I think Lucas wanted a goodbye hug.
It was awkward there 😅
I really need to say, you are very, very brave. Crossing so many borders, alone, in territories considered globally dangerous is not for everyone. You have my full admiration. Congratulations!!!!
Thanks, Noraly. God be with you.
Yet no where near as dangerous as the USA with people walking around our city streets with loaded guns and polluted minds full of hate for anyone who has a different opinion from theirs
She has been lucky , those are notorious country's known for random violence, and 80% comes from the police
@@georgeliakaris53 They call them fixers.
Just amazing you can definitely be the poster girl for Honda - keep it up Alaska! Love the drone footage 👏❤️❤️
Itchy Boots is officially now my Travel Channel! Really enjoying each episode. A heartfelt thank you Noraly. Happy trails to you!!
You might also enjoy "Little Chinese Everywhere" charming vlogger showing the remote areas of China. Also her 1st season from Europe through Turkiey, Iran, Malasia, Borneo etc.
Next to Alluring Artic, my favorite 2x2x far..Te Doen.
Totally agree! Itchy Boots is definitely the best travel channel out there. It's amazing to see all the different places Noraly visits and the experiences she has. So glad we get to come along for the ride!
@@bertanelson8062 I'd love to see Noraly do a trip across China and Mongolia next!
My ailing health keeps me pretty much confined to my apartment, but with your help, Noraly, I am still able to see the world! Thank you so much for sharing your great adventure with us!
I am 67 and my heart operates 20-25%.
Lots have changed in my life too.
But I still have a bike, useful for my daily errands. We have a bad traffic situation in our country. The car gets stuck.
By 11:00 am, my energy peters out, so I do not go on long trips.
Noraly has opened up a unique world for us.
She is like the USS Enterprise............." TO BOLDLY GO, WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE ! "
Trinidad & Tobago.
West Indies.
Que mejore tu salud, bluebear.bendiciones.
Nice one bluebear....remember all bikers are one big family wherever you are in the world.
It has been an amazing journey following Noraly on her many adventures! Her footage often makes it feel like we’re along for the ride. Plus, the aerial views are fantastic and really bring the area into perspective!
@ramishrambarran3998 hope you're having a good day
Happy father's day to noraly's dad for raising such a wonderful & kind human being & all the dads around the world you guys are the real superhero ❤❤
He is indeed a fine fellow! (And my age, to boot........)
Father's day? Here in Sweden father's day is 12th November.
@@kareem8533in the United States is today
Noraly's parents certainly did a good job in raising Noraly and I suspect her mother fed her surreptitiously a little ground atlas along with her breast milk. And there was also accidentally a hair of a cat with it. Noraly loves all animals and cats.
So.......a German young man , Martin, wanted to travel the world on his motorcycle. He bought a bike and made a training round to Morocco. On the way back to Germany he saw a little kitten on the roadside. The kitten climbed up his arm and fell asleep. What to do?...... He travelled half of the world with the cat.
There is a book: [ Einmal mit der Katze um die halbe Welt] and a few Video's on UA-cam.
.
Many thanks for the kind words.
Your smile under your helmet while riding through this beautiful landscape, everybody who knows this feeling understands what travelling on a motorcycle means....😊
Screenshot of that smile is my new wallpaper on my iPad!
The always positive attitude is addicting, should be a lesson for many of us. All episodes are special, never gets boring this channel 👍
Noraly certainly stays focused and determined for sure.
It's so easy to just sit in front of a monitor and enjoy and take for granted what Noraly endures and goes through to bring us stunning landscapes and terrain, but I for one always stop to remind myself of the bravery and daring of this incredible woman from The Netherlands. Little wonder our Ms Schoenmaker has a huge following. Stay safe Noraly and thank you for letting us share your adventures.
I'm continually reminded how unfazed you are about being in the country and subject to random "checks" by paramilitary groups. But, people are basically good and I wish that you always find more of them in your amazing travels. There's no one else like you, Noraly. Thanks for bringing the world into our homes.
Paramilitary groups? What an ignorant statement! This is a common thing in most of African countries. These checks are for the protection of the citizens. They can also be seen in Ghana mostly in the evening. Your part of the world is not the only "civilised" or "peaceful" place in the world. Just because you're not used to something doesn't make it dangerous. I have more fear for the American police than I have for the so called paramilitary groups because you can talk to them like human beings.
@@kwameboadukissi426I dont think paramilitary group is a bad thing. It can be bad or it can be good. Depends on the paramilitary group.
