Indigo Traveller
By smuggling that note out of the country...though the risk be low...did you not risk arrest by the North Korean authorities?
Indigo Traveller dude , why the boring intro in each and every NK video ?
Indigo Traveller Did the hotel had wi-fi?
How manu channels the tv had and about what?
Indigo Traveller hi dude
Great series on North Norea. Well done. I'm 44 and from USA. Won't be going anytime soon but thanks to you it feels like I was given an amazing tour. Thank you.
Completely agree, great stuff. (UK, 32 here)
but you can go at your own risk but heres the truth bro there isnt any risk ......peoples travelling to india or south east asia gets more fatalities than any bt u get my point
You better not
@@debdssssss6329 true. Safer traveling in North or south Korea than in those shitty countries. But a bit expensive 250 dollars a day your 8-day trip
@I Want Kim Jong-Un To Kill Me Dude, most people don't want to die. But judging by your user name North Korea seems like a great place for you!
I'm actually kinda sad these series is coming to an end, I really enjoyed the NK tour through your videos and it's one of the few "TH-cam series" that I didn't mind (having various episodes per trip). Loved it, loving your comments about it and hoping to see more great stuff from you soon!
Thank you ❤️
I discovered your channel 3 days ago, already watched all the Nepal, Bangladesh and India series. You don't just show places, people and things, but make the watcher feel as if he/she was there with you. Amazing job indeed.
Thank you, that's so cool! Many more to come ❤️
Indigo Traveller can't wait!
@@IndigoTraveller 😁
I'm not telling no lie .I was really relieved to see you made it out in one piece of the north K. Bravo...
why he was* being respectful not punching things or being crazy
He stole some of the money he wasn't supposed to take with him though. I mean I don't think it's a big deal, but I'm worried if he goes back to NK he would be put in prison for it or worse.
Same here 😁
As long as you don't steal posters or disrespect the Dear Leader, you should be OK.
After watching the North Korean series, I’ve been hooked to your channel. Keep up the travel videos!!! Absolutely love them!
And come to singapore! From here, with love!
Thank you my friend!
he is not in north korea but china......
Me too, 3+ years later lol
I'm from the USA and I went to North Korea in June of 2017. I also used Young Pioneer Tours and they were pretty good with the tours. I was the last American to go with that company.
Is it possible to still go to North Korea in 2027?
Can US citizen still go??
I guess an American still go to NK on his/her own, but many tour companies will not accept American tourists. And the US State Dept says as much - they say a US citizen can request a visa but that he/she should make plans for their funeral and for who should accept guardianship for children and pets prior to travel. There is thirst for adventure on the one hand and then there is suicidal risk-taking on the other. No American should attempt such a trip at this time.
@@beachblond1968 yeah and why no American is asking question why is that?? there must be reason right??
@@beachblond1968 I have an Italian passport and I can enter the country
Randomly found this channel by chance. I'm definitely going to binge-watch all of your videos right now.
GeoShock ϟ thats what i dis. Binged them for 2 days.. enjoyed everyone too.
Great series. Enjoyed every minute of it! Binged on all of them this morning. As a US citizen I am not allowed to travel to N Korea, so this was extremely informational and appreciated. Thank you!
I'm American, I won't be going, but I'm thankful you documented the whole trip so beautifully. I almost felt like I was there with you. Thank you for that. 😃
Just found your channel the other week and have been binge watching all your content. I just finished the Chernobyl and NK "series" and love them. Definitely looking forward to more - keep it up, brother.
Thank you ❤️
Just binge watched same. Was very interesting. He makes good videos you could watch all day.
Enjoyed your videos on North Korea, I don't think I would be in a hurry to pay a visit but thanks to you we have seen the county from a different perspective. Thanks for your time.
Thank you Nic!
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 nice vlog!
@@hi1msalty885 hahaha so witzig
Ich hab n steifen
@@DerAachener okay.
Excellent series. You're definitely my favorite traveler.
You've created such an amazing series, it's been super interesting watching all of the episodes! Can't wait for the Q&A! :D
This was amazing, thank you for sharing this trip! It was surreal to watch through your journey!
