I say we all, unanimously, declare Noraly as a world ambassador. I would've never seen the inside of Iraq if it werent for her.
I say we leave her alone to be free.
@@cenetamiller7185 Noraly is a Free Spirit with a beautiful Smile!
HERE HERE! A fine suggestion for Noraly!
@@cenetamiller7185 Its in our hearts that Noraly is a world ambassador a sacred way shower to show us the world. Were parts of earth we can never visit or see unless if it wasn't for Noraly. Blessings🏍🏍🏍🏍 and for Frankie and Alaska too.🙏
I second that! Brave women!
This should be nominated as one of the best channels on UA-cam
Well there’s nothing on tv anymore! once upon a time this would have been a Nat Geo programme, taking an entire camera crew, famous presenter, travel arrangements, etc. Instead we have a brave and friendly gal with her phone and GoPro on a motorbike!!!! Such a great way to see the world.
I completely agree. The best!
@@Sujowi Yeah, tv is dead for me. Itchy is now essential viewing. One of my favourite youtube channels now.
Absolutely, yes
TOTALLY TOTALLY AGREE!!!
The only images I know from Iraq are from the war. Thank you for showing how beautiful this country and its people are ❤
Ya we cannot believe or rely on the news, media for the truth and full facts about anything or anywhere
Kurdistan
@@drivingbro maybe if everyone you meet is inhospitable and rude; it's not them but you. Are you a nice person?
@@Maleegi what is the person even trying to say?
IRAQ❤
iraq people are generous indeed, i remember going to the pharmacy i was sick, the owner refused me to pay , this happened as well at the restaurant where i went for dinner, i was welcomed as a guest instead of the customer! i cherish the tremendous hospitality of Iraqis , the give and forget. their generosity is from the heart
شكراً لك،
اهلا وسهلا بك في العراق دائماً 🤍🇮🇶
Itchy boots deserves some sort of world ambassador award for showing us that friendship and kindness exists everywhere.
yes, she does, it is amazing what she has shown us.
@@alexkruyer I recommend her as world president .
I believe she needs some sort of recognition for her bravery, stamina, motivation, and kindness. However, don’t be fooled by those who won’t accept her money. I don’t believe that it’s so much the hospitality but more so that they don’t want to accept money from women. Keep in mind that women in many mid-east countries can not go shopping without a man present, can not buy a car without a man present, can not do many things without a man present. Therefore they will not accept your money because you are not with a man. It seems noble until you realize the root. Even the man In the first episode told her that woman in the country can’t go places without a man present.
Noraly certainly has provided an excellent example of how to adventure travel. Her educational skills exceed those of most others.
Absolutely agree!
Hi Noraly, for almost 6 years you have shown us how beautiful our planet is and how nice the people are. For that I just want to say: Thank you very much 🙏
@@entersandman4467 Very true.
Noraly 🙏🕊️🙏 A TRUE Ambassador of 🌎🌍🌏 People ‼️
🌹💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🌹
🤗😘

She make's my day every time she releases a new video
Das Selbe von mir. Vielen Dank Noraly, Sven aus Deutschland
Thank you Noraly, love from England.
Noraly is an antidote to the news🥰
So true😊.
Yes!
Great comment!🥰
Politically, iraq is an unstable country. This has nothing to do with the single person being nice to you
I am happy to say that Noraly *is* the real news that people are kind if you treat them with a smile and respect!
This is the best travel channel on UA-cam!
Amazing.
So nice to have an insider look at Iraq in such peaceful context, the hospitality and kindness of people is always so welcome and surprising.
Its not Iraq.
It is Great Iraq .
The visit to the Yazidi religious centre touched me deeply - especially in light of the recent genocide (which the militarily capable states were unable to prevent).
It looks incredible 🎉
@@Razzaqabuali Habibi, this is Kurdistan not Iraq
The yellow car number means a car designated for cargo...and the white number means a private car.
