4 yrs ago I gave up cable tv not knowing what I’d be watching. Soon I discovered Itchy Boots crossing into the US from Mexico. I watched a few episodes then decided to watch all her back episodes from day 1 and got caught up. Best decision I’ve made!! Thanks Noraly!! Buen viaje!!
Quite a journey eh. It's the triumph of the middle path always friendly and unassuming yet always intrepid and determined always ready to laugh and see the humor yet proactively having good gear and taking good care of it. Never too high never too low. ☯️
Much better than national geographic. I Entered on season one and some of the videos in the European Asian countries and Iran had made my heart stop. Not the people but the dangerous terrain and her getting frozen. I would like to download them for myself but that maybe a copyright issue. On this video when she was waiting out the rain in the forest and the showed up on the trail with bright sky was so weird like out of thriller movie and ready to scream.
Hi Noraly, As a 40 year old male, even I don't have that much courage like you to go into the African jungle and ralk with stranger. You're really a brave women. God bless you. Stay healthy, stay safe. Love from India.
As Angolan, I must say you have chosen the toughest routes to travel in Angola. But was good to see some unfamiliar places and remote places to me. You are a brave woman!
You are the best story teller. Most people try to tell you what you are seeing. You show people what you see. That's the difference between TELLING and SHOWING!!! You let your audience discover things the same way you see them. Always a surprise, always a good story.
Two strangers met in an isolated rainy African forest; all you see is their smile and good wishes to each other; there is still hope for the rest of us who live in fear and hate of each other..
Nice comment, I had the same feeling. It's great to see this kind of attitude in a world that is increasingly full of anger and hatred. Thanks Noraly, thanks Angola people, thanks @sabert888.
This woman takes the word "remarkable" to another level. I have followed Noraly for several years and her courage, determination, and kind spirit are truly exemplary. I have traveled the world-over but all of my experiences pale in comparison to this amazing Dutch Geologist.
I agree with you a hundred percent - surprised at Noraly's fear of the thunderstorm but not the single track trail leading to nowhere. Our fears manifest differently I suppose.
Me too. Even in a car I would be so scared if I drive through some of the areas she drives through. Could it be because of our experience? What you don’t know can’t scare you I guess 😊
Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul, and life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. You are such an inspiration. I hope to meet you when you come to Zambia.
Firstly, all the Angolan people that Noraly has come across are so helpful, friendly and polite. I’m definitely going to visit one day from South Africa. And secondly, Noraly, you have such good manners - saying thank you to every person who helps you and chatting to people you encounter. If everybody was like Noraly the world would be a better place 💙
I am yet to meet another human not say thank you for receiving help out in the world. Although I am from Aus and have been to ZA, I can semi imagine that level of arrogance.
@@hhhllkk88that’s a bit rude! I have been all over the world and lots of people don’t say thank you - including Australians. Why spoil a nice comment by making an unnecessary comment. Be more like Noraly.
In the eastern USA Itchy Boots new video drops at 10:30 am Sunday and Wednesday. I look forward to each new one like you do in Brazil, we have that in common.
It's a good Idea, but my suggestion is that you have to fixe the road infrastructure first before the visitors arrive. You definitely have a very beautiful country, and landscape, but I think the roads on salarimo where Noraly stoped to stay in a hotel after the rain and calendula where the water falls is based is very poor for people to visit. Fixing the Road infrastructure would be very beneficial for your country tourism. I definitely would love to visit one day. Overall you have a very beautiful country.
@@marshadow959Don’t worry, the Chinese will get to it eventually. They are in the process of developing infrastructure on the continent to be able to exploit the rich resources Africa has to offer. This will also help bring more tourism. It may take a while but that’s the direction it’s heading.
I'm originally from Huambo in the Central Highlands, a remote location you probably haven't visited. While taking a route directly to Zambia from there might have been quicker, that shortcut wouldn't have captured the true spirit of the journey. Lightning is no joke! I vividly remember an incident from 1984 when a woman was struck by lightning. It's a powerful force that deserves respect. I was impressed by your time in Kazombo and your command of basic Portuguese. Kazombo has great potential for future development as a provincial capital. Your journey likely continues to Njimbe, and if you have the chance, I highly recommend visiting Mwinilunga Secondary School, my alma mater. I attended the school in 1983. Mwinilunga, Zambia is also known for its incredible pineapples, some of the best in the world! If you get the chance, please try them and give them a shout-out in your video. Following your adventure from Europe has been fascinating; it's made me feel like I want to go back home. Wishing you all the best and continued safe travels!
If nothing else, Noraly's travels remind me that most people are basically good, and our media only likes to show and report the negatives, which is really not the norm. You are a wonderful person, Noraly!
This became unbelievably evident to me when Noraly rode through the middle of Iran. First I couldn't believe she did that, but than I see in her video how the local people treated her like a rockstar with genuine caring making sure all her needs were met. Still to this day it flies in the face of what I have been led to believe in the USA! And from there I just kept seeing same repeat itself country after country. Peace!
She didn't compare the two, you did. It's a big difference between Caucasian from the North and South in the US, you must be from the South. @Aesthetics622
I motorcycle tour in the US. Once I was 1500 miles from home heading east in eastern Colorado. The sky ahead was black and I knew bad weather was coming but my goal was to make the Oklahoma border about 150 miles away. This part of Colorado is high desert flat and desolate. On I drove and soon hit rain, lightening and thunder along with 50 mph crosswinds. Saw grain silos from time to time but no towns or motels. So I understand the fear Noraly was facing. She has my utmost respect as a true adventurer.
Man, I've had that experience in that same area. My father in law is from hooker OK out in the panhandle. We lived in Springfield MO so I've ridden out in that region quite a bit. Sometimes you can't even find an overpass to hide under to put on rain gear.
