Hi all,
I live in Toronto, Ukrainian by birth. Back in Ukraine I was a big fan of abandoned factories -- something about industrial machinery just tickles my fancy like nothing else -- and pioneer camps. I only recently found out that trespassing is actually not nearly as serious an offense in Canada as I had baselessly thought -- and I was very cautious for fear of jeopardizing my immigration -- and mustered the courage to go exploring here.

Hello, I'm from northern NJ. 've enjoyed exploring old places for a long time, but I only discovered this forum recently. It's amazing! I joined so I could add to and draw from the wealth of knowledge contained here. I am trying to start an urban exploring magazine called The Lantern.

Hey, I've been interested in exploring for a little while, but recently got back into it and made an account here. I'm in the Bay Area and I've been able to visit a few places that I'll post pics of soon. I've been doing rooftops and a couple active places, as well as abandoned ones when I can find them. Message me if you're interested in meeting up sometime!

I'm a photographer from the Chicago area who likes documenting industrial history, infrastructure, and architecture. Been taking pics of old ruined junk for a decent while but only really been exploring since 2019.

I am located in Ohio. I have been interested in Urban Exploration for probably over a decade. I have explored a couple of small locations but nothing major yet. The goal is to stay serious about exploring this year.

Hey all!
Another Texan here. I done some smaller urbex over the last little bit and have lurked the forum for a while, but I think now's a good a time as any to make an account and get more involved. Would like to get out more and do more exploring and see what's out there. Currently located, and bouncing between, East Central Texas (Between Austin and Houston) and the DFW Metroplex(although probably won't be back for another couple of months).
I'm always open to exploring with others. Recently have started to get into caving and discovering the grotto network there is here.

Hey guys,
I'm new to Urbex, but I've always liked the thrill of exploring new places and getting to know more about the lesser known areas from the places I live/visit. I'm in North Texas (the Metroplex/DFW specifically), so if anyone is willing to explore with me, let me know!

Hey everyone!
I am originally from Montreal (QC, Canada) but recently moved to Israel for work and will be there for a few years. I did a little bit of UE in Montreal when I was younger (my first love was the infamous Geo. W. Reed & Co. building) and knew the existence of this forum but never contributed.
I recently found an abandoned place next to where I live and was thinking "I wish I could share that with someone!" and after probably 10 years, decided to start an account here.

Yo yo yo! I’ve been lurking on these forums for quite some time now, so I figure it’s about time I introduce myself and start contributing more. I’ve been fascinated with urban exploration ever since I was 9 years old when my dad took me to an abandoned house from the 80s with everything left inside. There was something about the mystery and the adrenaline rush of that experience that has stuck with me for years. Fast forward to present day 19 year old me, I’ve become obsessed with photography and going anywhere off the beaten path. I’ve made my way through drains, abandoned houses/hotels/restaurants, and have even had a couple fun climbs on top of buildings that aren’t abandoned. I’ve been REALLY dedicated to this hobby for the past 2 years especially, so I feel like I have quite a bit i can contribute to this community.

Frankly there is very little where I'm at. Lots of new development...or farmland. If something is organized, I'd be open to going though. With that said...I think I've found one of a probably handful near me and want to get out to it this weekend and I'll let you all know how it went.

Hey Everyone,
I have been exploring different abandoned places with my first one being the Byron Hot Spring hotel at 13. Currently, I am 19 and in college studying Computer Science, but my friends and I love urban exploring in different areas. I think my favorite part of urban exploring is being able to see the history or artifacts that people leave behind.

Hey! My names Micah, just turned 18 last week and decided to make an account on here and finally be a part of an online forum. I'm a metalhead and overall music enthusiast (collecting vintage equipment and such). I reside here in Saint Paul, Minnesota so there's a good bit of historical places to explore. Ever since I was really young I've found a strong interest in the unknown, and left to decay urban areas. I've been in the Wabasha and lilydale caves countless times (anyone in Saint Paul here probably knows what I'm talking about lol) and I've put together a group irl of some friends who are serious about exploring here in Minnesota. I'm really excited to dive deeper into the hobby. But id be happy to talk to other people here who live here in the state where we say dragon like draegon.
