Dylan is a 20-year-old retail assistant from Buckinghamshire, who loves to travel and recently took a gap year travelling through Southeast Asia, exploring the different cuisines and meeting new people.

Dylan recalls being in the car with his mother and they were driving to his grandmother's house to celebrate her birthday.
"I was happy, I didn't really register it," he said. "My mum was super happy, the crew could hear her cry out."
