Being one of the planet’s most heavily fortified areas the border between North and South Korea is very rarely visited by tourists but this brave Brit wanted to see it for himself.
Jamie Segal from Cambridge, UK, decided to visit one of the last remnants of the Cold War between the USA and the Soviet Union.
Despite only being able to enter the DMZ (demilitarized zone) with an authorised tour guide and a lot of document checks, the area is safe to visit.
Visitors can take photos, but they must walk and stand where instructed to and cannot wave or make other untoward gestures.
After experiencing the unique trip away, the 23-year-old said: “It was a very eerie feeling but interesting, nonetheless.
“It’s just interesting to see such a closed-off country, with all the history about North and South Korea.
“I thought it would be cool to show people the DMZ as not many would get the chance to ever see it in their life.”
Despite his family originally worried about his trip Jamie was welcomed with open arms and loves the Korean lifestyle.
He said: “My family thinks it’s really cool that I’ve gone out of my comfort zone and experienced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“I just think the way of life in Seoul is much more relaxed than back home. The people are lovely, streets are clean, and the food is stunning.
“I’ve had a positive reaction from the video people think it was informative and really enjoyed watching it.”
