For real … I mean the stories I hear alone then traveling unless I’m fully Armed and skilled but with that I will still want to have at least a crew of five to travel with
@@russkle2042 lol I don’t think this is about that … Africans treat white differently and besides that we know ourselves…just like the same way if you go to a foreign land that you have no idea of… because you might have a good perception of the people you would likely do certain things because of what believe and how perceive the people there especially if you believe the people are welcoming to your race
As tense as the interaction with the military men was, the highlight of the video was her discussion with the lady in the wheelchair. Noraly has such a gentle soul.
I love the dress that lady was wearing too, such beautiful colours. Sometimes a simple conversation with someone can brighten anyone's day, we should all try to do that wherever we are :)
Noraly, you are so brave. The interaction with the person who wanted to take your camera would have spooked me. Instead you remained calm and courteous. Your winning smile softens hearts of the most arrogant. You are amazing. Be safe.
I can't find the words for you and your amazing spirit towards all mankind. ❤ I have done my share of Solo backpacking in Europe and the Middle East and northern africa where you started this journey over the last 5 years. Just enough to appreciate how special you are. Oh, to join you for a day or two would be an honor. Bill in the US.
no creo señora haya sido arrogante, sino que esta haciendo su trabajo, nada mas se dijo sobre ese control y pq pidió la cámara, hay que respetar la autoridad de otros paises.
Amazing Video, As a togolese, very sorry for this incident with the military, " They did not even know that the insta 360 is a camera and they mistakenly thought the GPS tablet is a video recorder" What they were afraid of was finally done. Happy to realize at the end that, this did not affect your day.. Keep it up!!!
Yep, I'm glad they gave her back her camera, I can't understand what they were thinking...creates a bad impression of Togo and Africa...I'm glad our military in South Africa respect tourist....🇿🇦
I don't think they thought the tablet was a camera, I believe they thought it was connected to the camera and wanted her to show them the camera's content though the tablet.
Wonder what is so secret in that country for them to want to scrutinize content of her camera? It's pure bullying and makes them feel important and through that demonstrating their ignorance and lack of intellect.
Noraly is completely at the mercy of people wherever she goes (she's certainly not helpless, but she is only one person), and so many of us care for her, but can do nothing to help from our seats (the only comfort is, the event happened about a month ago, and the video is up, so we know she is ok). So....stay safe, Noraly!
@goodman4093 because on one episode a while back, someone said that they knew about a certain tree that Noraly visited (the Cotton Tree, maybe?) was now gone, so she must have seen it just before it blew down, approximately a month before the video was released. Also, Noraly herself says she delays them to help prevent people from tracking and following her (she said this during her interview in England in July, I believe). Fame has its costs.
@@ZackaryMac yeah ABR said she confirmed last minute she can come and be a speaker, and a few weeks later we saw videos about her waiting for parts in Abidjan for 10 days, so I'm guessing that was when that happened, big break in travelling + in a relatively big hub.
I can see that Noraly is an experienced traveller especially in tough places to travel, she keeps all opinions and negative comments on security issues to herself, because she knows her camera can always be used against her in such places, we look forward to the days of stress free travel in Africa.

Hi Noraly, I’m watching all your episodes in a non-chronological way, but you know what …. it doesn’t make a difference because every episode is an adventure on it’s own! You are so amazing, humble and open-minded and showing respect to everyone you encounter, even if they treat you not fair all the time. But because you show how you are, you have, or better you get, a lot of respect back! Also I admire the way you are enjoying your trip all by yourself and your resilience and humour are beyond the normal standards! Thank you again for sharing all the beautiful moments of your trip through Africa!! 🙏🏼
@@JanMorsø I thought that was everyone else. Didn't they all just volunteer to stay at home and wear a nappy on their face for over a year, then get pricked with toxic depop juice.
@@ntakirutimanavalens4412 I never meant to offend you and I never meant that Africa is a bad place it's just dangerous in certain parts , Africa is infact one of the most beautiful and richest continents which the white came n plundered and enslaved them. I'm Indian British came took our shit and left after 100 years .
hi Noraly, short ride but an interesting day….The lady with the fruit shop was so sweet, reminded me of my mother in fact. I got the feeling the guy in the red shirt was in charge at the checkpoint. That looked a bit scary. They were just like the military everywhere really. Turned out they were pretty professional. You handled that well as usual mate. That was some lovely waterfall. And cheers to the great people and beautiful countryside of Togo. jakg
Nothing hostile there. The military guys were doing their job. If an Isis-looking person was traveling through the country side of the US, the cops would definitely stop him and ask vital questions including scanning through his camera for security purposes.
I was really worried for your safety when that guy grabbed your camera, it was the way he ripped it from your hand, it looked like a nasty situation, and the look on your face told me you were also worried. I'm glad it ended well and you got your camera back and you were unharmed. You have a lot of balls for a lady, be safe.
How many times have we seen Noraly get in some situations that make us Nervous and Worried about her safety. In the end Her cheerful and outgoing personality always prevails saves the day!
In fact, a situation like that could also end up with one suddenly finding oneself in a prison or in a security cell and being mistaken for maybe some “spy” or something like that. But this could of course also happen somewhere else.
@@aris1956 that can happen anywhere in the world depending on the circumstances, it can happen even in Canada or America if you where filming the police putting down a demonstration. In Mauii Island in Hawaii, police stopped cars fleeing fire areas,and disrupted aid workers from helping civilians, Google it .horrible things happen ALL over the world if you look deeply enough.
