If all of us approached each day with the cheerfulness, optimism and sense of wonder that Noraly displays in her videos, the planet would be a much better place. Travel safe Itchy Boots.. and thanks for the ride.
I don’t know how you’re going to top this series, Noraly. The majesty of our world is perfectly illustrated in your travels through Africa thus far. Every turn provides a new learning experience. Your pre-trip off road training back home has paid off tremendously! It has given you the tools to really explore this amazing land. As much as I want you to continue the Argentina-to-Alaska series, this is absolutely terrific in itself. From Canada, happy trails!
It's been so pleasantly surprising to see that people are honestly just people and how nice they have all been to you. It gives me hope for the future of mankind. Excellent video at always.
A big part of my enjoyment of travel are the smells associated with an area. I can only imagine your appreciation of these unusual landscapes. Today's accommodations are my favorite so far! Fascinating. Thank you!!
@@Rachel.4644 oh yes, it would be wonderful to smell the towns, the landscapes, the sweet soapy scents in the supermarket and the fragrances and spices at the local market....
@ZitherBeast yes we "civilised" cultures have done a very good job of screwing pretty well everything up haven't we. We could learn so much from these people who live simple lives. Everyone Noraly meets has a huge smile.
It’s pronounced “bay oh bab”. As a geologist, you’d be interested to learn that the very early geologists in Southern Africa were able to determine the composition of the underlying soil by inspecting the termite mounds. I believe that a few of the very large diamond mines in Botswana were found when they saw kimberlite in the termite mounds.
This geologist finds that fascinating... and now that I think of it, I believe I've actually heard of a few gems being found in termite mounds. I once ran into them in Bolivia.... but nothing of note in those mounds.
This brings back so many memories. I live in Cape Town and have been to 95% of the places you have visited in South Africa and I took my family to Namibia 2010. We followed 95% the same route as you to Epupa Falls. I discovered your channel half way through your visit in South Africa. I then restarted Season 5 from Episode 1 and caught up. Then I started with Season 1. Your videos are absolutely fantastic. Stunning camera work, narration and editing. So envious of your amazing adventures. Love your positive approach to every situation. Look forward every day to you next installment.
I never knew this existed! And I live in Southern Africa!! I just called the kids to show them this tribal part of Namibia. Marvelous. Thank you so much. 🤯😀😀
Loving these videos of a country that I knew nothing about before you took us there. Thank you so much Noraly from this 74 year old great grandmother in Ohio, USA.
Just wanted to say that after finding out about your channel I took lessons in April and this happy dude passed his motorcycle exam yesterday woop woop! 😎
Every time I sit down for another of Noraly's I tell myself I'm just going to fast forward through because I don't have 20+ minutes to spare, and I'll be damned if I find myself at the end having watched the entire thing without skipping a frame. Those shots with the drone are just breath-taking.
"Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell" - (John Denver) Watching this video reminded me of watching with amazement, Jacques-Yves Cousteau's "Silent World" and the adventures he used to narrate of from under the sea.
you know i was thanking the same thing only i was going to use her bike's name so i was scrolling down to see if anyone mentioned it i forgot the name and i found your comment and a perfect one it is
I can see by the look on your face when you arrive at different destinations you have been bitten by the bug of Africa. It is a special place and I think you are going to to find it difficult to go back to Europe. So nice to see you enjoying it and looking forward to you visiting the Kunene River.
I have never been to Africa but I had the same feeling when coming back from various places in Asia. I guess it's normal to start seeing the flaws of your own society if you come in touch with other cultures. We can all learn from each other and introduc the good of others to remove our own bad.
Lost for words today. What utterly beautiful landscape again, and it seems some of the real heart of Africa seems to still be alive there. Lovely, lovely, lovely!
Wow, what a ride. For twenty one minutes, I step out of my confines to travel with you Noraly. I feel the same spirituality that you do while traveling through these beautiful lands. I think the beautiful woman on the road where thirsty and were asking for water. I absolutely loved the donkey racing, the spirit of a challenge is everywhere. Thank you Noraly.
Congratulations for the nice job you're doing. High level of filming, interesting content, a window on different cultures and places around the world! National Geographic has a new competitor 😁 Salam from Algiers.
Really like it when you zoom in and show detail besides of these wide drone shots. Great baobab tree. Like seeing interaction with people, animals and everything that lives. Good luck!
