Watching this channel will tell you what humanity is really like. No matter what country you are from people are generally good, help each other and and full of love for their fellow humans. Dont let the media pervert your opinion on humans.
Africa may have bad roads, corruption and other issues, but here you will also find kind, generous and very helpful people, who will step up and help whenever and wherever they can. They are why I live here.
This is true of many 3rd world countries. I've met some of the nicest, kindest and most generous people amongst those that have nothing. On the flip side I've been robbed blind by supposed law enforcement and other officals (where bureaucracy is used a method of extortion) in the same country. The thing is when things do go bad they go very bad. Still I wouldn't change my travels as the good memories outweigh the bad many times over.
You are a superwoman and I must say a superhuman. Wow! I am astonished to see a brave white woman on this trip through this scary route. I'm Ghanaian 🇬🇭 man and I can honestly say I will never in my life do this journey. Not even for a million dollars. I'm so so so super proud of you madam. Bravoooo🎉🎉 🎉.
"Alaska protesting against this abuse", that was so funny! Alaska is such a reliable motorbike. You both have gone through a lot together and have managed to survive many obstacles. There is lots of strength, resilience, and perseverance in your extraordinary team of two! Go Noraly! 💪💪💪
It’s extremely rare for my family to agree on something to watch together, but one thing we do agree on is Itchy Boots. We’re cheering you on during today’s hard ride. Wishing you peace, health, happiness, and epic adventures in 2024. Feliz Navidad, Noraly, from my family to yours🎄
Noraly, as a 74 year old dirt biker that rides Husky and Beta 300s throughout Idaho, I really admire and enjoy your travel adventures. Thank you always, for sharing with us, and stay safe and well amid all the risky encounters.
This is so stressful to watch. I am amazed at how the people of Africa are so helpful. This is very different from the narrative the media around the world projects about the countries in Africa. Your work is touching so many lives. Godspeed.
It seems to me that more often than not Noraly puts her viewers before her own needs/safety in order to keep her content so engaging. The fact that her delivery is in her inimitable style punctuated by a laugh and a smile is a bonus. Much love and respect.
Thank you so much for this particular video. My Dad passed through these roads in the ’70s, the ’80s and ’90s going to Nigeria to buy goods and come sell them in Cameroon just to take care of us. I remember going through that Nigeria/Cameroon border on one of those cars parked at the fuel station. Trust me those cars are the ONLY strong cars that can battle with that road. Your video just brought up so many beautiful childhood memories and made me want to hug my Dad right now. Thank you Itchy, God will continue to Protect you throughout your journey 🙏
american mountains and woods don't have roads either, that is why they use "dirt bike' don't act like people cant search youtube to see american roads in new mexico in places like the lucas canyon trail.
A new definition for bad roads, i will never complain after seeing what to you rode on. Three cheers for the locals who ride daily and help total strangers. Humanity lives on. Great people on both sides of the border.🙏🙏
I always watch some American "off-road" content and the kind of road People take as off-road there is even better standard of a normal road I'm used to here in Africa... I can imagine what you mean for sure
@@ISeeManyTube there's a chance you're looking for a certain kind of tour Rather than just seeing it in eyes of the person doing it. When you travel long distances you'll sometimes cross 500 miles desert where it's only sand and nothing to "see" or do. And there days like this you'll have to battle hundreds of miles of the only border open to get to another place... Unless if you're chasing wildlife and you want to see some specific kind of things you'll definitely have thousands of miles you'll have nothing to "see" to get to what you'd want to see. That's how I see it
As someone who loves riding his motorcycle, I find it more than a little intimidating that I'm practically exhausted just watching Noraly ride these insane roads as covering more than 60kms of this craziness in a single day before starting it all over again in the morning. Though she's been doing this for tens of thousands of kms, the stamina and endurance is still flabbergasting, especially when you consider she still loves doing it.
I'm curious I don't ride bikes but as she was travelling the muddy roads there were 2 bikes in front of her and one bike had 3 people on it yet she was having trouble with her bike with nobbley tryes, how is this?
@@gercoffey9873 No expert but from my travels I have observed that locals who travel these conditions very often don't overthink and their muscle memory controls the movement - slide etc. You may have seen ladies in rural VNM or THA who traverse small paths carrying huge loads on their little 110/125 cc bikes with road tires Or tiny 800cc cars with road tires and six people traversing mountains in IND/PAK in conditions for which people in places like US and Australia people need Hiluxes with knobby tires and 2 inch lifts.
@willryu2773 very true, I don't think any man would show that on UA-cam struggling with there bike like that whiles little Honda 50s leave ya sitting 😆
Even as an African myself, I must say Noraly ist truly courageous. This trip is beautiful but not easy. The roads and at some points security will always be a challenge in most parts of the continent. But it is all inspiring and worth it.
Everytime you're in some kind of trouble some perfect stranger seems to appear out of thin air to help you. You're indeed blessed. Veel succes met al je reizen.
I am constantly impressed with your positive outlook. Many people would gave given up a long time ago. Honestly, you inspire us all to strive for more and to be honest, respectful, and friendly to everyone. I am amazed by every episode.
I feel that Noraly has truly become the Ambassador of Adventure Travel. She always finds a way to succeed. And, her positive outlook is truly an inspiration!
These videos of yours are actual thrillers. I'm exhausted after watching them. Luckily the people are so good and friendly! I wish you a lot of luck and a safe journey there in the land of eternal summer!
Hi I am deeply respectful of your quite incredible journey. I have completed two major journeys over the past 4 years. First was Mumbai to London riding a BMW GS 650 and the second from LA to Santiago Chile during 2023 riding a KTM 790 ADV R. Having watched your vids I wish to suggest the following : 1) install a steering damper on your bike. I have used MSC steering dampers for both journeys and the steering damper saved a lot of potential crashes/drops. MSC is an Australian company and I am sure Vaughan would appreciate helping you. Essentially when riding through sand, rough terrain and high winds just turn the dial and the bike will go where you point it. 2) work on tyre pressure pressure ie lower the tyre pressure in sand and mud. You will have improved traction. I always carry a tyre pump to fix flats and to adjust tyre pressure as required. Best Regards Ian Yates
Hi, thanks but both things are not new to me of course. Steering damper that fitted my bike wasn’t on the market yet and obviously I know what tire pressure does for traction and am carrying a pump for years - I often show it in my videos 😅
Keeep going noraly.. just wanted to tell you that the cops who asked you for money in Nigeria are now stripped of their rank and ultimately lost their job corruption is what we are battling thanks for all you do here… your channel is very famous here in 🇳🇬 keep the videos coming. We love you ❤🎉 and merry Christmas to you ✨✨🎉🎉🍾🎊
Noraly, your journey through the challenging border crossing into Cameroon was truly intense, and I can only imagine the exhaustion you must have felt. Your unwavering courage and determination make you an icon of bravery. It's inspiring to see how you not only navigate these tough situations but also dedicate your precious resting time to share your experiences through videos, keeping us all connected and engaged on this incredible adventure. Your resilience shines through, and we appreciate the effort you put into bringing us along on your remarkable travels.
Noraly you're absolutely nuts but you're also the absolute champion of the global motorcycle community!! What a lady! What a rider! What guts! What resilience!
