<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After a busy few months of work and having finished my final year of university, it was time for a break. So, I headed off to New York with my friend Becca for a week of exploring a new place.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to film the adventure on my phone, see if the footage was half decent and throw it all together in a video. Here it is. Check out what I got up to during a week in NYC.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With McLaren’s current position as one of Formula 1’s biggest and most successful teams, struggling to score points as its troubled partnership with Honda continues, it’s easy to momentarily forget the humble beginnings of one of the world’s best-known racing outfits. </span><br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A new documentary, simply titled ‘McLaren’, details the extraordinary – but, sadly, far too short – life and career of the team’s founder, Bruce McLaren. It was released in selected cinemas on May 25 and I decided to pop along to a screening to check it out. </span><br>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Occasionally, when I get a bit bored, I head into central London to do some supercar spotting. I don’t have a fancy camera, but just want to get some cool photos and see what’s around. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In general, 2016 has been a very strange year. But for me personally, it's been a <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">busy, relatively successful</span> and enjoyable one.</span><br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I thought it would be good to look through my 2016 in pictures - the perfect way to reflect and bring together some of my favourite memories from the year. It's definitely been an eventful one...</span><br>
