Video: Travels with “Laguna Beach” Star Jessica Smith

Last year we noted that guidebook publisher Let’s Go named Jessica Smith of MTV’s “Laguna Beach” as a spokesperson. Part of the gig apparently included shooting video during a spring-break trip to Europe, which recently debuted on uthtv.com. In the first episode, the cameras follow Smith through London. The result: one not-so-discreet plug for Let’s Go, and lots of yawn-inducing mingling with people who recognize her from the TV show. Still, parts of the video offer an interesting look at someone embarking on a trip to Europe for the first time, dealing with what to pack, navigating new cities and what it feels like to stand out in a foreign place. More of her travel videos are on the way.