Thank You for sharing your journey. With all the unrest around the globe your videos provide a welcome distraction. Your videos show that the world is much more peaceful than what is portrayed on the news. Can’t wait to see the next video 🤗
Have said it before and will say it again your positivity and enthusiasm for almost everything is addictive, along with the awesome content and filming, it’s our nightly watch during dinner and if theres no episode uploaded were at a loose end, ride safe. Sending good vibes from the BVI🌴 🏍💨👍
Likewise and I too have never been back ! I was further east near Shacks and Eenhana To see her ride the roads so carefree and happy is great because I spent many long hot hours sweeping them for mines ! I was 19 yrs old ! How times change hey ?
Noraly, thank you so much for the drone footage of the Waterfalls, simply stunningly beautiful in an otherwise desolate landscape. I love green lush rolling hills, etc. But I have spent many years in the desert. The desert has it's own beauty and one that can never be equaled. It is a beauty that is felt rather than seen. I am sure you will know what I mean.
Dear Noraly. I feel like quoting from my favorite movie “Forrest Gump”: “I wish I was there with you” and Forrest replies: “You were”! You prefer to drive yourself, but I really felt today that I was with you. (in spirit). Thank you for a nice trip with exciting folklore and lovely pictures, and as always; Best regards from Denmark 🇩🇰
Noraly. Every one of these recent videos have increased my interest in this fascinating country. It is unfortunate that the nomadic peoples have had to drastically alter their lives and lifestyle due to long term drought, no doubt due, at least partially to climate change. I have read a bit about the Himba people and their unique culture. Excellent video as always. Thanks. Stay safe. Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Noraly, thank you for another wonderful video. Namibia is the land of dreams for me. Of all the places you have ridden, this is the most interesting and wonder inducing.
Thx Mr B&D. In Afrikaans (South African Dutch) it is "Mo^re". And in True Dutch it is "Morgen". In Xhosa (Mr Mandela's native language) it is "Molo". So a person van see how languages influence one another. The Zulu's who had limited contact with Europeans have nothing like "Mor..." 4 "morning"
@@davidvanniekerk356 As a kid at OM (Oranjemund), I was always eavesdropping on the very, very courteous greeting ritual two Ovambo men used when they met up on any street. It included the custom handshake and then I recall the main words used as being ‘Molo!’ followed by the response ‘Nawa!, imbiritu’ , Eh naanga! ….and so the conversation developed. Excuse the spelling and the dialogue.This is all I recall from a nearly forgotten memory from way back in the 1960’s which today I still find amazing in that it reaffirms the bonds between two or more people from the same tribe living & working so far from their homes in Northern Namibia. Love that country! As kids we could earn £5 for every diamond we found out in the desert.Guess we and my buddies went after school each day….!
Good morning Noraly, it is 12:52 in the middle of the night and a big 👍's up. Not only are you taking us on an amazing journey, but we are also being educated about so many things...🙏
Giddy up Savannah! Wow Noraly...another winner video! What a way to see waterfalls. Like everyone, I never get enough of seeing what Namibia has in store for your adventure. I’m sure you slept with one eye open 😉 Have fun,🏍🇺🇸
Amazing, that upside-down trees and those termites mountain. Incredible isn't it, just keep it up Noraly. Amaze us with your amazing videos. Drive safe Stay healthy GOD BLESS YOU.
Another wonderfully interesting video Noraly. Your boldness and cheerfulness is so admirable. Keep travelling through Namibia. Don't stop. It's very enjoyable. Thanks for the informative commentary and beautiful camera shots. Safe journey further.
So nice to see that side of Namibia again...we were there in 2019. I see you are staying at Camp Cornie tonight...very nice. A few years ago before that built that nice gravel road it was really a mission to get from Ruacana to Epupa. And o yes....Noraly.....I see a namesake (well surnamewise) ..Tatjana Schoenmaker wins gold at the Olympics for South Africa and set a new world record!
I (a 69 year old man from Sweden) have been following your adventures from season 1 (binge watched that one!), onwards with increasing awe! Your travel logs are becoming just as good as a much more expensive TV travel series! Very well done! The drone shots give an outstanding overview of the spectacular landscapes and your geological "lessons" are just on point! On top of that you show us parts of the world that are not commonly shown otherwise. Oh, and compared between season 1 and now your accent has cleraly changed from Dutch to almost South African. That shows your ability to adapt to local circumstances, good on you. Have you had a chance to meet the Himba tribe off camera? They seem to be a very friendly and hospitable tribe from the small snippets shown on YT. Keep up the very good work and travel safely!
