| | | Greetings from Finland, After around 15 years as a lone wolf in urban exploration, I decided to join the community. My urbex story started in my teens, when I visited a small village near my old childhood home after many, many years. There, in the middle of the place was an old abandoned building. I had no memory of it from childhood, but for some reason or another, I was horrified of the sight of it. I was later told it was a former slaughterhouse. A while later I began experiencing serious issues in my life, and had recurring nightmares about the place, which always ended with me running to the building and standing on its doorstep frozen in fear. I told my friends about the nightmares, and they tried to convince me to enter the place. They even accompanied me to the village several times, but the result was no good. I was standing in front of the driveway frozen in fear. Finally my friend had had enough. She bought a whole lot of wine, came over to my place and said that I should drink myself brave. When I was drunk enough, she drove me to the village in the middle of the night, and I finally managed to enter. A year later I returned with a colleague to explore and photograph the place from basement to attic, and I realized what a wonderful place the world of abandoned buildings was. I began exploring other places, too, when I heard of them. When the pandemic hit, I had time to go through my archives, and realized, that I had tens of thousands of photographs from dozens if not more than a hundred abandoned, doomed or partly demolished buildings. I started a blog telling my urban exploration story, but things literally got out of hand. I built a website around the blog, bought a new camera and added 5000 photos from around 70 abandoned sites to my gallery this summer alone. And here I am sharing my stories with you.

| | | Hello, everybody. My name is Elijah Hallberg, I'm 19 years old, and a newcomer to the urbex scene. I also live in the Northeast of America. As of now, I have next to no experience at all with urban exploration. I've always loved abandoned places, from pictures of Chernobyl, to post-apocalyptic games like "The Last of Us", there was always something so captivating about it. There's something... sacred about these kinds of places. From the few excursions I've made, it always felt like some sort of spiritual experience, like walking into a dream. I'm saving up some money for the necessary equipment needed for these expeditions, and I've been browsing Google maps and the UER database for anything near me. I have some places bookmarked and will start making trips soon. Before I start, however, I need to educate myself on how to explore these places safely, and find a partner to come along with me. I'm very excited to be here, and I hope that I can help all of you find new places to explore!

| | | Hi, you guys! I'm Ali! I created a profile here about two months ago, but honestly never got up the nerve to post anything. But! I decided today was the day! I've been urbex'ing since about 2005. I grew up in NJ and did a whole bunch of stuff on the East coast, but now live in IL and am having a ton of fun exploring the Midwest. It's a totally different type of exploration out here, but I absolutely love it and honestly, it's kept me sane during the pandemic. I'd love to hear from other people in/around IL that would be interested in meeting up! :)
