About me

I'm just another one of the many students at UBC.

I'm primarily going to be around the Vancouver graticule, but if the coordinates just don't work, then I'll likely try the Surrey and/or Victoria graticules (or possibly farther).

I'm current in Würzburg on a co-op term with thepiguy. While here I'll be geohashing in the general area, though I may consider going much farther, since I'm hoping to explore Europe a bit while I'm here! Also, since I'm working, I have more spare time than while I'm in classes, so you can expect to hear more from me again!

Upcoming excursions

• Geohashiversary (May 21st) is a holiday in Germany, and so I'll be celebrating by geohashing, so long as the location isn't in the middle of an army base or something of the sort!
• I'll be doing many weekend geohashes, particularly if they're not too far off. I'm not in shape to the degree that thepiguy is, but I still enjoy biking, and hope to make it to several in the area! It's a great way to see the country.
