I am a 18 years old guy living in the small city of Trento, northern Italy. I pride myself in being the most active Italian geohasher, but that's not a great accomplishment- I don't have any regular competition.

I got to know geohashing on the 12th of August, 2012, and it was instant love. Trentino is not the easiest place to get around- it's all mountains around here, and some places can be quite hard to reach. On the other hand, though, Trento is on the bottom left corner of a graticule- this means I have three other graticules nearby should the location in mine be unreachable. I mostly hash via public transport, as I don't have a driver's license yet.

At the end of 2012 I released a report on all the expeditions I did during the year, which you can read here. Thanks for visiting my userpage, and feel free to leave a message for anything- even if you just want to chat.

Successful expeditions

2012-08-13: In a meadow in Viote, Mt.Bondone, Trento.

2012-08-24: Outside a house in Laste, eastern Trento.

2012-08-26: In a porphiry quarry over Gazzadina, Trento.

2012-09-02: On a country road north of Dro. Part of Trentino, but in Verona graticule!

2012-09-20: In Albaredo, east of Rovereto. Deflowered Padova graticule!

2012-12-29: Back to geohashing after three months, in a apple field north of Banco, a small mountain village.

Not-as-successful expeditions

2012-08-27: In a parking lot in Egna/Neumarkt. Had the wrong coordinates and thought it was inside a fenced garden.

Planned but not attempted expeditions

2012-12-14: Snowstorm struck in the morning causing transport delays, my timetable wouldn't allow me to go on an adventure.

Achievements

Werther earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (46, 11) geohash on 2012-08-26.

Werther earned the Public transport geohash achievement

by reaching the (46, 11) geohash on 2012-08-26 via Trentino Trasporti network.

Template:Virgin graticule

Werther achieved level 2 of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement

by visiting coordinates in Trento, Italy and 2 of the surrounding graticules.

Side note/shameless bragging: I could have claimed both land geohash and Public Transport geohash on my first expedition, but I lacked proof for those two.

Hidden goals

These are my ultimate achievements- they will take something like five years to accomplish but well, I like challenges.

1) Hashing once in every of the 217 Trentino municipalities (so far: 4)

2) Using at least once every Trentino city/intercity bus line, which are quite a lot (I don't know the exact number!) (so far: 2x Trento city network, 7x intercity network, FTM railway included)

3) Using at least once every Trentino Trasporti bus (according to their website, there are 714 of them, just sayin': 16 so far, train included)
