I went there last year on a tourist trip - walking around the exclusion zone and through the abandoned buildings was an amazing experience and I'd recommend it to anyone.

I've always really wanted to go. I'm quite familiar with the accident and thought it would be a great place to be a complete hermit :)

It's extremely peaceful and quiet there, so you'd probably be quite happy.
