Victor moved to Valencia all the way from Brooklyn, New York! 🗽
After 30 years working in finance, he decided to go after something he'd always loved but never had the chance to do professionally: cooking. He had zero experience in a restaurant kitchen, but that didn't stop him.
At Ecotur, he's training under Chef Robert, who he describes as "the ultimate professional" 👨🍳 — someone he's learning something new from every single day. Starting Spanish from scratch hasn't been simple, and Victor is honest about that, but his classmates have made the process a lot less lonely.
He's now working through his MS in Culinary Arts, and along the way he's fallen for Valencia too — the culture, the architecture, and a city that made him feel welcome from the start!
If you've been sitting on a dream like Victor's, this could be where it starts.
