Stepping into a Forbidden Country: Our DMZ Tour Experience
What's it like to step inside the forbidden country of North Korea? We're taking you to the most intense border on the planet... the DMZ at the 38th parallel dividing North and South Korea. This is the very scene of defections and conflicts since the 1950s. We're going on a tour inside the famous blue buildings at Panmunjom, where we stare face to face with the enemy. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, and we'll show you how to do it right in this episode of @windowseatworldtravel

Today in Chicago, I had the pleasure to meet a young North Korean girl named Evelyn. 6 years ago, when she was 15 years Evelyn, she escaped North Korea with her mother for a better life. Both without passports, they spent 1 month traveling by foot across China, Laos and Thailand - where the South Korean government officially recognized her as a refugee and she was granted permission to migrate to the United States of America.
In this eye-opening interview, Evelyn tells me her escape story and how she has managed to integrate so well into American society. She lives all by herself and just bought her first car (with her hard-earned income!).

My Daily Life In NORTH KOREA (MYSTERIOUS 7 DAY TRIP)
UPDATE - one year after visiting North Korea I traveled to South Korea and made a video comparing my experiences in both of these two countries. Watch it here: also, if you're thinking of traveling to North Korea yourself, watch this video to see why that might not be a good idea: and think twice before making that decision. Lastly, if you want to learn more about the history of North Korea (in just 4 mins), watch this:

I've always been very interested in North Korea because it seemed to be one of the most unique and mysterious countries in the whole world. This is my day to day life throughout the 7 days that I spent in North Korea. You can never be sure whether things were staged or not in North Korea because you are only shown what they want you to see. You can't choose where or when you will be going to specific places, they simply tell you to hop on a bus and ask you to get off at one point or another.
That is why I didn't want to offer my opinion about whether things were staged or not, whether they were good or not, or honest or not. My goal was to show you what my day to day life looked like when I was there and let you make up your own mind and judge for yourself.
Do not judge North Korea only from what you see in this video. This is what they showed us and there's a reason they show some things and not show the others. Also, knowing how much control they exercise over the population, everything could have been staged only for us.

Have you ever heard of ASHGABAT, TURKMENISTAN before? If not, then get ready to learn about how strange it is here in my 170th country.
I've spent the last 24 hours roaming around the capital city of Ashgabat, and IT REMINDS ME EXACTLY OF PYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA in just about every way possible. Huge fancy buildings with very few people inside perfectly manicured gardens and boulevards with nobody on them and this eerie feeling that someone is watching over my shoulder 24/7. TURKMENISTAN IS WEIRD.
People had told me that Ashgabat was strange, but I had no idea to what extent it was until arriving here.... Find out everything you need to know about Turkmenistan's capital in this video!
How many of you guys actually knew about this place? Would love to see a show of hands :)

10 Things Forbidden To Buy in North Korea
Get more Tips here!
We are used to buy anything we think of, but if we're heading to North Korea. We should bare in mind that due to the sanctions by the United Nations plus the restrictions by kim jong Un, there're lots of products we can't buy there.
1) Cable TV
As you can imagine, all the tv programes are monitored by the Government. In fact, they even have a strict scheadule, the tv channel starts at 3 pm. Everything that you can see has already been pre-approved, and it's basically, news, propaganda, documentaries and the activities of their leader. So fun!
2) Smoking
In 2007, smoking was completely forbidden to avoid health issues in their former leader Kim Jong Il. However his son and actual leader has been seen several times smoking freely and with no restrictions at all.
3) Magazines
Of course, we're talking about international magazines, forget about the ones you already know, you won't find them. This happens to avoid being brainwashed from foreign media. So, instead, they have others controlled by their Government, full of national propaganda and the activities of their leader. Very entertaining for sure...
4) Christmas trees
The country says to support any religion custom, however, that's not true. If you show a preference for any other religion you will have lots of really big problems. And... Christmas trees represent another religion so... you can imagine the consequences of having one.
5) Ipad
Apple company has restrictions on this country so they don't sell their products there, also in North Korea is completely forbidden to have one or an Iphone. However, their leader Kim Jong Un is allowed to own them and he doesn't hesitate in taking pictures with them.
6) Houses
It's a very strange thing for us to think of a country where you can't own a home, but... this is North Korea. So, here, the thing is that there are no builders, the army build everything, and... also, instead of buying a house, flat or whatever, you trade it. It's forbidden to own properties.
7) Birth control methods
Many North Korean people don't even know what they are. They used to sell them in the black market, however they don't do that anymore because they were expensive and unknown.
8) Jeans
Yes! you heard it right! Jeans! Well, the North Korean Government controls... everything. So the style of clothing is not less. They have established a specific style that doesn't involve jeans at all. In fact, it's forbidden, so you won't find them on the stores.
9) Coca cola
The real coca cola is impossible to find in this country due to the international sanctions. However, there is a fake Chinese coca cola that try to replace it on the stores. So if you are too anxious for one, maybe you can try this one.
10) Mc Donalds
No, you won't find any Mc Donalds at all in North Korea due to the international sanctions. Sure, you can find some burguer over there, but it will never be the same. If you go there, try to eat them before you travel.
Did you already know all of these restrictions in North Korea?

