This is exactly how I was able to travel to North Korea.
I spent 3 days in Pyongyang and got a small look into what life is like inside one of the world's least travelled countries.
I was on a guided tour to North Korea with a company called Young Pioneer Tours. You can book here - bit.ly/2IX3imw

This video series is NOT a political commentary. It is only meant to document what it’s like to travel to North Korea (DPRK) in 2019.
I can only show you what I am shown myself.

Thumbnail: Is it safe?
Video length: *911*
So now, *IS HE SAFE*
Yes
I can make sure you that as a American not a North Korean, that he is okay.
A follow up of length 1:12 would definitely mean he’s safe...
Hi sir
video lenght 910
As an American, watching videos about North Korea has given me interest to travel to North Korea but thank god the laws are stopping me
Yeah you're so free that your govt can tell you which countries you may or may not visit.
Please don't go. Why North Korea?
@@nonnywinner5039 He's been. The video is over a year old. And why not north Korea? Why does no one ever ask "Why America?" or "Why Britain" when the US & UK have bombed a hell of a lot more countries than NK ever has.
I think it is actually more dangerous for Americans too. Remember Otto?
@@earthalydelights because north korea jails American citizens
Thank you for sharing this informative travel video. Appreciated.
Recently subbed to this channel. Love the content.
I love it too. I wish my channel received this kind of love.
Traveling to every country has always been a dream of mine since I was little, but from all the research I've done on all these countries North Korea has to be one of the most researched I've researched on. A tip to all of the Americans that want to go to North Korea, it's much more safe to get a passport from another country as America is North Korea biggest rival. Stay safe if you ever go there!
Since I also want to travel to Russia when I’m older would it be good if I got a passport there?
While i do agree about the passport i wouldnt call it a rivalry tbh north korea just hates us alot lol we could care less about those guys
Visiting North Korea sounds good but I value my life and my rights too much.
D Lish I don’t have a death wish either
NORML piss offf
Especially your life 😂😂
@@ikkhan9769 you sound like you need some sleep
D Lish ???
Keep up the Great work
Great video! 🙃🙃🙃
Lovely video!
Keep up the great work
Many thanks for these videos! Have travelled there eight times for up to 15 days on a trip. Usually get my North Korea visa from the Embassy in London
Thank You For Sharing This Beautiful Video Vlog
Great vid
Thank you for sharing your experience on your trip you deserve more subscribers I mean this in a good way
Thank you for the Great video
I really enjoyed this series. Very informative and enjoyable to watch. You definitely earned a sub from me!
waltuh
Hi,Jord🤓. always waiting for you to send the new video,finally.😍😍
Thank you for making this! I couldn't ever go safely so it's nice to get a glimpse of the sights.
North Korea: Americans are not allowed to travel to our country.
Dennis Rodman: Hold my beer.
He's not American
@@lcs684 ??? Yes he is lmao
@@gatosospechosop3 he is a new zealander
Umm I think you have that tits up. Americans are allowed in NK but the US won't allow its citizens to go. Who's the dictatorship now?
@@earthalydelights North Korea
Funny I had a former Chinese classmate asking me how safe is it traveling to the U.S, with all these shootings every other week...
🙄 Tell him to stay away from gun-free zones and he’ll be fine.
I am far more worried about getting hit by a driver during rush hour that is texting while driving than by any gunfire. There are some places you really don't want to be walking around at 3 AM and certainly by yourself, but those kind of places exist all over the world.
Seriously, your chance of getting hit by a car or even by lightning is about the same as getting hit by gunfire.
Bo Han is amurics
@@justiny.6696 Get lost
He'd be cool. No one would mess with him.
Great videos! Cheers from Japan!
It’s amazing, I love it!
Wonderful feed ❤️
I think this video is very good. From S. Korea..
As Chinese, we can get NK visa sticker on passports. However, I don't want to visit there since it's so uncomfortable for me not able to stay connected online.
I would like to visit because I just wanna see what it’s like
How did you use TH-cam do you live in other country or use vpn?
