Hi, I’m Cori, and I’m a nerd about dark history, geopolitical oddities, and basically everything that includes abandoned buildings and urbexing. I love learning about the kind of history schools and media in the West usually skip. Through my travels, I try to see how the past still shapes the present, and what life looks like in different parts of the world. On this channel, I want to document my journeys and show the world as I see it. Hope you'll enjoy watching my vlogs :) business inquiries: [email protected]