Wow 😮, as an African watching you going from Nigeria to Cameroon, I felt for you the struggle you went through. I was even worried about you at some point 😢, I pray for you to complete this journey safely if you haven’t already. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Time and time again Noraly shows us the humanity and kindness of strangers. Merry, Merry Itchy Boots!! Thank you for the gifts you give us all year long.
You are one of those few people that actually push these bikes to their limit. You are amazing and your content is pristine. Keep it up and take good care of Alaska :)
That's some tough riding! Especially on a fully-loaded CRF300L Rally. I doubt Honda could have imagined such long trips over such diverse terrain. It really is a testament to the versatility and construction of the bike, and even more so of Noraly's Never give up" attitude. Well done! I've done some long day enduro rides in rain and clay mud and it's EXHAUSTING. The gravity of what you've accomplished and what you create with the videos is truly outstanding on so many levels. Thank you for bringing us along! Ride safe!
Hallo uit Duitsland, Noraly. Ik kijk nu al een paar dagen naar je rondreis door Afrika en ben steeds meer verbaasd over hoe je alles onder de knie hebt. Ik ben ook erg onder de indruk van de vriendelijkheid en behulpzaamheid van de mensen in alle landen. Jullie rondreis is spannender en authentieker dan de documentaires op tv. --- Prettige kerstdagen & pas op jezelf, mooie Noraly
You know what all of these videos remind me of, particularly through the undeveloped areas of Africa and rural Central America? The Oregon Trail. It just makes me imagine what life must have been like slowly trundling along in a wagon loaded with everything you own, across thousands of kilometres of woodland trails and dirt paths, struggling up hills and through mud. It really takes a lot of grit and determination to do this!
Wow! The mud was unreal! I can’t believe how well you made it, especially with the combination of caked up mud and the weight of the mud. I am so glad you had, what seemed to be a fairly good border crossing. And the people are just amazing. Hope you rested well after all that. Merry Christmas Noraly and all 2 million of her subscribers!
I’m so pleased to have discovered your channel. It’s really interesting to see the authentic rural areas but also just how welcoming the locals are. By travelling all this way alone you are so much braver than I could ever be. ❤
@@iluvmoney6767 , a bit crazy, but very, very, brave 😄! I have nothing but respect and admiration for this woman who has shown me the side of my country I have never seen before!
She's so adventurous and unafraid. This is stunning; talk about faith in nature, ONE WORLD and ONE HUMANITY, this is it. Say it from top of the mountains to those who divide us - the WORLD IS ONE ❤
I’m an experienced trail rider and I am impressed with your ability. The roads you are on are really really bad. No fun at all. You are a very good rider. You are a Badass with a big smile.
Another very physically demanding ride ! Looked like Noraly was riding on grease . I can only imagine the exhaustion and relief of having made it and , of course , a sense of accomplishment. Wherever you are on this Christmas eve , merry Christmas 2023 and safe journeys ahead .
Like wow! This would be the most courageous and bravest lady and human for that matter. To take on a journey through forests alone, like wow, that's really cool. I love you ma'am. May Almighty God continue to protect you
I love these episodes, they've become the main conversation topic between me and my African co-workers from Ghana and Cameroon. Getting a lot of inside details on where you're probably going and how bad it really is. They think you're insane, but in a good way. :D We're all cheering you on from back here! Edit - Oh and fijne kerstdagen Noraly!
After all the love, admiration, respect, goodwill and well wishes you've been experiencing since you started your adventure in Africa, you finally smeared everything by destroying the lives of those two indisciplined policemen and making laughing stuck of our beloved country by posting that viral video that has caused them their livelihood as well as those depending on them. Can you imagine gravity of your action, calculated or innocent ? Desperation may lead them to metamorphose into something more sinister and detrimental to the society. I don't condone in form of indisciplined from any security personnel who should know better, but l expect you to be understanding, smarter 9:55 9:55 9:55 and humane even for your safety especially being alone and female. What l want to clarify hear is that misconduct and indisciplined in form corruption is everywhere and not only peculiar to our country alone. Even the Netherlands is no exception nor immune to corruption. As a matter of fact it's one of the most notorious corruption mecca of Europe. The point is that Holland is very wealthy and workers are well paid so petty corruption is almost nonexistent. However, when big capital is involved the whole world is aware the Netherlands is a very fertile group for corruption in high places by the untouchables and a network of very dangerous criminal syndicates Sometimes even protected by the law etc. The biggest port in Europe is situated in Rotherham where % 80 of the illicit narcotics in Europe and many rich countries is transited and distributed ,but only less than %10 is being intercepted with very few foot soldiers arrested. l've lived traveled extensively in Europe and l've seen alot. Each country has its system. In the richest countries it's top level and invisible while in the poor ones it's another ball game altogether. Young lady, have fun but be very careful because l can assure that all eyes are on you now as you're trending while monetizing. Wish happy Christmas and memorable adventure. Always remember that Africa is beautiful, very welcoming, sympathetic and tolerant with strangers regardless of challenges and discrepancies
@@blackmoses3011 ohh shut up.. Nobody said petty corruption is only prevalant in Nigeria or Africa in general. And you just had to try and clap back by trying to pull down her country.. welp.. Hope that rant made you feel a little bit better. Never did she advertise Netherlands, Europe or the developed world in general is perfect.. People are aware of the scandals and the numerous drug syndicates that are operating in Belgium, Netherlands, and the rest of Europe. Now, as for the official in question who was exposed for asking money.. She could've perhaps not revealed the person's identity.. because I do understand there could be potential consequences to that person's future career prospects. Nonetheless.. She just shared her experience.. Good or bad.. She does share her journey of all countries/continents.. whether it's the Americas, Africa or Asia. Keep whining if you're too upset. I'm fairly certain and I know that most of her regular viewers would agree with me here.. That she had no ill will against Nigeria or its people and that she just happened to show us whatever fortunate or unfortunate experiences that she had to deal with. Period.
@blackmoses3011 While it is regretful that this officer lost his job, in the end, he made his own choice. Obviously, people there are underpaid and have to spend all day beside the road, but that doesn't excuse his behaviour.
Thanks Nora for your revelations through this series. I feel very ashamed as an African, seeing the border crossings between African countries. Terrible road networks, yet our politicians do not feel any shame. It is not hard to imagine why inter-African trade is so low. How can commerce flourish between African states with this level of decay. What a disgrace!
@@demophys4883 yes, watching people smiling and waving at a passing motorcyclist was impressive, good to see how friendly most folk are. Sadly everyone only ever remembers the bad few that ruin it for everyone else.
what I have learned mostly from your travels is how good people are out there. there is still so much goodness in the world. the people are so eager to help and are very polite and kind. it gives me hope that was fading about humanity.
That was a tough ride to Cameroon and rain made it all the more dangerous. It was heartwarming to see local people help Noraly when she needed it. Generally people are good and goodness prevails everywhere- This is one of many messages coming out from Itchy Boots Vlogs. Noraly is the champion of universal peace and compassion. Carry on Noraly , it is hugely entertaining , inspiring and informative to ride along you. Ride safe . Merry Christmas to you and your family and your 2 million viewers.
