I get to do and see many amazing things these days. Each adventure is bringing something to a new level, being more extreme, trying something new. The Ukraine trip was different though. I just knew in my soul that visiting the Chernobyl exclusion site was going to effect me in a way I couldn't grasp.... and it did. You will "never" understand the scale of the situation unless you visit it. You will never get the feeling of what has happened unless you visit it and you will never understand just how much mankind can fuck up unless you visit it. It was truly a humbling time for me. The moment I first got altitude to see the size of everything it blew me away, the way mother nature is taking back what once was hers is quite a unique site and the shear lack of animals was eerie.
Thank you to all those who made this trip of a lifetime possible and thank you to the locals who who made our stay so welcoming.
