Was anyone else obsessed with Samantha Brown on the travel channel growing up?

I loved the travel channel back in the 2000s and honestly I think so much of the person ive become or realized I am over the years is from watching Samantha Brown travel the world at a young age. I didnt just love her I wanted to be her, she was seminal in my development, particularly my early taste. Ive got so much nostalgia for this time.
