My name is Jas. I am a 22 year old student-athlete from Memphis, TN. I'm currently attending school in Mississippi, and I've been here for 3 years.
The summer after my third year of college is approaching, and I feel that this is a perfect time for me to experience awesome cities in the company of great hosts.

(UPDATE: I am looking to move to NYC!! I LOVED IT!!!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I can not say that I am well-traveled. I'm from a rural southern family. We've never had much money or motive to go to out and see the world, but in attending college I have been so positively overwhelmed by the so many different people I've met from so many cultural backgrounds that it has made me want to make my Summer '15 one that involves learning from you guys, not a professor this time around. .
