Bienvenid@s. I'm a Spanish teacher in Forsyth County. I made an account while still a lowly grad student at Wake Forest University (though my alma mater, and the owner of most of my heart, is UNC-Chapel Hill) to hold myself to my goal of starting to geohash. And as of May 14, 2012, I've met that goal and am totally hooked.

About Me

Bienvenid@s. I'm a Spanish teacher and all-around communication(s) nerd based in the 36,-80 graticule. I don't hash frequently as I'm more of a convenience hasher--I'm not able to travel far out of my way, so I'm constantly lurking in wait of a nearby hashpoint. If you're in the area, let me know! It's lonely hashing by yourself sometimes.
