Yes, that's correct. You can replace "time to time" with "sometimes" or "occasionally" without changing the meaning of the sentence. Remember that "sometimes" needs to be plural, as this is referring to more than one incident or occurrence. Ex: John is known for sometimes being late to work. Ex: John goes biking from time to time.
