I’ve always thought… hmmm wouldn’t it be cool to take a vacation outside the US simply to go and explore? Sure, but if you’re traveling that far and spending that much, then it had better be above average exploration we’re talking about.
Does this qualify? Abandoned submarine bases and abandoned cities in the former Soviet Union. And let’s not forget that there are areas near Chernobyl that are actually safe to visit but which remain uninhabited. If you saw the History Channel special “Life After Humans” you know what I mean.
Then there’s this abandoned town in Southern Africa… Kolmanskop.
