He’s a Sculptor and a avid collector of art, antiques, porcelain, Art Deco furniture and vintage marine artifacts. Also a plant lover, Dan Dhanoa's garden resembles a tropical forest with many different hues of green, lovely flowers & fruits. Having such a diverse work profile has led him to places far and wide & enabled him to meet so many different people & experience so many varied cultures. Besides work related travel, the host has travelled to numerous destinations worldwide on vacation with his wife.
