Life is an adventure. Let’s go!
Fun, frolics, and fresh sea air.
Welcome to my family’s hometown. It’s super cool, and it’s really one of my favorite places of all time. I’ll be there over Easter break. I can’t wait! I’ll have plenty to report on when I get back. Be sure to check back and get my update on this post for all things Brighton Beautiful!
I try to go back to see my mum and visit family there at least every other year. My time is always a whirlwind of catching up with old friends, getting my dose of London in, drinking plenty of tea… that includes a really good G’n’T, Sunday lunch, and soaking in everything that’s English. I could go on…
Brighton and Hove is a city on England’s South Coast, and only an hour or so away from London by train. A seaside resort town, Brighton is best known for its Regency architecture, Brighton Palace Pier, the Royal Pavilion, pebble (stone) beach, and swooping pterodactyl-like seagulls. It has a thriving music and arts scene, a liberal and boho vibe with an inclusive and sustainable focus, plenty of boutique shopping, and many restaurants, pubs, and markets contributing to its diverse food scene.
In Brighton you’ll find an eclectic population mix, different ethnicities, retirees, university students, a big LGBTQ community, the spillover from London, hipster types (if that’s still a thing), all living together, thriving together, and being very proudly Brightonian.
