30 / m / 46,11I am a 18 years old guy living in the small city of Trento, northern Italy. I pride myself in being the most active Italian geohasher, but that's not a great accomplishment- I don't have any regular competition.
I got to know geohashing on the 12th of August, 2012, and it was instant love. Trentino is not the easiest place to get around- it's all mountains around here, and some places can be quite hard to reach. On the other hand, though, Trento is on the bottom left corner of a graticule- this means I have three other graticules nearby should the location in mine be unreachable. I mostly hash via public transport, as I don't have a driver's license yet.
At the end of 2012 I released a report on all the expeditions I did during the year, which you can read here. Thanks for visiting my userpage, and feel free to leave a message for anything- even if you just want to chat.

2012-12-29: Back to geohashing after three months, in a apple field north of Banco, a small mountain village.
Not-as-successful expeditions
2012-08-27: In a parking lot in Egna/Neumarkt. Had the wrong coordinates and thought it was inside a fenced garden.
2013-01-02: Inside a house in Cinte Tesino.
Planned but not attempted expeditions (hopefully future retros)
2012-12-14: Snowstorm struck in the morning causing transport delays, my timetable wouldn't allow me to go on an adventure.
2012-01-21: Bad weather, had a cold, and it was too difficult (also implied lots of time)

- Side note/shameless bragging: I could have claimed both land geohash and Public Transport geohash on my first expedition, but I lacked proof for those two.
Hidden goals
These are my ultimate achievements- they will take something like five years to accomplish but well, I like challenges.
1) Hashing once in every of the 217 Trentino municipalities (so far: 4)
2) Using at least once every Trentino city/intercity bus line, which are quite a lot (I don't know the exact number!) (so far: 2x Trento city network, 7x intercity network, FTM railway included)
3) Using at least once every Trentino Trasporti bus (according to their website, there are 714 of them, just sayin': 16 so far, train included)
