Summary

Hey Slaycaters, normally we take you to a beautiful island, popular tourist destination or even on a cruise… and then something tragically bad happens. This episode is different. Today we’re taking you to the DPRK, aka The Hermit Kingdom, aka North Korea. Not known for being a popular tourist destination because, let’s face it, you’re not really allowed to go. However, that only made it more intriguing to young 22-year old Otto Wambier, who had a penchant for visiting global hotspots. By all accounts, his highly curated trip was going great — until it was time for his Young Pioneers Tour Group to board the plane home. That's when the nightmare began. You may have heard of this story — but the devil is in the details (and the storytelling.) So strap in as we take you to one of the strangest places in the world for one of the strangest Slaycations we’ve been on. As always, thanks for listening and stay safe out there!