Top 10 Things to See and Do in Busan - South Korea Travel Guide
🔗 KOREA TOURISM ORGANIZATION:
🎥 WATCH: EXOTIC RAW SEAFOOD IN BUSAN -
🧳 BLOG: TOP 25 THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN BUSAN:
DISCLAIMER: Brands mentioned are based on my own personal taste.
Back in May of 2019, I had the pleasure of exploring the coastal city of Busan, South Korea. These are the top 10 things you must see and do in Busan!
1. GAMCHEON CULTURE VILLAGE: An artsy, colorful, and labyrinth-like historical neighborhood that’s offers breathtaking ocean and mountain views, as well as unusual street food. Try the bungeoppang and the orange gelatin balls with powdered peanuts!
2. HAEUNDAE BEACH: The longest beach in South Korea and one of the country’s most popular beaches. Throughout the year, it hosts events such as the Polar Bear Club and part of the Busan International Film Festival. It’s also a great place to sunbathe, swim, and enjoy water sports.
3. JAGALCHI MARKET: Korea’s largest seafood market, which contains multiple levels that include seafood vendors, restaurants, and dining halls. Buy a fish from a vendor on the sprawling lower level and have them send it up to the cooks on the third level to enjoy an incredible chobap feast!
4. BIFF SQUARE: A large square across from Jagalchi Market that hosts part of the Busan International Film Festival. It’s home to many street food vendors who offer everything from sweet to savory to exotic foods. Try the eomuk, sundae, mandu, dakgangjeong, garibi, roasted stuffed marshmallow, and waffle ball!
5. BUSAN TOWER: A 120-meter-tall tower in Yongdusan Park that offers the best views of Busan. The circular observation deck at the top allows you to see Busan’s neighborhoods and attractions from countless angles. You can also visit the gift shops and galleries on the lower levels.
6. TAEJONGDAE RESORT PARK: A beautiful, natural area in a thick, evergreen forest on the island of Yeongdo, just off the coast of downtown Busan. Visit the Taejongdae Clam Tents for a unique and squirmy seafood lunch, and then explore the park to see Buddhist temples, seaside lighthouses, gorgeous cliffs, and distant islands in the ocean.
7. SHINSEGAE CENTUM CITY: The largest shopping complex in the world, which boasts nine levels and countless stores, kiosks, and restaurants. You’ll find everything from cosmetics shops to casual apparel stores to luxury boutiques inside. There are even an arcade and an ice-skating rink!
8. SAJIK BASEBALL STADIUM: The best place in Busan to enjoy South Korea’s favorite pastime, baseball! The atmosphere in the stands as fans cheer on the Lotte Giants is electric! Complete the experience by getting a jersey or a hat, having a cold beer, and enjoying some tteokbokki and eomuk from the concession stand!
9. YONGDUSAN PARK: A 69,000-square-meter park that is home to Busan Tower, the Museum of World Folk Instruments, and the Exhibition Hall of World Model Boats. There are also wonderful outdoor spaces with lots of trees!
10. BEOMEOSA TEMPLE: Busan’s most famous Buddhist temple. For full immersion, book an overnight stay to learn about Korean Buddhist culture from the resident monks, take part in prostrations and meditation, and enjoy delicious monastic meals.
BONUS – DAY TRIP TO DAEGU: Roughly an hour northwest of Busan is the city of Daegu, which is off the beaten path for most tourists. I recommend visiting Kim Kwang-seok Street and trying the galbi jjim at Bongusan jjimgalbi!
And those are the top 10 things you must do in Busan, South Korea!

