Yes I agree. One thing for sure that has not changed, after 686 videos we just never know what's coming next! Surely with the release of these videos Mohammed is gaining some fame in his area and country for all he has done for this special foreigner shining such a positive light for his country. Peace!
اعرف اكتب الانجليزي جيد جدا ولكني قصدت ان اكتب التعليق بالعربيه ليراه اخواتنا العراقيين والله انكم شعب من احب الشعوب لمصر وشخصيات مفيش اجمل من كده وشكر خاص لمحمد لتمثيل شئ من اصل الشعب العراقي في الكرم والضيافه والجدعنه والرجولة واخيرا نورلي نورتي العراق بلدنا التاني ويارب تستمتعي فيها بوقتك واتمنا لكي المزيد من الفيديوهات المشوقه اللي بجد بعشقها واتمني تزورينا في مصر عن قريب ❤❤❤
It’s evident how much Mohammed matches your energy and spirit! He’s was the ideal guide to show you around for the day. Beautiful episode! Thank you, Noraly ❤
@@ongodwetust77the ignorance that is coming from you is crazy, Norally isn’t even American, who are you to assume anyone is American? And in reality, The US or any other country wouldn’t have to be in your country, if y’all could manage to have a stable government, and extremist groups weren’t growing in your backyard, respectfully.
Mohammad will remember these few days with you for his entire life, as will his family, and everyone else who has had the good fortune to have met you, Noraly. You are not only an adventurer and filmmaker, but one who brings joy and wonder. There is a gentle light that shines from you and warms us all. You are a blessing. Thank you…
I said the same thing in my head. Mohammad has his best memories recorded and saved on the best youtube channel ever. He will be remembered may he stay blessed.
It also helped having Mohammed who if I got it right is part of border control? but in any case he's local and so I think a lot of those security checkups were a lot smoother because of him. But I did get feeling that a lot of story was absent in this video. I guess it would get too political? Also I expected Iraq to be safe country after so many years since war but so many security checkup points makes me wonder what is going on. All best to Iraqi people!
You are still very close to Iran border. Due to pollitical problems, Iraqi goverment still feel sensitive to border places, so it is normal to see alot of security checkups. As you head to baghdad you will.see different scenes which is very nice. MOHAMMAD from sulaimneyah
@@matrixfull What´s going on is ISIS. She talked about that, when she was in north Iraq. She even said she could not use the drone, because people would think it was an attack drone from ISIS...
I'm from South Africa but work in Iraq. Very friendly people with a happy disposition, despite a tough past. The country is trying to claw it's way back to some semblance of stability. These latest episodes do a lot of justice to the people of Iraq & Kurdistan. I'd love to go riding my bike all over this part of the world. In this country, you can easily make friends for life - on the first day.
wasnt a war - was an invasion. as much as i want to love videos like this - its a bit like the assange stuff... I'm in an ally nation, we had to send troops to help the US strategy, i cant even see the word Iraq without feeling anger guilt shame for what we do to people. that will never change for me...ever. i don't have to be patriotic to the US about it.
@@maxfairclough3600 im a journalist...and no its a war from your end - and an invasion from their end. 1 million civilians died...since you're the aggressor you get to ignore that fact. its the same as when you went into Afghanistan - that was an occupying force...and Australia, where i am sent troops - coz we always help you. And our troops blooded and killed 22 civilians..for no reason...coz they wanted to kill stuff.
@@VampireLizardsagree, we did not need to be in Iraq at all. We could have dealt with Osama using special ops and did not need to invade Afghanistan. It was all a very costly mistake for everyone.
Mohammed is a G. Being surrounded and interrogated with the police at borders and checkpoints is stressful as heck. I'm glad you have a great guide and friend like him.
Noraly, you need to get an Iraqi/Arab to translate all your episodes because you will start to notice that every time a policemen or border control stops to ask you where are you from, they always follow it up with, "What the hell has brought you here?" 😂 This season is inspiring me to plot a route to Iraq so I can finally see my roots!!
Mohammed is HIM... Such a guy... Took you around and didn't create any uncomfortable situations with law enforcement and he's well respected in his circle. Top guy! Kinda reminds of Didier in the Madagascar series. Thanks for the ride Noraly.❤
Nice Mitsubishi police pick up trucks and what seems to be American made police cars ? That's a barren but beautiful part of the world. It Reminds me of the phrase "painted desert".
Itchy Boots deserves many more subscribers! This kind of content UA-cam should push more to viewers around the world. No politics, no controversy. Just kindness and demonstrations of no prejudice at all. Greetings from Brazil!!
This is the problem. Life is political. Unfortunately, humans have been controlled by a hidden force (which is just beginning to surface). They suppress women because they have a closer relationship with nature. Catholic church nearly wiped women out in Europe, witches. G/Earth snakes head built rite next door to the Vatica. It is because people turn their back on politics that the psychos are now running the west.
When I see you driving the roads, my first feeling, this is freedom and adventure in the purest form. I love watching you. Thank you Noraly. You are absolute a statement on UA-cam. Don;t you agree, watchers of this channel?
The world would never know, believe or see this about Iraq country if it wasn't for your bravery and commitment to go for this adventure. Keep taking us deeper, we're traveling along, learning and demystifying a lot with you. Thanks
Thank you so much Mohammad for taking care of our beloved Noraly. For being her tour guide, showing your culture and the hospitality of Iraqi people. As always , Noraly priceless smile always melt the heart of everyone who cross her path. Enjoy the ride, be safe and regards to everyone who tirelessly watch her journey for humanity !
Yes, I spotted that Mohammed rides an MZ, a pretty basic motorcycle from the 70's. But it's running well and getting him around. He's just having so much fun being an inpromptu guide for Noraly. Wonderful 👍
I can barely believe that I just saw this. To see the Arab horses stabled, to see the environment and the people who live there. And the feast! This episode is mind-blowing. Big thanks to Mohammed for taking good care of Noraly. It was ggreat to see Noraly riding with him and looked like a lot of fun.
This episode was probably one of the best you've made in years. First of all, the landscape, the people, their fate and their kindness. I was touched when the man injured in the war, without an arm, rode a motorcycle. An incredible experience, all my respect to these people. Thank you Noraly!
My Great Grandfather was from "Badra" the neighbouring village of Jasaan, he was a proud horse breeder and a decent of horse breeders and hence the name of my tribe the "Bani Rchab" or Rekabi's. All is left is ruins, stories and reputation of good deeds. Life goes on.. Thank you so much for these lovely journals.
I´m very moved! Where to start? Shout out to Mohammed, who gave Noraly shelter, food and an unimaginable great and save experience and for us the chance, to see all of it! To see the country and its friendly people, going out of their used routine to show Noraly around, telling their stories! The beautiful horses, well feed and kept, the little goats saved from the heat, and the cute donkey who decided to just go ahead! The childrens big smile and the elderly telling their history, beautiful! The music was sooo fitting and wonderful! Thank you, Noraly! I hope, that all these people you met, from officers to police and wveryone who helped you or just crossed your way for a few minutes is somehow able to watch this episode and maybe they are a fan now, like us!
I was very excited to see him show his treasure, a BEAUTIFUL horse, in such a humble place and with such generous people, who want to tell his story, his achievements... truly an INCREDIBLE AND VERY EMOTIONAL chapter!!!! Thank you Iraq
Hands down there is no video of any kind that keeps me so laser focused on the screen like Noraly's. Amazing cultural education here.... and you got some nice off roading in this day! For the so gracious Mohammed, surely this precious time spent with Noraly will be a lifetime highlight for him. I can see the happiness on his face everywhere. Thank you Mohammed and thank You Noraly. Ride Safe, Peace! ❤❤❤
@ Hi there Lucinda! Even though we have seen some past examples (S1 etc) of the hospitality in mid east, I can't help but still be amazed it continues to be reinforced time and time again. I feel fortunate to experience this from Noraly. Exciting stuff! Peace!
I always meant to travel but events in my life kept me in Scotland. Noraly takes me to places I would not have thought of and reveals the universal kindness of the inhabitants. I loved the kids cheering her on.
I'm new to this channel and I just went through a few videos. I have 40 years of adventurous travels under my belt. This woman is a very smart traveller. She really knows how to interact with people who's language she doesn't talk. She understands how to bridge the cultural gap. She is patient and she understands the power of laughing. And, on top of this, she's also good in storytelling, filming and editing. Sheˋs simply amazing.
@@martinscrapp7166i think it would work just the same. I know people that traveled in Iran and Iraq. They have great memories of hospitality. It is a custom in muslim culture to greet strangers and travelers as guests. Generally speaking, if you are nice to people and show respect they will treat you kindly.