I love hearing you speak Indigo. When I watch your videos, I feel you are letting me in on some secret, privileged information.
Thank you George ❤️✌️
Watch a lot of travel videos on TH-cam but your channel by far is the best. Informative, interesting and hugely entertaining to watch. Keep it up mate and keep living the dream 🤙🏻
They only let you into the rich part.
I used to live in South Korea and we could see their cardboard city.
You were able to see Pyongyang from South Korea, over 200km away?? Your vision must be extraordinary.👍😂🤣
@Inutile Productions not including the 6 other jackasses that liked his comment
Really. So its just like the movie The Interview, its really a staged country? Thats crazy to me, why waste time doing that. I dont get it
John Allen If you take a camera and zoom in a ton you can see it, it’s meant to be seen. My mother still has pictures of it from we lived there.
@@JonathanAllen0379 not Pyongyang
he was talking about Kijong dong the fake village on the other side of the border
you can zoom on it if you have a good telephoto lens
Thank you so much for this series!❤️❤️❤️
I just found your channel and I dig your videos (only watched N. Korea vids so far). So many travel channels seem to be about "see how awesome my life is!" but you're genuinely sharing the cultural experiences you encounter. I look forward to more and am certainly jealous.
"Considering they are North Korean souvenirs they are priceless" I bet Otto Warmbier was thinking that aswell ;)
@Christiaan Overgaard exactly!
@Christiaan Overgaard His was limited edition.
I have loved this series so much. Thank you for making this!!
Thank you ❤️❤️
@@IndigoTraveller Amazing series, btw how old are you ?
I’m binge watching all your videos, love these! Thanks for sharing with us.
WOW...JUST WOW!! I have been following your videos for a few weeks now and have gone back to your early stuff and worked my way back to get a feel for where you are at. Let me first say that you content is great, Your narrative is filled with pertinent information, you cover things that the average person wants to know about travel ( not vacationing which I think is a whole other thing) and how to see the real world and I feel like I am there included in the experience. Second... I find your editing and mixing skills absolutely what tips off your whole channel experience, I hope soon someone appreciates your skills enough to land you a huge contract...... best of wishes.
i really love your videos! it's really interesting :)
Really enjoyable and fun to watch.I like your sense of honesty and respect to the country you visit. The best North Korea related short series of documentaries I found on youtube. Thank You :)
Thank you for the interesting series.
Love these NK series you are great man x
you are just too good.....wish you luck buddy,, stay healthy, stay safe
Cheers!
The safe it like really scary to me now
Just subscribed to you after one of your other NK videos was suggested to me. Looking forward to watching the whole series! I think you’re right that this could become the next tourist destination as things are looking promising in terms of Kim’s new approach and outlook. Slowly but surely change is being made but we will have to find out how long this will last.
Thank you ❤️
Just binge watching all your vlogs from NK.. Made me feel I was there too! Thank you very much!!❤️
Love these videos man! Keep it up.
Found your channel this week, loved your N.K. series, became a patron, and started watching your vlogs from the beginning, almost 60 so far. Keep up the great work, Nick!
Thank you ❤️
Absolutely loving this whole series on North Korea. Really interesting but looks exhausting! It's on my list for sure.
Cheers, Scott!
Great videos, truly enjoyed watching thank you.
That was a great informative series. You done a great job I cant express how fantastic. Thanks so much.
Well done. Really enjoyed watching these NK videos!
Thank you ❤️
Nice name
It's crazy how your channel blew up the last couple of weeks. Remember sitting here a year ago with the Morocco vlogs with you having a couple thousand subscribers.
Just have been to Georgia a month ago and loved it, also have been to Kutaisi, Mestia and Batumi, will be going there again one day!
Thank you Dieter for all your support over the past year. Glad you enjoyed Georgia, epic country!
Dieter, your 100% correct, the channel is close to 200k subscribers, when I started watching Nick I think it has about 20k, well over a year ago. So glad that you visited Georgia, I visited Albania last year and im off to Montenegro in 2 months. Would never had considered these countries if it was not for Nick and his amazing videos, completely inspirational and way off the usual tourist tracks.