Most of the time in this video you can’t say she was riding on roads. I admire her resilience, she never backed down. I was just relieved that finally it was over. I don’t know the reasons to do this trip in such adverse conditions, but it showed the power of her determination, the kindness of people and that she rides a great bike.
naivety and perhaps even a hint of knowing she's protected by her skintone and nationality........she knows even in these dangerous conditions she will be able to skate by on her privilege. Anyone else would be called an idiot for traversing some of these places on just a bike and thousands of dollars in equipment.
@@dopemcee yup, not politically correct to say it, and I have been dinged for pointing this out in some of her earlier series. But it's an absolute fact, anyone saying otherwise is just not being honest. A black person, from Africa, or a brown man from SE Asia, traversing these same roads, with the same cheery disposition wouldn't stand a chance.
Thanks for showing my beloved country 🇳🇬 Nigeria to the world. Our roads will miss our dear Alaska and of course Noraly😊. Nigeria also has huge community of female bikers, hope you can visit one more time. Nigeria has a lot to offer than just passing through . Bon Voyage in the rest of your adventure ❤
Spent many a day driving across these types of roads back in 97 in an old British 4x4 Bedford ex army truck. Encounter Overland was the expidition company and we drove from Brazzaville in the Congo up into Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Mail, Senegal, Mauritania, West Sahara and finishing in Morocco. Doing it solo on a motorbike is beyond epic.
Obviously a very tough ride today, Noraly. But you always manage a smile and maintain a sense of humour; “ sheep parkour”, hahaha. That was priceless 😀. Glad you made it safely, and with the help of some very nice people. Wonderful to see how generous people can be. Cheers and continue safe riding, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Well that was grueling . Sore muscles ,Alaska groaning carrying a ton of mud and yet here we are getting ready for a relaxing bucket bath and some rest . Nice to see how the people in Cameroon are so welcoming and ready to help . Get some rest and we will see you soon.
Cameroon is one of the most welcoming country in Africa ! They don’t hesitate to help people specially foreigners. Cameroon is also a bilingual country so they can speak English and French.
Hi Noraly, I’m happy to see you ride safely into Cameroon 🇨🇲. I lived in the NW region for 2+ years as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I’m very familiar with your current environment. So cool to see your trip taking place there. Ashia! Those roads are difficult but the people are friendly and kind. They will always help. You will always hear… You are Welcome. We are together. Nous sommes ensemble. The roads have a lot of clay. They are very slippery. Not much can be done about it. Very common across the country. Please enjoy the large skies, rolling hills, big mountains and lush valleys. It is beautiful. Drive carefully in urban environments! There are many skilled moto riders but also some risky car drivers. Not to mention large trucks, heavy lorries, big busses, etc. Ndolé uses “bitterleaf”. You will see other tasty dishes. Have some egg-spaghetti, but don’t leave without njama njama and fufu. Some rice with peanut sauce is great, as well as white yam and haricots (beans) :) tasty. French fries are simply called “irish potatoes”, as opposed to sweet potato. Security-wise, the NW and SW is still unstable. The political conflict has made life very difficult for locals. There are non-government armed forces around. They have their mission. But so do the very large and present armed government forces. Waka fine. Wish you luck on your journey through “Africa in Miniature” and prove yourself une lionesse indomitable. Bonne chance et un joyeux noël.
Ashia, waka fine, we deh together😄Good to hear you had a nice experience in NW and SW of Cameroon. Could be interesting to know what projects you worked on as a PC.
You made me remember the numerous peace corps we had in Cameroon who inspired us in the 80's and 90's. The world can be a better place if we all understand each other.
It's always so lovely to see people helping you to upright your bike and get you moving again. I've experienced this in my travels also. We humans are mostly GOOD! Merry Christmas to all!
It sent chills down my spine ,seeing how tough this track was . Honestly speaking, only a brave woman ,rather a brave human being like you can do it....
As a young boy I read the adventures of Gerald Durrell in Cameroon. It warms my heart to see that the Cameroonians are still the gregarious, kind and engaging people that read about.
You are so brave. I was born in Cross River State in Nigeria. Neighboring state to Cameroon. The terence over there is very challenging. To see you drive your motor bike through those difficult terrain requires a lot of courage. That brings in the conversation about how Africans countries can unite. Can someone imagine how Nigeria and Cameroon government can unite and construct a road through the same road that you took to unite this two countries and bring progress to their citizens and stop fighting. Love from USA 🇺🇸
Good survival instincts when she said she didn't know where she'd sleep. I used to travel across Africa for commodities in my car years ago when I first discovered google maps. People weren't really using it much in Nigeria then in 2012. I would go to places I'd never been to and even go off road for short cuts. Once, I got delayed and was travelling late (or early) in the A.M. Two guys on two bikes drove past me and stopped in front. I parked my car then turned off my lights. It was pitch dark. After some time, they started their bikes and left. They saw I was not going to go forward to them and they probably thought for someone to park and turn of his lights, it's probably not a good idea for them to come to me. Thinking back, I was taking a lot of risks. God really guided and protected me.
That was one hell of a ride and it just got to prove what a great rider you are!!! And we must not forget your most loyal partner, ie Alaska who has been so reliable and being bullet proof not letting you down....you and Alaska are legendary pair!!!
I thought we had the worst roads in Africa until I saw your ordeal in Liberia and now Cameroon. One good thing your West African tour has done -is highlight the state of our road infrastructure. Some Nigerian officials have begun to watch your channel especially after the corrupt police incident. And I am sure they will repair some of these roads.
Africa really needs to hit the jackpot and elect a very good leader whose intention is to help his country and not his pocket. This is really a hit or miss since we don't really know the leader until he is already in office. Most of the time, it is a miss.
@@wavemaker2077Africa is made up of many countries, and 1000s of cultures and languages. Every country need a good leader before you can think of one for the entire continent
It is refreshing to see a woman Customs Agent in Cameroon. The challenges of weather and roads and such continue - but Noraly prevails! Thanks, as always.
Your videos are like watching a suspence thriller, it's like I'm on the journey with you and I always have a smile on my face once I see you safe at your destination. Enjoy the rest of your journey and Merry Xmas from London
You are always so positive, even in the face of serious challenges. I hope the trip through Cameroon, rewards your perseverance. Such lovely people you met on the way. I love the way you don't take change sometimes. Next to nothing to you, but a big difference in the rural economy.
This is a great achievement I love her courage and audacity to explore the most remote area of Nigeria and Cameroon. I love every inch of her exploration journey and discovery. ❤❤❤
I think she needs an award for surviving African roads! It was quit an adventure! And some of the locals were amazing! Who can forget Lawrence in Liberia? He was a hero! ❤🎉
YAY ITCHY BOOTS!! Made it to Camaroon!! Oh man that red mud is still haunting you! But once again the guardian angels showed up!! I know these last few rides have really zapped your energy! And Alaska has really been tormented…she is really tough, but Noraly is tougher!! Both just keep trucking!! Happy to see you are both safe and you got a full belly!! Thanks for sharing another great adventure!! Happy Holidays to you Noraly and hugs and cheers from Texas USA❤❤
For a geologist who has also spent time in Australia, i'm surprised you have never came to be in RED CLAY the most slippery, messy wet soil anywhere. Your studies would have shown that Africa and Australia have many geological similarities as we were once joined. Love your channel have followed you since the original India start. Congratulations for reaching 2mil, you certainly deserve the following. I have much more to say but i'm just a 72 yr old fart from Australia who loves you channel
Noraly has been in mud and slime just as bad as that in previous episodes but we need to understand that she is trying to keep a conversation going while fighting the conditions and making a statement about the mud or conditions is often made to inform new people on the channel of what she s encountering.
