About Me

I'm Veronica,
Italian born and raised in Rome with America in my heart, between western movies, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis songs. muscle cars and pin ups.
My dream since I was a child was to know the America I saw in movies. I dreamed of the romantic landscapes of Georgia and imagined walking on the beautiful beaches of California. Over the years Los Angeles has become my favorite city and I promised myself that I would live there one day.
After my first trip in 2014 I had the confirmation that I had a special bond with this city. Something deep that cannot be explained in words, it is that certainty that makes you say "I belong here, this is where I have to be".
I would never have imagined that only a few years later it would become what I would call home! My move deserves a separate post!
I must admit that it is not easy to emigrate so far away to a country where you have no one, where you have to learn a new language, new habits and new rules.
I am a creative spirit, I like to sing, sew, draw, create jewelry, t-shirts and much more. I have always read a lot and written: diaries, thoughts, stories, my dream is to publish a novel and for years I had been thinking about writing a blog even just to share my thoughts but I didn't know where to start, until I started doing some research and I found the inspiration to even make it a profession! I studied computer science, I did different jobs, accountant, secretary, door-to-door saleswoman, real estate, busser, runner, bar back and waitress in a restaurant, but they were jobs that only allowed me to "survive" I wanted more, when I reached 37 years old (you read that right! I turned 37 in January) I wanted economic stability, I wanted to be able to go out to dinner or buy a nice dress without having to worry that the next check would barely be enough for the rent! Instead of doing a job, I wanted a profession! The difference is huge!
Life is full of surprises and I believe that any dream is achievable if you work hard to pursue it.