Heart stopping moment with those military guys. Thank goodness you got your camera back. Other than that incident, Togo is a beautiful country. Fabulous drone footage! 👌
@@holmes1956O whether they're real military or just thugs, believe me in that situation you're at their mercy. I've traveled overland through Africa and been in highly stressful situations with several armed guys surrounding our vehicle - you're immediately intimidated. Been asked for ridiculous bribes etc, outright. Although you're at their mercy, you still need to keep your head, be cordial and do as they ask in order to drive away safely. It's tricky as hell and super stressful. Noraly did really well.
Having a gun and wearing camo doesn't make you a military man. Militaristic yes, military no. Scary stuff! I will never forgive you, Noraly, if something terrible happens to you...Please stay safe. Love you!
Noraly, what a fright. I'm Mozambican and I always follow you here. On my own behalf and on behalf of Africans in general, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by our military brothers in Togo. Best wishes for continued excellent experiences. Cheers!
Viva Moçambique, a área controladas por rebels e não são seguras but some people here are pushing it off like is something normal. Africa is a peaceful place, few bad apples thou.
As an African hailing from East Africa, specifically Kenyan, who is addicted to your channel, this is so exotic and raw. I would have sworn that places like this do not exist. Thank you! @itchy boots. Also there is something relaxing with the way you talk, approach people, and your spirit. It's a bliss. Good luck in your safari, creating these gems for us!
Maybe no one told her abt Africa she shud take it easy cos even we African here can’t du dat if I where her I will neva remove my helmet and I will not go alone the grace of the lord be with her and white race that race will forever be ahead of blacks
It has got not nothing to do being a female. It is worse for a black man on his own. Being a white woman is an advantage. Even in Africa where tend to protect foreigner compared to europeans who each black man as a threat
Lots of youtube creators claim to "go off the beaten path". Don't think anybody does it quite like Itchy Boots, and the result is truly exceptional content.
OMG! I was holding my breath when they stopped you and demanded your camera. The fact there were so many men, surrounding you, and getting closer to you, had me holding my breath. I am so thankful they realized you meant no harm and allowed you to leave safely. The country side and people you have been meeting have been absolutely beautiful and so pleasant. Prayers for your continued safe jouney.
Breathtaking views on the ride through the mountains and the stunning drone shots could not be spoiled by the scary stop by the military. The beautiful waterfall was well worth the hike. We learn so much from you Itchy Boots, thank you!
Itchy boots! How I wish I had itchy boots like hers. I doff my hat for this lady, she’s so bold, brave, courageous and undaunted. Hope to meet her one day to tap into her source of inspiration. May the Lord God watch over and keep her cheerful. 😊❤🎉. Bravo!.
Thank you Noraly. Amazing journey also includes interaction with people from all walks of life. Her calm cooperation with the security checkpoint turned out well. She shows us that when traveling the world you have to be respectful of other folks countries and local norms. We all have to admit that what she is doing is extremely rare. I can see how a security check point would find it difficult to believe.
THAT was a scary moment....your camera and GPS almost confiscated.....but well done Noraly for staying calm throughout the encounter.....a non confrontational approach is always the best policy !! Waterfall was magnificent......you are truly blessed Noraly !
What an intense episode! The camera near-confiscation had me holding my breath, thankfully the Insta 360 went unnoticed. The drone's view of the Togo mountains was breathtaking, and the waterfall hike was pure wanderlust.
My first thought when Noraly switched to the launch of the drone was to show the policemen they can't contain her and she wanted us to forget the negative and continue to see the beauty!
Luckily for her, Noraly can keep her cool. Usually a few smiles get her through. This video, she wasn't smiling. Except possibly internally, as she knew her 360° camera was filming everything. They just weren't smart enough to know what technology Noraly had.
perhaps they hide their faces and are afraid of cameras maybe they are members of their own and killed Ukrainians in the Wagner PMCs group and now they are on leave in Africa
Thanks for been sooo patient with the camera issue... You're a SUPER HERO. I really appreciate the way you've been able to handle that situation with care and maturity. Have you seen the "STAR" within the Togolese Flag??? That's exactly what you are next to me. M. World. ,❤❤💪🏿💪🏿❤❤👊🏿👊🏿
Hello Noraly and Itchy Boots Community. First congratulations to Noraly for this journey and thanks for the sharing. I am a togolese myself and was nervous about encouters with Togo security/border/customs officers as I realized Noraly was heading toward my country... reports of them being unfriendly, unprofessional and even intimidating are common, unfortunately... The people themselves should mostly be kind and friendly though, just like Victory in this episode... I wish Noraly less (no more) such bad encounters throughout Togo! Congrats again! Cheers!
Very good, Noraly. I'm sure you already know this, but it needs to be said: your attractiveness is not just physical. You are smart, resilient, strong and very brave. Thanks for being such a good inspiration.
Love watching this lady and her exploits. Learning more about each country that she passes through and the people. Learning more than what the television nature programmes show. Absolutely amazing.
Yep. I loved how they pointed at everything she was wearing and demanding to see what it filmed even if it wasn't a camera, meanwhile an actual camera goes unnoticed and is recording the entire event. "Lemme see camera!" "That's my GPS." "I want to see what you filmed with that!" "That's not a camera either. That's my flashlight." "Show us recordings of that!" "Not a camera. That is my watch." "That! Show me!" "That's my boot." "See video!" "Front tire." "Show!" "Rock." Yeah. Those guys were all over it.....except for the camera still recording.
Don't tell my gf, but I'm actually a little in love with Noraly. I melted at the smile she gave us after she completed stepstoning the little river during the hike.
I had never seen an ounce of frustration in Noraly's face before, no matter how harsh or dangerous the situation. But when that man took her camera from her hands. Wow! But she knew how to control her frustration and kept her cool. That's how our hero handles what the world throws at her. Chill Out and Ride On! The hike to the waterfall was awesome. I see that the tropical countries in Africa, are very similar to the ones in South America. The fauna and flora look very much alike. Beautiful!
