Presenter Riyadh Khalaf

For self-confessed aviation nerd Riyadh Khalaf, a love of travel runs deep. From dreaming of flying planes as a kid to now travelling the world for work, Riyadh talks to Russell about how he uses travel for creative inspiration and mental rejuvenation — and why he still dreams of getting a pilot's licence one day.  The presenter, author and Celebrity MasterChef champ also gets candid about his experience travelling as a gay man — from the joys of experiencing Pride around the world to the sad realities that limit his travel options.
