I heard about geocaching from radio while I was travelling in a bus. That was in June 2002. Because I already owned a GPSr, and there was one cache in the area where I live, I decided to give it a try. I found the cache, but because there was no other caches anywhere near at the time, and the one cache was not placed by anyone living nearby, I left the hobby to sleep. After a year, I took a look at the geocaching site, and found out that many new caches had been placed near where I live, and started the hobby again.