My husband is Togolese and we go there every other year. I was so on edge wondering what those men were going to do with your camera. I always feel so on edge when next to any military/police/border control because I feel so much at their mercy when we are there, but you stayed so calm. I'm amazed and inspired by your bravery and courage. So glad you showed Togo the world! Most people have never heard of it!
lol then you're at their mercy? You're at the country's mercy 24/7 on an unspoken arraignment of good faith with people she knows nothing about, nor what to do if there's an emergency or worse... disarmed in a second, and these are people who most likely weren't nefarious... imagine putting blind trust in an entire country who don't have any accountability like these men. God complexes. "Reporters" are kidnapped by pirates, tourist bodies are found in god awful shape and are plastered on the news. God complex, but God was never a statistic... people are.
@@QQnowQQlatershe would have already informed netgerlands embassy she's there they dare not do anything to her the western world don't joke with the lives of their citizens
I really love your videos. As an African i have only been to three countries and this makes me appreciate the beauty of this continent. On the side i apologize for the bad treatment you get at our border points. I am sorry about that. But please remember the beauty and kindness of the good people you meet.
I am travelling Australia alone in my off road caravan , but to watch your videos is a high point in my day. I never cease to be amazed at your exploits. You are truly a very remarkable lady. May you always be safe in your journey. Jerry
If it was me, I would’ve wanted to leave the country and not give any of my tourist dollars to the country that had police that tried to bully and intimidate me (they were incredibly intimidating) you, as we all know, are a better person than I and I’m glad I get to travel with you thank you again Noraly
Beautiful natural scenery. Intimidating military. Helpful roadside vendors. The guide was a good idea. Thanks for sharing. As always, God be with you. Having the ability to continue your journey through the adversities you've faced, we thank God for answered prayers. Amen. Love, from Central Valley California USA
I lived in Africa for 15 years with military escort between camp and airport and could have never imagined to be on my own anywhere. Noraly is one among the bravest woman on this planet. God bless you always on your travels!
As an contractor you should not always see problems then you cant live my play grounds been west africa when you get africa in your blood then you cant get it out ( i have my Guns in one contry in west africa the bank ) 🤣
Can you guys stop generalisation. Mention the name of the country instead of the continent because some countries in West African are extremely safe . In Gambia, we have a lot of expatriates, mostly from England, but they need no guard or gun to go about their business. I believe the same for Senegal, Ghana, etc etc
Noraly , you are truly the "Super Woman" of You Tube, the one true Emila Eirhart of the Moto traveling explorer. As many have said in different ways "your smile illuminates the world for us all ". May God continue to bless your future travels and keep you safe.
In most places, young people who lack sharpness and wit are recruited into the military, where they undergo training to become rough and impolite. Noraly's skillful handling of the uncomfortable and awkward situation with calmness and poise has earned considerable admiration.
"Young" is the wrong word. "Uneducated" is the word. These men don't understand their job and training so they abuse the power of their gun. They most likely had very basic formal education. A lot of soldiers in poorer African countries are not very well educated. Such systems (governments) are not very functional so soldiers are not disciplined in cases like these.
ask americans who made check points in the middle east. They shoot anybody who's speeding towards the checkpoint, strip people to their butt and search them unlawfully. Not only cameras, if you can live through it, you're lucky. I'm sick and tired of everybody pointing fingers at africans, like if this only happen in Africa, like if so many people went through check points with no problem. If really Africa is that bad an unarmed white woman wouldn't have stood a chance here. Many people cycle through here with no problems. If you don't want to deal with the military checkpoints, don't come to a continent that mostly ruled by military.
@@aberba Yeah for sure especially the guy with the black T shirt was very rude. I speak French fluently and understood everything he said. That Guy lack good manners
That was a tense moment, I thought you were going to lose you gopro. I love the fact that they had no idea that the 360 camera was still filming them. Victori was a sweet lady and even with your broken french you managed to communicate well. The uphill hike to the waterfall was worth the effort I'm sure you would agree.
Togo military men shows uneducated act partcularly knew nothing in social media utube.whats wrong wid that.completely need study and seminars for those.guys. how shamemingly u are..phillippines 19:24 😮😮😮
It's greatly appreciated the amount of effort that goes into your quest to show your viewers the sites, and attractions on your journeys. Beautiful waterfall.
Great video Noraly! Thank you for sharing it with us. I must say, I haven't seen you that concerned since you and Alaska were crossing the river in that little basket. So glad you got your gear back!! Blessings to you my friend!!
I'll cry if I think about the time it will take me to see all those beutiful places on my own. And also for those who will never have the fortune or the guts to go out there and wander like our fellow traveller here. big respect for being so brave.
I can't get over how not afraid of heights Noraly is. I could not have walked up that steep wall towards that waterfall. Noraly so brave. I was also afraid that she wouldn't get her camera back. Glad it worked out well. Love this trek
@@mickymidnight1 Quite! That wouldn't have been me. I smiled at how quickly that guide walked ahead of her. "His job was only to show her where it was and how to go back." 🤭🤫
Whoa. I held my breath, my eyes wide and got nervous for you. The waterfall was beautiful and I’ll bet that climbing down the shear rock part of the trail was ~challenging. Wishing you well on your amazing journey
Noraly has given me a tour of what life is outside my world. An hr 30 mins of seeing 4 of your videos seems like I've been through many places. Thanks, Noraly for showing me the beauty of a part of Togo. You're amazing! Love from Los, Nigeria.
