There are two kinds of people: pollution tourists… and aspiring pollution tourists.
For action-oriented people who'd like to get a first-hand look at what's wrong with our environment—and is there any better way to spend your precious vacation days?—I'll be posting all kinds of information and recommendations here.
And for the rest of you, who haven't yet seen the light, there will be pictures and video and maps and other goodies from my travels for the book, so you can live vicariously. Which is better than not living at all, I admit.
Feel free to make requests, and suggest destinations over at Visit Sunny Chernobyl: The Facebook Page. Or if you're feeling nostalgic, you can send team VSC a regular old email.
In the meantime, here's a detailed map of places I visited in the Exclusion Zone, as seen in chapter one… It's especially interesting to zoom in on Pripyat.
