About Me

I'm French, 33 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.

In the beginnings, I used the following equipment (back 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.
