Day #2: Media Mogul

When deciding who to choose as my favorite media mogul, the finalists were Bill O'Reilly, Steven Colbert, Megyn Kelly, and Samantha Brown. It took a lot of thinking over, but I had to choose Samantha Brown. Hands down, she has the coolest job in the world. I mean, getting paid to travel the world, stay in the most luxurious hotels, trying amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and party with foreigners? Who wouldn't want that job? I know I would.

I first started watching Samantha Brown on the Travel Channel when I was watched one of her Disney World shows. I am completely obsessed with all things Disney and Disney World, so any Travel Channel special on the happiest place on Earth is worth my time. She got to stay in the glamorous suite in Cinderella's castle, she spent days in Disney World trying every ride (I'm sure she didn't have to wait in a line), and she got to have experiences that most visitors never have. I knew then that I wanted to be like her.


While watching her other shows, I've seen her go to Italy, France, China, and many other amazing countries. Samantha Brown is so inspiring to me because she always has a bubbly, adventurous personality and is willing to try anything (and I mean anything), even if it is unexpected and scary at first. I'm not 100% sure of what I'd like to do when I'm older, but being able to work for the Travel Channel is at the top of my list. Maybe one day I'll be the next Samantha Brown.
