Check out our interview with traveler Scott Wilson below. Me and Andre Dupuis have been business partners for over 20 years. There is nothing special about us, nothing unique.

We are not rich or of special means. It was an attempt to be inspirational. Diving, for many years, for some reason, scared me off. It opened my eyes to a whole new part of the planet. That was the approach to that program. We did 13 one-hour episodes exploring the underwater world throughout the planet. Not just in the tropics looking at pretty fish and pretty pictures in the Caribbean.

It was all over the world, just to catch a glimpse of what is accessible in this day and age. It is always something new. It is always travel-related. That is kind of our wheelhouse. The whole trip was bizarre in a good way. It turned into two episodes while we were there. There are a lot of firm and staunch opinions on North Korea.

It generates a lot of conversation. In the end, if what we do generates a lot of conversation, it is the biggest compliment we can have. One of the criticisms we have heard for doing shows there is we went there and are supporting this regime. Our approach there was no different than any of the other shows in any of the places we have visited.

We check our egos at the door, we check all preconceptions at the door. We just go and experience a country as best we could as a fly on the wall. Going to North Korea comes with a lot of rules and a lot of regulations. Yes, things are going on there that are not the way things should be done, to say the least. What we wanted to do is go there and showcase what it is like to spend a week inside the country.

We were with government guides the entire time. They were leery of us too because we have a camera rolling. Then all of a sudden you start to crack jokes and start to laugh and have fun. The people you are directly interacting with, are just people. At the end of it all, we were getting on a train and heading back to China through the [northern] border of North Korea and saying goodbye to these guides and hugging them on the train platform like some old movie from the s.

We knew we were never going to see them again. It was a bizarre, romantic goodbye in a way. They seemed choked up and you think how much is put on. The British ex-pat who took us in, Nick, who took us in and out and has been going into North Korea for 30 years now said he has never seen that reaction or that sort of connection before. That made us feel good that we did our job being humans and interacting with humans.