😂 yes we grew up,racing to the postie for the latest edition 🧐,and the Reader's Digest...the word power was serious,with Woman's weekly, Ireland's Own,Old Moore's Almanac etc...we didn't lick it off stones,off pages !
It's always great to see you interacting with locals and those Himba gals are just lovely. At the ending drone shot, I was expecting to see some crazy crocodile leap out of the river to try and eat the drone.
She filmed those ladies for clicks then rode off as all westerners always do. Those are people not wildebeests in Serengeti. Only person I know who put an effort into knowing those people is that guy from Best Ever Food Review Show. Yeah. A food channel does a better job in knowing a people than these "travel" channels
@@brianm5753 I can tell your videos do a much better job than Noraly’s…oh wait you don’t have any and ZERO subscribers say a lot about you too. Carry on in your mother’s basement; this is an adult conversation.
@@rockinroxxi3710 I'm an African who isn't satisfied with how these people film my people without consent or context. Just film a bunch of kids in torn clothes on the side of the road and keep moving. Your point of view is petty anyways. There's no way you'd understand my concern. I was talking to whoever clicks your comment to see the replies. We don't have basements here and people in Africa have to actually work for a living because most of us don't have inherited wealth to fall back to when wealth in subscriber numbers doesn't work out. I'd say what I do for a living but it would be a disgrace to the profession since I already engaged you to this point
What beautiful people. I love the tiny ones. Oh so cute and sweet. I love this country, so fascinating. I love that they have kept their customs. Thanks again Noraly. Great video. 👍👍
Another day in the life of Noraly! What great passion you have for the people and their country. Really enjoyed this installment of your adventure. Ride safe!
Watching the burrows run reminded me of years ago when a pony that was kept in a pasture alone had made its escape. It ran beside me for about 100 yards before stopping. I sometimes wonder if the animals that run as you approach are entertaining themselves instead of running in fear. Just a thought. Thanks for always finding beauty when most don’t. Safe travels.
Yes here in Thailand I get chased by dogs while out cycling, and yes some just run beside me not showing any aggression, and like the donkeys maybe enjoy the run.
The 17:30 to 18:30 scenery is absolutely stunning... you and others travel vloggers let us see parts of the world that we would neverr have seen otherwise.... who's planning a trip to Namibia? Thank you Noraly...!!
@@reggoldsmith2232 apology is not needed. Misunderstandings can easily happen when people don't know each other. I agree that this is the best site and I have been following her from the beginning. Peace and love!
I'm glad you caught that guy at the petrol station before he could put diesel in your tank! In the late, Neil Peart's book, "Ghost Rider" he's traveling by motorcycle across Canada and someone somewhere accidently put diesel in his BMW GS. I can't remember all the details, but I remember him spending a fair amount of time and money getting the problem corrected before he could go on. Safe travels.
I've seen it done a couple of times. Diesel will not harm a gasoline engine as a matter of fact if it's a 50/50 mixture the engine will still run albeit very poorly. If you happen to fill a Diesel engine with gasoline then you got problems and could permanently damage the engine. I read a couple of Neil Peart's book and he was definitely a true Motorcyclist like Itchy.
I never get bored or tired of Noraly's videos they could be one hour long and I'd say the same thing, although making them that long is time intensive I know so I am not complaining. Knowing there were crocs around 15 plus feet long would not make for a good night's sleep in a tent for myself.
Where is Petrol......Petrol is here! The sweet small dude in red... The donkey-jockeys so happy.. The beautyful girls on the road..Great drone shots again. To see happy people makes me happy. thanks
Form when I was a kid at High School I have always held the Baobab tree in high regard. I then read Wilfred Thesiger later on and learned about the Himba tribes and consider them extremely proud, beautiful and peaceful, Incidently, if you look at the structure of the termite mounds and their cooling mechanisms, it has been copied and used in the eastgate centre in Zimbabwe. Thanks Noraly for another great video!