@@maxvayz2351 This is true but I would be scared a bit by all those police checkpoints not being able to speak Arabic. I think her guide was top notch to get her trough. In Iran, there was just a Swiss being found death in a prison in Semnan. Just wondering what really happened there :( The normal peeps are really very welcoming but you never know when you get caught in a twist by government peeps !
محمد شفنا منه كرم الضيافة بالفيديو الماضي، و الفيديو الجديد زيادة على كرم الضيافة شفنا انه بيعرف ناس كثير و اماكن كثيرة و شخصيته مغامرة رائعة! رائع يا محمد!!
There are so many police checks but our Noraly passes with an infectious smile. I vote Noraly to be awarded with the World's Peace Award. Great human she is!
Isn't it wonderful how a chance encounter during a tricky situation has led to a friendship and an extraordinary cultural experience? Imagine how bland your Iraq experience might have been if you hadn't met Mohammed. It's just brilliant that you bumped into him and have spent a few days with him acting as your guide.
Noraly, thank you for showing us an unbiased view of Iraq and its people. In spite of all the tense moments during endless checkpoints and police interrogation, you keep your smile and positive spirits, never fail to show absolute respect for everybody in every culture, and always do your best to speak the language. You, Noraly is a champion in politiness, kindness, and diplomacy. Thank you Mohammed for showing your beautiful, fascinating Iraq and giving shelter to Noraly when she needed the most. Thank you also for every person who showered Noraly with Iraqi hospitality at its finest. Bless your hearts Iraqi people!
What Noraly does is absolutely amazing. No planning, no advance team, no film crew, no coordination team and TV networks couldn't get the footage she produces. Pretty impressive.
@ I don’t mean no planning before hand to know where she going and what to see. I meant that a lot is as it happens where is at that moment, but please speak on her behalf.
@ I’m perfectly calm. What are you about. If you don’t want a reply keep your comments to yourself especially when you talk for others and don’t know anything. I made comments praising her great work because I did this for a living and know what the work is about. You on the other hand can’t seem to help yourself. Make your own comment and leave others alone. Your opinion isn’t necessary or helpful Karen.
@@gilleschercuitte4255 Truce, lol! Dude, I agreed with almost everything you said, and only added a tidbit of info that some people might not know. I never claimed to speak for her, and even said "from what I've seen". I said nothing but positive things about her her and you're acting like I've affronted your personal honor or something.
Mohammed reminds of that guy with the old pickup truck in Africa that helped Noraly and showed her around for days in the desert. Great work both of you!
When I saw that guy riding his bike with no hands it brought a lump to my throat. Such determination to not let anything get in the way of two wheels. Yet another eye opening video. Thank you so much Noraly. 👍
Wat een held, die Mohammed, zonder hem had je al deze plekken nooit kunnen bekijken denk ik, en weet je op deze manier leer ik gewoon dat ook daar fantastische mensen wonen. Dank je wel!❤
This episode is phenomenal! This adventure is incredible. You’re teaching us about a world most of us wouldn’t dare to explore especially solo! The kindness is truly unexpected by these people. What saddens me deeply is never seeing woman and girls outside (other than a couple times walking side by side completely covered). How does this make you feel? You’re inspiring Noraly. I began riding at 58, partly because of you. Please continue to be safe. ✌🏻❤ from Vancouver 🇨🇦
All those Iraqi folks scratching their heads and wondering, "What is this Dutch woman on a motorbike doing in Iraq?" Lol 🤣 Noraly's smiles always winning people over no matter which country. 😊
The highly intelligent Arabian horse caught my eye. I have had horses all my life. The Arabian horse was bred for the desert. They have one less rib than other breeds and were bred for endurance. They process oxygen differently than other breeds. I understand they live in the same dwelling as their handler, like part of the family. I enjoyed your tour and the kindness shown by the people. Mohammed is such a gentleman.
yeah, this horse was an eye-catcher, the filigrane face ... gorgeous ... and the owners full of pride as only real Dessert Sons can appreciate their animals they live with.
@@2000sPvibesyeah i don’t think most viewers really understood what Arabic horse was actually meant to be. It’s a special and very prized breed. A very unique experience to see it.
With absolutely no official authority, I officially declare Noraly as an International Ambassador of Peace! Opening the world's eyes to the goodness in every human.
An ocean of thanks and aroha for Mohammed, his mum, and the good people of Iraq for the hospitality and kindness extended to Noraly for all of us to share. Deep gratitude from Aotearoa, New Zealand ❤.
Noraly- I was severely wounded serving for the US in 2007 in that general area. In 2009 I went back to Iraq and flew all over the country with Operation Proper Exit. I went back to that area and was treated like a national (Iraqi) hero! When ISIS then took control of much of the country I was so heart broken and have longed to see the area again and to see how the people there, kids and adults alike seem happy. One day I hope to go back and take my daughter to see the good we did there and the difference we made and we did make a difference. Thanks for taking me on this amazing journey through your eyes and wheels.
You people destroyed that country. Once a country with highest education and higher living standards has been reduced to a third world country. Millions of innocent people dealing with health issues due to bombing. Not to mention millions killed so the oil can be stolen. Not something to be proud about.
Mohammed, what a nice guy..... What incredible luck to run into him at the border. Who knows how your journey would have turned out otherwise... He’s a legend. I hope he has a great and wonderful life. Respect.
Kudos to Mohammed, a big help and great tour guide too. Hospitality of locals, including police was so heartwarming to witness. World isn't what fake media portrays!! 🙏
My dear, humanity started from Iraq. Iraq is a great country and its people are good people. We respect all divine religions. Contrary to what some people say about us and try to distort the image of the Iraqi people, we are a people who accept others, regardless of their nationality or sect, and we always smile at the other’s faces. A huge observation in the countryside is that they did not enter schools, so they do not speak English, but Cities We know the English language and we have a great culture and ancient history, such as the Sumerian civilization Babylon and the Assyrian civilization. We are a people divided into sections. Among us are the Shiite Muslims, among us are the Sunni Muslims, among us are the Iraqi Christians, among us are the Iraqi Jews, among us are the Iraqi Sabians, among us are the Iraqi Kurds, among us are the Iraqi Yazidis. The Christians of Iraq are distributed across the regions of Iraq, and they are Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, Dohuk, and Mosul. As for the south of Iraq, they are the Shiites, and the strangest thing is Iraq. The Sunnis of the Iraqi people are like multi-colored roses. Greetings to you from Iraq, civilization
If you tend to watch the Main Stream Indoctrination News, you tend to get a polarised view of the world, other peoples and their way of life. In many ways, Noraly brings balance.
Mohammed is a diamond 💎 What a wonderful guy and a blessing for this leg of your journey Noraly. You know, we have been treated to a new and fresh insight into Iraq, its people, and traditions. Smiling police and army 😊 This is better than National Geographic 👍
Noraly As I mentioned before, you have something very special that brings out the best of people. No matter where you go or what country you're in, their hospitality is amazing. You had a guided tour of places we can only dream of. The beauty of the land, even though desolate land and baron mountains are home to all these people that have treated with the most respect and welcome you to a feast of food. It is so sad knowing that they have endured so much hardship throughout their lives
Mohammed is a boss for sure. such a kind guy who guiding you around. Mohammed, if you reading this, you are really kind person and showing our Norali arround. Bravo.
This was one of the best episodes in a long time. Much more fun to see you interacting with people instead of just roads and roads and roads. I hope to see more like this.
The more i travel the world and the more i see other people travelling it really shows that what we have been told on the media in our countries about these countries and people is just plain false. This is why travelling out of your own country is important. I really like this series. Thank you Noraly for your confidence, time and willingness. Your efforts are so appreciated by many.
I have seen videos of other motorcyclists in Iran, a wonderful country, very clean with wonderful and friendly people, something that European and American televisions do not show us. Is it possible that we cannot find peace agreements between governments? Everyone would benefit, especially the people, because there is no hatred among them, but a desire for peace.
