Travel expert and host, Samantha Brown, has traveled more than 2.5 million miles and journeyed to over 65 countries throughout her storied career. During the most recent season of her Emmy Award-winning PBS series "Samantha Brown's Places to Love," Brown added 2,448 miles to that total by completing her multi-year Route 66 road trip, spanning all eight states along the Mother Road.
"The history of Route 66 is fascinating, and I met so many wonderful people. That's why it's called the Mother Road; it really is what gave birth to this nation's tenacity, spirit and incredible optimism," Brown told TPG. "I don't say this lightly, but in my 26 years of travel it's the most incredible trip I've ever taken," she added.