Everybody thinks the United States is all populated, but out west it is just open plains and desert. It doesn't just rain out there, but flash flood, driving rain, and hail at times. I just keep moving on because the tires will protect me more from lightening than standing on the ground. I had a bolt of lightening strike the pavement about 50 feet in front of me one night in a rain storm. The flash blinded me and I got hit with chunks of asphalt, then I hit the blast hole. I asked God for protection and kept riding.
@@elky82 we’re not rich, however, we’re warm people, love friendship, love everybody either white, yellow, brown whatever. We are happy because we don’t mind about many things like in developed countries (depression, anxiety and all weird things I’ve never seen).
If we could all hug and protect you from the lightning and rain while standing there, we would! All 2.21 Million of us ❤ and more! But yes, your courage, fortitude, strength and astounding humility protects you all year round. Bravo Noraly. Always, BRAVO!
@@danielthompson803 The bike is not covered like a car with hard roof so it is not safe. Staying by a single isolated tree is unsafe during lightning but a cluster of trees may provide protection.
22:34 I’m sure you were as frightened as I’ve seen you because of the thunder and lightning, however I questioned the wisdom of seeking safety within the trees as they are kind of a lightning rod. But such are the hazards of adventure riding like you do. Happy to see that you’ve found a roof over your head for the night. Your mood certainly improved with those beautiful skies as you moved away from the storm, mine too ! Take good care, Noraly, can’t wait to see how you fare in the next video ,…❤❤❤Rick
The trick is to get into a stand of trees and stand under a shorter tree. The taller trees act as lightening rods. Standing in a clearing makes yourself a lightening rod.
Unsure, but wouldn’t being on your bike be the safest place because the tires are rubber? Electricity will not pass through rubber. You get hurt from electricity if it passes through you to the ground. So if you are on the bike it can’t pass to the ground. This is my understanding but I’m not an expert, maybe someone is an expert and can provide more insight.
@@wenzel7401 That's it in essence, electricity will take the path of least resistance to ground. On the bike, Norally is both higher resistance than the surrounding trees, but also lower. It's not great being wet, but it is likely safer on the bike than off.
@@wenzel7401 actually the rubber tires will not protect you from a direct lightning strike. I had a friend on a tractor take a direct lightning hit and it killed him instantly. The tractor kept going until it hit a ditch and stalled. Living in the Midwest US we experience lots of bad electrical storms. The best way is to seek a low area away from tall trees and wait until the storm passes if possible.
As a veteran of high altitude mountains with lots of experience with lightning I can say that you were perfectly safe on the road on your bike. In fact, you are safer on the road on your bike that standing next to the big trees! Lightning is not from the clouds down, but a meeting from the ground and clouds. As everyone knows, the high spots are more likely to make that connection. The rubber of your tires insulates quite well, and even wet there is not enough current carrying capacity to be of any real danger to you when riding. Also, if standing, make sure you stand with your feet touching each other, as the current differential between one foot and another creates a path of travel through your body that kills you. I love lightning as I know how to be around it safely!
@@milaffoon4035 Sure thing. Lightning kills many people around the world each year, mostly for reasons they could avoid if they had knowledge. I'm only alive today because this sort of knowledge has saved my life twice that I know of.
@@salishwanderer7869 I was very close to one, the big tree that was closest to me did burn . Sure thing is a scary thing. Thanks again for your good information. Much Blessings
Yes agree I still remember years ago when I was at boarding school in Tanganyika lying in bed at night shaking listening to the deafening thunder and lightening we experienced in the wet season, it was loud, very loud.
@@ragbag46 Yes, you reminded me of the sound of monsoon rain (e.g. deluge) on the corrugated roofs. The respite from the smells of decay, mold-mildew, fuels and war.
I will never complain about the roads around my house again. Thank you for sharing this, it is a beautiful part of the world I will probably never get to, so it is wonderful to see it like this.
Noraly i absolutely love everything about you and your channel. Your courage, humility, and thirst for adventure, brings me so many good feelings. We are all children of God, we all have our different cultures, that for me is one of the magical things about being human.
Salute to you Born to strive glad you ended up safely by Hotel Zambezi. May God keep protecting you throughout your adventure short for words Bravo You deserve all the glory
Shout out to all Angolan people that seems to be humble and down to earth. That encounter with the villager in the middle of the forest was unexpected and cool to see. It was a short stay in Angola but very pleasant to watch so far. Regarding to your route today was pretty hectic with all that non stop lingtining strikes and thunders. Pretty much like my country, Brazil 🇧🇷. Have a nice week for all Itchy Booters. 🤗
Every day is a new adventure with Noraly, and this one was unique. I am always surprised at what a relaxed adventurer you are. It was pouring rain and thundering on the open dirt road between villages, but you casually motored on down this tiny single track that leads who knows where.... And there you were standing by a tree in the rain, looking like a helmeted alien with red legs, while I wondered what somebody would think if they came upon you at that moment. And then along came this charming fellow with just the helpful information you need to get where you need to go. The angels really do look after you!
I’m so inspired!! Seeing Africa through your eyes fills me with so much happiness! One day I will go Mama Africa, I have been dreaming of you since I was a child ❤
Noraly, you are my Heroine, for sure: Cool under all circumstances, getting along with everybody and keeping the courage. A true adventure traveler, allowing us to travel along and to see all these new places. A big thumbs up and warm hugs from neighbouring Namibia. 🙏🌄🌍🎊💐
A Dutch woman communicating with an African man in Portuguese .. how cool is that. (before all the history teachers come for me, I KNOW history, its just nice to see..)
