You might think that Chernobyl is completely uninh

You might think that Chernobyl is completely uninhabited by now, but this is not entirely true. About 100 people still live in scattered ghost villages within the 30 km Exclusion Zone. They are called “self-settlers”, “re-settlers” or “samosely” in Ukrainian. The life of the self-settlers, nowadays, and at the age of 80+ is not that easy. Being pretty isolated from the outside world, distanced and forgotten, they see survival as their sole enemy, rather than radiation. During our 2-day tour in Chernobyl we had the chance to visit the sweetest Baba Hanna in the village of Kupovate. It comes without saying, that Baba Hanna takes great pleasure when having guests! She welcomed us with a big smile, a wide hug, loads of homemade food, and of course her own moonshine vodka (made of potatoes)! #babushkasofchernobyl #chernobyltour

"Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask what is the cost of lies" Chernobyl, April 26th, 1986

Visiting Pripyat is just like being transported in

Visiting Pripyat is just like being transported into a post-apocalyptic world. The most iconic symbol of the town is the Ferris wheel in the amusement park that was due to open on May 1, 1986, for the May Day celebration. Pripyat nowadays looks like a modern necropolis, taken over by nature. Trees have grown even on the asphalt, apartment buildings are covered in plants, while the dense vegetation makes you feel as if you are walking into a jungle. The panoramic view from the rooftop of an apartment building over the town is simply breathtaking and confirms that, indeed, nature is in command here. We spent a whole day in Pripyat, discovering one by one all the facilities of this abandoned town. The creepiest of things is that most of the apartments, shops, and public buildings were ruthlessly looted by people who, in an effort to make a living, did not hesitate to take out of the exclusion zone radioactive objects for resale. The items that were of no value to them remain in the exact same position they were left on the day of the evacuation, reminding us that life in Pripyat ended in the most violent way on the fatal night of April 26th, 1986, at 1.23 a.m.

Within the grey and dull environment of urban Kyiv

Within the grey and dull environment of urban Kyiv lies the bright and colorful residential area of Comfort Town.🏡 All buildings, painted in the brightest hues and pastel shades, are rising in the sky in the form of Lego blocks, shaping a town coming straight from the future! The Comfort Town is a gated community that remains strictly private. Being completely isolated from the outside, it operates as a "city within a city", offering its residents everything needed, from schools, shops, restaurants, sports facilities, playgrounds, internal courtyards, as well as lots of green areas. Would you fancy having such a model town/neighborhood within your own city?!?! 🌈🏘

Can it be that Rio de Janeiro is the world’s most photogenic city?!?! I am still in question… Your thoughts?!?! 😃😃

Have you ever seen this place before? This is the infamous "Swing at the End of the World"! Along with another swing (one on each side), they are hanging from Casa del Arbol, a treehouse in Baños, Ecuador. The entrance ticket is only 1$, and gives you access to a swing ride at... the end of the world! But beware, neither the speed nor the height of the swing will be under your control. There are dedicated employees assigned with the task to push people up to the swing's very limits! No matter how much you beg them, these people are ruthless! 😱 You may, still, find some comfort knowing that the swings do not hang over a cliff but over a steep slope! 😅 Would you dare to take the ride?!?! 😅😅😅