Many men wouldn't have the balls to travel straight into danger zone but you're filled with adventures enthusiasm, you've proved without a doubt that you're unstoppable👍, admiring you all the way from the other side of the world near the land down.
We never know how we will handle stressful interactions, but you always do so well in responding and not just reacting to them. And it was very kind of the guy in the red shirt to come over and help translate. Always nice to have a “friend” around in those situations. Also, I hope Victori did not lose too many of her peanuts during that storm ⛈️
I think under the circumstances you kept remarkably calm. It was definitely the right way to handle the situation you were in. Many people would have gotten extremely angry in that situation. It also looked very intimidating . It was a shame because everyone else was really nice.
" Give me that camera ! " . " Here " . Give me that camera ! " " That is not a camera , it's a GPS . " " GIVE ME THAT CAMERA ! ! ! " " That is a GPS , not connected :o) " . All captured on the camera right in their face . Happiness is video documentation . Mad respect .
Your adventure continues to amaze me. You rock! I have hiked in the mountains of equatorial Africa. Your video brought back many found memories. Thanks.
Oh my goodness, some very tense moments with the military men. Thank heavens our Noraly kept her cool and prevailed. The drone footage shows the glorious shades of green of the jungle forrest and the waterfall proves to be a great find. GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
Well I guess the military will see themselves on this episode! You were calm and that's the best approach. The waterfall hike, the waterfall, stunning scenery and the very nice lady in the wheelchair were the real highlights today! Way to go!
@@ffayaz007not necessarily, don't be self hating or if you're not African, stop hating. Look at Europeans killing each other in Ukraine.. The whole of Europe sending weapons to Ukraine to exterminate Russians, who are there to eradicate the nazis that's been killing ukraines's ethnic Russians...
Thanks for all your hard work, Noraly. It's under appreciated the filming, editing, producing and importing the video. You tell your stories in such an interesting way. I suppose it was inevitable with the encounter of the military men. They seemed to be unaware and oblivious to the other cameras on Alaska. Great job!
Thank you for your journeying, I feel like I'm riding with you. I have done a few exceptional short motorcycle journey s in south africa. I love motorcycles. I always enjoyed not knowing what's around the bend or over the hill and traveling in a sheer state of adventure. Being bold. Amazing channel. Im hooked. You are astoundingly brave and strong and maintain a good balance in times of crisis. Bravo.
The military details had no idea there was another cam filming them taking away the other cam! And so on went the filming without a break. Genius stuff.
Nice comment. I shouldn't have been surprised, but Google the definition of Noraly. "God is my Light" or "Light of God". She shines the light brightly for the world. Peace!
The drone view - between the misty mountains, winding dirt trail and dramatic music, I could easily picture an elf army on the move down there. Lovely conversation on the rain-sheltered porch! Wow - I didn't know cacao pods grew right from the trunk. That was some hike to the waterfall. Glad you had both hands free for the scramble back down again. Another riveting episode with confiscated camera suspense in the middle!
Tropical fruits like Jackfruit, Soursop (Guanabana), Cacao and many others bear from the trunk and side of major branches. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
Itchy Boots…biker and hiker extraordinaire!! And filming at the same time!! What an awesome trail for hiking except for the creepy crawlers!! EEK!! WOW! What an experience today! Totally awesome totally worth it! The camera scene with the military was so unexpected. Glad it was ok. Always cringe when rain is coming and she’s riding a dirt road..that rest stop was perfect!! Always a joy to watch your videos, Noraly! Cheers from Texas USA❤❤
Your drone footage seems to just get better and better. You've really become a master at making interesting videos. Thanks for taking the time to make the adventure fun for everyone.
I honestly believe she has a screw loose. She's lucky they just took her camera they could take anything and nobody would know anything about it. Like including her life
@@CHARLIE1955able I agree. She is not mentally stable. And I fear it will not end well for her. In many of these backward countries; they do not value life.
oh Noraly, Must have been a stressful moment there, but you stayed calm and respectful and it got sorted out. Another example of why you are the BEST travel vlogger on the Planet! RESPECT! Best Wishes 💖🏍🤠
One thing you DON'T take from a film maker: Her ability to tell a story and earn a living. Especially one of the greatest film makers/videographers on UA-cam. ☹
I’m still unsure what they were even looking for or what law she was suspected of violating. Seemed like just some power hungry thugs with guns to me. When more showed up and she was basically surrounded by men with guns it was starting to look pretty scary.
The culprits looking over her camera are concerned about being on video themselves. Individuals that are wanted can be found by those looking for them in content such as this. Noraly is not capturing them intentionally but is providing valuable intelligence just the same
@@robe4314 Man This is Africa, deep Africa, and you talk about Law? You see the big gun he is holding in his arms. I'v bin there even work there. Nope they will never see me again there. And you know what. The people with no power, no friends on high places, no friends by the police, those "normal" people are so friendly, so nice.
The meaning of itchy boots here is resilience/ resiliency and I think that you are 1 in a billion. Good girl … keep on trucking, blessings to you - stay safe where you can … x
Military: "Give your camera. I want to see what you filmed." Noraly: "No sir, you have to wait for Sunday's episode, just like everyone else." 😂 I'm glad it all sorted out ok.
I was so nervous when they took your camera,you are totally helpless and dependant on THEIR GOOD WILL! I'm thankful it worked out for you. Prayers for continued safe travels!!! ML&R
I followed you from your journeys in Central America to now you keep meeting wonderful people everywhere you go so few sketchy moments I’m amazed at how you go from mega stress to euphoria within minutes great videos thank you Noraly
Again you’re an incredibly brave woman. I totally admire your bubbly personality and respect your courage. You’re really doing a great jo job. May God be with you always
I'm African but would never have the guts to travel alone like this? I'm both amazed and inspired by your bravery
Congrats, you've been brainwashed by western media.
