Well, I am a newbie but I'll certainly not tell you where I am. I'm tucked away, deep in the forest - and even take care not to clear the trees at my site, thus the minimap still shows a thick forest at my site.
That said, all this is a good and a bad thing: the good thing is that I've never seen another player near my camp, the bad thing is that it's damn lonely never seeing another player. Playing since a week now - and in that time I've met 6 players:
First one was probably a bot, not recting on area chat and running the same route up and down.
Second one was helpful and gave me a lift with his boat (I spawned on a small island with that character). Thanks.
Third one I didn't meet in person, I was sleeping in my leanto - but he robbed everything else in the camp.
Fourth one was a fisher, little contact.
Fifth one was someone following a scent, short chat.
Sixth one I met while exploring far from home for seeds, nice and helpful, gave me some hemp and flax seeds. Thanks.
Good for my safety that way, but at times it feels like a single-player game.
