ExploreUndercover was founded because we believe in the thrill and adventure of urban exploration, while also recognizing the importance of ethical and responsible exploration. Our community of explorers are committed to following a set of ethical guidelines that prioritize safety, preservation, and respect for the locations we visit.
We understand that exploring the urban environment can be a delicate undertaking, and our aim is to balance our passion for exploration with a deep sense of responsibility for the places we visit. By leaving no trace, preserving history, and respecting the boundaries of other explorers and communities, we believe that we can enjoy the adventure of urban exploration while also protecting the spaces we love.
The name ExploreUndercover conveys the idea that urban exploring is best done “undercover”, or without attracting too much attention from the public or law enforcement. It suggests that sharing information about your exploration on platforms such as social media can compromise the covert nature of the activity and lead to unwanted attention or consequences.
Our logo’s octagon shape represents a stop sign, which is meant to convey the idea of caution and careful consideration; stopping and considering your actions forward. The lighthouse on top symbolizes a guiding light, a beacon that serves as a warning of danger and a source of guidance and hope for those seeking safe passage.
Our community is open to anyone who shares our values and our commitment to ethical exploration. We welcome new explorers and experienced veterans alike, and we are always happy to share tips and advice. So if you share our passion for uncovering the hidden secrets of the urban landscape, we invite you to join us and ExploreUndercover.
