approach to travel."
Brown took toFacebookfollowing the special night to share her gratitude for earning those awards.
Brown’s “Places to Love” also received Emmy nominations in 2020, 2022, and 2024.
“‘Places to Love’ is a travel series that I pour my heart and effort into non-stop.
It is an amazing feeling when this huge recognition comes through,” she said.
“It’s just been really rough,” she said.
“It’s a very very strange experience.
I did not enjoy it at all and I don’t miss it at all.”