Thats the dutch People. Known for exploring and travelling. From centuries they do it. Not afraid of anything
For real … I mean the stories I hear alone then traveling unless I’m fully Armed and skilled but with that I will still want to have at least a crew of five to travel with

You don't need to travel to leave a "legacy". How you live your life and treat others is how you will be remembered. We all are legacies.
Amazing Video, As a togolese, very sorry for this incident with the military, " They did not even know that the insta 360 is a camera and they mistakenly thought the GPS tablet is a video recorder" What they were afraid of was finally done. Happy to realize at the end that, this did not affect your day.. Keep it up!!!
Yep, I'm glad they gave her back her camera, I can't understand what they were thinking...creates a bad impression of Togo and Africa...I'm glad our military in South Africa respect tourist....🇿🇦
I don't think they thought the tablet was a camera, I believe they thought it was connected to the camera and wanted her to show them the camera's content though the tablet.
Thank God Noraly is a very brave and strong woman, I was worried for their next move...but I could also see her been surprised by their reactions...
Dont be sorry atleast they are doing their work to protect the country
Wonder what is so secret in that country for them to want to scrutinize content of her camera?
It's pure bullying and makes them feel important and through that demonstrating their ignorance and lack of intellect.
The conversation with the woman at the peanut stand, warms my heart. 👍
This episode is why I worry about Noraly so much. Her inner strength, patience, and confidence is off the charts though. Definitely one in a billion.
That was a sharp reminder of how quickly things can go wrong!
You handled the situation well, staying calm and polite, PHEW!
that wont work every time. one day she will be in the news
Exactly my thoughts. Pushing her luck too much.
Noraly is completely at the mercy of people wherever she goes (she's certainly not helpless, but she is only one person), and so many of us care for her, but can do nothing to help from our seats (the only comfort is, the event happened about a month ago, and the video is up, so we know she is ok). So....stay safe, Noraly!
How do you know the event happen about a month ago, that is July 20th ?
@goodman4093 because on one episode a while back, someone said that they knew about a certain tree that Noraly visited (the Cotton Tree, maybe?) was now gone, so she must have seen it just before it blew down, approximately a month before the video was released.
Also, Noraly herself says she delays them to help prevent people from tracking and following her (she said this during her interview in England in July, I believe).
Fame has its costs.
@@ZackaryMac yeah ABR said she confirmed last minute she can come and be a speaker, and a few weeks later we saw videos about her waiting for parts in Abidjan for 10 days, so I'm guessing that was when that happened, big break in travelling + in a relatively big hub.
This is stupid to go there. No fun and something worst can happen in a minute.
@@podunkman2709 calm down! africa is generally safe. In fact, Safer than blacks strolling in white neighbourhoods
I can see that Noraly is an experienced traveller especially in tough places to travel, she keeps all opinions and negative comments on security issues to herself, because she knows her camera can always be used against her in such places, we look forward to the days of stress free travel in Africa.

Hi Noraly, I’m watching all your episodes in a non-chronological way, but you know what …. it doesn’t make a difference because every episode is an adventure on it’s own! You are so amazing, humble and open-minded and showing respect to everyone you encounter, even if they treat you not fair all the time. But because you show how you are, you have, or better you get, a lot of respect back! Also I admire the way you are enjoying your trip all by yourself and your resilience and humour are beyond the normal standards! Thank you again for sharing all the beautiful moments of your trip through Africa!! 🙏🏼
Sometimes the best (and safest) way to visit some of the exotic places is through the lens of Noraly's camera .
Agreed. I would have been shot by now. Not that I would deserve it either, just my luck with hostile territory.
👍👍
If you always want to feel safe, i have a padded cell for you. You will be fed three times daily and you will never feel unsafe again.

YOU TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH LOL. GOD BLESS HER.
Noraly keeps her cool under the most diverse situations. Impressive. An important characteristic for world travel.
hi Noraly, short ride but an interesting day….The lady with the fruit shop was so sweet, reminded me of my mother in fact.
I got the feeling the guy in the red shirt was in charge at the checkpoint. That looked a bit scary. They were just like the military everywhere really. Turned out they were pretty professional. You handled that well as usual mate.
That was some lovely waterfall. And cheers to the great people and beautiful countryside of Togo.
jakg
Yep.
I could never be that cool under such circumstances :)
Did you mean under a "hostile situation?"
Nothing hostile there. The military guys were doing their job. If an Isis-looking person was traveling through the country side of the US, the cops would definitely stop him and ask vital questions including scanning through his camera for security purposes.
I was really worried for your safety when that guy grabbed your camera, it was the way he ripped it from your hand, it looked like a nasty situation, and the look on your face told me you were also worried. I'm glad it ended well and you got your camera back and you were unharmed. You have a lot of balls for a lady, be safe.
very rude of that guy who took your camera very rude stay safe Noraly good luck on your travels.
He just wanted to see the next episode of Noraly before we get to see it ;-)
@@l.d.t.6327 🤣
How many times have we seen Noraly get in some situations that make us Nervous and Worried about her safety.
In the end Her cheerful and outgoing personality always prevails saves the day!
@FITNESSOVER45 so nice of you to point out this negative possibility. Sometimes it's just better to say nothing at all.
Staying calm and thinking your way through different situations has kept you safe. Admirable. Magnificent Scenery.
After the camera situation, this is the first time she says bye to nobody.
@@HyperLinguist-AI yep
My South African friend always said ‘Mother Africa is beautiful, but she can bite’.
