KUWAIT: According to Italian chef Marco Fiorot, Kuwait is a country of opportunities, and he plans to stay here for the rest of his life. Fiorot is a great example of the success expats can achieve in Kuwait. Fiorot came from a small town in northeast Italy called Vigonovo. “I came to Kuwait in 2014 by chance. I was only 24 years old and started working as a waiter at a tiny coffeeshop in Abul Hasania. Now I own two restaurants, which proves that Kuwait is the country of opportunities,” he said in an interview with Kuwait Times. Some excerpts:

Kuwait Times: What did you think of Kuwait before coming here?

Marco Fiorot: I expected to find the desert and camels. I didn’t know there were fancy skyscrapers here. Actually, they’re fancier than in Italy.

KT: Why did you choose Kuwait?

Fiorot: By chance I met a Kuwaiti at a restaurant in Italy, where I was working as a waiter. This man invited me to visit Kuwait, as he was opening a coffeeshop and wanted to have an Italian collaborator, so I came. I worked with him as a waiter for about a year. Then he decided to close the business.
