In today's video, I share my honest thoughts with you about North Korea after 4 years since my visit... I didn't mention in the video that I am one of the very last Americans to step foot in the country because a few months after I left, all Americans were banned from visiting (which is still in effect today).

I often think about North Korea and I wanted to take this time to re-tell my story, share my thoughts, and also get some feedback from you. What are your opinions about North Korea? Would you ever visit North Korea?

I Just Got Banned From North Korea

North Korea is the most isolated and interesting country in the world. I had the chance to visit Pyongyang for 3 nights, 4 days back in April 2017 - and shortly after I left, Americans became banned from visiting. To this day, I think that I'm one of the last dozen Americans to step foot in North Korea, and I'm glad that I'm here to tell the stories. In this video, I share 4 reasons why I will never go back to North Korea.

Just out of curiosity - have you ever been there, or are you planning to go (if you don't hold a U.S. passport?) Let me know in the comments down below!

She Escaped North Korea to Live in South Korea

WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO ESCAPE FROM NORTH KOREA?

We've all heard stories about people escaping North Korea for a better life... and today in Seoul (South Korea), I was able to sit down with one ambitious North Korean girl named Nara, to hear the struggles that she went through.

Long story short, Nara escaped North Korea in 2015 by swimming over the river into China. Then, she illegally entered Thailand without a passport, where she was thrown in jail for 1 month. After getting in touch with the South Korean embassy, they granted her citizenship and allowed her to move to Seoul.

While it was difficult for her to adjust to South Korean culture at first, she now lives a great life as an actress on TV and making videos for her YouTube and Instagram accounts (@kang_naraa)

This has been a special story for me to create because I spent 4 days in North Korea in 2017 and I got a glance at what society she grew up in... We chatted about everything from her thoughts on Kim Jong-un to the struggles that she faces adjusting to life in South Korea today.

If you find Nara's story inspiring - please share this video with your friends!

Thoughts on North Korea After 1 Year...

???? My JUST GO APP is here! Connect w/ travelers for free:
✅ SUBSCRIBE for more travel videos:

Last year at this time, I was in Pyongyang, North Korea. It was the most eye-opening and surreal trip of my life. And the fact that I can speak Korean after living in Seoul, gave me a deeper understanding for what was happening around me, North of the 38th parallel.

One year later, I cannot stop thinking about my trip to North Korea --especially after all of the events & controversies that have happened since then. It's surreal to know that I'm one of the last Americans to visit the country, as the U.S. government issued a travel ban on all Americans to visit the DPRK effective last July.

I just put together this video to recap my thoughts and realizations about North Korea, as I take you back on my interesting journey around the most isolated country in the world.

What are your thoughts on North Korea? Would you ever go there if you had the chance? If you are considering a trip, let me know and I can connect you with my friends at Koryo Tours, the amazing company I went with.

North Korea UNSEEN INTERVIEW (not what you think!)

This is my 2nd YouTube channel, if you don't already subscribe to my main channel, you can check it out here:

I went on an organized trip to Pyongyang, North Korea in April, 2017 -- and since Americans became banned 2 months after my trip, I can safely assume that I'm one of the last Americans to step foot on North Korean soil.

Right after I ran a 10K in the Pyongyang Marathon, I spontaneously interviewed this man, who was my amazing tour guide. He has such a kind heart and he truly means the endearing words that he says about the USA and how the world should reconsider their thoughts about North Korea.

Would you ever go to North Korea? Comment your thoughts below!
