Hi, my name is Nino...

I’ve been exploring abandoned places for about five years now.

To me, exploring is more than just a hobby. It’s one of the few times I feel truly alive. It’s hard to put into words if you haven’t been there, but it’s a quiet, heavy feeling. You see how everything eventually ends, no matter how much money or history was behind it.

I’ve walked through huge castles filled with beautiful antiques that families just walked away from. I’ve also been in tiny houses where people clearly had to leave because they couldn't pay the rent. Every place has a story. I don't always know the facts, but I can feel the traces of the people who lived there.

Lately, I’ve realized that life isn't about the big "wow" moments. It’s about the normal stuff we see every day: your favorite coffee cup or a plant in the corner growing toward the light. Seeing those "normal" things covered in abandoned ouses full of dust and dampness gives me a strange mix of sadness and peace. I feel lucky that I get to be there to see it.

Of course, there’s also the fear. The fear of what’s around the corner or what might happen in the dark. But I think that’s where the meaning of life is. You take one step in your comfort zone and one step in your fear. That’s where the magic happens.

I love documenting abandoned places and sharing them with others. I want everyone to be able to explore, whether you’re doing it through a screen or coming along with me in real life.
