Extra-curricular interests

Ahab is a keen sportsman, competing in BUCS for UCL’s squash team and always looking to sharpen his game. He also plays cricket more socially these days, especially when the sun is out. Recently, he’s been trying to take up padel, though finding an available court has proven more challenging than the sport itself.

Outside of sport, Ahab has a passion for cooking and enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, whether recreating dishes from his travels or trying out new cuisines. Travelling is a constant source of inspiration for him, offering the chance to explore new cultures, flavours, and ideas.