Thank you for showing us more about Angola and her people. They all seems so nice and welcoming. The country is so vast and fertile. It has a potential to be an African giant
You should learn, how to behave in lightnings: Lightning loves metal stuff. Put all metal stuff from your body, go away from your motorbike, maybe 20 - 50 meters. Crouch down and put your feet close together and wait, until it's over. Don't go down on your knees. If the lightning strikes in the ground near to you and the ground is wet, the elctricity goes through the ground and arrives first at one leg, than at the other leg and searches its way through your body, if you don't have your feet close together. Try to be smaller than the things around you, so the lightning will strike in there, not in you. If you are in the mountains, avoid ridges or summits. Avoid caves, the electricity can jump over from the ceiling to the ground of the cave and hits you, if you are in. Even huts are not necessarily save, if they don't have a lightning conductor. Leave your tent! Don't fear the thunder, it's harmless, the lighting is not. You'll get wet, but that doesn't matter. If you are in the forest, avoid the highest trees. Avoid single trees in the open field. I survived a horrible lightning at night in the alps at 3000m, while I was alone. Lightnings every 5-10 seconds all around me ... the most horrible night in my life. And I was glad to know, how to behave.
Really good advice. Obviously could not see all, but it looks like most was sheet lightning. Equally intimidating, but not forked lightning. Seeking shelter under trees is usually a major no-no.
Wow what a story I'm afraid of thunder and lightning and I'm 60 plus years and through my years I've seen some pretty wicked looking lightning it's funny it just goes everywhere and anywhere there's no prediction whatsoever thanks for the story God bless
My heart sinks when I see you in a vulnerable situation. I always pray that everything good happens so that you keep smiling with faith in life. Go Noraly Go!!!!
Safer on your bike Noraly, the rubber should insulate you. Once you put your stand down, you are creating a path for the lightning to travel. Also, growing up in Africa, we were always told, from my first memory as a small child, never stand under tall trees when there is lightning around.
Lightning just traveled through tens of thousands of feet of air and you think 2 inches of muddy rubber is going to insulate you from a strike... It is not rubber tires that save you in a car but the heavy canopy of conductive steel that channels it around you. On a motor bike you have no such thing.
WOW, to be cold and wet in an Angolan Forest with Lightning all around and still have a smile on your Dial, just extraordinary. Sheer guts to do a trip like this . Safe Travels
Noraly is amazing and an inspirational person. She is full of positivities in any situation. I have never seen her cribbing about anything anywhere. She can easily be considered as global citizen and ambassador. Love & Respect from Delhi, India
I’ve thought this many times but never said it. I am thrilled with your channel, BUT I worry that you place yourself in such vulnerable situations. As an 80 year old I can’t help but feel you’re just a kid to me. Love you. 😊
@@donaldlouwe3939straight from the US State Department’s website: “Exercise increased caution in Angola due to crime and health. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory. Violent crime, such as armed robbery, assault, carjacking, and homicide, is common. Local police lack the resources to respond effectively to serious criminal incidents.” Maybe you check your ideology
@@donaldlouwe3939 LOL "racial biases". Sub-Saharan Africa remains a dangerous continent. Yes, there's safe areas, but in general it's far more dangerous than the West or even a good chunk of Asia.
Indeed Noraly is young on years BUT i think she has the wisdom, instinct and judgment amongst many other really cool attributes that serve her so well, also don't forget she has been travelling the world constantly for many years now. I do worry about her occasionally however every single time i do she deals with all situations with consummate confidence combined with care and respect whoever or whatever scenario it may be and I have followed Noraly from very early on. She is so cool 😎. I love her.
Noraly as an old time bike rider I always carried a small polyester tarp (2×3 metres) which is invaluable in that kind of weather. Folds up small & weighs only 500 grams or so. The advice about moving away from your bike is right & also make yourself as small as possible is also right. The tarp just makes it a bit more bearable than sitting in the downpour & in hot weather provides shade. It is amazing how you manage to put out your excellent videos while enduring the extremes of weather you encounter. Take care & ride safe from W. Australia. 🌹 👍 😁.
You got it! Look close at the image on Noraly's T-shirt in her season 1 video intro and see if you can identify who. And yes lots of Love and blessings to Noraly is good to give. Peace!
Lovely as always. Angola seems super relaxed to travel compared to the other African countries so far. Felt that thunder in my bones through the stereo 10,000 kms northwest of Angola 🤣!
A beautiful lady in the midlle of a jungle, alone! No fear of wild animals or wild people! Your simplisty is all that this life wants, isn't it wonderful!!. Say hi to anybody, smile to everyone, visit everywhere, sleep anywhere! You're a brave lady Noraly! The HD Thunder comment, hillarious 😂. When the gentleman at the forest said "Its 1 hour, because the road is good", I honestly expected a tarmarc road. Keep doing what you doing as we keep following you keenly. Thank you for touring us around the world.
We were literally holding our breath as you waited out the thunder and lightening!! Wow just wow. We love how youre just, I'll take this little side road off the main dirt road into the forrest, surely it leads to small village... oh nope I'll just stop here in the middle of no where in 360 directional storm.. and without being startled greet a local man who appears out of nowhere with a smile. Absolute legend!! You've inspired so many people, to be adventurous and get their motorcycle licence. Me being one of them!! Thank you so much for sharing with the world 😊
A beautiful lady that dares to travel alone around rural parts of Africa....hats off to you. Living life on the edge and putting human decency to the test. But this is also the reason why I'm now a subscriber and binge watching your old videos. Personally, I had progressively owned Yamaha DR200, Honda XR250 and finally Honda XR400. Loved my XR400 workhorse, rode it for 24yrs and never broke down on me once. Stay safe and consider buddy up for future adventures. 👍
I can't say enough...I love Angola, with it's beautiful pleasant people, beautiful landscape, and the Portuguese accent. I never new they spoke Portuguese in Africa, Love it, thank you Noraly for this wonderful journey through West Africa.
