After seeing the Vice Guide I HAD to go to North Korea, what I found was different and I regard Vice Guide as good entertainment but highly edited and sensationalized - not a good representation of the normal tourist experience, or at least not with the top western companies with a good relationship there.

OK I'm here

I had secret police shut us down while playing Frisbee with locals in the main square of the Town of Wonsan. The locals were going crazy for it and then they suddenly took off when authorities arrived.

I enjoy showing the world a different side to the North Korea PEOPLE not normally shown anywhere else. Hopefully my work makes people think and investigate more into the issues. I try not to preach my own opinions and try to stay as natural as possible when it comes to the regime.

More people seem to understand what I'm doing than those who dont.

here is my photo album from my "Frisbee diplomacy"
