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

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!

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.

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!
