My name is Georgia Mae Deegan. I am currently studying Fashion Marketing and Management at the University of Southampton.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently volunteered in Nigeria for 3 months, improving the quality of education and teaching 21st-century skills in a small community. Many of the volunteers who I met there, spoke to me about their past travels and encouraged me to couch-surf. Nigeria was my first experience away from home, and after meeting such well travelled and cultured young people I am excited to travel more myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't deny that I am a huge geek when it comes to sequels. Twilight (don't mock me), Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, you name it. I love reading or watching films based around both World Wars also.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2017 I did my first of hopefully many skydives.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really want to learn and develop a new language, especially French. Fashion is also one of my main interests, so I hope to discover new fabrics, clothing styles based on different cultures around the world.

I have my own blog and hope to write many posts about solo travelling, which I have never done before (https://teasinggeorgiax.blogspot.co.uk/).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everyone loves to mock my accent, which is always good fun when traveling. I'd describe myself as quite an open and chatty person, so I will 100% chat any hosts ears off whilst I am staying with them.
