Samantha Brown is known as a TV host of several travel programs on the Travel Channel, including Girl Meets Hawaii, Great Hotels, and Passport to Europe. She also hosted Great Vacation Homes on the CTV Travel channel.
In her role of host she introduces viewers to vacation destinations, hotels and vacation homes in the U.S. and elsewhere, and explores the locations and activities these destinations offer. In July 2006, she announced plans to film a special on the Freedom of the Seas cruise ship and then start filming a new series, Passport to Latin America.
Born in Dallas, Texas on March 31, 1969, her family soon moved to Derry, New Hampshire, where she grew up. She took 12 years of voice lessons, and attended Syracuse University studying musical theater. Her early career included working in commercials, including playing the spokesperson "Wendy Wire" for a company called Century Cable. She is also involved in the comedy sketch group "Mouth," based in New York where she has lived for ten years. Her work in comedy is clearly apparent in the off-beat humor she brings to her travel shows. She has also appeared in several Broadway shows as an actress and singer.
Throughout 1999 and 2000 the Travel Channel was looking for a travel hostess; Brown was chosen after a series of auditions.
In her personal life, she announced her engagement in January 2006.