You're brave!! Everything you do is interesting, keep up the good work
❤❤❤
Your tour videos are just exceptional! Totally informative, well-presented and just wonderful to view. Many, many thanks from NYC and looking forward to more of your destination filming!
Love your channel bro
Thank you ❤️
A very interesting series....I'm just finished watching your trip to AZERBAIJAN which was very good as well...keep up the good work Nick !
Thank you Peter!
This has been such a good series. Absolutely fascinating and so well edited! We can't believe how much you did in such a short time frame. You must have been exhausted! Looking forward to your next adventures (as always).
Very interesting topic. I´m looking forward to the last episode of this series, so far it´s been awesome :D Thanks a lot
Horrible government but an absolutely beautiful amazing country.
Bolt The government in North Korea provides its citizens with free universal healthcare, education, and housing, including many other benefits despite having a GDP per capita of around 40% of South Korea, and 25% that of the USA.
Nuclear Armament
Wowwwww.
All that shit is immediately negated by the fact they have concentration camps. Its ridiculous I’m even having to explain this to you.
Yeah, you tell em. Our propaganda is better than theirs.
Brian Jakubowski
Our propaganda is bad. But Theirs is so bad that its literally built into their society.
Listen. If i have to explain why north korea is by far worse than the United States, then you people are too far gone to be helped. And honestly I’m not even sure if you deserve to be helped if you’re that ignorant. Maybe you all should just be allowed to go to North Korea so you can come home brain dead like that one American guy did.
Nuclear Armament do you know that the North Korea soldier is much smaller than the world population due to malnutrition?
Was it nice to live without internet and phone, tv and such? I imagine it was really calm and nice there. Also suuuper fresh air. or no?
If you watch his videos he goes to all kinds of places with no TV , phone or Internet . I think he can handle it just fine .
Love the video. Keep up the good work!
you are fearless. Not only NK but all the places you have been so far. you got balls. keep up the good work!!!
Love your work !
This channel is so under rated. Big shout out :)
Cheers mate!
Thanks a lot for this series! Watched all in one go without getting bored thanks to your brilliant editing techniques. I can only imagine how many bad and shaky clips you had to choose from to put this together. You really managed to give a nuanced image of people's lives both in the city and at the countryside as well as whats it's like to be on a guided tour like this. Very informative and unbiased!
If you plan to visit the DMZ from the south side, check that the "Joint Security Area" is included in the tour and not just the DMZ itself! If not you will miss out those blue houses at Panmunjom once again. Hopefully it will be transformed into "memorial peace area" in the future and I think your videos may actually have helped a little to make that happen.
found your channel through this series bc North Korea fascinates me, so gutted the series is over but grateful I’ve found a travel channel I actually enjoy watching so thank you! x
Great video new perspective are always good.
I literally watched this whole series because A. Interested in your NK experience. B. More importantly, you are damn handsome.
You spent in 8 days, what the average North Korean earns in 2 years.
I loved these series!
Thank you for taking us with you! This NK series brought me to your channel and now I am subscriber. Enjoyed tons of your other vids! Love your personality and keep up the great work! Regards
Yeah support the country with tourism, good job. Nice country.
Best vlogs on TH-cam, has everything, educational, funny and very professional in the way everything is handled.
You are a credit to humanity for the love and respect you show to others and the environment you find yourself in. Well done and keep it up. Defo a sub and all likes from me! Peace. ✌
So kind, thank you so much ❤️
Indigo Traveller you are welcome and I can't wait to see what the future holds! Stay safe and thank you for making these videos. ❤
awesome vids man, really enjoyed these NK series.
Great video nick glad to get a insight from a tourist 👊 good to learn about this country
Thank you Jon!
Wow im not the type that likes watching things i ussually lose focus very quickly and very easily but this North Korean series has been something else ive never benge watched anything, but i watched all of this in bassically ome sitting. It really felt like I was with you on your journey keep up the great work Nick🙂
Thank you so much for watching ❤️
Ty for replying this made my week☺
Thank you so much for these exceptional vids of your NK travel!
