About Me
I'm a physics student from Heidelberg, Germany and currently working on my diploma thesis. I will visit hashpoints reachable by bike or foot and sometimes those reachable by train. I didn't own a GPS until 2010, so I navigated by maps and relied on satellite/aerial imagery (or, if the coordinates were in a forest, topographic maps) to find the exact spot. That worked most of the time, but occasionally led to extensive searches or user errors if the imagery or map were outdated.
Future Plans
Current status/plans: In Heidelberg.
Travel Plans
Work will take me to:
Achievements to Get
It's always nice to win an achievement along with a successful expedition. For me, some are more desirable than others.
- Walk to as many hashpoints as possible and beat the current distance record. For a complete list of all my walk hashes (successful or not), see Walk Geohashes. (already earned: 11 times)
- Send more hashcards. (already earned: 2 times)
- Travel some distance to a hashpoint using the power of an animal. (not yet earned)
- Get a regional or reverse regional achievement. (not yet earned)
- Get the MacGyver achievement by building a vehicle to get to a hashpoint during an expedition. (not yet earned)
- Get the A Tale of Two Hashes achievement. (not yet earned)
Things to Do at Hashpoints
- Combine geohashing with guerilla gardening.
- Revisit old hashpoints and document how the place changed (the above point makes revisiting particularly interesting).
- Clean up the hashpoint area.
- Leave a hashtag.
- Leave a hashmark big and durable enough that it can be seen from space. Then wait for the next Google Earth imagery update.

Videos of my expeditions (5 so far).
Wiki Stuff
I like drawing xkcd-ish images for achievement ribbons. See my gallery of achievement images. I keep looking out for newly created achievements that need a ribbon image, and for old images that could be improved.
To-Do List
- Write missing expedition reports
- Add yet unnamed graticules to the All Graticules list (constantly looking for remote or interesting graticules). Name the Antarctica graticules.
- Draw icon for Stacking achievement