I have always enjoyed watching your adventures, Noraly. So far I'm still waiting for the enjoyable part of this season. Wishing you better weather, smoother roads and best of luck.
Wow, what a disastrous road. You really have courage to ride a motorcycle on such a route. It's obvious how difficult it was for you to keep the bike on the track. But you also get a good insight into what it's like in Africa. I wish you every success and a safe, accident-free journey and send you my best wishes from Thuringia in Germany!
In Morocco, roads are very good, the government invested a lot during all these years and is still improving some roads. You can cross nearly all the country using highways or express routes. Off course, in Noraly's series you mainly see off roads 😉
@@jidebolarinwa697 well as are many countries all over the world, what I meant is if you want to go from Tangier to Dakhla it's all paved roads. In the mountains it's more difficult, same for some places in the desert, but I think the logic is to improve access to the big cities first and then work on rural areas.
@@wuhaninstituteofvirology Geographically, historically, culturally, Morocco is a north african country with a mix of amazigh/arabic/sahrawi cultures. What's funny in your comment is that South Spain (or Andalusia) is the one that has Moroccan influences because it was at some point in time part of different moroccan empires (from the Umayadd dynasty ~700AC to the end of the reconquista in 1492AC), so it's the contrary of what you just said. A typical example would be the famous Alhambra in Granada which comes from the arabic word Al Hamra and which has a caracteristic moorish architecture.
As a kid i was riding my dad's Maico. Came over the top of a hill and drove right into a mudbog that swallowed the bike knee deep. The bike killed and i was ten years old. I couldn't kick start it. I sat there for hours in tears waiting for the trail patrol to rescue me. Finally showed up near dark. Took them another half hour to dig out my bike. This episode is giving me flashbacks!😂 I feel your pain Noraly!😢
Those muddy roads have got to play havoc on the clutch wear and tear. With your extra baggage on board, you may as well have a passenger with you weightwise. The people are friendly and helpful pretty much everywhere you travel. Ride safely Noraly.👍👍🇨🇦
What a perilous journey but the rider’s courage, determination, and perseverance through it all made everything worthwhile at the end of the day. I was glued to my phone screen the whole time. Bravo!
Thank you for showing us this part of the country how large the Northern part really is. Super lovely, I'm a proud Nigerian no matter what it is pie country holds a lot. We are great people. And we love you for this, although make sure to support Nigeria because we support you.
Noraly you’re legend a pioneer woman that never never gives up at the most extreme toughest weather conditions bravo to your determination and endurance 👏🏻🙏🇨🇦
Your passion and dedication to travel surpasses every adverse factor. Amidst all the difficulties, you manage all the situations comfortably. Great you are, goodluck for your ride in Cameroon.
It's good to see Nigeria hasn't Changed much, in the 48 years since I lived there. The People can be Wonderful and Extreme at the same time, a MagicPlace!
One thing I've learned from watching all your travels, especially in Africa, when on the road, people look out for each other, I love it! Safe travels Noraly

Watching this channel will tell you what humanity is really like. No matter what country you are from people are generally good, help each other and and full of love for their fellow humans. Dont let the media pervert your opinion on humans.
Agreed. Especially here in Africa.

I agree with YOU, LOVE HUMANITY 👌👍💯💚
Africa may have bad roads, corruption and other issues, but here you will also find kind, generous and very helpful people, who will step up and help whenever and wherever they can. They are why I live here.
Also find corruption within law enforcement and government
In kenya we don't have such pathetic roads but corruption is thrive but not like Nigeria
This is true of many 3rd world countries. I've met some of the nicest, kindest and most generous people amongst those that have nothing. On the flip side I've been robbed blind by supposed law enforcement and other officals (where bureaucracy is used a method of extortion) in the same country.
The thing is when things do go bad they go very bad. Still I wouldn't change my travels as the good memories outweigh the bad many times over.
I am constantly amazed by the kindness, wish we had that in Australia, Africa seems more about people and community.
Kind people are everywhere not just Africa. Human beings generally have the tendency to help others.
You are a superwoman and I must say a superhuman. Wow! I am astonished to see a brave white woman on this trip through this scary route. I'm Ghanaian 🇬🇭 man and I can honestly say I will never in my life do this journey. Not even for a million dollars. I'm so so so super proud of you madam. Bravoooo🎉🎉 🎉.
Thats true...
"Alaska protesting against this abuse", that was so funny!
Alaska is such a reliable motorbike. You both have gone through a lot together and have managed to survive many obstacles.
There is lots of strength, resilience, and perseverance in your extraordinary team of two! Go Noraly! 💪💪💪
It’s extremely rare for my family to agree on something to watch together, but one thing we do agree on is Itchy Boots. We’re cheering you on during today’s hard ride. Wishing you peace, health, happiness, and epic adventures in 2024. Feliz Navidad, Noraly, from my family to yours🎄
Noraly, as a 74 year old dirt biker that rides Husky and Beta 300s throughout Idaho, I really admire and enjoy your travel adventures.
Thank you always, for sharing with us, and stay safe and well amid all the risky encounters.
This is so stressful to watch. I am amazed at how the people of Africa are so helpful. This is very different from the narrative the media around the world projects about the countries in Africa. Your work is touching so many lives. Godspeed.
That is our culture in Africa we love to help one another. That is the love of God
Also, this isn’t the main route from Nigeria to Cameroon.
There are very good roads.
I think she chose this part for adventure sake.
@@enixword2637 she said this was the only available path due to the unrest currently going on in Cameroon

As a old man who rides a Harley, I love watching your adventures. Ride safe & be well. Respect from 🇨🇦
The people you come in contact with are so nice and helpful. You are lucky, the world is lucky to have such nice people living in it.
It seems to me that more often than not Noraly puts her viewers before her own needs/safety in order to keep her content so engaging. The fact that her delivery is in her inimitable style punctuated by a laugh and a smile is a bonus. Much love and respect.
Thank you so much for this particular video. My Dad passed through these roads in the ’70s, the ’80s and ’90s going to Nigeria to buy goods and come sell them in Cameroon just to take care of us. I remember going through that Nigeria/Cameroon border on one of those cars parked at the fuel station. Trust me those cars are the ONLY strong cars that can battle with that road. Your video just brought up so many beautiful childhood memories and made me want to hug my Dad right now.
Thank you Itchy, God will continue to Protect you throughout your journey 🙏
After watching your channel for a couple of years, as an American, my definition of "bad roads" has significantly shifted!
american mountains and woods don't have roads either, that is why they use "dirt bike' don't act like people cant search youtube to see american roads in new mexico in places like the lucas canyon trail.
Americans usually don't realise how their infrastructure is actually great for such a vast country.
Truth
Yeah , if I was going from one country to the another,...and that was the road ? I would wonder. Clearly not a lot of trucks on THAT border.