Thankfully you negotiated the situation superbly 🙏
In fact, a situation like that could also end up with one suddenly finding oneself in a prison or in a security cell and being mistaken for maybe some “spy” or something like that. But this could of course also happen somewhere else.
@@aris1956 that can happen anywhere in the world depending on the circumstances, it can happen even in Canada or America if you where filming the police putting down a demonstration. In Mauii Island in Hawaii, police stopped cars fleeing fire areas,and disrupted aid workers from helping civilians, Google it .horrible things happen ALL over the world if you look deeply enough.
To be fair, people get stopped for filming by the police or army pretty much anywhere in the world. Loads of examples on UA-cam.
In this case Mother Africa had nothing to do with it africans had to do with it.

Heart stopping moment with those military guys. Thank goodness you got your camera back. Other than that incident, Togo is a beautiful country. Fabulous drone footage! 👌
Not military. Self appointed thugs
@@holmes1956O whether they're real military or just thugs, believe me in that situation you're at their mercy. I've traveled overland through Africa and been in highly stressful situations with several armed guys surrounding our vehicle - you're immediately intimidated. Been asked for ridiculous bribes etc, outright. Although you're at their mercy, you still need to keep your head, be cordial and do as they ask in order to drive away safely. It's tricky as hell and super stressful. Noraly did really well.
@@bridgetedwardslivelifefully I live in Africa, born and raised, this incident made my blood boil….
Having a gun and wearing camo doesn't make you a military man. Militaristic yes, military no. Scary stuff! I will never forgive you, Noraly, if something terrible happens to you...Please stay safe. Love you!
they are not true military btw , maybe reservist@@Valcour
Noraly, what a fright. I'm Mozambican and I always follow you here. On my own behalf and on behalf of Africans in general, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by our military brothers in Togo. Best wishes for continued excellent experiences. Cheers!
Nothing to apologized here
Togo immigration are always like this because of the dictatorship there
Ya, no need to pull it off her hand like that ..she is not armed nor an enemy.
this guys no brothers
No need to apologize. a-holes are everywhere. It's quite dramatic to try and apologize on behalf of a whole continent 😅
Viva Moçambique, a área controladas por rebels e não são seguras but some people here are pushing it off like is something normal. Africa is a peaceful place, few bad apples thou.
As an African hailing from East Africa, specifically Kenyan, who is addicted to your channel, this is so exotic and raw. I would have sworn that places like this do not exist. Thank you! @itchy boots. Also there is something relaxing with the way you talk, approach people, and your spirit. It's a bliss. Good luck in your safari, creating these gems for us!

Wow, happy to hear from my fellow Kenyan❤❤❤
I give it to you lady, you have balls doing what you are doing on your own as a female. Huge respect!!
yeah till something happens then shes a victim fine line
she does have balls!
Maybe no one told her abt Africa she shud take it easy cos even we African here can’t du dat if I where her I will neva remove my helmet and I will not go alone the grace of the lord be with her and white race that race will forever be ahead of blacks
she is ballless bro 😜 that's why she don't scare of anything.
It has got not nothing to do being a female. It is worse for a black man on his own. Being a white woman is an advantage. Even in Africa where tend to protect foreigner compared to europeans who each black man as a threat
Lots of youtube creators claim to "go off the beaten path". Don't think anybody does it quite like Itchy Boots, and the result is truly exceptional content.
OMG! I was holding my breath when they stopped you and demanded your camera. The fact there were so many men, surrounding you, and getting closer to you, had me holding my breath. I am so thankful they realized you meant no harm and allowed you to leave safely. The country side and people you have been meeting have been absolutely beautiful and so pleasant. Prayers for your continued safe jouney.
At least they didn't ask her to marry them.
@@davidmende4438 LOL!! Like all the others were doing! HA--HA-HA! She sure got a lot of offers of proposals.

Breathtaking views on the ride through the mountains and the stunning drone shots could not be spoiled by the scary stop by the military. The beautiful waterfall was well worth the hike. We learn so much from you Itchy Boots, thank you!
Wow thanks for beautiful video. Togo is a very beautiful place to visit it’s my mother country as well.
Sometimes I fear for your safety, Noraly. Ride safe and thx again for a great episode.
NORALY's Journey is always FASCINATING. Her drone shots are always AMAZING! 👍👍
Itchy boots! How I wish I had itchy boots like hers. I doff my hat for this lady, she’s so bold, brave, courageous and undaunted. Hope to meet her one day to tap into her source of inspiration. May the Lord God watch over and keep her cheerful. 😊❤🎉. Bravo!.
Thank you Noraly. Amazing journey also includes interaction with people from all walks of life. Her calm cooperation with the security checkpoint turned out well. She shows us that when traveling the world you have to be respectful of other folks countries and local norms. We all have to admit that what she is doing is extremely rare. I can see how a security check point would find it difficult to believe.
Justo seu comentário
THAT was a scary moment....your camera and GPS almost confiscated.....but well done Noraly for staying calm throughout the encounter.....a non confrontational approach is always the best policy !! Waterfall was magnificent......you are truly blessed Noraly !
Exactly
Noraly handled the situation very well!
Even when the soldier and the other subject treat her badly and take her camera away, Noraly does not emit any insults.
Remarkable
Yeah, Noraly is a real lady with an university degree and a good upbringing by solid parents
Insulting a soldier in that situation would be the most stupid thing to do.
... Do you not see the machine gun? What are you thinking?
@@evoermine Totally agree, that's like making a difficult situation even worse to insult someone carrying a machine gun!
Who the heck would do that in a place where you have no rights.
What amazed me the most was the time you were involved in that accident. Amazing that you put on a smile while you were in pain. Incredible indeed!