❤️
I know I'm late, but thank you for making this series. I appreciate the fact that you just kind turned the camera on when you could and let it roll (I'm not going to read the other comments because I'm pretty sure I know what they say already.) and like your approach. I think this was an honest look at the country and answered a lot of my questions. I'm a "See with my own eyes." type myself so I like the fact that you went and found out. I'm surprised at the access that you actually had.
This intro is 👌👌👌
Thank you ❤️
I totally agree
I would never get drunk there
Why not? If u acting like a dick when u drink you can get problems not only in NK but in any country :)
onegmsgmailcom Jeah... but the chances to wake up in a concentration camp is much higher in north korea the in any other country :D
@@herrmannmichael93: Not really. If you're the wrong color or nationality in the United States, you could wind-up in such a place. They just call it something else.
Such an interesting series.
Great series on this unique and isolated country. And I'll be going in April 2020. Can't wait!!!
What was your favorite part of your trip to NK? Thank you for this series. It has been fascinating.
Thank you, being disconnected from the outside world was great
I would have a panic attack if I was at NK
Greetings Nick, I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago, and like many have gone through your beginnings, travelled with you vicariously both in countries I have visited and indeed lived in, as well as those I have not. The thing which impresses me most about you, aside from your exceptional talent for photography, and documentary style, is that you, my friend are doing something extraordinary in terms of bringing people together. I've long believed in a global community, one removed from the corporate world and media indoctrination. In my own travels, I too have always embraced and celebrated the host countries, and happily made friends in the same way. Well done my friend. The You Tube world is a better place since you arrived. Wishing you continued success.
New Subscriber here! Thank you Indigo Traveller! This was an amazing trip, thanks for having me tag along!
You should have 10 million subscribers! You make awesome videos that make me feel like I’m there too! You’re a cutie too lol
Thank you ❤️
🇷🇴 Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴, once a communist country, now, we hope for an Europe's rising star. Maybe you'll visit us one day. Great series! Keep up the good work, man!
Capitalism has turned Romania into a shithole. It was glorious under Communism. I want to move to Cuba
Hey such an awesome series looking forward to the last episode.
This series was my 1st of your videos that I watched. I'm now watching though all your others so insightful for someone who is started travelling in the last few years around a full-time job. You've given me loads of ideas and places to go and see.
I've always thought about travelling to North Korea and watching your series made me think about more doing it more.
P.s Btw I looked up that company they do a 22 day trip which is insane.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to future Vlogs
I appreciate your channel! I dont watch many travel vlogs or vlogs in general but this one felt special. Exited every time I get a new video in my feed! 🌝
Thank you mate ❤️
Such an underrated travel channel 🙌🏼
Great series dude, you've inspired me to wanna go there in the not so distant future 😊✌🏼
Enjoy max, take care!
El mundo necesita más youtubers como tú!
Such a good series youre a joy to watch keep up the amazing work 😍
Cheers!

Indigo Traveller Thanks Bro...
I really enjoy this series, mate! Good job. I can't tell if you are a brave sombitch or a stupid one. Lol
All joking aside, this has been very educational and informative. So, thanks for going to NK for us so that we don't have to. Stay safe.
Peace & love, brother!
Haha cheers my friend ❤️
I just found your videos.. I just love them... Great work!!!
Thank you James!
thank you for all the info!
€2000 for going to NK😳😳 I will travel to 10 European countries with that money 🙄💁🏻♂️
Let me know if you ever go to Argentina ! Will give you home ! Cheers !

I'd like to see him do Venezuela too. That would be interesting and important these days, given the current political/economic situation there. I pray for the Venezuelans to find stability, prosperity, and peace.

Thank you for the Great video
Whats the North Korea song in the intro?
Yes, please!
I know that i found it a year or so ago when i just looked up "north korean propaganda music" on youtube
Maybe North Korea will capitalise on the curiousity and fascination and build a prosperous tourist economy.
Ben, absolutely, as long as nothing bad happens to tourists, this could work.
If it was their plan to become more touristic, they should have released Otto Wambier earlier. They are really killing themselves economically for their backwards beliefs.. in most touristic countries the US is a huge capital inflow, not possible for NKorea now.
These videos are absolutely amazing. Everything I thought about NK before this series was what I saw from the 10+ year old VICE Travel docuseries. Keep it up.