Cool system!
@@AlbasraAliraq same as in Denmark
Same as indonesia, white or black for private, yellow for public or cargo vehicle
i saw pick-ups with white plates, so not yellow as for cargo, and other cars with blue and red plates...
like the Netherlands (some what). Blue plates for cargo, human cargo = taxi. White plates for cargo = any trailer.
First you blew us away with how beautiful Turkey was, now Iraq and its hospitality and friendly people. You are breaking down perceptions that we back in America have on that part of the world. Thank you.
I'm embarrassed and ashamed, to be honest.
Turkish hospitality is famous. European tourists know this very well.🙂
Unfortunately, there is no reason to have that perception. If you speak to any veteran who served in Iraq or the Middle East, they will almost certainly say the hospitality and friendliness of the local population is superior to any other location they have been.
@@InTheKno Like I said, Noraly presents these countries as she sees them ... not through American media. Politics is just another term for greed, hate and ignorant arrogance.
@@randyroberts4239 you don't need to. The American people are not at fault. They were mislead by evil forces. On behalf of not just Iraq but the whole world, we thank you for electing President Trump again.
I must say the hospitality of the Iraqi people is humbling. I love your connection with the world around you. Take care and keep the videos coming. Thankyou !!
I can say for myself and I’m sure nearly all of your subscribers you take us on a journey to locations 99.99% of us will not have the opportunity to visit. Thank you so much!
True.
Well said.
You pay back this hospitality by broadcasting their good deeds, warm hearts and the beauty of their country to the world.
@@dlabor1965 or shes just easy on the eyes and simps will simp. 😂
@@blastedontape That's mean. Watch what she puts up with at some of the borders ... no directions, no signposts ... a positive nightmare of disorganisation in most instances. The border guards, all males, some ogling her until she dissuades them by her friendliness and natural charm. I would have thrown a fit at times (well perhaps not publicly as that would not get me anywhere) but she continues to smile and say thank you. She has more courage in her little finger than most people I know.
Iraqis and Kurds lovely people. I've met a lot of them. Their hospitality and friendliness is lovely to see. The west could learn a lot from their approach how to value life. Beautiful video.
Wow! how many people are eating 🥰 such hospitality . I love this place already. Thank you Noraly for always bringing us along!!
-Remi- Perth, Australia
What Noraly said about all the side dishes I was suddenly remembered about this girl who had come to our class in the 90's as a refugee from Iraq during Saddam Hussein's regime. We became friends and I played over at her house, I remember there always being so much food on the table, also in the middle of the day, and different bowls and plates with all kinds of things. Her mom would always urge us to eat something, especially if we said we wanted to go outside. I don't know what I had, but it was all delicious. (ps. I'm also from the Netherlands).
Thank you for your sweet memories of Kurdish hospitality🌷
How do you manage to eat so much food 😂
Lovely memories.
Thank you so much for visiting Lalish Temple 14:00, the heart of the Yazidi faith, and for sharing such valuable information about our culture and traditions. Your visit means a lot to us, and we appreciate you showing the beauty of our sacred place to the world. I hope you enjoyed the experience and felt the spirit of our hospitality. ❤❤❤
what a beautiful place 😮
@ It truly is a beautiful and sacred place, full of history, culture, and spirituality. I’m so glad you appreciate it!
I used to think my county was beautiful but now I don't think it is compared to yours . One day I will visit Iraq ❤
@@Outofitchic Thank you so much for your kind words! Every country has its own beauty, and I’m sure your country is amazing, too. But I would be so happy for you to visit Iraq one day and experience its beauty, culture, and hospitality in person. You are always welcome here ❤️
I'm glad she visited. Its a beautiful Temple. I had never heard of it before.
This video has me questioning my media-influenced views of the world. How could I have ever imagined this level of hospitality in Iraq. Iraq? I got to wake up from this dream.