What an intense episode! The camera near-confiscation had me holding my breath, thankfully the Insta 360 went unnoticed. The drone's view of the Togo mountains was breathtaking, and the waterfall hike was pure wanderlust.
Well said. And Indeed it was intense!
My first thought when Noraly switched to the launch of the drone was to show the policemen they can't contain her and she wanted us to forget the negative and continue to see the beauty!
And the GoPro near her left hand as well lol
Thank you for sharing your world with us. By doing so, you make our world a better place.
Are you think about travel to africa
Actually quite surprised that this is the first time you’ve had issues with cameras and the police in Africa.
Luckily for her, Noraly can keep her cool. Usually a few smiles get her through. This video, she wasn't smiling. Except possibly internally, as she knew her 360° camera was filming everything. They just weren't smart enough to know what technology Noraly had.
Well, it was worse than the police. It was the army. And there's one thing you don't want the army to do: interfere with civilian life.
One of the guys even had an eye on her navigation aide.
yea 7 0r 800 dollars@@pinoyheartbeat7245
perhaps they hide their faces and are afraid of cameras maybe they are members of their own and killed Ukrainians in the Wagner PMCs group and now they are on leave in Africa
Thanks for been sooo patient with the camera issue... You're a SUPER HERO. I really appreciate the way you've been able to handle that situation with care and maturity. Have you seen the "STAR" within the Togolese Flag??? That's exactly what you are next to me. M. World. ,❤❤💪🏿💪🏿❤❤👊🏿👊🏿
Hello Noraly and Itchy Boots Community.
First congratulations to Noraly for this journey and thanks for the sharing.
I am a togolese myself and was nervous about encouters with Togo security/border/customs officers as I realized Noraly was heading toward my country... reports of them being unfriendly, unprofessional and even intimidating are common, unfortunately...
The people themselves should mostly be kind and friendly though, just like Victory in this episode...
I wish Noraly less (no more) such bad encounters throughout Togo!
Congrats again!
Cheers!
Can you tell us what the officers were saying?
I’d love a translation of what they were saying.
Military: "Give your camera. I want to see what you filmed."
Noraly: "No sir, you have to wait for Sunday's episode, just like everyone else."
Lol😂
Love your reaction
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Very good, Noraly. I'm sure you already know this, but it needs to be said: your attractiveness is not just physical. You are smart, resilient, strong and very brave. Thanks for being such a good inspiration.
For men and women....can learn a lot from her from her travelling
Love watching this lady and her exploits. Learning more about each country that she passes through and the people. Learning more than what the television nature programmes show. Absolutely amazing.
I think everyone is amazed that a young beautiful lady touring the world, and being in their country all alone. You handle yourself well.🤗
That smile on her face when leaving these “cops” behind with most of her camera’s still running 😂
Yep. I loved how they pointed at everything she was wearing and demanding to see what it filmed even if it wasn't a camera, meanwhile an actual camera goes unnoticed and is recording the entire event.
"Lemme see camera!"
"That's my GPS."
"I want to see what you filmed with that!"
"That's not a camera either. That's my flashlight."
"Show us recordings of that!"
"Not a camera. That is my watch."
"That! Show me!"
"That's my boot."
"See video!"
"Front tire."
"Show!"
"Rock."
Yeah. Those guys were all over it.....except for the camera still recording.
Don't tell my gf, but I'm actually a little in love with Noraly. I melted at the smile she gave us after she completed stepstoning the little river during the hike.
@@NiPiHa How dare you 😋👍.
@@NiPiHa im telling
"cops"
Some tense moments for sure but you're one cool cucumber Noraly . You're showing us how beautiful the country is at every turn .
It goes well and good for thousands of times i hope it will not go completly wrong one time this women is a gem
noraly, you are a strong, intelligent and courageous person. you are a role model for us take care of yourself ❤
I had never seen an ounce of frustration in Noraly's face before, no matter how harsh or dangerous the situation. But when that man took her camera from her hands. Wow! But she knew how to control her frustration and kept her cool. That's how our hero handles what the world throws at her. Chill Out and Ride On!
The hike to the waterfall was awesome. I see that the tropical countries in Africa, are very similar to the ones in South America. The fauna and flora look very much alike. Beautiful!
My husband is Togolese and we go there every other year. I was so on edge wondering what those men were going to do with your camera. I always feel so on edge when next to any military/police/border control because I feel so much at their mercy when we are there, but you stayed so calm. I'm amazed and inspired by your bravery and courage. So glad you showed Togo the world! Most people have never heard of it!
lol then you're at their mercy? You're at the country's mercy 24/7 on an unspoken arraignment of good faith with people she knows nothing about, nor what to do if there's an emergency or worse... disarmed in a second, and these are people who most likely weren't nefarious... imagine putting blind trust in an entire country who don't have any accountability like these men. God complexes. "Reporters" are kidnapped by pirates, tourist bodies are found in god awful shape and are plastered on the news. God complex, but God was never a statistic... people are.
If that is how tourists are treated in Togo.....you can keep it!!!

why she put her life in danger ?? doing these trips
If it was me, I would’ve wanted to leave the country and not give any of my tourist dollars to the country that had police that tried to bully and intimidate me (they were incredibly intimidating) you, as we all know, are a better person than I and I’m glad I get to travel with you thank you again Noraly
Don't worry about military they are doing their Orally knows this thats why she didn't add anything.

Even in such an unclear situation you stay calm and still go on filming! You're not only a skilled person, you're a cool lady too! 👍
I lived in Africa for 15 years with military escort between camp and airport and could have never imagined to be on my own anywhere. Noraly is one among the bravest woman on this planet. God bless you always on your travels!
