My name is Elizabeth, and I live in the [[Vancouver%2C_British_Columbia|Vancouver]] graticule. I am a student at the University of British Columbia; studying computer science, physics and math via the Honours Integrated Sciences programme. I'm from [[Lethbridge, Alberta]]; and if asked which part of the internet I am from [http://www.xkcd.com/256/], my answer would be [http://www.tarvalonforums.net TarValon.net].

I enjoy biking, hiking, and cross-country skiing, and will happily use any of these modes of transportation to get to a geohash; in addition to kayaking, snowshoeing, busing, SkyTrain-ing, ferrying, and bugging rides off of generous people with cars. My hashscot is a black trilby known as my "hatscot," pictured above.

Elbie, wearing her "hatscot."

About me

My name is Elizabeth, and I live in the Toronto graticule. I recently graduated from the University of British Columbia, and am now doing graduate work at the University of Toronto. I'm from Lethbridge, Alberta; and if asked which part of the internet I am from [1], my answer would be TarValon.net.

I enjoy biking, hiking, and cross-country skiing, and will happily use any of these modes of transportation to get to a geohash; in addition to kayaking, snowshoeing, busing, SkyTrain-ing, ferrying, and bugging rides off of generous people with cars. My hashscot is a black trilby known as my "hatscot," pictured above.

Geohashes

I've attempted a total of 35 expeditions, 22 of which were successful, in 10 different graticules. I've met 23 registered geohashers so far, and have adventured with 20 of them.

My list has gotten quite out of date; I will eventually reassemble it.
