all right hello guys so today we're
going to talk about the topic is it
dangerous to travel to North Korea so
this is a pretty difficult topic to
discuss and a question that many people
ask so I've been to North Korea many
times and of course when I first started
this job of working in North Korea my
mother was not best pleased the tears
down the phone from my mom did not sound
so great when I first decided that I
wanted to visit as a tourist however
I've been many times and I can say
honestly it is one of the safest
countries that I've ever been to and I
say this for many reasons okay so reason
number one there is very little crime in
North Korea so you don't have to worry
about walking down the street and having
your phone nicked out of your pocket you
can leave your bag on the table I think
it's very similar to many countries in
Asia and compared to in Europe or
England where I'm from reason number two
for this is guest culture is very
important in North Korea so you are a
guest in their country and therefore the
North Korean people they really respect
you and want you to have the best time
in North Korea so you don't have to
worry about anything that happening to
you and reason number three is you will
always have North Korean guys with you
that will help you if you get any
difficult situations or if any problems
arise they will be there helping you
many people may say that North Korea is
incredibly dangerous and they think that
I'm crazy for going there all the time
but the most important thing not to
forget is that you are a guest in their
country and you are very into North
Korea and therefore you should follow
their rules just like you would try and
do when you go to any country in the
world you follow the rules of the
country and you try and embrace and
accept the culture by going to North
Korea you are saying that you will do
both of these things if you follow the
rules in
career then nothing will happen to you
it is a brain state country they welcome
tourists they want more people to come
to that country if you are ever unsure
of the rules you can ask your Korean
guides and also you will have been
briefed accordingly before you go to
North Korea I mean I often say that
North Korea is safer than Liverpool I
mean if you know Liverpool then you
probably know what I'm talking about
but I have never felt unsafe in North
Korea and I've been there over 25 times
now okay guys so I hope that answers
your question is it dangerous
is it safe to travel to North Korea the
next questions you have please post in
the comment box below and I'll see you
next time
