Samantha Brown

I really loved Samantha Brown. She was the one that got me interested in travel shows in the first place. Let's be real, before Bourdain or even Zimmerman, it was all about bubbly Brown as she traveled throughout the world, always having a kick ass time and never complaining.

She is not only a travel writer, she is also a travel TV host. How perfect is that? Could you even dream up a better job? I don't think so.

That being said, I came across an interview she did for a fellow travel writer and I have never been this disappointed in my life. I mean she was super nice and polite in the interview which is obviously good but so boring and lame. yawn.

I couldn't even read the whole interview, I actually began watching Frasier instead of reading her half a dozen quotes about history, culture, and doing research. Once again I have to let out a dazed yawwwn.

I mean history is awesome, and travel is equally as awesome, but without some edge or humor you will actually bore everybody to death. Maybe her cheerful demeanor isn't the result of a fun girl taking over the globe, maybe it's just prozac or something equally as cliche.

Sorry Samantha Brown it's been fun but I am so over it.
