24 Hours In: Brighton

24 Hours In: Brighton | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it

It's the little things we do, I spent twenty-four hours in the Sussex beach town of Brighton. I ditched city life for the seaside! Experiencing the old and new piers showed me that Brighton has many tales to tell. Everybody has got a point of view but it's nobody's business where I decide to travel to. Get heated up, Brighton's promenade sizzles! Brighton I can't stop thinking about you!