Don't mind the CNN or BBC
We know nothing :)
I have read some old books, and in all arab countries it was compulsory to be nice to all people, especially in their 30-40 days of holidays. At that time, you would feed and give shelter to the guy who even killed your son! But then came the ottoman turks and destroyed all muslim true traditions :)
The words - nobility and hospitality were really valid there
It's Kurdistan part of Iraq. From all videos I've seen. They are great people. Every kind and welcoming folks.
Glad you have awakened from MSM……the world is a lovely place with beautiful people …..embrace it…..🙏🙏🙏
Make a visit. You won’t regret it.
What breathtaking scenery, amassing hospitality, friendly and polite people, and so clean.
Thank you Noraly. Seeing the kindness of people is restoring my faith in humanity. As an American it has taken a beating lately.
I and our peshmerga protected this monastery against isis. We protected many families that we rescued from Mosul area
@@blueplanet1048 god bless you, thank you for your bravery!
Thank you for your service hero
I just looked up the meaning of "peshmerga." You are very brave and have the respect of this United States citizen.
@@Test-bk2po thank you for your kind words I appreciate it. It’s a duty to protect if one can. It was extremely dangerous and we had many challenges of course and we lost many people in that area in front line. I myself got very close many times to almost lose my life but i knew even if I die it would be for a good cause to protect the people, we knew if they pass us it would be disaster for civilians ( there was many civilians housed in that monastery, later we evacuated them to the back )so we vowed not to let them pass unless we are all gone. Thankfully we were victories at the end.
@@Sassannid thank you for your kind words. I see it as a duty i don’t see myself as a hero, if i can protect people why shouldn’t I do it. It’s comforting to know that I could save lives, the reward is in my heart for me.
All I knew of Iraq was war, violence and hate. You have restored my faith in humanity. Thank you, Noraly, for a better view of a once terror ridden state. I salute for your courage.
you will have to do some more research. Where America invades, the country always has oil. the government of america is the biggest terrorist.
I believe she is still traveling through Kurdistan here.
@@GM-cq6ez have you found it to be different there?
So many memories-good and bad. Thank you.

this Chanel should be a must see in classrooms to get people out of ignorance about other cultures and the great people all over the world!
I had to watch it all twice because once just wasn't enough. The channel that always puts a big smile on my face, even before I've watched anything. Noraly is the perfect antidote to all the bad news that engulfs us every day. No matter where she goes she sees the best in everything and everyone and nothing gets her down.
Wow,I thought the Ghanaian was one of the most hospitable people on this planet but the Kurdish people take hospitality to a whole different level.
Nuff respect
Bless up 🙏🙏❤️
Thanks for the education.
Take care out there.
Noraly, you continue to be an inspiration to so many of us who have preconceived ideas of the countries you are visiting. I’m so happy that you are being treated in the manner you deserve. The hospitality you are experiencing is certainly an indicator that we must never prejudge entire populations based on the media and political leanings of others. It does seem that I have been guilty of doing that. I’m still wary for you and will be more at ease when you have completed your travels through areas that are ‘traditionally’ unfriendly. Stay safe and keep on being the absolute best ambassador EVER. You truly a LEGEND…❤❤Rick
As an Iraqi who had to flee the country because of war. It breaks my heart to see those kind people are being controlled by unwanted people in power. No where in the world you will find the hospitality and kindness like those people. Thanks for showing this to the world
It`s always the people in power who ruin a country. So sad.
@@Kratosss-e5t love from Pakistan to Iraqi Muslims💔🥲
@Qousain-i5u why just one religion? All humans deserve love ❤️
It is interesting, the border police first looks at her passport, after examinig asks if she comes from America ( one would say by the ton of his voice and the look on his face that he does not like USA ), and then she says Holland...and he is surprised... I hardly doubt he understands the passport.. Anyway all the luck to the good iraki people and hopefuly they will be soon free
@vatafakmannone in the world like the USA governement
I said it before and I'll say it again, that smile is better than any passport to get you anywhere and anything!!
