About Me

I'm French, 32 years old. I lived in München, Germany until 2016 and now live in Singapore. I studied electrical engineering at the TU of Munich as double-degree student (exchange with my engineering school in France) and am currently trying to get a PhD degree.

Equipment

Nowadays I simply use my smartphone with the Geohash Droid app.

Previously I used the following equipment (when I lived in Germany):

• Garmin eTrex 20 for geolocalization and track logging.
• My Peugeot bicycle to ride to the hashes.
• Nikon Coolpix L3 camera, very compact, to take photos of the expeditions.
• Additionally: an iPhone to locate me and for Google routing. MotionX GPS Lite for GPS coordinates and Google Maps for orientation.

Plans

Short term

Nothing planned for the next days

Long Term

• Earning my potential Displaced origin geohash achievement in the graticule of München, Germany (48, 11), as it is not very hard to get with public transport.
