And this year I wanted to see the best known abandoned buildings in the world because everything is vanishing really quickly. It may be demolished already, it may be reconverted or secured so you can't get in.Д«ut it's difficult because I have so many places. I search on the Internet and try to make a nice list of possible locations, because when you do urban exploring, you never know if you get in, get inside. Photographer Alexander Kaunas visited the disused site within Russia's launch center in Kazakhstan. Shortly after the dissolution of the USSR, Russia stopped developing its space shuttles, leaving behind something like a time capsule for an alternate history. In the Central Asian desert lie remnants of another era: two space shuttles in a massive hangar. But now you can see what happens when there are no people around, because it's untouched since 1974. It was a really nice island, with a lot of history.

It's where a James Bond movie was recorded and it's a UNESCO. It was really weird but, at the same time, amazing to see. Here in Europe, it would be looted within a few weeks. There are also shops that are still full. So it was pretty spooky but also sad to see. You can see a classroom and the children just left and the bags are still there on the table, and the fishes and turtles are dead in the aquarium. And when you go there, it's like a time capsule. It was abandoned six years ago because of the disaster. We were lucky.ДЇukushima was my second place because it was insane.

If you get seen, you get shot or at least imprisoned. The abandoned space shuttles in Baikonur number one, because it was really hard to get to and not many people have been there. From Soviet space shuttles to disaster-stricken cities, the urban explorer takes apart his favorite adventures from the year, and looks ahead to what 2018 might bring. In the rare times he's not exploring with his friends Eelco Kuijper and Frederick Sempels, Thissen owns a company that makes stop-motion movies. He's also founded popular Instagram and Facebook pages to go along with his YouTube account, which he continued after starring on the Dutch exploration show Exitus, which aired in 2016. He has visited hundreds of locales, including more than 50 countries on four continents. Thissen is an urban explorer, a subculture of people who explore manmade spots that, for one reason or another, have been abandoned and left to decay. Today, Thissen is the 32-year-old Dutch filmmaker behind the YouTube channel Exploring the Unbeaten Path, where he's upgraded from investigating urban sites with only his curiosity to now having a drone, quality cameras, and a microphone, too.
