It's the bright lights of the stage for Samantha as she joins the cast of RENT for a vocal warmup on stage at Manchester's historic Palace Theatre before meeting CEO Peter Ramsey for a tour of the fully restored gem of a playhouse. In Manchester's Cat Alley, artists Vivian Beer and Dave Hady introduce Samantha to this one-of-a-kind feline fiesta of street art and good vibes. Nearby, Samantha takes in the fascinating historical artifacts on display at the Millyard Museum and talks with local expert John Clayton about how Manchester became a model city and hotspot of forward-thinking during the Industrial Revolution--a spirit that was carried into the computer age by Ralph Baer, Manchester resident and the founding father of modern video games. Then it's on to scenic Portsmouth where Sam finds something new to explore in the Museum of Dumb Guy Stuff (the brainchild of two retired guys united by a quirky passion for history and a need to stay out of their wives' hair). For an excellent coffee break, Samantha pops into Cup of Joe where she meets owner and Portsmouth's Assistant Mayor, JoAnna Kelley. In nearby Dover, Samantha is taught the fine art of making authentic dumplings at Hong Asian Noodle Bar where three friends created a restaurant serving the food they grew up with in China. To wash it all down, Samantha heads to Throwback Brewery in North Hampton, where she "throws back" a pint of hand-crafted microbrew with Master Brewer Annette Lee. Samantha is nostalgic as she heads to her former hometown of New Castle and meets her mom, Ellie Mae Brown, for a "beach day" before visiting a nearby grand dame coastal hotel, Wentworth by the Sea. She ends her trip with a cool cocktail and hot jazz at Jimmy's Jazz Club in Portsmouth.

About Samantha Brown's Places to Love:

For more than 17 years, TV host Samantha Brown has been exploring all four corners of the world, visiting more than 260 cities in 62 countries, sharing her adventures and introducing new cultures to viewers.

Now, the two-time Emmy Award-winner embarks on her next journey with her new travel series SAMANTHA BROWN'S PLACES TO LOVE.

Unlike a traditional travelogue show with a formulaic itinerary, PLACES TO LOVE delivers decidedly refreshing and enriching travel experiences by taking viewers on a discovery of the emotional heart of travel and highlighting the people who are changing, challenging and strengthening a destination.

From Brooklyn, New York and Monterey, California to Shanghai, China and Donegal in Ireland, Samantha seeks out the little-known spots and haunts where innovators and disrupters are creating a brand new travel experience.

Whether it's through food and drink, art and design, culture or adventure, at the end of each episode, viewers will have a well-curated list of new experiences that focus on not just how to visit a destination, but how to fully immerse in it.

The 13-part series encourages viewers to experience the passion of people and the soul of a place in a way that only traveling can do.

Samantha's career as a television travel host happened by accident.

A producer spotted her work in a commercial and recommended her to the Travel Channel in 1999 to audition for a new show called Great Vacation Homes.

A decade of various series followed, including Great Hotels, Passport to Europe, Passport to Latin America, Samantha Brown's Asia, The Trip, 50/50, and many others.

Samantha's fun-loving style has made her a beloved and engaging television personality whose approach is less expert and more a person you would want to travel with.
