Shan moved to Colorado Springs, USA

Loading player...
Formerly a Camps Bay kid, Shan is now a wealth manager who lives in Colorado Springs with his wife and son (+1 20-year-old son, probably off skiing in Tahoe). Shan moved to the US when he was 20, and was adopted by his American stepfather to ease the process, so this episode is more about the lifestyle, the culture, and why Shan makes Colorado Springs and the USA his home.
