Martha Filming in Turkey and Thailand

Martha has been quite the gal on the go this summer with a schedule packed with travel plans! Just back from a two-week trip to Malaysia with her niece Sophie and her best friend Memrie, she had just enought time to spend a weekend in Montreal before heading to Turkey with her good friend and colleague Kevin Sharkey. Also accompanying Martha is a small film crew that will be producing several episodes of the new season of The Martha Stewart Show, set to air this fall on the Hallmark Channel. I love taped segments of the program, particularly those that feature Martha's travels or her homes. I'm sure the episodes filmed in Turkey will be filled with great information about the food, the architecture, the famous landmarks and the culture.

Martha has also been hired by Thailand's tourism department to film a series of cooking shows in Thailand this September. The aim by the Thai government is to use Martha's allure to help boost the country's travel industry, especially for female tourists.