We thank God that you we’re protected from the thunder in that jungle. The land is beautiful just like Zambia’s. When I was young person I could have walked on that road from Zambia but we never reached Cazombo, which I would like to see how it looks. Thanks a million times for your bravery to show us Angola.
Dear Noraly, first off I'm glad you're alright. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. As a 59 year old man with disabilities due to my extreme sports lifestyle in my youth, i no longer ride bikes. Your videos help me to remember what total freedom is. I can barely drive my car from Los Angeles to San Diego without being sore (150 miles) The people you encounter have mostly been honest, caring people. Where we can't trust our governments, we CAN trust humanity. God Speed Noraly ❣️
Dear Noraly, I was taught not to hide under trees during an severe electrical storm, trees are high points which attract the lightning. Instead find a open spot and make yourself as small as possible. Aside of that I loved the episode. As all of them. 👍👍👍
yeah but there are thousands of trees, whats the chance ? in a open field with just a couple of trees yeah maybe dangerous but not there she had no choice. .
I agree. If you are stuck in bush though then stay away from the tallest trees. Sometimes you have to stop if the conditions become too wet to see and ride safely. On Tarmac you should be insulated by your wheels and hopefully the strike will hit the trees alongside the road. If you do feel the charge, maybe your hair standing up in the air, then get as low as you can.
Just wanted to say hello from the 🇬🇧. Me and my boys watch you all the time. Neve 7yrs and seth 5. Your a natural on camera and very calm. Safe travels ..❤ 🇬🇧
Always have a tarp and rope to make a quick shelter to stay dry. Lighting can strike anywhere, even in a little forest. If you can hear thunder, it can get you. Good luck, be safe.
@@JamesSchrader-i7o For you and (me too) its stupid to go to forest alone , but this girl had experience in many country, she can protect herself , Noraly not simple weak girl as you think

I live around Detroit Michigan and you would not be greeted so nicely as you would in Angola. I'm sorry to say. I can't wait to see the friendlier places
You just made me back in time when I was living in Angola and riding the motorcycle through the country. I believe it mus be one of the best places in the world to ride. You skipped the south of the country this time, but believe me if you loved the northern/tropical part, wait until you ride in the south not only in the desert but inland where you have so many places that will blow your mind away. I know the region pretty well, I would be glad to give you some tips for places to ride so you can decide. Ride Safe ✌
Itchy, worst place to be during a thunderstorm is under trees, they act as conductors and are more likely to get hit, best place to be is in the open away from trees. Stay safe 😊
Well, not exactly so either, because in open, you are the highest point and for that reason likely to get hit. Best place is to be some distance from big trees. So that the tree's take the hit but far enough so that it's not dangerous for you.😅😅
@_DutchFox_ No, that would absolutely be the worst thing to do, she did the right thing, stood away from her bike. She is in woods so she is going to be near one of the trees.
There is no time to be scared, not on a bike. You did just fine. The thunder and lightening is absolutely beautiful and God like, but deadly. The beautiful deep purples of the flash. Your odds are even, wherever you are in a lightening storm. Keep your body away from the trees during. The trees are a ground strap for the lightening. don't lean on them, just hover underneath. Lightening doesn't care and is not particular. There was some blue in the sky with the other colors after the trees and noise, God giving you a wink saying "you did just fine". Keep riding Noraly, you have more chapters to write. Be careful, trust but verify. Most of the people seem nice.
Hi Noraly.. You continue to demonstrate incredible courage and resilience in every episode. This entire tour is truly remarkable-kudos to you! I've always found it fascinating that portion how you seamlessly immerse viewers by using the caption with helmet camera of front view along soothing background music. It feels as though I'm riding through lush landscapes in bustling weather. -it's fantastic! Just a heads up for your safety, especially given the recent incident involving a Spanish biker couple at the India border. Please take extra precautions and prioritize your safety. Keep up the amazing work!

I'm originally from Huambo in the Central Highlands, a remote location you probably haven't visited. While taking a route directly to Zambia from there might have been quicker, that shortcut wouldn't have captured the true spirit of the journey.
Lightning is no joke! I vividly remember an incident from 1984 when a woman was struck by lightning. It's a powerful force that deserves respect.
I was impressed by your time in Kazombo and your command of basic Portuguese. Kazombo has great potential for future development as a provincial capital. Your journey likely continues to Njimbe, and if you have the chance, I highly recommend visiting Mwinilunga Secondary School, my alma mater. I attended the school in 1983.
Mwinilunga, Zambia is also known for its incredible pineapples, some of the best in the world! If you get the chance, please try them and give them a shout-out in your video.
Following your adventure from Europe has been fascinating; it's made me feel like I want to go back home.
Wishing you all the best and continued safe travels!
If nothing else, Noraly's travels remind me that most people are basically good, and our media only likes to show and report the negatives, which is really not the norm. You are a wonderful person, Noraly!
Greetings,When are you visuting Africa
This became unbelievably evident to me when Noraly rode through the middle of Iran. First I couldn't believe she did that, but than I see in her video how the local people treated her like a rockstar with genuine caring making sure all her needs were met. Still to this day it flies in the face of what I have been led to believe in the USA! And from there I just kept seeing same repeat itself country after country. Peace!
Go to Detroit Michigan if you're broke down they ask you how much money you have then they help you.
She didn't compare the two, you did. It's a big difference between Caucasian from the North and South in the US, you must be from the South. @Aesthetics622
Truly Wonderful . . .
