About me

I'm an [artist] slash stay-at-home mom. I'm cool like that.

I have always been interested in geography. I love the idea of random adventure and exploring new places, but am quite limited when it comes to being able to geohash. Read: no gps, no car, living in a graticule where most hashpoints end up in some farmers' field.

Wiki stuff

Waiting for a good hash has left me time to map out the graticules in some regions.