I can’t ever get over how you must feel when you make another border crossing. The “welcome to _____” is always said with such relief and exuberance. Guinea certainly gave you some challenging roads. Can’t imagine how bad they will be in rainy season. Have certainly enjoyed the seeing it thru your lens. Your videography just keeps getting better! Great video Noraly!
Noraly's talking about her current location's conditions aren't boring for me, because it's all part of her journey and experiences, and the more she shares, the more real it is for me.
Keep it up, Noraly.
Love Noraly to bits. Always happy. I’m retired. She the first thing I watch on UA-cam when having my breakfast. Keep going Noraly but stay safe.
Seven years of global motorcycle adventures has developed your senses as to what is acceptable & what isn’t. You are a geologist who also has a great understanding of the fundamentals of a lot of rain (torrential?) + a lot of sloping dirt roads & tracks = a lot of potential problems. lol another great view of a part of the world I will never see. Your GoPros & drone images are much appreciated. Thanks for another informative ride. Stay safe. Stay as dry as you can. Keep as upright as you can. Looking forward to you Wednesday post.
"I somehow strayed off the main track"; "I didn't expect..."; "This wasn't part of my plan." The life of the Itchy traveller, who always ends up somewhere interesting and exactly where she intended. Another great video and some lovely shots of the country, interspersed with some worrying "unofficial" checks. All in a long days journey for Noraly. I think we worry more than you!
First...'Bored' ???....whatever you want to talk about Noraly, we will never be bored......Second....the views from that drone flight were stunning....the plateaus with the valley below !!!!! Fantastic.....Thanks Noraly !!!!
Hey Itchy Boots!! Thank you for that stunning drone footage!! You continue to impress..AGAIN!!! With your travel experience, it’s good that you listen to those gut feelings regarding checkpoints..of course those guys always want to go with you…not today my friend, there’s no room!! Congrats on another easy border crossing! Always happy to see the joy and smiles on your face! Rain, rain stay away..we need to see Noraly riding another day!! Cheers to you ! Hugs from Texas USA❤❤
Love to watch your travels Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there.
Good morning Noraly. Happy Father's Day to everyone out there in Noraly Land. You are a great inspiration to daughters every where. 🏍️
Dear Noraly, I haven't been missing a single one of your episodes for I don't how many years now, and all I can say is THANK YOUUUU! For me, you are Ms Braveheart per se ❤. Of course, it's not only your braveness that impresses me much but also your great professionality and discipline. And with all the success you have had in terms of follower numbers, you have maintained your unboastful personality. Always big thumbs up from me😎👍👌
Same here! I can only agree!
Some great drone video, so glad you didn’t have to sleep in a mould infested room, I am often surprised at the high quality of the rooms you are able to find in such out of the way places. I suppose that speaks to my sheltered life in Canada. Keep smiling, Noraly, you are an inspiration to all who crave adventure !❤❤❤Rick
whether you are religious or not,whoever put the earth together,did a hell of a job.....Noraly's journeys,certainly give us a show.
Another great episode. I'm interested to see what you find in Sierra Leone. I was there in the 80s and it was an encounter with what I would call a failing state. Massive poverty, and endemic corruption. Nothing worked, Government workers were never paid, runaway inflation, and it got far worse later with a brutal, nasty war, fuelled largely by diamonds. Despite this all the people I met were wonderful and kind to me and to each other and just tried to make the best with what they had. I often wonder about them and how they fared. Loving your journey and hope you have a lovely ride through Sierra Leone. From the border crossing it looks like a huge improvement.
Well west now is perfectly balanced, 33 trillion in debt, waging wars from 50s, inflation, all time high poverty, but to the delusional people, all is great ;) :)
Alaska has been over more Ruff Roads than any Bike in History of Bike Riding, I know she is not Human but I Feel for her. Thanks again Noraly for All the Many Journeys that You continue to Take us on...
You can tell it's motorcycle country just by how unimpressed the various livestock in the road are by your bike. 😄 Aaaand, the drone up - I always gasp at the wonder of Nature when you do that, then pause the video a million times to examine the terrain. Cool mesas, buttresses, whatever they are called, with mounded rock hills alongside. So different in formation, but likely shaped by the same conditions.
Buttresses are good. Nice rock there. I was wondering how climable it might be even though I that's behind me. A mesa is a flat high up plain at the top of those buttresses. It's Spanish for table.
This has been a great series. I have thoroughly enjoyed this trek through Africa. Ride on, Ryder! 🏍
Love your videos. It's a joy every time you post here on youtube. Ride safe.