Absolutely!!!!
With that smile from a clever, engaging and charming person, hospitable responses are not a surprise ! 👍
She has an amazing sense of adventure! We see the beauty and exceptional hospitality of people she encounters. It is refreshing to see all the positive vibes in places that the mainstream media likes to portray as hell on earth. She really is a world goodwill ambassador.
It's refreshing to see how Kurdish Iraqi people look after female foreigners. A smile and a thank you goes a long way to break down barriers between different cultures. You are a true and wonderful person Noraly. Best regards Graeme ❤😊
Heartwarming hospitality of the people and amazing sights.
I have recommended this channel to all my friends.
I am from the USA and I am humbled by the ancient history in these places. My country is so young and most of us only speak one language. Thank you for sharing the world with us and the wonderful diversity of people and cultures!
Your country is not so young if you consider the tens of thousands of years Native Americans have been in living harmony with your continent.
Most people all over the world only speak one language, their own. English speakers are fortunate that if people do speak more than one language it very often is English.
And also iraq was destroyed by your country
@@Gribbo9999 Some American Indians interacted with each other peacefully through trade, kinship ties (intermarriage), but also through warfare over land or hunting grounds and cultural disputes in various geographical regions leading to tribal warfare.
Hmmm, I've got to take issue with most Americans only speaking one language. You give it the old college try at butchering English but whether the result can be called "speaking" a language in the true sense of the word is debatable.
Welcome to Iraq🇮🇶! thank you for share our rich culture, history, and hospitality with you. From our delicious cuisine to our beautiful landscapes, there's so much to explore and experience. I hope you find your time here enjoyable and memorable.
@@ripbozo215 🇮🇶 🤎🇭🇺 we all one
@@ripbozo215 There is no such a place
@@erebos_g2488 there is. Otherwise you wouldn't need a different visa for federal iraq.
It looks incredible 🎉
Yazidis follow many Hindu rituals, their culture is extremely similar to the Hindu culture.
We often get bad press about Iraq...so refreshing to see the charm of this country..
@robe461 the KRG and Iraq is seperate. Iraq is still a mess
In 2018 I traveled in Kurdistan. I had the same experience with not being able to pay for my things, due to the lovely hospitality of the people. Its a amazing place to be and I cant wait to go back!! Never felt this welcomed in any country till this day!!
@michaelfoley8530 exactly my experience too. Great people!
you are mistaken. these men do not swarm her because of hospitality. They have alterior motives for doing so. You have bad perception of reality.
when women smile and look in the eyes there to men they are giving invitation to something else. That is why they act like this.
it really seems like you’ve been there before, so you must be absolutely qualified to make a statement on this topic.
@@nicechock I've probably seen dozens of other male vloggers go to Iraqi Kurdistan and have the same exact experience, with not being able to pay for anything etc. Ironically your view I the skewed one in this case lmao. Get a grip myguy.
THE STONE WORK ON THE OLD BUILDINGS IS BEAUTIFUL AND THE FOOD LOOKS DELICIOUS AND HEALTHY. THE PEOPLE ARE SO KIND AND WELCOMING TOO!
شكرا الى اهلنا في الاقليم على استقبالها واعطائها الانطباع الجيد عن الشعب العراقي من شماله الى جنوبه محبين للجميع
Very nice.

I met many refugees from Iraq in my country Sweden all of them with the same kindnest , friendliness and dignity....
@@bengtina
My uncle is Swedish and I know the Swedish people very well friendly people and love for all my greetings to you good man
@@scottcates 🌺😘
I always get a bit emotional when i see such a hospitality like this. It's baffles me somehow. Good hearted people. And the food. Omg. Looks delicious with so many side dishes. The amount of food is impressive.
Talking about the tour. You are showing us a part of the world rarely been seen very often. I've learned a lot today.
I wish that today's video was longer, because it was so entertaining.