Oh, magnificent woman, Noraly. You have gone farther than Marco Polo and Vasco de Gama combined. Extraordinary series to watch, the best of the very best. Godspeed.
thanks for allowing me to travel with you. You have taken me to places I will never go and showed me the world. You are an amazing person.. Cheers Scotty Canberra. Australia
Can't tell you how fortunate I am to have found your channel, it was just a random thing. I'll just use the word you say over and over again to describe you. Incredible!!!!!
@@dorcasndokosho5248 If that is true it would have been nice to see her give something back to the people she shoots footage of and thus makes a living of.
They are magnificent if the Kunene is in full flood. Unfortunately the flow is controlled by the Angolan's who have a dam just on their side of the border by Ruacana. Maybe Noraly will show where the Ruacana falls are supposed to be. (They are most of the year dry due to the dam😢.)
Dont take a chance with fuel in those remote areas of Namibia, rather keep your tank and fuel bags full at all times, you definitely dont want to run out in that desolate area.
That is the best advise anyone can give Noraly. I was going to say the same thing. You also have to maybe keep filter nearby, it's easy to pickup dirty fuel.
Through your travel and through your eyes we could see this beautiful planet that we live in and the beautiful people of different regions of the world. Wish we don't destroy it any further. Wonderful videos and your wonderful smile. Stay safe
The baobab tree is also known as the "kremetart boom" (cream of tartar tree) in Afrikaans as the pulp, dry, tastes just like cream of tartar. I've tried it and it is just like that, a little tart, great vitamin C, etc etc. A superfood!
Fai la cosa più bella che chiunque possa desiderare, viaggiare, conoscere nuove persone, avere contatti con nuove culture, ma soprattutto stare a contatto con la natura e lontana dalla civiltà che ci sta uccidendo. Brava continua cosi non fermarti mai, guardando i tuoi video io viaggio insieme a te e sono felice quanto te. Do the most beautiful thing anyone could wish for, travel, meet new people, have contact with new cultures, but above all be in contact with nature and away from the civilization that is killing us. Brava continues so never stop, watching your videos I travel with you and I am as happy as you are.
If all of us approached each day with the cheerfulness, optimism and sense of wonder that Noraly displays in her videos, the planet would be a much better place. Travel safe Itchy Boots.. and thanks for the ride.
Well written.
Amen to that!

Thanks to Itchy Boots,,,, now you can ride a motorcycle. Good luck to you friend and GOD BLESS YOU.

Let the adventure begin...
Every time I sit down for another of Noraly's I tell myself I'm just going to fast forward through because I don't have 20+ minutes to spare, and I'll be damned if I find myself at the end having watched the entire thing without skipping a frame. Those shots with the drone are just breath-taking.
Lala palms and Boabab - or "kremertart" as we call it in Afrikaans. The tree is not dead. It is very much alive, but it is now winter.
Someone will soon scratch out Itchy Boots on one of those dry palms..and sell it to you
:-)
I would love to see these trees one day with the leaves on! 🤩
@@ItchyBoots Baobab seeds make for a good snack too :-)
Just to brag about how old I am, I remember the Ruacana Falls before a hydro-electric dam was built there in the mid 1970s.
It's a wonderful Friday and time for another Itchy Boots adventure. Let's go!
Mopanie, A small town in south africa north of the soutpansberg, had its origenal post office inside a boabab tree.
That must have been a huge baobab! 😱
If you google "bar in baobab tree" you will find images of a bar that was inside one.
Unfortunateley that tree is no more.

Liked the drone shots of the falls.
The lack of rain is so pronounced when you see drone shots of falls. You must be inside Tropic of Cancer to spot ‘Upside down tree'
Just when you think it can`t get any better, Noraly comes along to show what a wonderful World it truly is... :-)))))) xx
I appreciate your reverence for the Baobab tree. It’s a shame that people find it acceptable to deface such a beautiful piece of nature.
In Australia we use an East African word: boab. Which I think is what has been changed by Europeans to baobab.

I look forward to every episode, brings me places I'll probably never go and the production brings peace and joy to my day, thanks Noraly!
It's always great to see you interacting with locals and those Himba gals are just lovely. At the ending drone shot, I was expecting to see some crazy crocodile leap out of the river to try and eat the drone.
She filmed those ladies for clicks then rode off as all westerners always do. Those are people not wildebeests in Serengeti. Only person I know who put an effort into knowing those people is that guy from Best Ever Food Review Show. Yeah. A food channel does a better job in knowing a people than these "travel" channels

I can tell your videos do a much better job than Noraly’s…oh wait you don’t have any and ZERO subscribers say a lot about you too. Carry on in your mother’s basement; this is an adult conversation.
