The Travel Host | An Interview with Host & Executive Producer of Rhythm Abroad, Brittany Pierce
Finding Your Rhythm Abroad with Brittany Pierce
In this episode of Toast Meets Jam I caught up with Brittany Pierce, the host and executive producer behind the dance-centric travel series, Rhythm Abroad. We decided to meet at one of my favorite Brentwood spots, Coral Tree Cafe.

After graduating college, Brittany began her career as a reporter for Channel 4 San Diego. However, it wasn’t long before she was called to pursue her love for travel.