Happy and safe travels, Noraly.
I agree, Noraly is definately our ambassador to the world. She is an amazing lady, kind through out her travels and just incredible when she interacts with people from different countries. If she was in the UN she would straighten out most of the world’s problems. Since I have been watching her channel from way back I have seen so much kindness from her and from the people who she meets. Greatest person ever! She is the world’s Ambassador for sure. 👍😊❤️
Prachtig! Vorig jaar ben ik met mijn auto vanuit Koeweit naar Baghdad gereisd, ik ben het volledig met je eens wat betreft de gastvrijheid van het Iraakse volk. Wat een lieve mensen daar, zo ontzettend gastvrij, prachtige cultuur en schitterend land. Ik heb mij daar ook altijd volledig veilig gevoeld. Ik kan iedereen aanraden om dit mooie land te bezoeken!!!
شكراً جزيلاً لك،
واهلا بك دائماً في العراق، سأكون في ضيافتكم . 🤍🇮🇶
Noraly is such an amazing woman. Kindhearted, courageous and brave. She never leaves her smile off her beautiful face. I really enjoy her adventures around the world.
We always see and hear the negative of Iraq on the TV. Thank you for changing our perception of what is a beautiful country.
That's strange,isn't it? A country which probably was invaded by your country (US&UK) torn into pieces,millions of Iraqi killed and today the USA is stealing their oil and that of Syria with the help of the Kurds. That's why Noraly saw a military vehicle with an US flag.
N/less thanks to Noraly for the video,too.
@@selcukcilek555 pls stick to facts. there were not milions killed by us military.
What you hear about Iraq is mostly right. This is Kurdistan. It is different. Welcome
والله اجواء رائعه احب العراق انا من اليمن شكرآ اعلى فيديوو استمري للامام❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so moved by your courage! Thank you for sharing the world with us. Peace be with you!
The hospitality of the Kurdish people there is immense. Not taking money and offering things warms my heart ❤
Not only the Kurds, but all over Iraq. There was an Arab football championship two years ago in southern Iraq. Hundreds of thousands came for weeks and went back to their countries and not a single dollar was collected. I'm not kidding. Iraq is famous for its generosity. Thank you. For ur comment
This was teaching Of Islam❤
@@Qousain-i5u who stole her bike in Irbil then😂? Please ..people are nice everywhere religion has nothing to do with it.
Watching her videos...gives me hope in humanity.
I also lived in Kurdistan from 2017 to 2021, the people there are very nice, very rich in heart and also number 1 in faith. Salam walicm & namste Kurdistan ❤from Nepal 🇳🇵 🇳🇵
Yes, there is a huge difference between the government of a country and the people of a country. People are the best. Godspeed Noraly and Frankie.
That goes for almost every country in the world. People are always nicer and kinder on an individual level than the impression the media give you of a country.
13:08 Indeed ! It does not happen all over the world that one goes into a store to buy something and the store owner tells you..... No ! No need to pay for it. This is really hospitality on another level !!
In the West, if you don’t pay for your water you might get shot.
We, in the West may be considered first world but we have no kindness left towards our fellow humans, we can learn from third countries.
IRAQ through your eyes ......has opened my eyes, thank you Norally you keep on broadening our horizons. Bless you

@@xelefdev and yet its a region of Iraq. every single country on earth recognizes it as such
@@sumerianking4942 Yet it exists in spite of Iraq, which is my point. God willing it will be independent.
Thanks for showing Iraq in this light. They are such an amazing people.
I am a loyal follower of this page, one of the reasons is that you change the whole perspective of how I see the world. Who knew Iraq was that peaceful and beautiful 🤔? In Zambia, most of us think very different of Iraq all because of the wars and all. Thank you Noraly.😊🎉❤ With love from Zambia🇿🇲
*I'm one of the first to watch the new video. Hello everyone from Kazakhstan.*
Yes it is. And the guy that said "Hello" is someone from Kasachstan, wanting to Greet you. 😉
Much love to kazakhstan✨
I'm definitely looking forward to see the real side of the country it's people & break all the stereotypes ❤
The people have all been so very nice to Noraly. I must admit that I've been concerned for her safety. Her videos continue to prove me wrong. I think she may be safer there than in many places here in America. She's certainly being well fed! The food looks incredible!