@@rockinrodlittle Nothing truth about it there are thousands of dit roads in america
A new definition for bad roads, i will never complain after seeing what to you rode on. Three cheers for the locals who ride daily and help total strangers. Humanity lives on. Great people on both sides of the border.🙏🙏
I have seen all the seasons of Itchy and it never ceases to amaze me how she struggles with the motorcycle on these slippery or unkept roads.
She could have taken alternative routes, but they pass through densely populated areas and would have taken much longer to navigate.
It’s crazy to imagine your courage in this series! Extremely motivating to see you overcome the obstacles that this series has thrown at you!
I always watch some American "off-road" content and the kind of road People take as off-road there is even better standard of a normal road I'm used to here in Africa... I can imagine what you mean for sure
@@ISeeManyTube there's a chance you're looking for a certain kind of tour Rather than just seeing it in eyes of the person doing it.
When you travel long distances you'll sometimes cross 500 miles desert where it's only sand and nothing to "see" or do.
And there days like this you'll have to battle hundreds of miles of the only border open to get to another place...
Unless if you're chasing wildlife and you want to see some specific kind of things you'll definitely have thousands of miles you'll have nothing to "see" to get to what you'd want to see.
That's how I see it
🎉 Congratulations ma. You are super great ❤
As someone who loves riding his motorcycle, I find it more than a little intimidating that I'm practically exhausted just watching Noraly ride these insane roads as covering more than 60kms of this craziness in a single day before starting it all over again in the morning. Though she's been doing this for tens of thousands of kms, the stamina and endurance is still flabbergasting, especially when you consider she still loves doing it.
I'm curious I don't ride bikes but as she was travelling the muddy roads there were 2 bikes in front of her and one bike had 3 people on it yet she was having trouble with her bike with nobbley tryes, how is this?
I don`t think she would do this if she didn`t LOVE it!
@@gercoffey9873 No expert but from my travels I have observed that locals who travel these conditions very often don't overthink and their muscle memory controls the movement - slide etc. You may have seen ladies in rural VNM or THA who traverse small paths carrying huge loads on their little 110/125 cc bikes with road tires Or tiny 800cc cars with road tires and six people traversing mountains in IND/PAK in conditions for which people in places like US and Australia people need Hiluxes with knobby tires and 2 inch lifts.
@willryu2773 very true, I don't think any man would show that on UA-cam struggling with there bike like that whiles little Honda 50s leave ya sitting 😆
You are such a courageous lady. Keep it up.
Finally you're out, big kudos to you
Nigerians loves you ♥️
Even as an African myself, I must say Noraly ist truly courageous. This trip is beautiful but not easy. The roads and at some points security will always be a challenge in most parts of the continent. But it is all inspiring and worth it.
Everytime you're in some kind of trouble some perfect stranger seems to appear out of thin air to help you. You're indeed blessed. Veel succes met al je reizen.
its african thing to help actually. Big ups to Noraly also
I noticed the same thing. Some people have that knack of falling into a shit-hole & coming out smelling like a rose.
You, Noraly. . . Blow me away. HUMANITY, Noraly, COMPASSION, Noraly, ADVENTURE, Noraly. Incredible!
I am constantly impressed with your positive outlook. Many people would gave given up a long time ago. Honestly, you inspire us all to strive for more and to be honest, respectful, and friendly to everyone. I am amazed by every episode.
I feel that Noraly has truly become the Ambassador of Adventure Travel. She always finds a way to succeed. And, her positive outlook is truly an inspiration!
This road makes the Baja Rally look like a cakewalk!Your skill has grown a lot!
These videos of yours are actual thrillers. I'm exhausted after watching them. Luckily the people are so good and friendly! I wish you a lot of luck and a safe journey there in the land of eternal summer!
Hi I am deeply respectful of your quite incredible journey. I have completed two major journeys over the past 4 years. First was Mumbai to London riding a BMW GS 650 and the second from LA to Santiago Chile during 2023 riding a KTM 790 ADV R. Having watched your vids I wish to suggest the following :
1) install a steering damper on your bike. I have used MSC steering dampers for both journeys and the steering damper saved a lot of potential crashes/drops. MSC is an Australian company and I am sure Vaughan would appreciate helping you. Essentially when riding through sand, rough terrain and high winds just turn the dial and the bike will go where you point it.
2) work on tyre pressure pressure ie lower the tyre pressure in sand and mud. You will have improved traction. I always carry a tyre pump to fix flats and to adjust tyre pressure as required.
Best Regards
Ian Yates
Hi, thanks but both things are not new to me of course. Steering damper that fitted my bike wasn’t on the market yet and obviously I know what tire pressure does for traction and am carrying a pump for years - I often show it in my videos 😅
Keeep going noraly.. just wanted to tell you that the cops who asked you for money in Nigeria are now stripped of their rank and ultimately lost their job corruption is what we are battling thanks for all you do here… your channel is very famous here in 🇳🇬 keep the videos coming. We love you ❤🎉 and merry Christmas to you ✨✨🎉🎉🍾🎊
Don't you think by now that she would know about the two police officers being fired.
Seriously? Wow, good job!
Thank you for the update!
What about the people that stole her camera?
@@rogerkim1910The cops? They gave it back after checking what she'd been photographing.
I didn't know so I appreciate the information.@@fresh-eggs
Noraly, your journey through the challenging border crossing into Cameroon was truly intense, and I can only imagine the exhaustion you must have felt. Your unwavering courage and determination make you an icon of bravery. It's inspiring to see how you not only navigate these tough situations but also dedicate your precious resting time to share your experiences through videos, keeping us all connected and engaged on this incredible adventure.
Your resilience shines through, and we appreciate the effort you put into bringing us along on your remarkable travels.
I'd much rather go thru her border crossing difficulties than navigating Walmart in Florida on a Saturday morning
Why she is choosing small boarder posts. there are good roads and well established border posts there
@@trymoremafuchadhliwayo9304 Previous episode she said that this was the only crossing open to foreign travelers.
Noraly you're absolutely nuts but you're also the absolute champion of the global motorcycle community!! What a lady! What a rider! What guts! What resilience!
Wow 😮, as an African watching you going from Nigeria to Cameroon, I felt for you the struggle you went through. I was even worried about you at some point 😢, I pray for you to complete this journey safely if you haven’t already. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Time and time again Noraly shows us the humanity and kindness of strangers. Merry, Merry Itchy Boots!! Thank you for the gifts you give us all year long.
You are one of those few people that actually push these bikes to their limit. You are amazing and your content is pristine. Keep it up and take good care of Alaska :)
As a Camero-Nigerian, I am happy to hear you say, "everybody was like yeah." That's a very warm welcome. All the best!
That's some tough riding! Especially on a fully-loaded CRF300L Rally. I doubt Honda could have imagined such long trips over such diverse terrain. It really is a testament to the versatility and construction of the bike, and even more so of Noraly's Never give up" attitude. Well done! I've done some long day enduro rides in rain and clay mud and it's EXHAUSTING. The gravity of what you've accomplished and what you create with the videos is truly outstanding on so many levels. Thank you for bringing us along! Ride safe!
