You may or may not know me as Alessa(Lara)Nitara. Among other things, I am an urban explorer and a gamer. This blog of my explorations came to life on June 21, 2014. I am also a researcher, so I do not give locations away. Proud editor of destroyed-and-abandoned. A kindred spirit once said: “I suppose some asylums serve their purpose long after they close their doors.”Tumblr (3.0; @urban-tombraider)http://urban-tombraider.tumblr.com/<img
