On 26th April 1986 the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Northern Ukraine (former Soviet Union) became the scene of the worst manmade disaster in the history of mankind. An explosion at the plant was the result of a poorly designed experiment on reactor unit 4 conducted by inadequately trained personnel. The accident and the fire that followed released massive amounts of radioactive material into the clouds above Ukraine, that later fell as rain across Europe and as far away as Norway, Wales and Ireland. This released radioactivity was several times larger than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
During the time of the explosion I was living in North Eastern Poland and I was 5 years old. This tragedy was always in the back of my mind and it made me wonder what effect it had on us.
Throughout the years I developed a little obsession with this dark period of history and for years I had held a desire to visit Chernobyl, 32 years after the explosion I finally made it there.

In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet” because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.
Throughout my journey, I'm raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family lead as normal a life as possible so please donate generously: gogetfunding.com/arewethereyet/