All episodes are amazing…but this one was just over the top… it was in a way so different. My absolute favourite moment was of a man in all white, smiling in the sun as the drone flew over to show the amazing backdrop of blue skies and mountains. Such a simple and tough life…yet people are so friendly and happy. A realy realy…moving (for the lack of a better expression)….episode. Bravo Noraly, bravo!❤
I smiled so much in this video at all the kindness and generosity and the legend Mohammed showing you the sites and talking to the police with you. I loved his gear and riding. His energy was amazing to watch and you can see how much fun he is having showing you his country. Just such a good video. Loved hearing you laugh so much in it too.
Awesome episode. YOu are so blessed to have the help of so many wonderful people. I'm so proud of you and your positive attitude and adventurous spirit.
This just goes to show if you just believe what’s in the news. You’d never do anything. Noraly shows it as it really is. This is the No1 reason I watch this channel.
Itchy Boots is hands down the best content out there today. This shows the grace of humanity, the warmth and generosity of people - regardless of what they have been through, what they are facing, and where they live. How do we get Itchy Boots nominated for awards to spread her platform even farther? So many people could use this view of the best of humanity. Thank you for brightening my day. I am enthralled and captivated at your spirit and warmth Noraly.
what I love about Norally besides her true nature and beautiful soul , is that she destroys the prejudices well established by those who like to divide this beautiful world into us " the civilized !!!" and them ( the horrible , savage , backwarded , ignorants ...and..and..and !!!!! ) . Norally , does not make loud verbal statements , but She creates abig bang by showing the truth diplayed in the beauty of the people , their goodness , their hospitality , their help . She delivers the truth and exposes the lies , that the colonial minds from the past and still in the present try to dissimate with lies through the media and international propaganda . one graceful trooper of a lady from holland delivers a powerful defeat to very powerful warmongers . carry on dear Norally , for you are making an imprint on this world . Be Blessed 🌹🙏.
Thank you for sharing your incredible adventures. Your videos have been a great source of stress relief for me, bringing comfort and inspiration during tough times. You've made a positive impact on my life, and I truly appreciate it. Wishing you safe travels, much love from Kenya 🇰🇪
As an American, Iraq is a sensitive subject. Thanks to Itchy Boots, this episode is an eye opener. So relieved to see present day Iraq and Mohammed’s lighthearted spirit!! He will sit up there along with Ahmed, and Didier!! Thank you Noraly, for the work that you do and for the joy and smiles that you bring!! BTW Itchy Boots, I can see you get your morning work out trying to kickstart Frankie!!🤪🤪Cheers from Texas USA ❤❤
As an American, I agree with your sentiments. My only critique is , where are the women and girls? Why do we hardly ever see any? We know it's a subservient culture, but why are there no visible women and girls? It's beautiful to see most of the men and boys interacting respectfully and curiously with Noraly though.
مرحبا بك في العراق العظيم والشعب الأصيل الذي بعكس صورة الشهامه والاخوه العربيه فيدو جميل جدا والشكر موصول للسيد محمد رمز الشجاعه والضيافة الاصيله وتاكدي انك سوف تحصلين على كافة القاعده والاحترام من الشعب العراقي العظيم أينما حللت فيه تحياتي لك ابو هيثم السواعده من الاردن
Nourali, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have shown my beautiful country. I hope that you visit the museums in Baghdad and many different places. Many talk about the veil of women in Baghdad. There are many religions such as Muslims, Christians, Kurds, Sabeans, and Yazidis. Baghdad is a free place. Wearing the veil is not mandatory. I hope that Nourali visits Al-Mansour and other places such as Al-Harithiya and visits the churches in Baghdad, the Church of Mary, so that the world knows that we in Baghdad are fanatical Sunnis. It is a free country. There are 500 churches in Baghdad, and the best church is the Church of the Virgin Mary in Al-Karrada.
Mohammad is such a gentleman. I am glad you met him while border crossing. I think this changed plans of Noraly. That's what we call an adventure. And he made me remember Didier of Madagascar who accompanied you , he was also good man. Yesterday i watched gulf crisis documentary and today your video helped me to get more information thank you Noraly❤🙏
Mohammed is a fantastic mix of sweet, bold, kind, authoritarian when needed and fearless. And the way he handles that little bike. The best time of his life and something truly incredible to show his future generations. A long and happy life and a million thanks for ensuring our adored friend's enjoyment and safety ❤
This was one of your best videos yet! We got to see some ancient beautiful culture, met some lovely people, had a meal with some random people in the desert, got in a good Itchy Boots drone shot! As a person in the US, I am really loving this experience of meeting people who we have been taught to fear, and seeing how you are treated with such kindness and respect everywhere you go. Mohammed has definitely cemented himself in the Itchy Boots Book of Legends!
Bedankt Noraly voor dit geweldige avontuur, zoals gewoonlijk heb ik weer erg genoten. Power vrouw en charismatisch, dat ben jij! Ik kan niet wachten op de volgende video. ❤
Noraly, when your videos end, they leave a feeling of emptiness. If your videos were 3 hours long, I would watch them all. I thought the last season in Africa was perfect, I watched all the episodes, but this season is wonderful. The Iraqi people are incredible. I'm from Brazil and I've never seen Iraq like this. You made me want to visit Iraq lol
Mohamed is such a great man. He helped you a lot not to mention he offer you to stay with his family for the night. Without him, I can’t imagine how much time you will spend with all these borders/checkpoints police. Anyway the Iraqi people are just living a simple life but seems very happy. I hope for the very best to these people. Hope one day they be able to rebuild their villages from all these destruction during the wars. The views are so beautiful. Can’t wait to watch your next vlog. Please stay safe. Have a fun journey. Cheers!
I’ll be honest, your videos have changed my perspective of how I saw many countries and I’m glad I’m wrong. Now I wanna visit those countries and meet these wonderful people.
Greetings from Turkey. Thank you to everyone for the hospitality in Iraq. Noraly, I was very worried about you at one point, but now I'm a little more relieved. Be careful, please
I almost didn't watch this episode. My uncle was a Marine in Desert Storm. Although I was teary-eyed at parts, I'm glad I watched. Our world is truly beautiful from end to end. War distorts our view of people and places we don't know. I am truly blessed by this episode. Blessings to Noraly and Mohammed (who needs his own UA-cam channel now).
Every day I get to watch a Noraly Itchy Boots video is a good day. Thank you, Mohammed for taking care of Noraly. The history of that place is amazing.
Noraly, one of the BEST chapters ! I love seeing how other people live, see what they do, how they behave naturally in their countries and cultural environments … this is precious. Thanks! 🙏
Na West Afrika (natuurlijk ook omdat ik in Angola ben geweest, maar sowieso) dacht ik dit kun je voor mij niet meer overtreffen…., maar…je hebt me weer te pakken Noraly! En Kuddos aan Mohammed! Wat een top gozer!
Dear Noraly, you are doing an amazing job. It is obviously a difficult region after all what happened due to destructive politics but not "evil" for sure. You are opening a big, great window. Thanks a million.
When a Dutch person says that the stairs are steep, trust me, they must be steep indeed. Greetings and a huge thank you for all the work you put into these amazing videos!
Wow! What an incredible video. Mohammed is quite the hospitable tour guide. God bless him for his kindness. My favorite parts were with the children, seeing the day old goats, seeing the man climb the palm tree to get dates, seeing a tent being built in the desert and everyone eating inside... so many great highlights. Thank you Noraly, safe travels!
Thank you once again,every episode is filled with superb views and comments,your editing is extremely good,never a dull moment,your kindness attracts likewise people,stay safe
From ER medical emergencies to watching tonight's episode of yours, Noraly! And boom! You had a an amazing "hot" Iraq desert tour, to making new friends, young and old, from smooth ride to check points stop ever now & then. Adrenaline pumping, wow! Mohammed is also having the time of his life to be of great help and tour guide/translator, which had somehow made things a bit smoother. Looking forward to the Baghdad ride... Till the next video 😊 Now, I'll go back to my ER adrenaline rush
So far this is the best part of the journey loved the tour you had with Muhammad. You're such an inspiration to billions across the globe. We love you Norally
An absolute masterpiece-episode! And Mohammed has finally become an Itchy Boots Legend!
Yes I agree. One thing for sure that has not changed, after 686 videos we just never know what's coming next! Surely with the release of these videos Mohammed is gaining some fame in his area and country for all he has done for this special foreigner shining such a positive light for his country. Peace!
Mohammad will always be remembered by all of Noraly’s fans
He has earned a place with Didier from Madagascar and Ahmed from Mauritania
Agreed.....
@@vidalzapata Yes Sir.
Thank You Mohammed for making Noraly's journey smooth.
I am dying from cancer, my days of traveling are over, I am very proud of your sense of adventure, life is too short to sit still, keep moving, live!

