Welcome to this website dedicated to Urban Exploring. My name is Andre Joosse and I like you to show the abandoned parts of the world.

Urban exploration, urbex or UE, is the examination of the normally unseen or off-limits parts of human civilisation. Abandoned industry, hospitals and even military bases.

Armed with flashlight and cameras we search for natural decay, as nature grows trees on the roof and weeds in the carpet.

From more info about me and urban exploring, check the menu on the right.

You can watch the EditieNL broadcast featuring a portrait on me and urban exploring here

Also I like to thank the bloggers who spend an article on me as urban explorer. Check Jacob Christensen, Wired blogs, Ann In The Morning and this article on Nieuwsblad.be. (Dutch) The local newspaper did an article on me. A full page article was in the PZC on 20 January 2007. Click here to read the text. (Dutch only)

And a brand new blogpost: on cityzine (dutch), Taxi brousse and Canoe.ca (french).
