He enjoys travelling to see the sporting events live; having especially enjoyed visiting Abu Dhabi, Belgium, and Germany for their F1 Grand Prix’s. During his time at Abu Dhabi, he went behind the scenes and met the renowned F1 journalist, David Tremayne, who offered to be a mentor throughout his degree and career as a journalist.