You are not only an adventurer and filmmaker, but one who brings joy and wonder. There is a gentle light that shines from you and warms us all. You are a blessing. Thank you…
I said the same thing in my head. Mohammad has his best memories recorded and saved on the best youtube channel ever. He will be remembered may he stay blessed.
Language is never a barrier when wonderful hearts and souls are involved 💞😊

It also helped having Mohammed who if I got it right is part of border control? but in any case he's local and so I think a lot of those security checkups were a lot smoother because of him. But I did get feeling that a lot of story was absent in this video. I guess it would get too political? Also I expected Iraq to be safe country after so many years since war but so many security checkup points makes me wonder what is going on. All best to Iraqi people!
You are still very close to Iran border. Due to pollitical problems, Iraqi goverment still feel sensitive to border places, so it is normal to see alot of security checkups. As you head to baghdad you will.see different scenes which is very nice. MOHAMMAD from sulaimneyah

@@mohamad15155 thank you for your answer Mohammad. I looked at photos and info of Sulaimneyah - beautiful place!
I'm from South Africa but work in Iraq. Very friendly people with a happy disposition, despite a tough past. The country is trying to claw it's way back to some semblance of stability. These latest episodes do a lot of justice to the people of Iraq & Kurdistan. I'd love to go riding my bike all over this part of the world. In this country, you can easily make friends for life - on the first day.
This is the best and unbiased update about Iraq since the war for me.
There's plenty of vids out there. I recommend mike okay on here who's just went round the off the beaten track in Iraq.
Lovely place
wasnt a war - was an invasion. as much as i want to love videos like this - its a bit like the assange stuff...