I am so glad I found your channel- it’s like being on the adventure of a lifetime with you! You are so brave!!
you right bro
I motorcycle tour in the US. Once I was 1500 miles from home heading east in eastern Colorado. The sky ahead was black and I knew bad weather was coming but my goal was to make the Oklahoma border about 150 miles away. This part of Colorado is high desert flat and desolate. On I drove and soon hit rain, lightening and thunder along with 50 mph crosswinds. Saw grain silos from time to time but no towns or motels. So I understand the fear Noraly was facing. She has my utmost respect as a true adventurer.
Man, I've had that experience in that same area. My father in law is from hooker OK out in the panhandle. We lived in Springfield MO so I've ridden out in that region quite a bit. Sometimes you can't even find an overpass to hide under to put on rain gear.
Everybody thinks the United States is all populated, but out west it is just open plains and desert. It doesn't just rain out there, but flash flood, driving rain, and hail at times. I just keep moving on because the tires will protect me more from lightening than standing on the ground. I had a bolt of lightening strike the pavement about 50 feet in front of me one night in a rain storm. The flash blinded me and I got hit with chunks of asphalt, then I hit the blast hole. I asked God for protection and kept riding.
Who else thinks Itchy Boots is the best channel on UA-cam?👍🥀🤠
She's better than any documentary you see on Africa on TV !
She gets my vote, no question. ✌️✌️✌️🇨🇦
Better than Mr beast
It's great, but no.
@Itchyboots..Indeed, one of the best
Noralys charismatic adventures make every challenge a beautiful thing. You are a great motorcycle rider with the power to succeed. Kudos!
I watch this channel a lot and have learned that Africans are very friendly
They absolutly are! I went to Senegal for many years and they are just as nice and always helpfull 5:30
@@elky82 we’re not rich, however, we’re warm people, love friendship, love everybody either white, yellow, brown whatever. We are happy because we don’t mind about many things like in developed countries (depression, anxiety and all weird things I’ve never seen).
Angolan people are down to earth calm and pacific. They struggled a lot during wartime, so they know the value of peace and friendliness.
You are 100% right.
Most of angolan people have afraid of war, so they preserve the peace.
Your wrong... they are calm and Atlantic! The Pacific is half a world away!
You are right, I AM angolan and we know de value of peace. It was 27 years of civil war. We just want to see our contry growing up
False. They are up in space, not down to earth.
If we could all hug and protect you from the lightning and rain while standing there, we would! All 2.21 Million of us ❤ and more! But yes, your courage, fortitude, strength and astounding humility protects you all year round. Bravo Noraly. Always, BRAVO!
Why is nobody saying how stupid it is to stand underneath trees when there's lighting? Your bike is the safest place to be!
@@danielthompson803 I dont blame her, she was scared
It's very dangerous to stand under 🌴 Trees as they are Litening conductors.
@@danielthompson803
The bike is not covered like a car with hard roof so it is not safe.
Staying by a single isolated tree is unsafe during lightning but a cluster of trees may provide protection.
@@ebenezerakhideno8487 it's not the roof on a cart that protects you, it's the fact that you're not earthed same for csr and bike.
22:34 I’m sure you were as frightened as I’ve seen you because of the thunder and lightning, however I questioned the wisdom of seeking safety within the trees as they are kind of a lightning rod. But such are the hazards of adventure riding like you do. Happy to see that you’ve found a roof over your head for the night. Your mood certainly improved with those beautiful skies as you moved away from the storm, mine too ! Take good care, Noraly, can’t wait to see how you fare in the next video ,…❤❤❤Rick
The trick is to get into a stand of trees and stand under a shorter tree. The taller trees act as lightening rods. Standing in a clearing makes yourself a lightening rod.
Unsure, but wouldn’t being on your bike be the safest place because the tires are rubber? Electricity will not pass through rubber. You get hurt from electricity if it passes through you to the ground. So if you are on the bike it can’t pass to the ground. This is my understanding but I’m not an expert, maybe someone is an expert and can provide more insight.
@@wenzel7401 That's it in essence, electricity will take the path of least resistance to ground. On the bike, Norally is both higher resistance than the surrounding trees, but also lower. It's not great being wet, but it is likely safer on the bike than off.
@@wenzel7401 And keep in mind this electricity is in millions volts. The wheels are just a few inches thick.
@@wenzel7401 actually the rubber tires will not protect you from a direct lightning strike. I had a friend on a tractor take a direct lightning hit and it killed him instantly. The tractor kept going until it hit a ditch and stalled. Living in the Midwest US we experience lots of bad electrical storms. The best way is to seek a low area away from tall trees and wait until the storm passes if possible.
It needs a lot of courage to do such travels and record them,you are brave lady keep it up,want to see more of beautiful Africa .
As a veteran of high altitude mountains with lots of experience with lightning I can say that you were perfectly safe on the road on your bike. In fact, you are safer on the road on your bike that standing next to the big trees! Lightning is not from the clouds down, but a meeting from the ground and clouds. As everyone knows, the high spots are more likely to make that connection. The rubber of your tires insulates quite well, and even wet there is not enough current carrying capacity to be of any real danger to you when riding. Also, if standing, make sure you stand with your feet touching each other, as the current differential between one foot and another creates a path of travel through your body that kills you. I love lightning as I know how to be around it safely!
Love how people love to start their sentences, "as an expert" or "as an engineer" always such high opinions of themselves.
Wow good to know , thanks for sharing your knowledge I know this was for Noraly . But we all some day maybe will need it. Thanks !!!
@@milaffoon4035 Sure thing. Lightning kills many people around the world each year, mostly for reasons they could avoid if they had knowledge. I'm only alive today because this sort of knowledge has saved my life twice that I know of.
@@salishwanderer7869 I was very close to one, the big tree that was closest to me did burn . Sure thing is a scary thing. Thanks again for your good information. Much Blessings
@@salishwanderer7869oô
Good afternoon Noraly,from a sunny but cold, Derbyshire England.😍
You lucky bugger overcast and cold here in Essex
Good night
There is nothing more magical than an African tropical rain storm. It’s loud, mystical and the smell ❤❤❤
I love the smell of gum trees after a thunderstorm.