Fantastic tour the most unbiased I have seen yet. I would like to go as it seems to be a very picturesque place. Thank you for your input
The North Korean Regime is desperate for hard currency. It is willing to subsidize costs internally to obtain cash that can be used for external purchases. When utilizing slave labor, this is much easier to implement. Whether or not someone says they are supporting or not supporting the regime, by traveling there as a tourist and providing the regime with hard currency, the person essentually has supported it. If there was a plausible way to use tourism to open up contacts with ordinary citizens and build bonds, that would be great, but it can be seen how tightly controlled contacts are. Because of the tight controls, it is difficult for anyone to act in a news/information gathering role other than saying there were tight controls.
Lewis Doherty The USA used slave labor for centuries "legally" and still has a massive prison population that still conducts this "legal" de facto slavery, who are you to insinuate North Korea is any worse than any other nation in the entire world on average when it comes to the usage of "slave labor"?
The "de facto" depends on how you define it, but if it is possible to order someone to do something or they face torture or death, then that is slave labor. Just because something that was done in the past not make it right.
Ah no wonder everything was cheap. It's all subsidized. Thanks.
Yes and when you go to the USA you contribute to their wrongdoings. Are u saying he shouldn't have gone to North Korea?
@Оскар .1 it's not evil, it's what it is. It's that simple. You have a thick layer of western conditioning that makes up your worldview, be aware of that. Are we really going to say North Korea is evil and the USA is not? It's simple minded to brand a regime evil when you are not conscious of why it is the way it is. It could be no other way given the history. Ignorant Americsns say that the North Koreans are brainwashed while they are simultaneously brainwashed to a large degree. I advocate going to North Korea. I advocate seeing for oneself because the only thing you know for sure is true is your present experience. Good and Evil are just ideas. There is only actuality.
My mind is boggled by the realization that you actually believe you can give an honest opinion about life in North Korea based on a very strict and guided "tour". Wow...
North Korea looks pretty. I just thought it was strange that local people did not interact with ya'll in the group. And I felt like the super market was staged for only tourists to use. It almost like everyone was told to act and be a certain way. Idk, i felt like the government made sure you only saw the good areas and the nice parts not the whole picture of the country.
Mehgan_ upsidedown local people aren't really allowed to interact with tourist
duh
@@chrisking8379 includes all foreigners except the Asians, coz European countries supports the Americans
Do you think through on your government too?
But Asians are like that everywhere! Especially when they dont speak your language. If you spoke Korean you could 100% go and start chatting and have a conversation with them. Also, there are videos on youtube made by a singaporean guy who goes all around the country. Even the poor parts have food, housing, electricity etc. North Korea is a poor, awful dictatorship but the lies about the standard of living of North Koreans are pretty rediculous
You kept saying "yuan", which is the Chinese currency... :)
@fart poo wee bumfluff bogey earwax The yen is Japanese...
@fart poo wee bumfluff bogey earwax
China has the yuan
Japan has the yen
Korea has the won (NKW/SKW)
They all come from the old Chinese word for "round".
Very kind, Brad!
Thanks for the detailed tour and information. I love North Korea tours is quite interesting !
i like how they take better care of the tourists than their own citizens 😀
I promise there’s a question at the end...
I’ve wanted to visit the DPRK for a long time now, and I’ve scoured TH-cam for years to consume as much information about the Hermit Kingdom as possible, wether it be good, bad, or neutral. I’m very pleased with your documentary series, and even though I subscribed in the middle of your series, I’ve followed it closely since. Kudos to you, my friend. Being a USA-born citizen, the allure is both tantalizing and intriguing. The meeting between Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump had me hopeful that my dream of visiting might not be so taboo in the near future. Yes, that WILL take some of the excitement away from it, but anyway...
Lead-up and silly question: Others that I’ve seen posting videos of their visit in the past have shown meals presented that were basically cheap foods that were breaded and deep fried. The one person that comes to mind was a USA citizen and gained access via bribing a Chinese official. Since your experience seems so different, do you believe that it because of the differences in tour companies (or means of access), or is this likely an indication of an uptick in DPRK tourism?
