I'm an actor, writer, and filmmaker from Italy and based in Los Angeles. Used to be in the national team as a sailing athlete and still love to be in the water - be swimming, sailing and - learning - kiteboarding. I love trying different cuisines, art in all its forms (books, visual art, performing art, movies and TV of course...), podcast addict and always down to get groovy on the dance floor.

You'll get a solid idea of the kind of person I am if you look me up on Instagram: @veronica_maccari

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've travelled a lot thanks to my athletic career but then slowed way down once I moved to the United States to pursue my acting and filmmaking career. I want to travel more again and CONNECT with people. I'm a huge extrovert and I'm passionate about meeting and learning about people who are different than me, so I'm excited to explore couchsurfing as a means to travel more and more meaningfully!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crowdfunded $55,524 (100% of our goal!) for a web series I've written and I will star in! And then went to Maui by myself for two weeks, stayed at a hostel and had THE best time.

Also, went to 3 World Championships and 4 European Championships, representing Italy in the national sailing team.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an acting and stage combat teacher and was an Italian language tutor - I can teach you all of these things ;)

I want to learn about your culture, how you live and what you care about!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, kindness, laughs, Italian swearwords and GRATITUDE.