Hallo uit Duitsland, Noraly. Ik kijk nu al een paar dagen naar je rondreis door Afrika en ben steeds meer verbaasd over hoe je alles onder de knie hebt. Ik ben ook erg onder de indruk van de vriendelijkheid en behulpzaamheid van de mensen in alle landen. Jullie rondreis is spannender en authentieker dan de documentaires op tv. --- Prettige kerstdagen & pas op jezelf, mooie Noraly
You know what all of these videos remind me of, particularly through the undeveloped areas of Africa and rural Central America?
The Oregon Trail. It just makes me imagine what life must have been like slowly trundling along in a wagon loaded with everything you own, across thousands of kilometres of woodland trails and dirt paths, struggling up hills and through mud. It really takes a lot of grit and determination to do this!
Wow! The mud was unreal! I can’t believe how well you made it, especially with the combination of caked up mud and the weight of the mud. I am so glad you had, what seemed to be a fairly good border crossing. And the people are just amazing. Hope you rested well after all that. Merry Christmas Noraly and all 2 million of her subscribers!
Merry Christmas to you as well Debbie!
I’m so pleased to have discovered your channel. It’s really interesting to see the authentic rural areas but also just how welcoming the locals are. By travelling all this way alone you are so much braver than I could ever be. ❤
Braver or reckless?
@@iluvmoney6767 Brave!
@@iluvmoney6767 , a bit crazy, but very, very, brave 😄! I have nothing but respect and admiration for this woman who has shown me the side of my country I have never seen before!
@@brigadierwilliamwildebeest1112 Brave and stupid are NOT the same thing.
RIGHT VERY BRAVE KNOW WHAT I WAS FEARING A FRICKEN LION PLZ BE SAFE
So brave but what really warms my my heart is the incredible kindness of people.
As a native born African, I won't travel like you do and so I do admire you going through all these hassles, good adventure.
Number one rule for crossing rivers, always walk it to find the best route. But awesome video, as always.
She's so adventurous and unafraid. This is stunning; talk about faith in nature, ONE WORLD and ONE HUMANITY, this is it. Say it from top of the mountains to those who divide us - the WORLD IS ONE ❤
I’m an experienced trail rider and I am impressed with your ability. The roads you are on are really really bad. No fun at all. You are a very good rider. You are a Badass with a big smile.
Love Africa and the people. Thank you for showcasing the culture and experience.
Another very physically demanding ride ! Looked like Noraly was riding on grease . I can only imagine the exhaustion and relief of having made it and , of course , a sense of accomplishment.
Wherever you are on this Christmas eve , merry Christmas 2023 and safe journeys ahead .
Like wow! This would be the most courageous and bravest lady and human for that matter. To take on a journey through forests alone, like wow, that's really cool. I love you ma'am. May Almighty God continue to protect you
Noraly is truly a brave heart that thankfully shares with the world.
I love these episodes, they've become the main conversation topic between me and my African co-workers from Ghana and Cameroon. Getting a lot of inside details on where you're probably going and how bad it really is. They think you're insane, but in a good way. :D We're all cheering you on from back here! Edit - Oh and fijne kerstdagen Noraly!
After all the love, admiration, respect, goodwill and well wishes you've been experiencing since you started your adventure in Africa, you finally smeared everything by destroying the lives of those two indisciplined policemen and making laughing stuck of our beloved country by posting that viral video that has caused them their livelihood as well as those depending on them. Can you imagine gravity of your action, calculated or innocent ?
Desperation may lead them to metamorphose into something more sinister and detrimental to the society. I don't condone in form of indisciplined from any security personnel who should know better, but l expect you to be understanding, smarter 9:55 9:55 9:55 and humane even for your safety especially being alone and female. What l want to clarify hear is that misconduct and indisciplined in form corruption is everywhere and not only peculiar to our country alone. Even the Netherlands is no exception nor immune to corruption. As a matter of fact it's one of the most notorious corruption mecca of Europe. The point is that Holland is very wealthy and workers are well paid so petty corruption is almost nonexistent. However, when big capital is involved the whole world is aware the Netherlands is a very fertile group for corruption in high places by the untouchables and a network of very dangerous criminal syndicates
Sometimes even protected by the law etc. The biggest port in Europe is situated in Rotherham where % 80 of the illicit narcotics in Europe and many rich countries is transited and distributed ,but only less than %10 is being intercepted with very few foot soldiers arrested. l've lived traveled extensively in Europe and l've seen alot. Each country has its system. In the richest countries it's top level and invisible while in the poor ones it's another ball game altogether. Young lady, have fun but be very careful because l can assure that all eyes are on you now as you're trending while monetizing. Wish happy Christmas and memorable adventure. Always remember that Africa is beautiful, very welcoming, sympathetic and tolerant with strangers regardless of challenges and discrepancies
she is exlamation etc wonderfull happy soul
I just found the channel. I agree - Insane but wow!!
@@blackmoses3011 ohh shut up.. Nobody said petty corruption is only prevalant in Nigeria or Africa in general. And you just had to try and clap back by trying to pull down her country.. welp.. Hope that rant made you feel a little bit better. Never did she advertise Netherlands, Europe or the developed world in general is perfect.. People are aware of the scandals and the numerous drug syndicates that are operating in Belgium, Netherlands, and the rest of Europe. Now, as for the official in question who was exposed for asking money.. She could've perhaps not revealed the person's identity.. because I do understand there could be potential consequences to that person's future career prospects. Nonetheless.. She just shared her experience.. Good or bad.. She does share her journey of all countries/continents.. whether it's the Americas, Africa or Asia. Keep whining if you're too upset. I'm fairly certain and I know that most of her regular viewers would agree with me here.. That she had no ill will against Nigeria or its people and that she just happened to show us whatever fortunate or unfortunate experiences that she had to deal with. Period.
@blackmoses3011 While it is regretful that this officer lost his job, in the end, he made his own choice. Obviously, people there are underpaid and have to spend all day beside the road, but that doesn't excuse his behaviour.
Great stuff as ever Noraly, another great year of Itchy adventures, thank you!
Great to see you here!!
@@lucindavillarreal2676 I'm here often!
Safe travels! As a Nigerian I was worried about you for a bit. Thank you for showcasing the side to Africa we rarely see❤❤
Your country is beautiful! :) Best from EU!
Thanks Nora for your revelations through this series. I feel very ashamed as an African, seeing the border crossings between African countries. Terrible road networks, yet our politicians do not feel any shame. It is not hard to imagine why inter-African trade is so low. How can commerce flourish between African states with this level of decay. What a disgrace!
Politicians feel no shame because they are too busy stealing the money for infrastructure. We have the same problem here in America.
I do not think you should feel ashamed, but instead proud when you see African men and women being so helpful to a stranger passing through.
Please work towards improving your country....... running away and being ashamed changes nothing 😔
Yes don't feel ashamed! Just put those responsible government people in jail, who let you live that way, with streets like that!
@@demophys4883 yes, watching people smiling and waving at a passing motorcyclist was impressive, good to see how friendly most folk are. Sadly everyone only ever remembers the bad few that ruin it for everyone else.
what I have learned mostly from your travels is how good people are out there. there is still so much goodness in the world. the people are so eager to help and are very polite and kind. it gives me hope that was fading about humanity.
Obviously … the others did not have the chance to post more clips as they were killed by those not so kind!