Yes agree I still remember years ago when I was at boarding school in Tanganyika lying in bed at night shaking listening to the deafening thunder and lightening we experienced in the wet season, it was loud, very loud.
Sim, cheiro de terra, de mato, um perfume
@@ragbag46 Yes, you reminded me of the sound of monsoon rain (e.g. deluge) on the corrugated roofs. The respite from the smells of decay, mold-mildew, fuels and war.
I will never complain about the roads around my house again. Thank you for sharing this, it is a beautiful part of the world I will probably never get to, so it is wonderful to see it like this.
I will. As we are paying massive council taxes for pot holed roads with poor drainage . . .
@@donniet685 that's fair. They aren't so bad here. Just cracks and bumps. But I live in a desert, so potholes aren't so bad.
Noraly i absolutely love everything about you and your channel. Your courage, humility, and thirst for adventure, brings me so many good feelings. We are all children of God, we all have our different cultures, that for me is one of the magical things about being human.
Thank you so much for showing us this beautiful continent and all the wonderful people. I am so amazed by everything.
Happy women's day and god bless you. Appreciate your guts and passion. 👏Stay safe and healthy.
Salute to you
Born to strive glad you ended up safely by Hotel Zambezi. May God keep protecting you throughout your adventure short for words Bravo
You deserve all the glory
Shout out to all Angolan people that seems to be humble and down to earth. That encounter with the villager in the middle of the forest was unexpected and cool to see. It was a short stay in Angola but very pleasant to watch so far. Regarding to your route today was pretty hectic with all that non stop lingtining strikes and thunders. Pretty much like my country, Brazil 🇧🇷.
Have a nice week for all Itchy Booters. 🤗
Valeu mano🫰🏾
@@diamantinoafonso7031 Um Kandandu Diamantino 🤗
Angolan town lookscleaner than our south African towns!
We appreciate it 😊
This is about our people, who are humble, friendly, and welcoming.
I hope my daughters are as bold and confident in their own ability as you, Itchy Boots. Thank you for these shows. My girls and I are fans.
Every day is a new adventure with Noraly, and this one was unique. I am always surprised at what a relaxed adventurer you are.
It was pouring rain and thundering on the open dirt road between villages, but you casually motored on down this tiny single track that leads who knows where....
And there you were standing by a tree in the rain, looking like a helmeted alien with red legs, while I wondered what somebody would think if they came upon you at that moment. And then along came this charming fellow with just the helpful information you need to get where you need to go. The angels really do look after you!
I’m so inspired!! Seeing Africa through your eyes fills me with so much happiness! One day I will go Mama Africa, I have been dreaming of you since I was a child ❤
Angola looks wonderful!
Noraly, you are my Heroine, for sure: Cool under all circumstances, getting along with everybody and keeping the courage. A true adventure traveler, allowing us to travel along and to see all these new places. A big thumbs up and warm hugs from neighbouring Namibia. 🙏🌄🌍🎊💐
A Dutch woman communicating with an African man in Portuguese .. how cool is that. (before all the history teachers come for me, I KNOW history, its just nice to see..)
Impresed by your bravery. Riding on those rough roads
Beautiful world. Gorgeous sunset over a river in Angola. Great video
Thank you for showing us more about Angola and her people. They all seems so nice and welcoming. The country is so vast and fertile. It has a potential to be an African giant
Спасибо за то что вы это делаете, спасибо за русские субтитры. Спасибо что мы можем окунутся в Африку. Спасибо за то что ты в моем сердце ❤
Well done Netherland lady, ur fearless impressed me. Many men fear drive roads where u passin. God is ur strength 🙏🏿
Great to see the kindness of my African people to strangers like Noraly. What an incredible journey.
You should learn, how to behave in lightnings: Lightning loves metal stuff. Put all metal stuff from your body, go away from your motorbike, maybe 20 - 50 meters. Crouch down and put your feet close together and wait, until it's over. Don't go down on your knees. If the lightning strikes in the ground near to you and the ground is wet, the elctricity goes through the ground and arrives first at one leg, than at the other leg and searches its way through your body, if you don't have your feet close together. Try to be smaller than the things around you, so the lightning will strike in there, not in you. If you are in the mountains, avoid ridges or summits. Avoid caves, the electricity can jump over from the ceiling to the ground of the cave and hits you, if you are in. Even huts are not necessarily save, if they don't have a lightning conductor. Leave your tent! Don't fear the thunder, it's harmless, the lighting is not. You'll get wet, but that doesn't matter. If you are in the forest, avoid the highest trees. Avoid single trees in the open field. I survived a horrible lightning at night in the alps at 3000m, while I was alone. Lightnings every 5-10 seconds all around me ... the most horrible night in my life. And I was glad to know, how to behave.
Really good advice. Obviously could not see all, but it looks like most was sheet lightning. Equally intimidating, but not forked lightning. Seeking shelter under trees is usually a major no-no.
good advice thanks boss
Thank you for the advice. I had never heard about some, like keeping the feet together, but it all makes very much sense.
With this much precaution, surviving lightning must be majorly a game of luck. Thanks for sharing anyway.
Wow what a story I'm afraid of thunder and lightning and I'm 60 plus years and through my years I've seen some pretty wicked looking lightning it's funny it just goes everywhere and anywhere there's no prediction whatsoever thanks for the story God bless
My heart sinks when I see you in a vulnerable situation. I always pray that everything good happens so that you keep smiling with faith in life. Go Noraly Go!!!!