@@floydninosimblante4688 go there and live in China for 3 years if you have enough money, then you will know how things work out through own experiences, rather than just hear and believe what the propoganda says. As an adult, always use own brain and heart before evaluating anything!
Can’t go a few days without internet?
@@floydninosimblante4688 vpn. its frowned upon but not really enforced
Hi a great set of videos and I really enjoyed them so much. I would not go anywhere near North Korea have no desire ton visit that country whatsoever. Thank you for making these videos.
As long as you don't ask the tax payers of your home country to rescue you if things don't go well, IMHO you are free to go anywhere you like.
How much pocket money did you have on you for any expenses on food or shopping? and what are your recommendations on this particular point?
I've always been so curious about North Korea, I would love to see it for myself. Thing is though, I'd never want to support that country and the monsters in charge of it by travelling there.
You kinda just barred yourself from visiting by saying that
@@tomoshobbs thx captain obvious!
I agree with you,it looks to be quite a unique place, and I think there’s beaches there too, but just knowing how other people live that’s not in the capital live,it makes me feel a bit sad.
@@sonicfan82 yeah pretty much
@@sonicfan82 it borders the sea. Therefore , it has beaches
Not sure bout traveling there now but hope one day when is safe i can travel there to make vlog
Keep going Jord!
nice
question, so after arrival at PEK is it possible for on arrival visa to china and then presenting the north korean visa?
Looks like he doesnt answer questions por favor
I'll never be able to travel there, but thanks for documenting the experience
I would love to go, but will likely never get to as don't want to have visa issues going to the US which I normally visit once a year which is a shame.
This was very useful! The thing is though, that I think most people wouldn't want to go to North Korea because they don't want to support the dictatorial regime. What do you think about that?
La Traduttrice I think that’s stupid
@@tylerwright3604 why?
@@majesthijmenii1976 The laws, while pending an update, do exist to protect people. It's a bit foolish to say that visiting Pingyang is "supporting evil" because I don't see any way that us visiting Pingyang would do anything at all in the way of "supporting evil".
I know someone who is moving to Pyongyang
@Raine Cowles ha. Yea. Sure
I really want to go there, thanks for the video
Would shooting with film be alright ? Bringing out undeveloped rolls of film without getting into trouble...
love the video
Basicly have manners and be disciplined and you'll be fine.
Precisely!
I'll never go to NK in my life, but i enjoy your video
When I saw the title, I was like this guy is crazy. But that looked perfectly safe
I really wanted to North Korea atleast once in my life. Thanks for this informative video. Every country got it's own law. As a tourist we should respect it .
Wow
Why you not try Travelling & visiting Indonesia . Where the many exotic island at Indonesia
Udah kemana mana dia 😁👌
O yaa...ke Indonesia sudah kemana aja dia yaa mbak
@@indrahendriadi3451 Jakarta sama Bali kayanya 😂🙊 liat aja deh di TH-cam channelnya dia
@Annisa Suryaningrum..o gt.
Indonesia banyak Pantai exotic ..apalagi Indonesia Timur keren abis Mbak..saatnya kita perkenalkan kalau Indonesia tidak hanya Bali...Tuhan menciptakan Indonesia dengan senyuman
@@indrahendriadi3451 😊👍
I’m an American citizen and checked with YPT a few weeks about about going to DPRK. They said it wouldn’t be a problem to go
I read it and it said they will not take Americans to dpnk
Maureen W use the chat feature and talk to them. They’ll walk you through it
TexasToast I wouldn’t, and hope the US would never allow me to become a pawn.
I may just do so for a chuckle
Simple answer is no. You shouldn't travel there don't give them any tourist money and risk yourself of being imprisoned
For real. If the country will be safe sometime I would love to visit, but hell no now.
How many tourists have been imprisoned?
@@The80sWolf_ 80k
Shut up bih
@@Kgio-2112name them
So how do you deal with the fact you have to be a journalist or what not with a US Passport?
Come in Timișoara, Romania (it's not related to the topic but I saw that you have traveled to Romania, visit this wonderful city)
Otto Warmbier died using young pioneers fyi
And people keep forgetting Otto broke the law in NK by stealing. NK didnt just decide they were going to screw with him.
