| | | Hiya! I'm Connor. He/Him/His. Been lurking for a while, mostly because anxiety makes me *meep* about things. Anywhooo.... Located in Boston, MA. Have floated around the New England area for most of my life (I'm 25) and have Explored since college when a friend from MIT got me into it. I adore history and mystery so UE tends to be for me a step back in time. Favorite adventure by far has to be Pleasure Beach when I was living down in New Haven, CT. The theatre there is just so beautifully intact. Lights in the air and all! Followed closely by Holyland, USA, mostly for the giggles and tiny houses. In my "normal" life, I work for a doggie daycare, am an audio engineer for theatre, and a freelance LGBTQ+ Educator. Wicked looking to make some more friends my age into this stuff, so hit me up!

| | | The name's Alex. Nice to meet you. I'm from Southern Ontario and I'm in my late twenties. I've been doing this since my early teens but haven't really gotten involved with the larger community until now. My group of friends and I routinely check out cool sites around Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, North Bay, and basically anywhere within a five hour drive of our home base. I'm not much of a photographer myself, since I prefer to commit my experiences to memory, but a few of my buddies are. I'm also a maritime historian currently working on my thesis, but I've only ever explored a handful of abandoned ships. I'd love to check out the SS United States or the unused portions of the RMS Queen Mary someday. I'm also an avid hiker, camper, and creative writer. Good to meet you all on here, and I hope to meet in person eventually!

| | | Hey Everyone! My name is Noé. I'm from Seattle, Washington. In 8 days I'll be 29. I'm a tactical vehicle mechanic in the USAF. The military has given me the opportunity to travel the world and explore new areas. The next 2 years will finish up my 4 year tour up here in Anchorage, Alaska. I am a firm believer of skipping "tourist traps" and getting to know the locals to find those undocumented places. I absolutely love exploring everything from caves, abandoned buildings, old military sites, and basically any place that gives you the vibe that you really shouldn't be there. There's nothing more exhilarating than thinking you're exploring a forgotten land alone only to hear the echo of footsteps or crashing debris in the distance! I stumbled upon this site back in 2010 because I had exhausted all of the "secrets" in my local area (at the time, Seattle, WA). I immediately made the account and started searching around, but the hobby kind of lost it's flare and I moved on to other things. Fast forward 2 years, I joined the military and started meeting all sorts of new people sharing stories of places you only hear about in whispers. It completely rekindled my need for exploration and with that epic adventures ensued. Since then I've explored miles of lava tubes and abandoned towns, searched areas not open to the general public (sadly can't take pictures there), stumbled upon ghost mines with all equipment still in place, and just enjoyed the opportunity to meet adventurous locals every where I go. Now I'm going to be honest, I completely forgot this site existed until I looked up an old boat I found in the middle of a frozen flat... and lo and behold up pops this sight with my account info still saved! I can't believe I forgot about such an amazing resource when it comes to networking with other responsible infiltrators! SO here I am, back in force to share and listen to stories, find new friends, and learn about those places unspoken. I'm going to have to dig through old memory cards to find my pictures from past adventures, but I'll try to get some posted up when I find them. I'm glad to be here and strive for that one day to get the almighty full membership! Safe travels and I look forward to meet up with some of you soon!

| | | Hi! My name is Kelli, I just joined and looking to see more sites seen by others for tips. I've been to a few places with just my boyfriend. Some have been very easy/public access, other's not so. I can't find much public online and it's hard to find stuff- hoping to find tips from others in the southeast (southeast GA) - I'm planning on taking a small road trip and would like to take scenic routes to find abandoned buildings/establishments? My boyfriends into the photography side of things - i like maybe a few pics with my phone and the "no one's been here in forever" feeling. I will post some photos soon -kb

| | | Hi All! I'm new to the UE community. I live in Toronto and I'm 32. I'm a documentary filmmaker and I'm really interested in learning about UE and the amazing community that surrounds it. I learned about UE recently when I read about it on the anniversary of Ninjalicious's passing and I think it's a really interesting way to engage with the city around you. I grew up in Toronto, and it's fascinating that there's a whole hidden side of the city that I never even knew about. I'd like to learn more from those members of the community that really see UE as more than simply thrill-seeking. It seems like this is much bigger than that -- almost a way to take back part of our environment and learn more about our surroundings. I've never formally been exploring, but I spent a lot of my childhood exploring abandoned barns and farmhouses near my cottage in Peterborough. I'd really love to meet up and do some exploring with people in downtown TO (I'm a little nervous to go by myself.) If anyone would like to chat, I'd really appreciate a message Looking forward to going to the meet-up on Nov 21st! Always happy to make new friends.
