Hello!
We are Twin Rhino, a collab between two individuals who bring you amazing content about travelling and things you could do while awaiting global pandemic restrictions to ease. Hey Coronavirus, go away, you little monster! 👹
This blog started in 2015 as a portfolio website to showcase Alan’s photographs about urban exploration and his utmost crazy travel adventures. Then it became a blog with random posts and today we are only adding more crazy adventures from pre-COVID times, back then when the globe was a lovely place for all of us to see and explore freely… 🛫
Hope to see your stunning country too one day!
Until then, adiós amigos…

Holland creates space | MVRDV – Expo 2000
“Holland creates space” was the theme for the Netherlands Pavilion at the 2000 World Expo in Hannover and on the day we visited this architectural masterpiece it didn’t look very “in use” to us.
Spreepark – Der Freizeitpark der DDR! Our squeaking adventure while exploring Berlin.
Imagine a theme park being abandoned for a couple decades or even years… Well this one was abandoned since 2002. Same year as the Belgian night club Zillion closed, although this park is located in eastern Germany, it is not that far away from the city center of Berlin, Germany’s capital.

Selected Highlights
Hong Kong
dec 2017
Alan & his Belgian friend Hannes explored many places, in fact many interesting ones often unseen by the casual person. Urban exploration is what keeps them thriving for even more adventure. Thanks to one of their videos on Youtube Antwerp Pre-Metro, The Hong Kong Radio & Television station RTHK contacted them for their Urban Exploration II series. Watch here.
After the wild exploration and interviews about abandoned buildings and even a whole town in Belgium they invited Alan to visit Hong Kong and I immediately agreed upon their request.
Spreepark
apr 2012
This theme park had quite a lot to offer from 1969 until 2002 for the many children of Berlin, including two urban explorers from Belgium while on holidays in 2014.
Space observatory
nov 2017
Intruiged by a famous comic called Futurama we saw this stunning excentric building which looks like an observatory and by accident found on Google maps. What else could hold us up to explore this unique characteristic building?