I have such admiration for you! You are living the dream I have always wanted. Now into retirement, I'm enjoying my dream through your videos. God Bless! Safe Travels. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. You are a very brave woman. Greetings from Texas, USA! 🥰
Stunning views of the area on the way to Sierra Leone! The aerial view are always amazing! Your camera hides the difficulty of the treks you were on earlier in the day! Great to have an easy border crossing and find a nice place to stay! Ride safe Noraly!
Very beautiful scenery. We thank you alot about your efforts. You show us around the world while we are sitting at home😊
Chère Noraly, j’attends toujours avec impatience vos vidéos ! Je les visualise parfois plusieurs fois et sur mon grand écran. Plusieurs saisons m’ont émerveillée. Prenez soin de vous et que Dieu vous garde. Vous avez une grandeur d’âme. Merci de partager vos voyages avec nous ! Grosses bises Noraly ! Mireille de France
How you stay calm and cheerful in all situations is beyond me.
I don't know why I get excited seeing Noraly's travels as I'm never going to these places. Somehow her excitement at new places is infectious and the scenery always stunning !
Although I find that now I have more context when reading about, for example, the experience of women in Mauritania-although it’s more a familiarity with the environment than cultural issues.
I think it is exciting as even though I am not going to these places it is just interesting to see what it looks like. Makes me understand a little more about the world.
I Ticked every box🥰 scenery,the stretch you took. I love the red soil .❤
An inspiration to so many. You empower people to 'have a go'.
You show us all that people are fundamentally the same the world over.
When we're feeling a bit down, you raise us all up with your adventures. You allow us the privilege of travelling with you.
You bring us Action, Education, Inspiration, Information.
We all care and feel every bump in the road, worry about what comes next and joy at your achievements.
Keep doing what you're doing.
And now: WELCOME TO SIERRA LEONE! Noraly added another border crossing to her resume! Super Hero!🤩👍👍👍
I just recently found your channel and am LOVING IT! I get a few things from your channel, 1- shows people not to be afraid of just traveling to New places 2- shows women can do this 3- shows the beauty of the land and people around the world. 4-I was going to sell everything I own and try sailing, but I would have to learn how to sail, but then one of your videos popped up last month and I said to myself"that's it! I bike, I have 2 motorcycles , and all I want to do is travel" well there it is. I'm planning for everything to be sold and everything else taken care of and on my way within 6 months-ish 😁
And it's all your fault❤️
Take care&Stay safe. From Nova Scotia, Canada eh! 🇨🇦
For me, it was the first season or first trip, was most impressive, the videos wasnt that good from editing or time wise. But to know every country beetween asia and europe was facinating, the people, the views, the visas. It was mind blowing. Season 2 was good. After that it is kindla getting lower or not that exiting. Also first part in africa. (Not this season)
That smile on your face at 12 plus minutes tells the world why you do what you do.😊
🇮🇹 Here WE are, folks! Gooood Afternoon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s gooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹
Noraly's Itchy Boots UA-cam channel still holds the number one spot in my book on any travel channel on the internet or TV for that matter. She is one amazing woman, a world ambassador connecting people around with world without bias or crazy politics. Like Tina sang: "You're simply the best, better than all the rest!"
Hey Noraly. Congrats on another trouble free border crossing. Not to mention, finding a room with clean sheets.👍😀. Cheers and stay safe, Dan. ✌️🇨🇦
This may be my favorite drone footage you've shot so far! It looks so raw and beautiful there in Guinea!! Also, your music choice for the drone coverage is so beautiful!! There is just so much to love with you Noraly!! Thank you for the pleasure you bring to so many!!
Paula, the drone footage is indeed just unreal! It’s really amazing to get to see the area from above that Noraly is riding through!
@@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr she is so kind to let us come along!!
Your adventures are always amazing. I really appreciate the views of the local geography. More in the world than I ever thought possible. Thank you, Noraly. Peace
Noraly's great personality disarms the officials and possible dangerous people. I really feared for her in the Stan countries, but even there, she was respected. Perhaps having 1.68 subscribers watching her every move helps some too.
There are dangerous people everywhere in the world, mate.
@@boseman8227 exactly. And she traveled a lot of countries so it was bound to happen to encounter some scumbags.
Wow, the harder the tracks the happier Noraly seem to be.
