Rafa is a Portuguese motorsports commentator, currently employed covering Formula 1 for a Portuguese broadcaster. Kseniya is a human rights activist who fled her native Russia several years ago because she feared for her safety. They got married last year, and live in an apartment in London.
Year 1 (2018) - London, UK
Kseniya receives a prestigious international award for her campaigning.
