Oscillate
"We never stay in the city during/for the whole summer. We kind of oscillate between our cottage and our house in Berlin."
Can 'oscillate' be used in this context? I heard an interview with an actress where it was used in a similar way. Ans is it better to use 'during' or 'for'?
Thank you.
