Jacob Laukaitis is a self-proclaimed digital nomad who has been traveling the world while running his online business, ChameleonJohn, for the last two and a half years.
Laukaitis, originally from Lithuania, has traveled to nearly 50 countries and is constantly in search of global destinations that are truly unique. After watching multiple documentaries and reading up on North Korea, he decided to pay the hermit kingdom a visit in April.
Laukaitis shared some photos from his one-week trip, from the bizarre tourist attractions he saw to the fascinating aspects of daily life that he witnessed:

Before his arrival, Laukaitis' phone — including any photos and apps that were on it — were inspected by officials. Outside the airport, he was met by his guides and told that he would not be allowed to take photos of police, military, or government officials during his trip.
One place that they were able to visit was Puhung Station in Pyongyang, one of the world's deepest metro stations. Laukaitis and his tour group were allowed to ride the subway for four stops before they were told to get off.
The station was covered with daily newspapers that mostly focused on Kim Jong-un and his activities, Laukaitis said.
