Description

I am a British journalist based in Berlin planning on coming to Brighton for Jan-July 2027 to accompany my 16-year-old son who is at school there. I teach leadership at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford and run workshops for journalists and media organisations on management, mental health and innovation. I am looking to swap my beautiful sunny fourth-floor apartment in Berlin for a two-bedroom place in Brighton or Hove, preferably for the whole period but two 3 month swaps would also be possible.
