JS 81: Safe Travels in North Korea with Adventure Traveler Jordan Harbinger

Jordan Harbinger talks to Jason Hartman about his experiences in North Korea and shares a little bit about what you can and can't get away with. There's a lot of bad press about North Korea and he says that if you really dig a little bit deeper, there isn't much to worry about. He encourages everyone to at least consider taking at tour there and learning for themselves what it really is like to be on another planet. 

 

Key Takeaways:

4:10 – North Korea is incredibly safe, you won't get kidnapped, and it is actually a very interesting travel experience. 

11:20 – It's about $2,000 to $3,000 total trip cost including plane, hotel, food, and more. 

16:10 – There are certain things that the Koreans just won't let you bring into the country depending on the day.

17:45 – There are very few churches in North Korea and, according to Jordan, they don't really go to church. 

22:00 – When you leave the country, you're left with a lot of thoughts and questions about the North Korean system and the people who live there, which is why it makes for a very interesting place to explore.