As an contractor you should not always see problems then you cant live my play grounds been west africa when you get africa in your blood then you cant get it out ( i have my Guns in one contry in west africa the bank ) 🤣
Can you guys stop generalisation. Mention the name of the country instead of the continent because some countries in West African are extremely safe . In Gambia, we have a lot of expatriates, mostly from England, but they need no guard or gun to go about their business. I believe the same for Senegal, Ghana, etc etc
Africa is a lot safer than a lot of other western countries. Its the people who make a place safe not the place itself
I been in Senegal and Gambia and they are safe but they can also start cooking in the pot😆
@@janeriksson4199 what do you mean start cooking in the pot?
Noraly , you are truly the "Super Woman" of You Tube, the one true Emila Eirhart of the Moto traveling explorer. As many have said in different ways "your smile illuminates the world for us all ". May God continue to bless your future travels and keep you safe.
In most places, young people who lack sharpness and wit are recruited into the military, where they undergo training to become rough and impolite. Noraly's skillful handling of the uncomfortable and awkward situation with calmness and poise has earned considerable admiration.
"Young" is the wrong word. "Uneducated" is the word. These men don't understand their job and training so they abuse the power of their gun. They most likely had very basic formal education. A lot of soldiers in poorer African countries are not very well educated. Such systems (governments) are not very functional so soldiers are not disciplined in cases like these.
ask americans who made check points in the middle east. They shoot anybody who's speeding towards the checkpoint, strip people to their butt and search them unlawfully. Not only cameras, if you can live through it, you're lucky. I'm sick and tired of everybody pointing fingers at africans, like if this only happen in Africa, like if so many people went through check points with no problem. If really Africa is that bad an unarmed white woman wouldn't have stood a chance here. Many people cycle through here with no problems. If you don't want to deal with the military checkpoints, don't come to a continent that mostly ruled by military.
@@aberba Yeah for sure especially the guy with the black T shirt was very rude. I speak French fluently and understood everything he said. That Guy lack good manners

Easily the biggest adventurer on UA-cam 😱
Stay safe & keep showing us what is possible Noraly.
I'll cry if I think about the time it will take me to see all those beutiful places on my own. And also for those who will never have the fortune or the guts to go out there and wander like our fellow traveller here. big respect for being so brave.
I can't get over how not afraid of heights Noraly is. I could not have walked up that steep wall towards that waterfall. Noraly so brave.
I was also afraid that she wouldn't get her camera back. Glad it worked out well. Love this trek
It looked a bit dodgy getting up there..... getting back down would have concerned even a more

The fact that there is a video shows everything went well
@@kidgforce1 I agree, that’s how I felt it ended OK - however, it still seemed like a dicey situation
Noraly has given me a tour of what life is outside my world. An hr 30 mins of seeing 4 of your videos seems like I've been through many places. Thanks, Noraly for showing me the beauty of a part of Togo. You're amazing! Love from Los, Nigeria.
Many men wouldn't have the balls to travel straight into danger zone but you're filled with adventures enthusiasm, you've proved without a doubt that you're unstoppable👍, admiring you all the way from the other side of the world near the land down.
We never know how we will handle stressful interactions, but you always do so well in responding and not just reacting to them. And it was very kind of the guy in the red shirt to come over and help translate. Always nice to have a “friend” around in those situations. Also, I hope Victori did not lose too many of her peanuts during that storm ⛈️
Well said 👏
I think under the circumstances you kept remarkably calm. It was definitely the right way to handle the situation you were in. Many people would have gotten extremely angry in that situation. It also looked very intimidating . It was a shame because everyone else was really nice.

Wow, how intimidating was that stop by the military ! Glad it worked out okay. Beautiful scenery to placate you. 👍
Thanks for all your hard work, Noraly. It's under appreciated the filming, editing, producing and importing the video. You tell your stories in such an interesting way. I suppose it was inevitable with the encounter of the military men. They seemed to be unaware and oblivious to the other cameras on Alaska. Great job!
Thank you for your journeying, I feel like I'm riding with you. I have done a few exceptional short motorcycle journey s in south africa. I love motorcycles. I always enjoyed not knowing what's around the bend or over the hill and traveling in a sheer state of adventure. Being bold. Amazing channel. Im hooked. You are astoundingly brave and strong and maintain a good balance in times of crisis. Bravo.
The military details had no idea there was another cam filming them taking away the other cam! And so on went the filming without a break. Genius stuff.
You are a women with wisdom and strength. God has given you the guide and protection. So safe travel all over the world.
Nice comment. I shouldn't have been surprised, but Google the definition of Noraly. "God is my Light" or "Light of God". She shines the light brightly for the world. Peace!
The drone view - between the misty mountains, winding dirt trail and dramatic music, I could easily picture an elf army on the move down there. Lovely conversation on the rain-sheltered porch! Wow - I didn't know cacao pods grew right from the trunk. That was some hike to the waterfall. Glad you had both hands free for the scramble back down again. Another riveting episode with confiscated camera suspense in the middle!
Tropical fruits like Jackfruit, Soursop (Guanabana), Cacao and many others bear from the trunk and side of major branches.

One thing you DON'T take from a film maker: Her ability to tell a story and earn a living. Especially one of the greatest film makers/videographers on UA-cam. ☹
are you that naïve?
I’m still unsure what they were even looking for or what law she was suspected of violating. Seemed like just some power hungry thugs with guns to me. When more showed up and she was basically surrounded by men with guns it was starting to look pretty scary.
A moment which could have gone wrong but it didn`t thank goodness, keep safe Noraly. xx
The culprits looking over her camera are concerned about being on video themselves. Individuals that are wanted can be found by those looking for them in content such as this. Noraly is not capturing them intentionally but is providing valuable intelligence just the same