@@falkortechnologies8039 Last I heard, it was never clear whether it was actually HIM who stole that poster. Either way he didn't deserve anything that happened.
@@falkortechnologies8039 He didn't steal anything. If you bother to watch the 'evidence' footage its clearly a north korean, who literally bows to the picture he is 'stealing' before doing so and treats it in a manner only a north korean would. Its such a blatant setup you would have to be an idiot not to recognize it
do a video with Indigo Traveller lol
Just came across your channel. Love it! I'm really jealous of your travels. Haha! Also... You're stupidly handsome 😁 🙈
Since I've subscribed to TheLifeofJord
I've been unable to cut the cord.
But I've also been far less bored.
@KnightOfTheKing JESUS CHRIST. That is funny.
I'm not taking the lord's name in vain, I'm just telling him he's a funny dude.
As someone who wants to visit every country in my life North Korea is on my list too. This video was very informative and I hope to check the box of visiting North Korea one day
jord low key looks like Steven Gerrard
And hi strung Bob Leahey
When you bow is that a greeting or your worshiping them
Roy I don’t know it’s called respect.. or I wouldn’t put it that way because everyone even tourist have to bow and give flowers to the great supreme leader.. I’m not really sure what happens if they don’t bow? Let alone a tourist.. but all I know that it would not be good
I think people should stop going there and giving them your money.
Going to north korea is like going to westworld in the tv show. If you don't see the ethical issues any such travel creates, then I guess you're exactly the type of individual that these experiences are targeted for.
It's been my goal to visit DPRK for almost a decade. I hope one day I'll get to go
I was so down to go but I guess there’s still a travel ban for US citizens
I really want to go.
RIP
Your very brave

In which country do you live?
Hey do I have to go to China in order to go North Korea? I’m from the uk too.
Only (legal) way to enter the country is via plane or train from China or Russia, afaik.
3 days for 500 euro? That is a lot. I went there 4 days. Only spend 350 euro!
By the way, I am Chinese
The worrying aspects of just personal safety, plus the £500 fund required is a massive turn off... Which sucks because i was wanting to look into how things are done.
You shouldn't go if you're American or South Korean.
or anyone really...
GPRK is number 1 of my bucket list of NOT to go country
I won't dare to travel there.
hope you can come to Hong Kong,China.it's really a good place.
He is not in Hong Kong he is in Nepal
@@Brick-Life sorry,i'll edit my comment again
Be thankful were you live and what you going through is nothing compared to the people who live N Korea
Visiting is chill but why would u endorse the company which just makes the country money lmao
Why havent you been to Nigeria
If you go to North Korea please follow the laws because they treat prisoners horribly even if the crime was watching avengers
4:20 best part
I have Dual citizenship that means I have two passports I'm also a citizen of Norway and citizen of the United States that means I can go to North Korea as an American but I will travel on my Norwegian passport what I will do as an American is fly to Norway Annie from Norway fly to Beijing China on my Norwegian passport then I can go to Pyongyang North Korea as a visiting tourist so if you're American citizen and you have dual citizenship in a different country as long as you do not use the American passport and yes you can travel to North Korea on a different passport if it's German passport United Kingdom's passport Australian passport And it's All Legal there's Nothing that United States can Do About it
It's wrong to compare NoKo to just any other country with different laws. In most places "getting in trouble" means a fine, having your wallet stolen or maximum being deported. In NoKo any little stupid mistake could get you arrested, tortured or executed. It's an act of superb recklessness to go there.
Even if I could, there's no way in hell I'd go to that hell on earth.
did you talk with north korean
North Korea is the safest country in the world, hardly any crime takes place here compared to Western countries like the US and Jamaica. I want more people to visit to show them that they shouldn’t always believe in what Western media tells them. We’re opening up and are ready for more tourists to visit our awesome nation
I honestly think you are someone working for Kim Jong-un because you are literally so dedicated with your commenting lol
Oh screw off jerk
Yeah no thanks
Are there any lady boys in your country Mr Un?
