Looking for travel partner to Chernobyl/Kiev

[PiranhA]

!!!ONLY RESPOND IF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED AND YOUR AGE IS OVER 18!!!

 

Im keeping it short for now and will provide additional information later. Im looking for somebody to travel with me (from schiphol-amsterdam) to Kiev, Ukraine as im planning to visit chernobyl/prypjat. I have no date set yet, but it will be in february/march or maybe beginning of april. You can join me on my visit into the redzone or stay in kiev and have a look around there. Im going in with a personal guide, if you decide to join we will be with the 2 of us. Price (ticket/hotel/transport) will be around 300 euro but i can help out a bit if needed. The guide  (english speaking) itself costs around 1000 euro for 2 days, payd by me. The trip will last 4 days and ill spend 1 night in the redzone (you can sleep in kiev if you want). This offer is not exclusive for ahoy, im asking on other places (travel-sites) aswell as i expect nobody here will have the -whatever- to join me (prove me wrong)!

"Get out of here,Stalker !"

 

at least someone doesnt do boring vacations,right

And who would miss out on hotels with no guaranteed hot water supply,eh?

I´m quite sure i cant make that timeline,but i m reconsidering it.

 

Also,starting from NLD equals to having a mediocre stash of weeds to begin with

I guarantee you're gonna love it, and not having to drag along a bunch of other tourists is gonna be great

 

You might see some armed uniforms around, after Crimea, so be prepared for that.

 

If you find an apple on a tree, chances are you can eat it with no ill effects.

 

Don't put anything on the ground. Anywhere. Ever.

There are actual mutant fish in the outdoor pool previously used for the reactor cooling systems.

 

Beg anyone you can to be allowed into one of the reactor buildings. No, it's not dangerous, but it's mostly students and others with professional interests who get allowed in.

 

Have a good trip

 

Oh, and I'll leave this link here for anyone who wants more Zone:

Hey @Michal

 

Yeah, its alot of money, the private guide is what it makes so expensive, but theres a few thing i want to do/see that does not include in normal tours. I would like to stand on masha (the roof next to the reactor) and see inside the dome. Im even trying te get close to the elephants foot.

 

Would like to have a chat with you on teamspeak, might do it when ur back so i can learn from your experiences. In advance: have a good trip, i hope youll learn alot and remember the sacrifice those people made, especially the liquidators and firefighters.

How close?

That thing is still pretty radioactive (elephant's foot). Funf act: picture of it was taken from behind a bend in the corridor, using two mirrors. Trying to get a direct picture resulted in camera being fried by radiation.

Wouldn't recommend it, your ass might literally fall off before you leave the room again.
