Favourite drink of choice: Champagne - because every day alive is worth celebrating.

What I love most about my city is: The easy-going lifestyle, the river walks and how quickly you can escape to the coast or the hinterland.

If I had a superpower, it would be: Time travel - to revisit moments, explore history and see the world from different eras.

If I could attend any high-profile event: Wimbledon - for the tradition, atmosphere and world-class tennis.
