Couch Available: Maybe Preferred Gender: Female Max Surfers Per Night: 1
Shared Sleeping Surface: No Shared Room: NoI prefer a few weeks notice and am open to receiving people evenings or weekends, max 3 nights. I work 9-5pm during the week so I ask that you leave when I do in the morning which is 8am. I prefer only 1 person (female even better) as my place is small. If you say you are 1 and show up with more you will be turned away. Each guest should have a profile with at least a security level 1. Put the word "drums" in your response so I know you've read this. Use the "couchsurf with" request form. Thank you. As you can see my couch is not very long, but it's pretty! Actually I would put out the air mattress in the living room for you. There is no door, but when I close my bedroom door you have some privacy. I have blankets. It's a one bedroom that is all mine and a quiet and clean place. Except sometimes I use my kitchen as a sewing room. No pets, no smoking, vegetarian. But to make me really happy bring any bottle of red wine to share ;)
The neighborhood is amazing (referred to as the Mission). You step onto the street and Dolores Park is right in front of you. The public transportation is very easy from here and shops and places to eat all around. I rarely leave my neighborhood!
I wont always be available to show you around, so you should be self sufficient. There is so much to see in SF I don't even have to tell you but some helpful links are:

Personal DescriptionLife is good! And I dare ask for it to get better!? I live the life I've always wanted. I get to be creative and expressive, have beautiful friends, a great place to live... art, music and the world at my feet.
I love to travel and experience other cultures, see how they live. I often imagine myself living there too! I've always been somewhat of a Gypsy. Yet, eventually I miss San Francisco! Since living here...no matter where I roam, I always love coming home!
If you want too much information check out my website link to the left.How I Participate in CSHappy to host! I also believe that the CS network is a fabulous way to unify this world. Our differences should unite us through respect and patience. We should embrace various cultures and walk in each others shoes. We are all connected. CouchSurfing ExperienceIn a world that is increasing in fear towards nieghbors this community shines through like a beacon of hope, speaking to our innate desire to trust and take care of each other.

From ∞Odile Nicole∞ Austin, United States Oct 22 Positive Veronica is one Rockin' Momma! I had so much fun dancing and talking consciousness with her, that I had to go back and stay with her again. Lovely. I recommend checking out her Fashion Designs and having a lengthy conversation with her. She has much to offer!
Thanks so much for making me feel welcome. We must meet again, somewhere...
From Victoria Fitz-Henry Dublin, Ireland (Republic of) Sep 10 Positive veronicas a seriously cool lady. i will definitely be catching up with her again. we had great conversations, food and drink...it was all good. if your lucky enough to meet, host or surf with her you will enjoy every minute :)
From ExiledInHeaven Dublin, Ireland (Republic of) Sep 7 Positive Veronia DeFalco ... wow! One very cool lady for sure. Three days was nowhere near enough time to have d'craic with her. Three years may do it! Great fun to be with. Watch out for the Couch Request, Veronica; we will be on the way. Loved every minute, you have been adopted.
From Filipa Lopes Burnaby, Canada May 6 Positive Veronica was a great host! I enjoyed our meals and evenings together and with her friends very much. From the Indian restaurant to the comedy movie, it was all lovely. I felt really welcomed and had some very interesting talks. She has a great roof view and a great personality!
Thank you and let me know if you ever come to Portugal again!
From HELLO CLA Paris, France Apr 21 Positive Veronica is a very nice host, she made me visit her neighborhood, her roof ;) and a place where to eat enormous and delicious burritos !
I spent just one night at her place but we had time to talk a lot and experiment a little earthquake (unless if it was her neighbours ;))
Veronica, you're welcome in Paris anytime!
From Lidia Lalenoh Santa Ana, United States Apr 12 Positive I surfed in Vero's place for a night, and it was such a fantastic experience. We spent hours sharing our stories. She cooked delicious pasta (you definitely has to try it) for me. She also helped me find the bus direction. And thanks for letting me know about the Cabel Car, I really enjoyed it haha...
Vero was a very good host, you would always find yourself amazed of her personality.
From Sonia GOURSAT Lyon, France Mar 28 Positive I had a very good time with Veronika, she is a very clever and generous person, I enjoyed our many talk about life and even politic. We watched an hilarious bad movie from the 90s, beting about the end and laughing about the characters, very fun time! (and I had the shortest party ever ;)
From Gustavo Alcantar San Francisco, United States Feb 25 Positive Veronica is a sweet, intelligent, trustworthy, hard-working and fun person. Good vibes and responsible.
From Gustavo Carmen San Francisco, United States Feb 9 Positive Veronica is very cool, intelligent, motivated, cheerful, fun, hard-working and trustworthy.
From Reili Parnasalu Tallinn, Estonia Feb 4 Positive She's a lovely person, fun to hang out with, true to herself and really smart at the same time :)
Would stay with her again any time!
Wish you all the best in whatever you do! ;)
From Hugo Loureiro Lisbon, Portugal Jan 27 Positive Vero is amazing. We´ve spent a beautiful short time. Hope the next one will be longer in San Francisco or in Lisbon. It´s people like Vero that i like to host. Special, rare and opened minded. Wide open!
From Joe Parrilli San Francisco, United States Oct 11, 2008 Positive I cannot count the number of wonderful people I met during the 12 years that I owned/operated my caffe in North Beach, but Veronica will always be one of my favorites. She is outspoken, outgoing, straightforward, and honest. She is also more fun than a barrel of monkeys and the brightness of her spirit is highly contagious. I am very happy to have known her for as long as I have and I hope we will be friends for many years to come.
From Delia Laurent Barcelona, Spain Oct 7, 2008 Positive Thanks for the girls' talks, for the freedom & for showing the way!
From Olivier Soriano Barcelona, Spain Sep 22, 2008 Positive The eyes of Vero are cool, sweet and beauty, the same like her soul. Who knows maybe next year I saw her again in the Burning Men Festival ;) On there I´m sure the rain will not appear during the festival :)
From Eszter Badics Milano, Italy Sep 22, 2008 Positive "She has the power of Indiana Jones" that was not me to declare but I completely agree. I really enjoyed to get to know a very dynamic and strong lady who is brave enough to break-out from 9-5 way of life. Veronica if you find out how it works on a long-term please reveal me your secret. Till now, it seems that it works perfectly for you!
From Alessandro C. Torino, Italy Sep 22, 2008 Positive WARNING! THIS GIRL HAS GUTS! And she's not afraid of showing it, when needed. V. embarked in a great long trip that brought her to know a lot about italians and Italy, in the good and in the bad. She has a very strong determined attitude, and she can animate a night out without any other support. Don't get in her way, or you may pay the consequences! Very lovely anyway, she left me many good memories.
From Zach Trimz Rome, Italy Sep 22, 2008 Positive Vero has got to be one of the most real people I have had the pleasure of meeting. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience yet is STILL completely a free spirit. Shake her hand and in those few moments you will know what im talking about.
From Roberto Becattini Florence, Italy Sep 16, 2008 Positive I guess I must apologize with Veronica, for being not so present that weekend, shame on me ! Actually she is one of the most deep and aware (about many things)people I've met thru CS
From Luca Bartoni Perugia, Italy Sep 8, 2008 Positive Vero is a very interesting person. We talk a lot and I passed 2 very beautiful nights :D