@@maxfairclough3600 im a journalist...and no its a war from your end - and an invasion from their end. 1 million civilians died...since you're the aggressor you get to ignore that fact. its the same as when you went into Afghanistan - that was an occupying force...and Australia, where i am sent troops - coz we always help you. And our troops blooded and killed 22 civilians..for no reason...coz they wanted to kill stuff.
@@VampireLizardsagree, we did not need to be in Iraq at all. We could have dealt with Osama using special ops and did not need to invade Afghanistan. It was all a very costly mistake for everyone.

Mohammed is a G. Being surrounded and interrogated with the police at borders and checkpoints is stressful as heck. I'm glad you have a great guide and friend like him.
He rides that bike like a boss as well!
Nothing stressful here , it’s normal thing if you are stranger in inhabitant area
@@jeffanderson8384 He rides like a Colonel :) having best time of his life.
All of the men use their best manners. And the natural Iraqi hospitality shows up, along with much curiosity!
It was nice to see the children! They seemed to like you! ^_^
Noraly, you need to get an Iraqi/Arab to translate all your episodes because you will start to notice that every time a policemen or border control stops to ask you where are you from, they always follow it up with, "What the hell has brought you here?" 😂 This season is inspiring me to plot a route to Iraq so I can finally see my roots!!
Mohammed is HIM... Such a guy... Took you around and didn't create any uncomfortable situations with law enforcement and he's well respected in his circle. Top guy! Kinda reminds of Didier in the Madagascar series. Thanks for the ride Noraly.❤
Didier! I was trying to remember that hero’s name. These guys are gems! Make their mothers proud.
WOW.. I REMEMBER DIDIER! HAD TO SWAP BIKES TOO! HE WAS A LEGEND AS MOHOMMED!
I also remember that guy in madagascar
شكرا محمد لتمثيل بلدنا باجمل صورة ومساعدتك نورلي
Thank you, Norli, for the wonderful video, and welcome to our country
Nice Mitsubishi police pick up trucks and what seems to be American made police cars ?
That's a barren but beautiful part of the world. It Reminds me of the phrase "painted desert".

Itchy Boots deserves many more subscribers! This kind of content UA-cam should push more to viewers around the world. No politics, no controversy. Just kindness and demonstrations of no prejudice at all. Greetings from Brazil!!
It makes us all another side to Iran/Iraq that I didn't know existed from what we see on the news 😊
Unfortunately it’s because Norally accepts, and in doing so condones , the oppression of women by all these, supposedly wonderful, men.
This is the problem. Life is political. Unfortunately, humans have been controlled by a hidden force (which is just beginning to surface). They suppress women because they have a closer relationship with nature. Catholic church nearly wiped women out in Europe, witches. G/Earth snakes head built rite next door to the Vatica. It is because people turn their back on politics that the psychos are now running the west.
It brings all politicians and so called leaders to shame. Shame on all all of them
She already has over 2 million lol
If you make me cry, you win. This woman and her good Iraqi helper made me cry. This just tops anything I've seen so far. Absolutely, the best!

