Episode 2: Who am I & Why Do I Keep Going to North Korea?

Episode 2: Who am I & Why Do I Keep Going to North Korea?

So... this episode is all about me. I wanted to get this over and done with! There are so many questions you all seem to have and I repeat this story / parts of it all the time. So here it is; why I first went to North Korea, what my first experience in North Korea was like, how I decided to start working there, how my journey was working there, what I've been doing since the borders have been closed from COVID, and where I am now (and where I plan to be in the future!)


If it's boring or you want to fast forward a few bits, I won't be offended..!


Anything you want me to expand on, let me know!


Thanks for listening :)