From Angelo Lavagnino Siena, Italy Sep 7, 2008 Positive Veronica is really nice while she is preparaing the HUGE salad that she is going to eat. Actually she is amazing also when she started to watch movies or reading book sitted on my couch. See you soon smiling girl.
From Vincenzo C Rome, Italy Aug 29, 2008 Positive Meeting Veronica is like breathing fresh air. Sometimes we meet people that can have great impact with a few words: she is one of them. I consider myself very lucky to have met her: people, I mean it, do yourself a big favour and try to meet her if you can!!! Veronica, see you in San Francisco!
From Pablo Molinero Orihuela, Spain Aug 24, 2008 Positive Happy birthday Veronica!!! ;)
Sorry about the delay but I´ve continued travelling once I got Spain.
It was incredible my first experience like
Coach Surfing in your Place in palermo. Surely I ´ll keep using this way of travelling!!!
Just wish U the best, keep this free Spirit U have.
I hope to meet you again in Spain or San Francisco soon.

From LAURELANN Palermo, Italy Aug 16, 2008 Positive Sometimes a girl just needs a Virgo in her life. I was in that place when the vivacious and very foxy Veronica showed up. I instantly liked her, and have found her to be interesting, unusual (in the best ways of course), charming, and loads of fun. I am so lucky to have a roommate like her during this hot, sticky, dusty August here in Palermo.
From MAUROGURU Rome, Italy Aug 4, 2008 Positive She is able to bring an intelligent sun wherever she lays her hat
From Diego Deggiolino Rome, Italy Aug 2, 2008 Positive I knew a very nice woman, i learned a lot from your experience!i hope to see you soon Vero!!we meet in Roma and we went together with my car in Pescosolido SUMMER CAMP...!!
From JAVIER68 Madrid, Spain Jul 31, 2008 Positive

I hope that we see us .... certainly yes.
From Jamie Luv San Francisco, United States Jun 29, 2008 Positive She was a totally fun and engaging ride mate and I was really interested in getting to know her more.
From TEXAFORNIA San Francisco, United States Jun 23, 2008 Positive Veronica makes the BEST mac and cheese!"It's all in the roux!" She was a fab host in her fab apt.
From ELIZABETH&BRUNO Seattle, United States Jun 19, 2008 Positive Veronica was a great host, very considerate and friendly. She showed me around the Mission, and we got to share some wonderful food and conversation. Thanks for being such a good listener, Veronica! I'm so glad we got to meet :)
From Mitchell Aidelbaum San Francisco, United States Apr 1, 2008 Positive Veronica is a cool chick. I met her a few times starting with some Yelp events in SF. I'm looking forward to hanging out with her soon. |