Safer on your bike Noraly, the rubber should insulate you. Once you put your stand down, you are creating a path for the lightning to travel. Also, growing up in Africa, we were always told, from my first memory as a small child, never stand under tall trees when there is lightning around.
This is what I was thinking...
I totally agree, i was thinking what is she doing, crazy
I thought it never rained in Africa. Like ever. Bob Geldof taught us that . .
Lightning just traveled through tens of thousands of feet of air and you think 2 inches of muddy rubber is going to insulate you from a strike... It is not rubber tires that save you in a car but the heavy canopy of conductive steel that channels it around you. On a motor bike you have no such thing.
@@Over50YearsOffgrid yes it will, it happened to my father, if it was not for his shoes he would be dead
WOW, to be cold and wet in an Angolan Forest with Lightning all around and still have a smile on your Dial, just extraordinary. Sheer guts to do a trip like this . Safe Travels
Wow wow! What an absolute trooper. How she remains so optimistic and focused is beyond most motorcycle riders.
A real inspiration,
Thanks God For protecting Noraly From day one until today always fresh and Active in her episodes ❤❤❤
Noraly is amazing and an inspirational person. She is full of positivities in any situation. I have never seen her cribbing about anything anywhere. She can easily be considered as global citizen and ambassador. Love & Respect from Delhi, India
She always gets on top of every challenge, never complaining or having the "where I come from" attitude
I’ve thought this many times but never said it. I am thrilled with your channel, BUT I worry that you place yourself in such vulnerable situations. As an 80 year old I can’t help but feel you’re just a kid to me. Love you. 😊
I'm only 75, but she's like a grandchild that I worry for
@@donaldlouwe3939 I don't think the lady was just saying that about her journeys through Africa!
@@donaldlouwe3939straight from the US State Department’s website: “Exercise increased caution in Angola due to crime and health. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.
Violent crime, such as armed robbery, assault, carjacking, and homicide, is common. Local police lack the resources to respond effectively to serious criminal incidents.” Maybe you check your ideology
@@donaldlouwe3939 LOL "racial biases". Sub-Saharan Africa remains a dangerous continent. Yes, there's safe areas, but in general it's far more dangerous than the West or even a good chunk of Asia.
Indeed Noraly is young on years BUT i think she has the wisdom, instinct and judgment amongst many other really cool attributes that serve her so well, also don't forget she has been travelling the world constantly for many years now. I do worry about her occasionally however every single time i do she deals with all situations with consummate confidence combined with care and respect whoever or whatever scenario it may be and I have followed Noraly from very early on. She is so cool 😎. I love her.
She has her Doctorate in motorcycle travel in my book. %100 respect here.
Noraly that was so good.... loved it from beginning to end. Your amazing...be safe, the world needs you.
Wow, the sky after the storm is so beautiful.. I can almoast smell it :)
18:32
Noraly as an old time bike rider I always carried a small polyester tarp (2×3 metres) which is invaluable in that kind of weather. Folds up small & weighs only 500 grams or so.
The advice about moving away from your bike is right & also make yourself as small as possible is also right. The tarp just makes it a bit more bearable than sitting in the downpour & in hot weather provides shade. It is amazing how you manage to put out your excellent videos while enduring the extremes of weather you encounter.
Take care & ride safe from W. Australia. 🌹 👍 😁.
How can someone be this cheerful ,kind and brave
Truly wonderwomen!!
Lots of love and blessings,🕉️ from Varanasi, India🇮🇳
You got it! Look close at the image on Noraly's T-shirt in her season 1 video intro and see if you can identify who. And yes lots of Love and blessings to Noraly is good to give. Peace!
I never seen such brave girl vloogers ❤❤❤ all the best 👍 God bless you and may God protect you from all the devil
I love everything about your travels noraly, I’m from nigeria and I wish you safest trips
Arthouse cinema from the rainforest in Angola! Thank you very much!
Lovely as always. Angola seems super relaxed to travel compared to the other African countries so far. Felt that thunder in my bones through the stereo 10,000 kms northwest of Angola 🤣!
Absolutely got hooked on watching itchy boots. She is quite brave to adventure into the places she’s goes. You Go Girl!!!!!
You such a brave person to be honest travelling alone. Be safe sister and take care.
A beautiful lady in the midlle of a jungle, alone! No fear of wild animals or wild people! Your simplisty is all that this life wants, isn't it wonderful!!. Say hi to anybody, smile to everyone, visit everywhere, sleep anywhere! You're a brave lady Noraly!
The HD Thunder comment, hillarious 😂. When the gentleman at the forest said "Its 1 hour, because the road is good", I honestly expected a tarmarc road. Keep doing what you doing as we keep following you keenly. Thank you for touring us around the world.
wild animals in angola are rare, so rare they import them from other african countries
“Wild people” have shown her nothing but love. Please don’t get too judgemental about my continent.
We were literally holding our breath as you waited out the thunder and lightening!! Wow just wow. We love how youre just, I'll take this little side road off the main dirt road into the forrest, surely it leads to small village... oh nope I'll just stop here in the middle of no where in 360 directional storm.. and without being startled greet a local man who appears out of nowhere with a smile. Absolute legend!! You've inspired so many people, to be adventurous and get their motorcycle licence. Me being one of them!! Thank you so much for sharing with the world 😊
A beautiful lady that dares to travel alone around rural parts of Africa....hats off to you. Living life on the edge and putting human decency to the test. But this is also the reason why I'm now a subscriber and binge watching your old videos. Personally, I had progressively owned Yamaha DR200, Honda XR250 and finally Honda XR400. Loved my XR400 workhorse, rode it for 24yrs and never broke down on me once. Stay safe and consider buddy up for future adventures. 👍
Hi Noraly
You are Braveheart
God Bless you...