Nice to meet you President Kim-Jong Un 😁
I wanna go there mainly to experience communism...somewhat..cus theirs is not exactly communism anymore..is more of a dictatorship! But i am from Bulgaria a former soviet country and my parents and grandparents got to experience it but i was born 1995 so i only grew up surrounded by remnants of it.. buildings, music, movies, cars and furniture...and stories from the people around me.. and through my eyes communism was great! Communism brought our country to its peak..in every sphere.. my country was in its best state during that era.. clean streets, polite people, no crime, discipline in schools, excellent students who later on became world famous architects, doctors, mathematicians, scientists..we invented a lot of things as well during that period, we won lots of world medals.., competitions etc.. we has free Healthcare, education etc. Secure jobs and homes for everyone..my parents and grandparents always look back with nostalgia towards these times.. and i grew up also loving that era.. anything from architecture to clothing style.. the life truly seemed ideal. And i know lots of people bash it and hate it and only look at the negatives of that time.. but i wanna go and look at the positives.. and "go back in time" as much as i can.. all we have in Bulgaria from that time now is decaying buildings, old cars left to rot, and all the mafia and gypsies rulling the country! I want to experience communist atmosphere in its full glory! I really hope one day i can bring my child as well!
I've always been fascinated with the Hermit Kingdom as its such a weird place. A time machine is a good way to describe it, a time machine with some wacky stuff. I want to go there to hike Mt. Paektu (a beautiful volcano) and see the infamous Mass Games. I'm well aware my money would fund the government, and although I'm not a fan of their system, I still want to see the country in person instead of just on the media. I can't go there now because of the US tourism ban but once we have better ties and the ban is lifted, I will make a visit. I've done a lot of research about the rules, I'm ready
Yeah, this is exactly why I'd like to go to NK. I'm really curious about the social atmosphere.
Make Sure to Follow The Rules, One Mistake lead you to your nightmare
i am sure it is safer there than most places where you are free.
Proud to be Indian 🇮🇳
This is like throwing money in the firepit
South Koreans cannot go either
It is true in a big sense. however, 7500 South Koreans visited North Korea in 2018
@lamenti They did not go on a South Korean passport.
@@realamazingworld6756 with South Korean passport.
@lamenti Would’t they get arrested when they get back to South Korea?
@@realamazingworld6756no? Why would they???
Russia - Svizzera - North Corea - best country in the world
Ye spelt North Korea wrong m8 but no hate just a accident
Svizzera?
@@YAAboiShadow nah it’s with a C in certain languages
The tour company that you took was the same one who took otto....
And...?
And Otto couldn't stay respectful in NK and took propoganda (stole). He dealt with consequences, unfortunately.
I would not travel there
Do you think it's safe for a short petite woman to go there?
No
It's not safe. Simple.
Why it´s not safe? Have you been there?
@@emilisegal7602 being at will to the only full totalitarian nation in the world is the initial logical explanation. There aren't any caveats to this. It's simple.
I mean, as long as you follow what rules they set out, no matter how wacky, it seems safe
@@redpandaz5146 probably more safer there than some slum. You're more likely to get robbed, mugged or shot in italy or something.
Lou and the video length is 9:11
Hi Jord,
Kinda wondering, if i am as a Muslim go to North Korea. Is there any Mosque? Or a place to pray?
And, if there's a person travel with Hijab. Is there any possibility that she'll get reject to enter the country because of the Hijab?
Holy crap that's a stupid question.
Test
Bruh ima have to get a speech therapist to sound English af so I can go
You need more than that por favor
I guess I will delete my Bible app
Never!!!
No way, unless I get well-paid for it.
I would go there only if I have a diplomatic passport.
Should you? No. While I love off the beaten path destinations - and NK is about as off the beaten path as you can get as regards tourism - it is morally wrong to support such a vile, criminal regime with your foreign currency. That would be the case even if security wasn’t a concern, which it definitely is (especially if you’re a U.S. citizen, as the Otto Warbier incident shows).
dream holiday to N Korea.
Wow... North Korea.......
*Reads title*
Me: No...
Weed is legal there. Probably because nobody wants something that makes you more hungry
