Becky is a freelance journalist who joined We Love Brighton in November 2023. The sea, friendly community and green spaces drew Becky back to the coast after more than a decade in London. She trained to be a journalist here in 2010 and is thrilled to be back. She loves being in nature, swimming in the sea and trying new things. Becky hopes her determination to seize the day in this wonderful city will help and inspire others to enjoy their time in Brighton too. https://www.linkedin.com/in/becky-barnes/
