Trippy. I would consider going. I've been to Cuba (pre detente) and the West Bank. Both experiences were enlightening. I have significantly higher reservations about the government of DPRK and the ethics of visiting, for sure.

- acjohnson55 10y agoTo be honest, I don't travel to have a positive impact on the people at the destination. While that would be nice, I'm pretty sure it's not the reality. I travel to experience the world and learn. At best, my social impact comes from being able to be a trusted source of information for people who don't get around so much.
