Train from Pyongyang to Beijing

Today was a day I was both looking forward to but also dreading at the same time. I was looking forward to heading home back to my creature comforts and being able to both browse the internet and use my mobile phone but, at the same time, I also wished […]

Last full day in the DPRK

Today was long and packed with activities but fairly relaxed as everything we saw was in Pyongyang so there wasn’t as much travelling. When I woke up the daily mist had finally lifted and there were clear views all the way across Pyongyang which gave me a chance to take […]

The Demilitarised Zone

Today was a day that I had been looking forward to all year and it was pretty much everything I hoped it would be. Today we visited the demilitarised zone (DMZ) which is the border between North Korea and South Korea and, ironically, one of the most heavily fortified borders […]

Today is the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Worker’s Party of Korea and we were told we would be in store for something special, which they were definitely right about. I’ve just finished watching probably the biggest fireworks display I’ve ever seen from my hotel room which I […]

Today was the day I had been waiting for, when I would arrive in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (aka DPRK / North Korea). I’ve always been a person that likes travelling to unique destinations where I feel I can learn a lot so when I saw this holiday […]