You are so right !
Thank you so much Mohammad for taking care of our beloved Noraly. For being her tour guide, showing your culture and the hospitality of Iraqi people. As always , Noraly priceless smile always melt the heart of everyone who cross her path. Enjoy the ride, be safe and regards to everyone who tirelessly watch her journey for humanity !
Amen...
Mohammed rides an East German MZ 250. We had them in our country about thirty years ago and I'm glad to see that they are still rollin.
Yes, I spotted that Mohammed rides an MZ, a pretty basic motorcycle from the 70's. But it's running well and getting him around. He's just having so much fun being an inpromptu guide for Noraly. Wonderful 👍
That's crazy and cool.
Will probably still be going 100 yrs from now.
Thank you! I kept looking thinking what bike is that? 😊
Those are either Iranian or Chinese offbrand replicas
I can barely believe that I just saw this. To see the Arab horses stabled, to see the environment and the people who live there. And the feast! This episode is mind-blowing. Big thanks to Mohammed for taking good care of Noraly. It was ggreat to see Noraly riding with him and looked like a lot of fun.
👍
Sukran Mohammed for being a legendary guide for our Noraly!
This episode was probably one of the best you've made in years. First of all, the landscape, the people, their fate and their kindness. I was touched when the man injured in the war, without an arm, rode a motorcycle. An incredible experience, all my respect to these people. Thank you Noraly!
You should watch another episode in Mauritanian desert.
I totally agree with you my friend. His smile was so touching when he stepped of the bike. Great emotional moment
agreed 1000%
I know right I agreed I’ve also said the same thing.
He actually had both arms missing.
Didn’t stop him though.
My Great Grandfather was from "Badra" the neighbouring village of Jasaan, he was a proud horse breeder and a decent of horse breeders and hence the name of my tribe the "Bani Rchab" or Rekabi's.
All is left is ruins, stories and reputation of good deeds.
Life goes on.. Thank you so much for these lovely journals.

Where to start?
Shout out to Mohammed, who gave Noraly shelter, food and an unimaginable great and save experience and for us the chance, to see all of it!
To see the country and its friendly people, going out of their used routine to show Noraly around, telling their stories! The beautiful horses, well feed and kept, the little goats saved from the heat, and the cute donkey who decided to just go ahead!
The childrens big smile and the elderly telling their history, beautiful! The music was sooo fitting and wonderful! Thank you, Noraly!
I hope, that all these people you met, from officers to police and wveryone who helped you or just crossed your way for a few minutes is somehow able to watch this episode and maybe they are a fan now, like us!
thank you for expressing the same thing I feel
Note the pride of the guy with the beautiful horses.
This adventure has been fantastic from the start. It just gets better and better...
I was very excited to see him show his treasure, a BEAUTIFUL horse, in such a humble place and with such generous people, who want to tell his story, his achievements... truly an INCREDIBLE AND VERY EMOTIONAL chapter!!!! Thank you Iraq
Oh yes, that is one magnificent horse.
Hands down there is no video of any kind that keeps me so laser focused on the screen like Noraly's. Amazing cultural education here.... and you got some nice off roading in this day! For the so gracious Mohammed, surely this precious time spent with Noraly will be a lifetime highlight for him. I can see the happiness on his face everywhere. Thank you Mohammed and thank You Noraly. Ride Safe, Peace! ❤❤❤
Hey Jason! Laser focused indeed with this episode! I was so curious about Iraq! Relieved to see the hospitality! What an eye opener!!
@ Hi there Lucinda! Even though we have seen some past examples (S1 etc) of the hospitality in mid east, I can't help but still be amazed it continues to be reinforced time and time again. I feel fortunate to experience this from Noraly. Exciting stuff! Peace!
I always meant to travel but events in my life kept me in Scotland. Noraly takes me to places I would not have thought of and reveals the universal kindness of the inhabitants. I loved the kids cheering her on.
I'm new to this channel and I just went through a few videos. I have 40 years of adventurous travels under my belt. This woman is a very smart traveller. She really knows how to interact with people who's language she doesn't talk. She understands how to bridge the cultural gap. She is patient and she understands the power of laughing. And, on top of this, she's also good in storytelling, filming and editing. Sheˋs simply amazing.
Being from a neutral country and giggles seems to work for her; not sure if it would work for a guy somehow.
@@martinscrapp7166i think it would work just the same. I know people that traveled in Iran and Iraq. They have great memories of hospitality. It is a custom in muslim culture to greet strangers and travelers as guests. Generally speaking, if you are nice to people and show respect they will treat you kindly.
@@maxvayz2351 This is true but I would be scared a bit by all those police checkpoints not being able to speak Arabic. I think her guide was top notch to get her trough. In Iran, there was just a Swiss being found death in a prison in Semnan. Just wondering what really happened there :( The normal peeps are really very welcoming but you never know when you get caught in a twist by government peeps !

Great job Noraly, Thank you to Mohammed for showing you around! He is almost celebrity himself, eh! such a great gentleman.
There are so many police checks but our Noraly passes with an infectious smile. I vote Noraly to be awarded with the World's Peace Award. Great human she is!
Note deserving than the war creating politicians that are handed it most of the time
I cannot visit a country with so many check points.
Noraly closes the gap between cultures by showing respect, kindness and love.
Isn't it wonderful how a chance encounter during a tricky situation has led to a friendship and an extraordinary cultural experience? Imagine how bland your Iraq experience might have been if you hadn't met Mohammed. It's just brilliant that you bumped into him and have spent a few days with him acting as your guide.
Yeah, specially if you think of all those police control points: crazy !
Noraly, thank you for showing us an unbiased view of Iraq and its people. In spite of all the tense moments during endless checkpoints and police interrogation, you keep your smile and positive spirits, never fail to show absolute respect for everybody in every culture, and always do your best to speak the language. You, Noraly is a champion in politiness, kindness, and diplomacy. Thank you Mohammed for showing your beautiful, fascinating Iraq and giving shelter to Noraly when she needed the most. Thank you also for every person who showered Noraly with Iraqi hospitality at its finest. Bless your hearts Iraqi people!
Very true but without Mohamed, it would have been very difficult getting through all those endless checkpoints not knowing the Arabique language.
What Noraly does is absolutely amazing. No planning, no advance team, no film crew, no coordination team and TV networks couldn't get the footage she produces. Pretty impressive.
From the few behind-the-scenes videos I've seen, she does a TON of planning. She puts in a lot of work off camera for each season. But, yes, amazing!
@ I don’t mean no planning before hand to know where she going and what to see. I meant that a lot is as it happens where is at that moment, but please speak on her behalf.
@ Calm down Karen, you're trying too hard
@ I’m perfectly calm. What are you about. If you don’t want a reply keep your comments to yourself especially when you talk for others and don’t know anything. I made comments praising her great work because I did this for a living and know what the work is about. You on the other hand can’t seem to help yourself. Make your own comment and leave others alone. Your opinion isn’t necessary or helpful Karen.
@@gilleschercuitte4255 Truce, lol! Dude, I agreed with almost everything you said, and only added a tidbit of info that some people might not know. I never claimed to speak for her, and even said "from what I've seen". I said nothing but positive things about her her and you're acting like I've affronted your personal honor or something.
Mohammed reminds of that guy with the old pickup truck in Africa that helped Noraly and showed her around for days in the desert. Great work both of you!
Yes, he is Ahmed.... another great person, I always remember that trip. Noralie's travels give a great feel for the lands and its people
I also remember that old man in truct that help noraly in the desert
Where respect meets respect. Well done Mohammed and Noraly for reminding us all that human respect can tear down barriers.👏🙏👏
When I saw that guy riding his bike with no hands it brought a lump to my throat. Such determination to not let anything get in the way of two wheels. Yet another eye opening video. Thank you so much Noraly.