@@rockinroxxi3710 I'm an African who isn't satisfied with how these people film my people without consent or context. Just film a bunch of kids in torn clothes on the side of the road and keep moving. Your point of view is petty anyways. There's no way you'd understand my concern. I was talking to whoever clicks your comment to see the replies. We don't have basements here and people in Africa have to actually work for a living because most of us don't have inherited wealth to fall back to when wealth in subscriber numbers doesn't work out. I'd say what I do for a living but it would be a disgrace to the profession since I already engaged you to this point
@@brianm5753 that is a harsh assumption on your part, one that I don’t share as Noraly has shown respect to everyone she meets.
@@Nick-Gye Respect she shows. I'm talking about filming people
What beautiful people. I love the tiny ones. Oh so cute and sweet. I love this country, so fascinating. I love that they have kept their customs. Thanks again Noraly. Great video. 👍👍
Noraly: Wow look at the size of that termite mound.
Namibia: Hold my Aardvark.
And there is much more of it underground, it works like a giant human lung and regulating the temperature to be constant.
:D
Another day in the life of Noraly! What great passion you have for the people and their country. Really enjoyed this installment of your adventure. Ride safe!
Watching the burrows run reminded me of years ago when a pony that was kept in a pasture alone had made its escape. It ran beside me for about 100 yards before stopping. I sometimes wonder if the animals that run as you approach are entertaining themselves instead of running in fear. Just a thought.
Thanks for always finding beauty when most don’t. Safe travels.
fear.
Yes here in Thailand I get chased by dogs while out cycling, and yes some just run beside me not showing any aggression, and like the donkeys maybe enjoy the run.
The 17:30 to 18:30 scenery is absolutely stunning... you and others travel vloggers let us see parts of the world that we would neverr have seen otherwise.... who's planning a trip to Namibia?
Thank you Noraly...!!
Well done Noralee, this is the best travel show ever, I so look forward to all your episodes and do appreciate the effort you put in. Manu thanks
I like your new way of spelling her name.
@@jonam7589 Hi, Yes sorry about that, it still is the best travel show I've seen in years
@@reggoldsmith2232 apology is not needed. Misunderstandings can easily happen when people don't know each other. I agree that this is the best site and I have been following her from the beginning. Peace and love!
Truly a wonderful experience for you, and for the viewers as well. Cheers and enjoy
That drown footage was just amassing! All I can say is WOW!
Nice ride Noraly and I am so glad you have a drone with you...... its like the cherry on the top of a cake 🎂 every time. THANKS
I'm glad you caught that guy at the petrol station before he could put diesel in your tank! In the late, Neil Peart's book, "Ghost Rider" he's traveling by motorcycle across Canada and someone somewhere accidently put diesel in his BMW GS. I can't remember all the details, but I remember him spending a fair amount of time and money getting the problem corrected before he could go on. Safe travels.
R.I.P. Neil Peart.( Drummer for Canadian band "Rush").
I've seen it done a couple of times. Diesel will not harm a gasoline engine as a matter of fact if it's a 50/50 mixture the engine will still run albeit very poorly. If you happen to fill a Diesel engine with gasoline then you got problems and could permanently damage the engine. I read a couple of Neil Peart's book and he was definitely a true Motorcyclist like Itchy.
You'd think he'd have known better, Neil could just have siphoned most of it out and refilled with petrol - job done!
I never get bored or tired of Noraly's videos they could be one hour long and I'd say the same thing, although making them that long is time intensive I know so I am not complaining. Knowing there were crocs around 15 plus feet long would not make for a good night's sleep in a tent for myself.
Where is Petrol......Petrol is here!
The sweet small dude in red... The donkey-jockeys so happy..
The beautyful girls on the road..Great drone shots again.
To see happy people makes me happy.
thanks
IT REALLY GIVES YOU A NEW PROSPECTIVE ON LIFE FOR SURE!!!
Bingwatched your Channel the whole day, and now you’re uploading a video 🤩 thnx for the content noraly, stay save 💪🏍
Form when I was a kid at High School I have always held the Baobab tree in high regard. I then read Wilfred Thesiger later on and learned about the Himba tribes and consider them extremely proud, beautiful and peaceful, Incidently, if you look at the structure of the termite mounds and their cooling mechanisms, it has been copied and used in the eastgate centre in Zimbabwe.
