Hello there!

About Me

I'm 21 years old and I live (and, by the way, have always lived) in wonderful Munich, Germany (48, 11). However, I also do many of my Geohashing in the 47, 11 graticule, too. In my free time, I like to play the acoustic guitar, run, cycle or read about chemistry, spaceflight, medicine or other sciency stuff. After doing some not-so-volounteer work in a hospital and undergoing a short paramedic training, I decided to study medicine. Which I'm currently doing at LMU and TU of Munich. I occasionally update my former employee's website, volounteer at our local emergency ambulance and am currently looking for another side job. This site was recommended to me by DerFlob who I'm occasionally visiting hashpoints with. Since I love cycling and hiking, I hope those will be my preferred ways of traveling. Trains, however, are awesome as well!

Equipment

I'm currently using:

• A Garmin eTrex Hiking GPS (which I think is a great GPS, especially since it's kinda waterproof)
• A Panasonic DMC-TZ5 digital camera (which takes good enough pictures for my purposes - and gladly proved to get along with slight water contact rather well)
• A Rixe XC 10.0 cross bike. Got it in fall of 2011 and therefore now smashed all excuses for not riding to a hash by bike. Looking forward to taking it on a real tour and not just to university and back!