That was a tough ride to Cameroon and rain made it all the more dangerous. It was heartwarming to see local people help Noraly when she needed it. Generally people are good and goodness prevails everywhere- This is one of many messages coming out from Itchy Boots Vlogs. Noraly is the champion of universal peace and compassion. Carry on Noraly , it is hugely entertaining , inspiring and informative to ride along you. Ride safe . Merry Christmas to you and your family and your 2 million viewers.
🤍🤍
Dapper, dapper meissie.... alle respect voor je. Dank je voor al deze schitterende beelden.
Most of the time in this video you can’t say she was riding on roads. I admire her resilience, she never backed down. I was just relieved that finally it was over. I don’t know the reasons to do this trip in such adverse conditions, but it showed the power of her determination, the kindness of people and that she rides a great bike.
That's what adventure looks and feels like
naivety and perhaps even a hint of knowing she's protected by her skintone and nationality........she knows even in these dangerous conditions she will be able to skate by on her privilege. Anyone else would be called an idiot for traversing some of these places on just a bike and thousands of dollars in equipment.
Skintone and her nationality are certainly formidable security anywhere in Africa, except perhaps South Africa@@dopemcee
@@dopemcee yup, not politically correct to say it, and I have been dinged for pointing this out in some of her earlier series. But it's an absolute fact, anyone saying otherwise is just not being honest. A black person, from Africa, or a brown man from SE Asia, traversing these same roads, with the same cheery disposition wouldn't stand a chance.
@@shubs3566 An African taking such a trip for the sake of adventure is a ridiculous notion. What you're implying makes no sense.
Beforehand 😍 Thank you so much!Noraly🏍️🇳🇱for every video of 2023. They were awesome 😎 some with drama,some with danger but most of all you're safe.❤
Thanks for showing my beloved country 🇳🇬 Nigeria to the world. Our roads will miss our dear Alaska and of course Noraly😊. Nigeria also has huge community of female bikers, hope you can visit one more time. Nigeria has a lot to offer than just passing through . Bon Voyage in the rest of your adventure ❤
Spent many a day driving across these types of roads back in 97 in an old British 4x4 Bedford ex army truck. Encounter Overland was the expidition company and we drove from Brazzaville in the Congo up into Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Mail, Senegal, Mauritania, West Sahara and finishing in Morocco. Doing it solo on a motorbike is beyond epic.
Obviously a very tough ride today, Noraly. But you always manage a smile and maintain a sense of humour; “ sheep parkour”, hahaha. That was priceless 😀. Glad you made it safely, and with the help of some very nice people. Wonderful to see how generous people can be. Cheers and continue safe riding, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Right? Sheep parkour made me laugh, too. 😄
Well that was grueling . Sore muscles ,Alaska groaning carrying a ton of mud and yet here we are getting ready for a relaxing bucket bath and some rest . Nice to see how the people in Cameroon are so welcoming and ready to help . Get some rest and we will see you soon.
Cameroon is one of the most welcoming country in Africa ! They don’t hesitate to help people specially foreigners. Cameroon is also a bilingual country so they can speak English and French.
She's in the west. That's why they speak English. It's a small minority
@@okene no she’s in northern Cameroon. And also francophones in Cameroon speak English ( not all of them but a majority can speak English )
@@ikudaisi3852 you're right, she's in the North👍
People I know from Cameroon call it plain stupid as its damn dangerous … some good people do not compensate you being dead!
On behalf of ministry of roadways and transport, thank us for keeping our roads raw
persistency personified. Her courage is in another level
Hi Noraly,
I’m happy to see you ride safely into Cameroon 🇨🇲. I lived in the NW region for 2+ years as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I’m very familiar with your current environment. So cool to see your trip taking place there.
Ashia! Those roads are difficult but the people are friendly and kind. They will always help. You will always hear… You are Welcome. We are together. Nous sommes ensemble.
The roads have a lot of clay. They are very slippery. Not much can be done about it. Very common across the country. Please enjoy the large skies, rolling hills, big mountains and lush valleys. It is beautiful.
Drive carefully in urban environments! There are many skilled moto riders but also some risky car drivers. Not to mention large trucks, heavy lorries, big busses, etc.
Ndolé uses “bitterleaf”. You will see other tasty dishes. Have some egg-spaghetti, but don’t leave without njama njama and fufu. Some rice with peanut sauce is great, as well as white yam and haricots (beans) :) tasty. French fries are simply called “irish potatoes”, as opposed to sweet potato.
Security-wise, the NW and SW is still unstable. The political conflict has made life very difficult for locals. There are non-government armed forces around. They have their mission. But so do the very large and present armed government forces.
Waka fine. Wish you luck on your journey through “Africa in Miniature” and prove yourself une lionesse indomitable. Bonne chance et un joyeux noël.
Can you help me volunteer as a peace corp member in cameroun. I am British Citizen living in UK now and am also Nigerian.
Ashia, waka fine, we deh together😄Good to hear you had a nice experience in NW and SW of Cameroon. Could be interesting to know what projects you worked on as a PC.
2 egg spaghetti 😅
You made me remember the numerous peace corps we had in Cameroon who inspired us in the 80's and 90's. The world can be a better place if we all understand each other.
It's always so lovely to see people helping you to upright your bike and get you moving again. I've experienced this in my travels also. We humans are mostly GOOD! Merry Christmas to all!
It sent chills down my spine ,seeing how tough this track was . Honestly speaking, only a brave woman ,rather a brave human being like you can do it....
As a young boy I read the adventures of Gerald Durrell in Cameroon. It warms my heart to see that the Cameroonians are still the gregarious, kind and engaging people that read about.
Perhaps she can visit Bafut, and even meet a Fon!
Your stamina is amazing. How you manage to keep going is something beyond beautiful!
You are so brave. I was born in Cross River State in Nigeria. Neighboring state to Cameroon. The terence over there is very challenging. To see you drive your motor bike through those difficult terrain requires a lot of courage. That brings in the conversation about how Africans countries can unite. Can someone imagine how Nigeria and Cameroon government can unite and construct a road through the same road that you took to unite this two countries and bring progress to their citizens and stop fighting. Love from USA 🇺🇸
She drove from taraba to Cameroon not from cross river. Her reason was because of ipob issue and the a tèrror group in the other side of Cameroon too.
Good survival instincts when she said she didn't know where she'd sleep. I used to travel across Africa for commodities in my car years ago when I first discovered google maps. People weren't really using it much in Nigeria then in 2012. I would go to places I'd never been to and even go off road for short cuts. Once, I got delayed and was travelling late (or early) in the A.M. Two guys on two bikes drove past me and stopped in front. I parked my car then turned off my lights. It was pitch dark. After some time, they started their bikes and left. They saw I was not going to go forward to them and they probably thought for someone to park and turn of his lights, it's probably not a good idea for them to come to me. Thinking back, I was taking a lot of risks. God really guided and protected me.
Yeah, Itchy Boots doesn't go out at night.
That was one hell of a ride and it just got to prove what a great rider you are!!! And we must not forget your most loyal partner, ie Alaska who has been so reliable and being bullet proof not letting you down....you and Alaska are legendary pair!!!
You're an incredible bike rider , negotiating those roads like a boss . Well done . Happy Christmas .