Nuff respect to our Wonder woman
Bless up 🙏🙏❤️
Love your work 🎉
Watching from the land downunder Sydney NSW
It appears my comments are not within Noealy's medalian purview, so I am deleting them. Thanks to the 25 people who gave my comments a thumb up. I will make my comments more banal in the future, if I chose to make any.👎💔
Admiro a sua coragem e espírito aventureiro. Eu nasci em Angola e adorava fazer o mesmo percurso de mota de Lisboa até Luanda! Mas sózinho, nem pensar! Parabéns pelas belas imagens de África que nos proporciona. Boa viagem!
ir sozinho é n vezes melhor.
Yet another fabulous episode. Thank you, Noraly for so competently sharing your incredible experience. I am slightly surprised that the whole of Africa doesn't know you're coming by now, and greet you with cheering crowds and waving flags at every border..... 🤪
Absolutely STUNNING scenery as you were leaving Guniea....brought tears to my eyes. Simply stunning, raw nature at its best!
Noraly, your free spirit is absolutely refreshing to behold as you take us with you on this amazing African adventure. ☘️
I always love that "Welcome" to every new country entered.
That morning breeze too was a very nice and refreshing. Hope Alaska will have its TLC at Freetown. Best of luck. Till the next video. Keep safe Noraly
12:37 - 12:38 Priceless! A smile that can brighten the dullest day. Maybe strange but when Noraly smiles, I smile. Thank You Noraly - Peace ❤❤❤
The most beautiful scenery so far this season. Love those mountains.
When epic music starts, you know what's next: epic drone footage!
I think I've said it every episode for Guinea, but it is breathtakingly beautiful.
I love when you say: "Welcome to XXXXX" it is just so nice. Thanks for sharing these videos with us. Best to you and Godspeed.
Noraly, I love to hear you talk about the challenges that, not only you, but the locals face. It's highly unlikely I will visit these places but I love to learn about them from Itchy Boots on the ground, not documentaries that only choose what they want us to see. You show the good, the bad, and the ugly. I love when the music starts to play because I know we're in for an epic ride and views. Your smile says it all about how much you love to travel like this. I love spending my Sunday and Wednesday mornings with you and a cup of coffee. ❤ As always, stay safe and thank you for taking us along. Now, to watch this episode again. It was a grand one!
Happy Sunday morning Noraly!
Thank you Noraly for visiting and showing only the good side of Guinea. Wish you all the best throughout the rest of your road trip. And yes, they are all legit checkpoints. Sometimes, officers in charge might use villagers for the rope and first contact.
Wish I had traveled in my younger years and solo, too! Now at 56, I have joint pain, hip bursitis and it is not fun at all. Good for Noraly to follow her heart, her dreams and allow us to follow her journey as a solo female moto rider!! Sorry, I don't know the appropriate term to use. She is enjoying life to the fullest at such a young age and Kudos and blessings to her.
It was wonderful to see your bright eyes and sunny smile as you rode through the beautiful landscape of Guinea. Thank you for the aerial footage and beautiful music!
Thankyou Noraly For taking us along again. WHAT A WORLD .
I've been following you for many years, sometimes more fanatically than others, depending on where you are. The United States, for example, was beautiful but not very adventurous. Right now, on the other hand, my respects, you are at the height of adventure and risk and I see you with great interest, hoping that everything turns out well. I feel that when I see you I accompany you and that helps you, although I know it's ridiculous. Sometimes I can smell the danger you're in, I know it because I grew up in a dangerous country and, keeping proportions, I also like to venture. I wish you the best of luck and know that I am with you, even if it is in soul.
Wow! Fantastic cinematography!
Absolutely beautiful there Noraly… I can see how tough the terrain is and I really admire you, your strength and tenacity.🌄💛🌟🌝
I am so amazed at the beauty each country offers. Noraly your beaming smile going through the mountainous area says it all and why you love travelling. I am so thankful to you for taking us along.
Finally caught up!
This episode marks a checkpoint of my own journey through your adventures, Noraly.
Forced myself to start with SE1EP1, and travelled with you through every episode in between.
Every season has been an improvement on the last, in terms of production quality and wonder.
Thank you so much for breaking up the minutia of the day, and showing the true beauty of places that are represented poorly by traditional media 🙏
Caught up for Africa season or all seasons starting in Asia, then S and N America? I still have some I haven't watched.
@@jwcinc12 everything. From the beginning of the channel. It’s been amazing to watch the evolution of the content.
Evolution 'in terms of production quality ' by all means, but to me at least the dutch and south African series were slightly less interesting. And the favourite ones being the 2, 6, Scandinavian and the current one.
I breathe a sigh of relief every time I get a new post alert. This is an adventure I would dare not take myself as i have lived too long and seen too much.
