Essentials and History of Brighton
Hello I'm James. I have been lucky enough to travel throughout my life and have a degree in Travel and Tourism. I was born in Brighton but have lived elsewhere in Australia and New Zealand, but keep coming back to my home town. I'm eager to share the history and culture of Brighton with other travellers, My hobbies are walking, swimming. Love the local Undercliff and South Downs and yes I even swim in The English Channel outside of the summer in a wetsuit of course.