I have thought the same thing. Her smile is perfect. It’s disarms everyone.
The highly intelligent Arabian horse caught my eye. I have had horses all my life. The Arabian horse was bred for the desert. They have one less rib than other breeds and were bred for endurance. They process oxygen differently than other breeds. I understand they live in the same dwelling as their handler, like part of the family. I enjoyed your tour and the kindness shown by the people. Mohammed is such a gentleman.
That horse was stunning.
yeah, this horse was an eye-catcher, the filigrane face ... gorgeous ... and the owners full of pride as only real Dessert Sons can appreciate their animals they live with.
That’s why the owner was so proud of that horse. He mentioned several times in Arabic that this is a genuine Arabic Horse
@@2000sPvibesyeah i don’t think most viewers really understood what Arabic horse was actually meant to be. It’s a special and very prized breed. A very unique experience to see it.

This whole crossing of the border to Iran and back to Iraq was filled with such drama. It was brilliant! Now back to exploring the beautiful world.
its lucky for us didnt have that many military checkpoint. it just wow to see these middle eastern had somany checkpoint because the unstable area
This channel really changes my world view in such a positive way
Noraly is an ambassador for world peace, showing the good in people, in all the countries she visits!
She is also visiting countries where nighttime travel is very dangerous.
I proudly second your opinion!! ❤ ☮️
You are so right. This episode was healing for me as an older American who only saw horrible war footage of Iraq. So much beauty and friendliness.
Noraly- I was severely wounded serving for the US in 2007 in that general area. In 2009 I went back to Iraq and flew all over the country with Operation Proper Exit. I went back to that area and was treated like a national (Iraqi) hero! When ISIS then took control of much of the country I was so heart broken and have longed to see the area again and to see how the people there, kids and adults alike seem happy. One day I hope to go back and take my daughter to see the good we did there and the difference we made and we did make a difference. Thanks for taking me on this amazing journey through your eyes and wheels.
Your country murdered a million Iraqis for the benefit of a war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu formerly of Polish heritage and real name Mikeikowsky
You people destroyed that country. Once a country with highest education and higher living standards has been reduced to a third world country.

Really fake news
My dear, humanity started from Iraq. Iraq is a great country and its people are good people. We respect all divine religions. Contrary to what some people say about us and try to distort the image of the Iraqi people, we are a people who accept others, regardless of their nationality or sect, and we always smile at the other’s faces. A huge observation in the countryside is that they did not enter schools, so they do not speak English, but Cities We know the English language and we have a great culture and ancient history, such as the Sumerian civilization Babylon and the Assyrian civilization. We are a people divided into sections. Among us are the Shiite Muslims, among us are the Sunni Muslims, among us are the Iraqi Christians, among us are the Iraqi Jews, among us are the Iraqi Sabians, among us are the Iraqi Kurds, among us are the Iraqi Yazidis. The Christians of Iraq are distributed across the regions of Iraq, and they are Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, Dohuk, and Mosul. As for the south of Iraq, they are the Shiites, and the strangest thing is Iraq. The Sunnis of the Iraqi people are like multi-colored roses. Greetings to you from Iraq, civilization

If you tend to watch the Main Stream Indoctrination News, you tend to get a polarised view of the world, other peoples and their way of life. In many ways, Noraly brings balance.
The only people who ruin the world are politicians.
not 1 women......
The last two episodes must be enough to inspire Mohammed to create his own channel 🤗. Keep it up, Noraly !! 💪
Mohammed is a diamond 💎 What a wonderful guy and a blessing for this leg of your journey Noraly. You know, we have been treated to a new and fresh insight into Iraq, its people, and traditions. Smiling police and army 😊 This is better than National Geographic 👍
Noraly
As I mentioned before, you have something very special that brings out the best of people. No matter where you go or what country you're in, their hospitality is amazing. You had a guided tour of places we can only dream of. The beauty of the land, even though desolate land and baron mountains are home to all these people that have treated with the most respect and welcome you to a feast of food.
It is so sad knowing that they have endured so much hardship throughout their lives
Mohammed is a boss for sure. such a kind guy who guiding you around. Mohammed, if you reading this, you are really kind person and showing our Norali arround. Bravo.
This was one of the best episodes in a long time. Much more fun to see you interacting with people instead of just roads and roads and roads. I hope to see more like this.
Couldn’t have met a better person at the border to show you around! Mohammed is a gem
She can never get very far when people are so friendly and want to spend time with her.
The more i travel the world and the more i see other people travelling it really shows that what we have been told on the media in our countries about these countries and people is just plain false. This is why travelling out of your own country is important. I really like this series. Thank you Noraly for your confidence, time and willingness. Your efforts are so appreciated by many.
SO so true
I have seen videos of other motorcyclists in Iran, a wonderful country, very clean with wonderful and friendly people, something that European and American televisions do not show us. Is it possible that we cannot find peace agreements between governments? Everyone would benefit, especially the people, because there is no hatred among them, but a desire for peace.

