About Samantha Brown's Great Weekends

Samantha's back with her definitive guide to the very best in weekend getaways. From Sundance to Montreal, or Philadelphia  to Savannah, "Great Weekends" will have Sam traveling to destinations all across the U.S. and worldwide.

Samantha knows travel; she practically lives on the road. So in this series, she's taking you to all of her favorite places and her go-to hotels, restaurants and activities in each place. Plus, she'll take you to her secret, off-the-beaten-path discoveries, the places that she's found on her travels that she doesn't normally share. And, as usual, Sam will be meeting up with fantastic people that really make these places unique.  

Think you need more than a weekend for a great escape? Think again.

Above all, Samantha has truly enjoyed showing viewers how extraordinary it is just being a part of everyday life in another part of the world and how the language barrier can sometimes be a bridge to a deeper communication, one that is respected and cherished.
