In this episode I get to talk with an urban explorer who has made it his life passion to seek out abandoned locations, whether urban or rural. Originally from Poland, Greg currently lives in China and uses every opportunity he can to explore. He shares so many stories during our conversation including his ten hour interrogation by the Chinese authorities, his backpacking trip into a desolate part of Kazakhstan where Russia launches its rockets, and how he was able to capture photos inside an isolated dome shaped building built by the Communists in Bulgaria. He also shares why he is so passionate about exploring abandoned locations, or bandos, as they are referred to in the urbex community. He launched his podcast, Chasing Bandos, back in October as a way to tell forgotten stories and spread awareness as to what urbex is really about.