Merry Christmas to all
I don't think she is a wonderful biker. Struggled in most circumstances in contrast of the local who handle the suitation better
I thought we had the worst roads in Africa until I saw your ordeal in Liberia and now Cameroon. One good thing your West African tour has done -is highlight the state of our road infrastructure. Some Nigerian officials have begun to
watch your channel especially after the corrupt police incident. And I am sure they will
repair some of these roads.
I hope so, Nigeria is an oil country of huge wealth, some of that oil money should go towards creating a good road network.
I doubt it. But hey, one can hope right?...
Africa really needs to hit the jackpot and elect a very good leader whose intention is to help his country and not his pocket. This is really a hit or miss since we don't really know the leader until he is already in office. Most of the time, it is a miss.
@@wavemaker2077Africa is made up of many countries, and 1000s of cultures and languages. Every country need a good leader before you can think of one for the entire continent
Interestingly not mentioned in non female biker adventures!
This is the greatest adventure that I've seen in a long .
Keep'm coming. Thanks.
It is refreshing to see a woman Customs Agent in Cameroon. The challenges of weather and roads and such continue - but Noraly prevails! Thanks, as always.
Attractive looking woman too.
Your videos are like watching a suspence thriller, it's like I'm on the journey with you and I always have a smile on my face once I see you safe at your destination. Enjoy the rest of your journey and Merry Xmas from London
You are always so positive, even in the face of serious challenges. I hope the trip through Cameroon, rewards your perseverance. Such lovely people you met on the way. I love the way you don't take change sometimes. Next to nothing to you, but a big difference in the rural economy.
This is a great achievement I love her courage and audacity to explore the most remote area of Nigeria and Cameroon. I love every inch of her exploration journey and discovery. ❤❤❤
We love you Noraly. I'm glad you have considered East Africa. Much Love from KENYA 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Thanks Noraly, your videos just get better and better. I am loving every one and wait anxiously for the next episode. Please keep them coming.
Comment fais tu pour toujours garder le sourire ! Tu es incroyable Noraly et quel courage tu as , bravo ! 👍✌️
I think she needs an award for surviving African roads! It was quit an adventure! And some of the locals were amazing! Who can forget Lawrence in Liberia? He was a hero! ❤🎉
The landscapes throughout were so beautiful.😍😍
YAY ITCHY BOOTS!! Made it to Camaroon!! Oh man that red mud is still haunting you! But once again the guardian angels showed up!! I know these last few rides have really zapped your energy! And Alaska has really been tormented…she is really tough, but Noraly is tougher!! Both just keep trucking!! Happy to see you are both safe and you got a full belly!! Thanks for sharing another great adventure!! Happy Holidays to you Noraly and hugs and cheers from Texas USA❤❤
For a geologist who has also spent time in Australia, i'm surprised you have never came to be in RED CLAY the most slippery, messy wet soil anywhere. Your studies would have shown that Africa and Australia have many geological similarities as we were once joined. Love your channel have followed you since the original India start. Congratulations for reaching 2mil, you certainly deserve the following. I have much more to say but i'm just a 72 yr old fart from Australia who loves you channel
I'm from India. Red earth has been used for construction here for centuries. Many old buildings surviving for hundreds of years.
It's so sticky
I thought the exact same thing but I'm a 68 year old fart
Tanah merah memang susah 😂
Noraly has been in mud and slime just as bad as that in previous episodes but we need to understand that she is trying to keep a conversation going while fighting the conditions and making a statement about the mud or conditions is often made to inform new people on the channel of what she s encountering.
And me too! From Washington State at 73!
This is really beautiful, I know you had the best time of your life with this experience, thank you for passing by 🇳🇬 (Nigeria) we love you
I have always enjoyed watching your adventures, Noraly. So far I'm still waiting for the enjoyable part of this season. Wishing you better weather, smoother roads and best of luck.
You are such an inspiration to your generation. I like your kindness to people you meet. Keep pushing. much love❤
Noraly, so happy you made it through to Cameroon. Such awful roads. Rest those muscles. Merry Christmas! 😊❤
You're a brave sweetheart Noraly! Nice to see people beeing kind,and helping you when needed! Be safe ,and Thank You!
Wow, what a disastrous road. You really have courage to ride a motorcycle on such a route. It's obvious how difficult it was for you to keep the bike on the track. But you also get a good insight into what it's like in Africa. I wish you every success and a safe, accident-free journey and send you my best wishes from Thuringia in Germany!
I pray that ALL of Africa finally gets Governments that put roads in for all people. The roads are shameful and terrifying
In Morocco, roads are very good, the government invested a lot during all these years and is still improving some roads. You can cross nearly all the country using highways or express routes. Off course, in Noraly's series you mainly see off roads 😉
@@Izemrasen.(morocco is barely africa, more like southern spain
@@Izemrasen. morocco has many desert unpaved roads
@@jidebolarinwa697 well as are many countries all over the world, what I meant is if you want to go from Tangier to Dakhla it's all paved roads. In the mountains it's more difficult, same for some places in the desert, but I think the logic is to improve access to the big cities first and then work on rural areas.
@@wuhaninstituteofvirology Geographically, historically, culturally, Morocco is a north african country with a mix of amazigh/arabic/sahrawi cultures. What's funny in your comment is that South Spain (or Andalusia) is the one that has Moroccan influences because it was at some point in time part of different moroccan empires (from the Umayadd dynasty ~700AC to the end of the reconquista in 1492AC), so it's the contrary of what you just said. A typical example would be the famous Alhambra in Granada which comes from the arabic word Al Hamra and which has a caracteristic moorish architecture.
As a kid i was riding my dad's Maico. Came over the top of a hill and drove right into a mudbog that swallowed the bike knee deep. The bike killed and i was ten years old. I couldn't kick start it. I sat there for hours in tears waiting for the trail patrol to rescue me. Finally showed up near dark. Took them another half hour to dig out my bike. This episode is giving me flashbacks!😂 I feel your pain Noraly!😢
You are truly a living legend. I am honoured to witness one. Thank you.
Those muddy roads have got to play havoc on the clutch wear and tear. With your extra baggage on board, you may as well have a passenger with you weightwise. The people are friendly and helpful pretty much everywhere you travel. Ride safely Noraly.👍👍🇨🇦
What a perilous journey but the rider’s courage, determination, and perseverance through it all made everything worthwhile at the end of the day. I was glued to my phone screen the whole time. Bravo!
Kudos to you noraly.... Your courage is contagious.
Thank you for showing me the Nigeria 🇳🇬 I have never seen.
Blessed.
Thank you for showing us this part of the country how large the Northern part really is. Super lovely, I'm a proud Nigerian no matter what it is pie country holds a lot. We are great people. And we love you for this, although make sure to support Nigeria because we support you.
Noraly you’re legend a pioneer woman that never never gives up at the most extreme toughest weather conditions bravo to your determination and endurance 👏🏻🙏🇨🇦
Your passion and dedication to travel surpasses every adverse factor. Amidst all the difficulties, you manage all the situations comfortably. Great you are, goodluck for your ride in Cameroon.
It's good to see Nigeria hasn't Changed much, in the 48 years since I lived there. The People can be Wonderful and Extreme at the same time, a MagicPlace!
One thing I've learned from watching all your travels, especially in Africa, when on the road, people look out for each other, I love it! Safe travels Noraly
