I love maps! Transit and thematic maps are my favorites :)

Despite currently residing in Hamburg, Germany, my mapping community is Missing Maps London. You can often find me at our monthly events leading trainings in the iD or JOSM room.

I enjoy mapping postboxes, benches, swimming pools, and waste bins. I also map street lamps that I notice on walks with my dog. I’ve gotten into RapiD lately, and I’m also into adding buildings in the USA. Oh and lastly, trees have also recently caught my eye so I map quite a few of those too.

On my mobile, I like using Go Map!!, StreetComplete, and Every Door.

After two years, I finally made it into the hall of fame on OSM Streak: http://streak.osmz.ru/user/Nicolelaine