Thanks Noraly for another great video!
Fan of Thesiger.
Oh, magnificent woman, Noraly. You have gone farther than Marco Polo and Vasco de Gama combined. Extraordinary series to watch, the best of the very best. Godspeed.
Noraly, I absolutely love going on your adventures with you this season. Been with you since the beginning❣ A big thank you❤
Oh Nōråly .
What a gorgeous waterfall.
Nice breakfast.
A brief Tribal tour.
Good content
thanks for allowing me to travel with you. You have taken me to places I will never go and showed me the world. You are an amazing person.. Cheers Scotty Canberra. Australia
Another fascinating video and lesson from Noraly It's a rainy afternoon here in the UK nowhere near as warm as on your ride Stay Safe Noraly xxx
Can't tell you how fortunate I am to have found your channel, it was just a random thing. I'll just use the word you say over and over again to describe you. Incredible!!!!!
You are so pretty, especially your eyes. Please don’t forget there’s many fans in Korea. Always be happy and careful. Hyuk KIM from Korea. 🙏
Good to see savannah up and about in the desert going strong with love from Zambia 🇿🇲👉🆗🇿🇲
The Himba lady was asking for something to eat.
😥😥😥😥
I looked twice trying to guess if she was asking about water or about the GoPro. Both gueeses wrong then ...
To be specific she was asking for food.
@@dorcasndokosho5248 If that is true it would have been nice to see her give something back to the people she shoots footage of and thus makes a living of.
@@kizmaiaz7671 To be fair, she didn't understand the gestures of the Himba ladies. I am sure if she knew she would have given them something.
Wow! Amazing drone pictures and amazing ride. Really amazing culture diversity all from the amazing Noraly.
17:44 that has to be the most unique waterfalls I've ever seen where it's a thin gorge.
They are magnificent if the Kunene is in full flood. Unfortunately the flow is controlled by the Angolan's who have a dam just on their side of the border by Ruacana. Maybe Noraly will show where the Ruacana falls are supposed to be. (They are most of the year dry due to the dam😢.)
No barier of language no barrier of colour nothing else in the mind full day ride and at the end peace of mind hats off to you norali
Dont take a chance with fuel in those remote areas of Namibia, rather keep your tank and fuel bags full at all times, you definitely dont want to run out in that desolate area.
That is the best advise anyone can give Noraly. I was going to say the same thing. You also have to maybe keep filter nearby, it's easy to pickup dirty fuel.
I absolutely love wild and desolate places! Thank you for taking us along! Hello from Georgia USA
Today Tatjana Schoenmaker made history for SA at the Olympics in Japan!
That was amazing!!!!
Through your travel and through your eyes we could see this beautiful planet that we live in and the beautiful people of different regions of the world. Wish we don't destroy it any further. Wonderful videos and your wonderful smile. Stay safe
The baobab tree is also known as the "kremetart boom" (cream of tartar tree) in Afrikaans as the pulp, dry, tastes just like cream of tartar. I've tried it and it is just like that, a little tart, great vitamin C, etc etc. A superfood!
Stunning, as always! And perfect music to match, thank you.
i was listening ABBA. i stopped the music and start watching the video.
Noraly exits ABBA guesthouse. :))
its like living life of adventure vicariously through you for twenty five minutes every other day. What a ride !!!
Noraly, if you pass through into Angola stay on the dirt roads,there are still unexploded ordinances in the veld!
(unexploded!)
I think she will find it very difficult to find good accommodation in Angola. And yes...landmines aplenty...
@@deonzar Hoi Deon,was jy daar tydens die oorlog?
@@fredswanepoel2425 Nee Fred ek het Angola getoer saam met Koos Moorcroft in 2010
Fai la cosa più bella che chiunque possa desiderare, viaggiare, conoscere nuove persone, avere contatti con nuove culture, ma soprattutto stare a contatto con la natura e lontana dalla civiltà che ci sta uccidendo. Brava continua cosi non fermarti mai, guardando i tuoi video io viaggio insieme a te e sono felice quanto te.
Do the most beautiful thing anyone could wish for, travel, meet new people, have contact with new cultures, but above all be in contact with nature and away from the civilization that is killing us. Brava continues so never stop, watching your videos I travel with you and I am as happy as you are.
