It has finally happened!!! I HAVE MET HER!!! Its all too much. There are almost no words to describe it but alas I shall try. After years upon years of meeting/stalking celebrities and collecting memorabilia, I finally have the ultimate piece of my collection. But to appreciate what this has meant to me you have to first understand what Samantha Brown has meant to me. About 6 or so years ago, I stumbled upon her show Passports to Europe and was totally intrigued. While I have always wanted to travel she became my teacher, my mentor via television. Since our “meeting” I have followed the places she has gone, the tips she gave, and the inspiration she provided to want to do the same things. It was always a dream of mine to be able to meet her and tell her that she gave me the world. So last weekend when I was attending the aforementioned NY Times Travel Show, the opportunity FINALLY presented itself. I was first online to meet her after hearing her speak so passionately about her work and how it changed her life. It was the first time I was ever truly star struck and it wasn’t just because she was a star. Our meeting was everything I hoped it would be and more. She was so kind, gracious, and funny it felt like I had known her for years. And well I had.
