One hour, one-to-one. For people deciding whether to move here.
You've read the forums. You've watched the videos. You've got a spreadsheet, and it hasn't settled anything — because the question you're actually stuck on isn't the kind that has a public answer.
That's what this hour is for.
I moved from Los Angeles to Valencia and I live here now. Not in an expat bubble, not on a six-month trial. I know which neighbourhoods look better online than they feel on a Tuesday, what the city's become since everyone discovered it, and what people get wrong before they arrive.
How it works
Before we speak, you'll fill in a short questionnaire — your timeline, your situation, what you're stuck on. I read it beforehand, so the hour goes to your actual questions instead of establishing basics.
Then one hour on Zoom. Direct answers, including the unflattering ones.
Afterwards you get the recording, so you're not taking notes while we talk.
What this is not
I'm not a lawyer, a tax adviser, or a relocation agency, and I won't pretend to be. For visas and taxes you need a professional, and I'll tell you where to find one. What I can give you is what it's actually like to live here — which is the part nobody sells you.
One hour. $245. Limited availability.
Why me
I spent twenty years designing fine jewellery in Los Angeles. Judging things — materials, proportion, what's worth the money and what only looks like it is — was my profession before it was my habit.
Then I moved to Valencia. Not for a season. I live here.
That means I can tell you the things a relocation agency has no incentive to say and a forum thread gets wrong: which neighbourhoods are quieter than they look, which are louder, where the light is good in winter, what August actually does to daily life, and how the city has changed since it started appearing on everyone's list.
I'll give you my honest read, including where I'd tell you not to come.

How booking works
1. Purchase your one-hour consultation below.
2. Immediately after payment, continue to the scheduling page and choose your date and time.
Your consultation is confirmed only after you have selected a time and received the Calendly confirmation email.
Before we speak
1. What's your timeline? (Already have dates / within 6 months / within a year / still deciding)
2. Who's coming with you? (Alone / partner / children — and their ages / pets)
3. What's driving the move? One or two sentences is plenty.
4. Have you been to Valencia? If yes, when, for how long, and where did you stay?
5. What will you do for work or income here?
6. Roughly what monthly budget are you working with for housing?
7. What have you already figured out? I don't want to spend our hour on things you've solved.
8. What's the one question you most want answered? Be specific — this is the one I'll prepare for.
9. Is there anything you're worried about that you haven't said out loud to anyone?
