Pictures from a 24-year-old blogger's recent trip to North Korea
Citizens are not permitted to travel abroad, and the few tourists that manage to visit are kept to a few choice sites, and are accompanied by guides at all times.
The US State Department "strongly urges US citizens to avoid all travel to North Korea/the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) due to the serious risk of arrest and long-term detention under North Korea's system of law enforcement." Two American citizens, Kim Dong Chul and Otto Warmbier, are still in detention there.
Undeterred, London native and travel blogger Jess Harling of Jess Travels spent two weeks touring North Korea with her boyfriend. While her interest in the country stemmed from Hollywood parodies, she was eager to learn more about it by seeing it for herself.
Her photos and firsthand account of the trip provide a rare glimpse into what life is like under Kim Jong-un.