North Korea - Visiting as a Tourist.
Australian filmmaker Mark Shea ( takes a trip to North Korea (The People's Democratic Republic of Korea) with Young Pioneer Tours.
Listening to the news, watching hatchet job videos on youtube, anyone would believe North Korea was a dangerous place to visit. I myself as a travel video producer was a little concerned before entering, afraid my camera equipment would be confiscated at the border. Instead what I found was a country just starting to open to tourism. I was treated like royalty and allowed to pretty much film anything I wanted, other than groups of soldiers.
At the moment, to visit the DPRK one must go with a tour company. I myself went with Young Pioneer Tours who run small group tours for westerners at a budget price. The other options are going with a Chinese tour which are larger and, from what I saw, tend to rush groups through locations quicker. Young Pioneer Tours work in North Korea with two local guides. They have been running tours to North Korea since 2008, so they know how the DPRK works better than anyone. The tours are highly organised and, as tourism is a relatively new endeavour, tend to focus on viewing sites more than interacting with locals. For someone who makes travel videos focusing on meeting the locals, this was a new experience for me, but I still found there were plenty of chances to chat with our guides and various other guides throughout the tour.
The first thing that hits you when you travel by train into North Korea is how lush and green it is, every available space is used to grow food such as corn and rice. It looks like an agrarian wonderland, hills of rolling green dotted with small villages. On closer inspection, one notices the lack of machinery, the ox and cart, everything from cutting grass to ploughing fields, done by hand. The contrast with the enormity of China is startling.
Arriving in the capital Pyongyang, the next thing to hit you, is the lack of cars, no roadblocks, no bottlenecks, just wide open boulevards. The footpaths on the other hand are full of people, walking, riding bikes, always on the move. The public transport system includes electric buses and a two line subway system.
Our tour took in three main locations; sites around the capital -- Pyongyang, Kaesong -- the capital of Korea during the Koryo Dynasty and the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
I'm not going to go into every detail of the tour, but there were many highlights. In each location we were given ample opportunity to take any photos we pleased (apart from photographing groups of military)
Highlights for me in Pyongyang included the amazing murals and statues. I particularly liked the quirky 'music room' full of boomboxes in the Grand People's Study House.
Kaesong, the ancient capital of Korea, is like a tourism boom town waiting to happen. It did not escape me that we were the only group walking the quaint cobbled streets surrounded by traditional houses. Visiting the museum and learning of the history of the Koryo period, I thought to recent history, political movements, and how only sixty years have made the two Korea's, North and South, so distinguishable.
The demilitarised zone really took me by surprise. I was expecting stern faced soldiers ready for attack. Instead I discovered bus loads of Chinese tourists, snapping photos with obliging soldiers.
I'd read a fair bit about North Korea before I traveled there, I'm well aware of it's problems. But I also believe tourism can have positive effects on a country. What we are seeing in North Korea is a change, a change I believe will be for the better.
There is a lot you won't be able to talk about with your North Korean Guides on current tours and there is a lot of the country you won't see. BUT if you want to see a country like nothing else on earth, at a fascinating stage in history, North Korea is well and truly open for tourism!
Be quick, the winds of change blow strong in the year of a Rising Dragon.

A truce was called to the Korean war in 1953, but since then there have been many conflicts. In November 2010 4 missiles striked this island and the residents had to be evacuated. Today it's one of the world's most heavily fortified, military guarded islands in the world. Me and my mate Bart headed there to check it out. #Northkorea #southkorea #korea #koreanwar

What is it REALLY like to visit the North Korean Border??
The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula that serves as a buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea dividing Korea almost in half. In this day tour from Seoul we learn about the history and ongoing conflict between the 2 sides and look into the illusion that is presented as North Korea. We also visit the infamous third tunnel.
The DMZ serves as a reminder that the desire for reunification continues to flicker, waiting for the right conditions to reignite. While it might evoke a sense of sadness and frustration, it ultimately encourages reflection and hope. It certainly made us far more aware of the human cost of conflict, the power of resilience, and the enduring desire for a peaceful and unified future for the Korean people.
Sadly, the tensions between the two countries are at an all-time high. There is every chance that the DMZ may once again become the epicenter of another major conflict, and this might just be the last chance you may have to visit it.

WE VISITED THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER 🇰🇵 (DMZ Tour from Seoul)
In today's video we're heading into the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between South and North Korea! It's a 4 km wide and 250 km long strip of land that serves as a buffer zone between North and South Korea. It is considered the most dangerous border in the world and we were able to (safely) witness it with our own eyes with a guided day tour from Seoul.