"I have no idea where my navigation is taking me" hahah definitely another great video, thanks for taking us on your journey!
Another wonderful adventure. I’m an old dude, who was brought to tears during the stretch of magnificent scenery, landscape & music. One of my favourites so far. Thanks so much for sharing. Blijf Veilig
Once again Noraly the greatest. Such stunning scenery, the green contrasting with the red roads. Thanks for bringing us all with on this special journey💕💕💕
Noraly you take the most offbeat roads with no expectations yet by doing so you reveal such wondrous vistas only you can bring to viewers.
You deserve to be on the front page of National Geographic alongside faithful Alaska..of course !❤👍🙏
I am pretty sure this wasn't a "Hostel" after all.. 😬😬
Awesome Episode, and the Drone flying was epic and beautiful Landscape.
👍👍👍 It's always goof to trust your guts😉😎
Flexibly and easy to change plans on the go.
Quit a trek down off of the plateau,
with questionable barriers too.
Noraly found a nice room going with the flow.
Even how much I love that you post new vids everyday, I understand why you get 3 days break, you've work so hard infront of the camera and even works harder behind.
Very positive lady. After discovering the channel I watched the episodes all night! The face of Africa all across borders
Greetings to you from Tangiers, Morocco, my dear friend. A very wonderful video. The landscapes are very wonderful
Saludos Noraly gracias por compartir otro video que bonito lugar que dios la bendiga y cuide siempre en sus viajes saludos desde Miami Florida us ❤❤😇😇
FROM MOROCCO WITH LOVE. JUST AMAAAAAAAZING
Noraly's specialty is to ride 250 km per day on dirt roads made for daily travels of 10 km. Thank you for great drone shots. Take care
You music selection is the best.
Welcome to Sierra Leone, nice to finally have you here🇸🇱
Whenever you say "I have no idea where I'm going!" I find my self mumbling "So does your navigation." 😊
The landscape shots are absolute stonkers yet again! 🤩 What else is there left to say than: Can't wait for Wednesday! ☺
🤗😍
Didn't realise western Africa could be this lush, and so beautiful! You've spoiled us again!
Pat yourself on the back for this day. Braving the unknown and reading it well. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast! Great stuff!
The drone footage 👌 WAUW beautiful scenery. Always a pleasure riding with you 👍
🌷 from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, T.
Danku 🇳🇱🍻🇺🇸val
Another exciting video love them, happy father's day to all the fathers have a great day.
I think the Germans would call Noraly “a bright penny!” Your upbeat narrations in your cheerful Dutch inflected voice always bring a smile to my face. I hope you always experience the best side of human nature in your travels.
I had no idea of such landforms in West Africa. Terrific drone footage! Thank you
The views from the drone were spectacular. Thanks Noraly.
Leaving another beautiful country. Those drone shots were breath taking! I think you was wise to not stay at that first place as the risk of an infection of any sort is not what you want. Thanks for sharing again. The guy asking for all your files was hilarious!
It's amazing how the roads can vary within the course of a day's ride, from mud-like, clay colored rocky and stepping-stone king of surfaces to asphalt as we've seen in this episode. I also was somewhat dubious about the legitimacy of individuals manning the roped barriers. The fact that they were asking for money or much of anything else was a relief. Safe travel, Noraly.
I’ll be counting the days until you come again… please rest and recuperate nice.. We love you Noraly.
Go Pro May not pick up the rough road but Alaska bouncing around on the video does and she seems to have fun
Erg blij dat je nu in Sierra Leone bent, een land dat politiek behoorlijk turbulent is en bovendien met het komende regenseizon in West-Africa zoals je ook zei. Ik waardeer wat je doet, bedankt ! Altijd recht vooruit Noraly !
You know every time your ride through the red dust cloud on the road, I sneeze here.
I love it when you launch the drone and provide a bird's eye perspective of the landscape and scenery. Beautiful country.
Noraly, you’re such a bright light as your adventure unfolds, in so many different African countries. You always leave a smile behind, with respect and heartfelt joy. Thanks for caring most of us on the back of your bike, I imagine we get a little heavy from time to time. 😂❤
I am enjoying this season so much. It's the only way for me to know this African countries. With Noraly i feel as if i was riding with her. How beautiful the scenery in Guinea, and some of the houses are so cool also. I hope you can continue safe and sound the rest of this journey. Always take care!!🦣🦍🐒🦁🐂🦓
I look forward to every video 😊
Spectacular scenery; loved the drone footage! I also really enjoyed the music in today's episode. And including a border crossing.
