My name is George but I mostly am called Jordy.

I am from California and have grown up there in the north above San Francisco. I like learning all sorts of things and going to all sorts of places.
I like to make furniture sometimes and carve things from wood.
I have always had this desire to travel and believe that this experience helps me learn about the world and myself and others and this is very valuable to me.
