Places to Love is a new series on PBS. Like its name suggests, it will be a series focused on tourist destinations, which should come as welcome news to those who are interested in visiting other places for the purpose of pleasure. Here are five things that you may or may not have known about Places to Love:
Hosted By Samantha Brown
The new series is being hosted by Samantha Brown, who should be a familiar figure to people who watch a lot of travel shows. After all, she is best-known for being a travel host, who has visited a wide range of destinations both in and out of the United States for the purpose of introducing them to interested individuals. Furthermore, it is interesting to note that Brown even has her own line of luggage because of her role as a travel host.
First Series Filmed By Samantha Brown Following Departure From the Travel Channel
Places to Love will be the first series to be filmed by Samantha Brown following her departure from the Travel Channel, which happened in the summer of 2017. This is interesting because Brown has been working for the Travel Channel for years and years. In fact, she actually got started as a travel host at said channel when she was chosen out of a number of other potential candidates way back in 1999 and 2000.
Saw Samantha Brown’s Involvement In Other Roles Besides Host
With that said, it should be mentioned that Brown is much more involved with Places to Love than just being a travel host. For example, she is one of the people contributing to not just its writing but also its editing. Furthermore, she was involved with the fund-raising process for the series as well, meaning that her influence can be seen throughout the series.
Focused on Experiences That Are Accessible to a Wide Audience
Interestingly, Brown has stated that Places to Love will be distinguishing itself from other travel shows by focusing on travel experiences that are accessible to a wider audience, which is a refreshing contrast from some of her earlier travel shows. Simply put, Places to Love will be covering travel experiences that are available to all of the viewers out there as opposed to travel experiences that are limited to the ones with the most resources. Something that should make it even more interesting for people who love to travel as opposed to loving to watch other people travel.
Focused on a More Intimate Look
As a result of its focus, Places to Love will be going for a more intimate look at tourist destinations. In main, it will be accomplishing this aim by engaging some of the people who make its tourist destinations what they are on a more personal level, thus enabling interested individuals to get a much more up-close look than otherwise possible. In this manner, Brown also hopes to establish a personal connection between Places to Love and PBS viewers who love to watch travel shows.
