About Me
I live in Heidelberg, Germany and will visit hashpoints reachable by bike or foot and sometimes those reachable by train. I don't own a GPS yet.
Future Plans
Current status/plans: idle
Graticules to Conquer
- 50,9: My arch enemy. I'm there about once every month and already missed several great hashpoints due to time constraints, Mother Nature (darkness, massive snowfall) or departing just one day too soon.
- Hamburg, Germany: I visit my parents there two or three times a year.
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.
- Submit more pictures for the Calendar Girl Achievement.
- Send more hashcards.
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.

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
- Add yet unnamed graticules to the All Graticules list (constantly looking for remote or interesting graticules). Think of a way to name the Antarctica graticules.