Awesome episode. YOu are so blessed to have the help of so many wonderful people. I'm so proud of you and your positive attitude and adventurous spirit.
This just goes to show if you just believe what’s in the news. You’d never do anything. Noraly shows it as it really is. This is the No1 reason I watch this channel.
Itchy Boots is hands down the best content out there today. This shows the grace of humanity, the warmth and generosity of people - regardless of what they have been through, what they are facing, and where they live.
How do we get Itchy Boots nominated for awards to spread her platform even farther? So many people could use this view of the best of humanity.
Thank you for brightening my day. I am enthralled and captivated at your spirit and warmth Noraly.
Mohammed was truly the goat of this episode, very cool and helpful
what I love about Norally besides her true nature and beautiful soul , is that she destroys the prejudices well established by those who like to divide this beautiful world into us " the civilized !!!" and them ( the horrible , savage , backwarded , ignorants ...and..and..and !!!!! ) .
Norally , does not make loud verbal statements , but She creates abig bang by showing the truth diplayed in the beauty of the people , their goodness , their hospitality , their help .
She delivers the truth and exposes the lies , that the colonial minds from the past and still in the present try to dissimate with lies through the media and international propaganda .
one graceful trooper of a lady from holland delivers a powerful defeat to very powerful warmongers .
carry on dear Norally , for you are making an imprint on this world .
Be Blessed 🌹🙏.

Noraly. You are no doubt the talk of the town. And a huge curiosity. Thank you for showing us these wonderful people.
Nourali, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have shown my beautiful country. I hope that you visit the museums in Baghdad and many different places. Many talk about the veil of women in Baghdad. There are many religions such as Muslims, Christians, Kurds, Sabeans, and Yazidis. Baghdad is a free place. Wearing the veil is not mandatory. I hope that Nourali visits Al-Mansour and other places such as Al-Harithiya and visits the churches in Baghdad, the Church of Mary, so that the world knows that we in Baghdad are fanatical Sunnis. It is a free country. There are 500 churches in Baghdad, and the best church is the Church of the Virgin Mary in Al-Karrada.
Mohammad is such a gentleman. I am glad you met him while border crossing. I think this changed plans of Noraly. That's what we call an adventure.
And he made me remember Didier of Madagascar who accompanied you , he was also good man.
Yesterday i watched gulf crisis documentary and today your video helped me to get more information thank you Noraly❤🙏

And the way he handles that little bike.
The best time of his life and something truly incredible to show his future generations.
A long and happy life and a million thanks for ensuring our adored friend's enjoyment and safety ❤
This was one of your best videos yet! We got to see some ancient beautiful culture, met some lovely people, had a meal with some random people in the desert, got in a good Itchy Boots drone shot! As a person in the US, I am really loving this experience of meeting people who we have been taught to fear, and seeing how you are treated with such kindness and respect everywhere you go. Mohammed has definitely cemented himself in the Itchy Boots Book of Legends!
I agree, this episode was simply brilliant. It makes my heart ache for the useless pain that so many endure in war.

7:50 Two of them. And one still has a German numberplate - it's from Western Germany post 1990 but still ... ^^
That bike is the must desired/good bike in my country (Cuba). There are a lot of them over there, in all models (ETZ 250, 251, TS 250, Trophy, etc)
I’ll be honest, your videos have changed my perspective of how I saw many countries and I’m glad I’m wrong. Now I wanna visit those countries and meet these wonderful people.
hell yeah man ...
Greetings from Turkey. Thank you to everyone for the hospitality in Iraq. Noraly, I was very worried about you at one point, but now I'm a little more relieved. Be careful, please
I almost didn't watch this episode. My uncle was a Marine in Desert Storm. Although I was teary-eyed at parts, I'm glad I watched. Our world is truly beautiful from end to end. War distorts our view of people and places we don't know. I am truly blessed by this episode. Blessings to Noraly and Mohammed (who needs his own UA-cam channel now).
Not war, religion and greed.
Does your uncle regrets going??
War built on lies and media propaganda
Your attitude, the kindness from others, the scenery, cinematography generally, music, stories and friendships. As ever, beautiful.
To see the fellow ride MC with no hands WOW emotional, and when he gets off the MC the smile WOW >> Noraly you are the TRUE AMBASSADOR of the WORLD
Every day I get to watch a Noraly Itchy Boots video is a good day. Thank you, Mohammed for taking care of Noraly. The history of that place is amazing.
Noraly, one of the BEST chapters ! I love seeing how other people live, see what they do, how they behave naturally in their countries and cultural environments … this is precious. Thanks! 🙏
Na West Afrika (natuurlijk ook omdat ik in Angola ben geweest, maar sowieso) dacht ik dit kun je voor mij niet meer overtreffen…., maar…je hebt me weer te pakken Noraly! En Kuddos aan Mohammed! Wat een top gozer!
Dear Noraly, you are doing an amazing job. It is obviously a difficult region after all what happened due to destructive politics but not "evil" for sure. You are opening a big, great window. Thanks a million.
When a Dutch person says that the stairs are steep, trust me, they must be steep indeed.
Greetings and a huge thank you for all the work you put into these amazing videos!
Wow! What an incredible video. Mohammed is quite the hospitable tour guide. God bless him for his kindness. My favorite parts were with the children, seeing the day old goats, seeing the man climb the palm tree to get dates, seeing a tent being built in the desert and everyone eating inside... so many great highlights. Thank you Noraly, safe travels!
👍😊
Now I've seen how to climb a palm tree. Note, I didn't say 'learned.'
Thank you once again,every episode is filled with superb views and comments,your editing is extremely good,never a dull moment,your kindness attracts likewise people,stay safe
From ER medical emergencies to watching tonight's episode of yours, Noraly!
And boom! You had a an amazing "hot" Iraq desert tour, to making new friends, young and old, from smooth ride to check points stop ever now & then. Adrenaline pumping, wow!
Mohammed is also having the time of his life to be of great help and tour guide/translator, which had somehow made things a bit smoother.
Looking forward to the Baghdad ride... Till the next video 😊
Now, I'll go back to my ER adrenaline rush
ان محمد يقوم بكل شيء مجانا انه كرم الشعب العراقي
@almusawemurtada Yes, with happiness and pride showing his town, his culture & heritage to the world. Kudos to Mahammed
So far this is the best part of the journey loved the tour you had with Muhammad. You're such an inspiration to billions across the globe. We love you Norally
Yeah "the best part" of the journey is when you don't see a single local woman or girl? Don't you think that this is a bit odd?