Ah Noraly, you never disappoint! Yet another "edge of my seat" edition! Thanks for the ride!
I can't say enough...I love Angola, with it's beautiful pleasant people, beautiful landscape, and the Portuguese accent. I never new they spoke Portuguese in Africa, Love it, thank you Noraly for this wonderful journey through West Africa.
Many countries speak Portuguese in Africa
Only 2 countries
5 countries, not 2 ;)
We thank God that you we’re protected from the thunder in that jungle. The land is beautiful just like Zambia’s. When I was young person I could have walked on that road from Zambia but we never reached Cazombo, which I would like to see how it looks. Thanks a million times for your bravery to show us Angola.
Dear Noraly, first off I'm glad you're alright. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. As a 59 year old man with disabilities due to my extreme sports lifestyle in my youth, i no longer ride bikes. Your videos help me to remember what total freedom is. I can barely drive my car from Los Angeles to San Diego without being sore (150 miles) The people you encounter have mostly been honest, caring people. Where we can't trust our governments, we CAN trust humanity. God Speed Noraly ❣️
Dear Noraly, I was taught not to hide under trees during an severe electrical storm, trees are high points which attract the lightning. Instead find a open spot and make yourself as small as possible. Aside of that I loved the episode. As all of them. 👍👍👍
yeah but there are thousands of trees, whats the chance ? in a open field with just a couple of trees yeah maybe dangerous but not there she had no choice. .
I agree. If you are stuck in bush though then stay away from the tallest trees.
Sometimes you have to stop if the conditions become too wet to see and ride safely. On Tarmac you should be insulated by your wheels and hopefully the strike will hit the trees alongside the road.
If you do feel the charge, maybe your hair standing up in the air, then get as low as you can.
@@stephaniekent8483She left an area of fewer trees (the open road) to be in a wooded area.
Lightning that just jumped across 5000 feet of open air is not going to be insulated against by a half inch of rubber.
@@nickx8411That's what I was thinking. You need something that routes the electricity around you, like being inside of a metal vehicle.
Dang woman. Please be safe as you can. You're an inspiration.
what a Beautiful Journey,,, Thank You for Sharing.
Just wanted to say hello from the 🇬🇧. Me and my boys watch you all the time. Neve 7yrs and seth 5. Your a natural on camera and very calm. Safe travels ..❤ 🇬🇧
Always have a tarp and rope to make a quick shelter to stay dry. Lighting can strike anywhere, even in a little forest. If you can hear thunder, it can get you. Good luck, be safe.
You are traveling alone… but there are so many people that have you in their minds. You’re never alone. Good luck!!
Thats a scary thought lol, for 99 good men, there is probably 1 real bad primitive mindset man with a savage intention.
Wow, you’re very brave! Be safe over there. May God be with you. 🙏🏽

Great channel, thank you.

You are a masterful story teller Itchy.💚
Your touring is such a delight ! You teach so much too - like not being in the open when there is lightening....absolutely the right thing !
The best channel in the internet thank you for sharing your amazing journey God will always keep you safe 👍🙏🏻
You just made me back in time when I was living in Angola and riding the motorcycle through the country. I believe it mus be one of the best places in the world to ride.
You skipped the south of the country this time, but believe me if you loved the northern/tropical part, wait until you ride in the south not only in the desert but inland where you have so many places that will blow your mind away.
I know the region pretty well, I would be glad to give you some tips for places to ride so you can decide.
Ride Safe ✌
You are a true modern day viking zero fear. Lots of respect ❤️
Itchy, worst place to be during a thunderstorm is under trees, they act as conductors and are more likely to get hit, best place to be is in the open away from trees. Stay safe 😊
Well, not exactly so either, because in open, you are the highest point and for that reason likely to get hit. Best place is to be some distance from big trees. So that the tree's take the hit but far enough so that it's not dangerous for you.😅😅
Angola allways had good people. I knew Angola back to 70´s.
This is one brave Angel doing what she's doing. Stay safe and always blessed..🙏😊
Standing under the trees in a lightning storm is not very wise......glad you made it out safely.
Was looking this comment, its weird that noone coment it before.
I was going to write the same 😂 lucky you made it
@@11235but it was still better for her to driver further on the open road, or wait on the open road instead of hiding in the forest :)
@@_DutchFox_ nooooo. She would be the only high point and on a metal machine to attract even more lightning.
@_DutchFox_
No, that would absolutely be the worst thing to do, she did the right thing, stood away from her bike. She is in woods so she is going to be near one of the trees.
iTCHY, don't play with the luck... Take care in all ways!!, not only the climate, but the imply dangers on the road
There is no time to be scared, not on a bike. You did just fine. The thunder and lightening is absolutely beautiful and God like, but deadly. The beautiful deep purples of the flash. Your odds are even, wherever you are in a lightening storm. Keep your body away from the trees during. The trees are a ground strap for the lightening. don't lean on them, just hover underneath. Lightening doesn't care and is not particular. There was some blue in the sky with the other colors after the trees and noise, God giving you a wink saying "you did just fine". Keep riding Noraly, you have more chapters to write. Be careful, trust but verify. Most of the people seem nice.
Hi Noraly.. You continue to demonstrate incredible courage and resilience in every episode. This entire tour is truly remarkable-kudos to you! I've always found it fascinating that portion how you seamlessly immerse viewers by using the caption with helmet camera of front view along soothing background music. It feels as though I'm riding through lush landscapes in bustling weather. -it's fantastic!
Just a heads up for your safety, especially given the recent incident involving a Spanish biker couple at the India border. Please take extra precautions and prioritize your safety.
Keep up the amazing work!
Be safe you are also traveling alone ..i thougt you also heard that news from INDIA SO BE CAER FULL..GOD BLESS YOU..SAVE TRAVELS
