     << CouchSurf with DeFalco!    

Couch picture

Couch Available: Maybe
Preferred Gender: Female
Max Surfers Per Night: 1

Shared Sleeping Surface: No
Shared Room: No

I 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 Description

Life 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 CS

Happy 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 Experience

In 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. I am always most grateful when people share not only themselves but their time and space.

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...

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 ;)

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.

"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!

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.

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!

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.