Still nervous.
Middle eastern hospitality is on another level. I have to say it's such a wonderful experience spending time in the ME.
I absolutely love the architecture and history in this region. I hope it stays preserved for many centuries to come. Thank you for sharing your journey and the wonderful people along the way.
Let Noraly take you on her world wide motorcycle adventures, every episode is epic!
If you travel to the areas of Sulaimaniyya, Erbil, Dahuk or Halabja, you will definitely meet many friendly and helpful people. Dear Noraly, travel safely.😊❤
Wow! This is all so fascinating to me. I love those small picturesque villages. You totally blow my mind traveling solo in all those countries. I never went overseas so this is quite a treat to be traveling through your eyes. Thank you dear Lady Noralie. 🙏❤️✨
Sometimes when I go on holiday, I ride my motorcycle. I often get asked why don't I drive my car to get to my vacation spot. My answer is always the journey is the vacation. I get different smells, feel the temperature changes in the valleys and peaks and always the motorcycle sparks conversations with people I meet along the way. I travel and see/feel the roads along the way instead of just getting from point A to B like in a car. It's hard to explain to non-motorcycle people. The bike becomes a trusted travel friend like I suppose a horse did to people in the past.
When I retired several years ago, I needed something to do, so I built from the ground up a hot rod. I is a 1923 Model T Ford. It has a big block Chevy engine. I have a windshield and small doors to get in and out, and a canvas top. I love to drive it around in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Not so much in the winter. It is definitely a conversation starter. Never do I go driving it around that I do not get a thumbs up from people. What is amazing to me, is the number of older ladies that love it. I would expect that a lot of guys would like it, but the number of Ladies that love it really surprised me.
I am 77 years old, and I quit riding motorcycles last year. I normally rode it in the back country, but sadly my balance has went away. I use to have a big road bike, but it got to the point that I did not want to ride it much, so I sold it. When I was on back country trails with my dirt bike, it started to scare me ------a LOT. So I sold it too.
I understand about feeling the temperature changes. I feel the same things on my Hot Rod, and almost like your motorcycle, I can see so much more. I love driving the back roads where I am all by myself. My favorite cruising speed is 45 MPH.
Hear hear!
You can get almost the same feeling by just rolling down your car windows. I know it's unheard of these days with AC. It's sacrilegious!
@@BuilderofRatbeen thinking about a three wheeler recently, I have two bikes, using the 300 I just finished a four country group ride which I thoroughly enjoyed, the time is approaching to make a change. Here in Thailand 3 wheelers are mostly waves with side cars but I do know a local very clever builder who could make me a three wheeler, he has recently sold a Morgan three wheeler replica he made that was very original.
@@ragbag46 That sounds like it would be fun to drive around. I need to think about building one for me. I could use a regular bike, and just put a live axle in place of the rear wheel. Install two hubs to the ends of the axles. I could use the factory disc brake and factory suspension.
Thanks, your reply has got me thinking. Sometimes that is a dangerous thing. LOL
It is amazing how Iraqi people, after all their suffering during the war, still find in their hearts to be so nice to travelers. Noraly is truly a world kindness embassador.
Thanks a lot 😊

I love how you learn enough of the language in each country to not just get by but to be respectful of the people and their culture.
You have such a wonderful sense of humor.Optimist and and strong you are 👊🇸🇪
Welcome to Kurdistan
Well, Noraly I've been watching you travel around the world for years. You and your videos keep improving and bring the world to our doorstep every Sunday and Wednesday. You have the best travel and documentary series on UA-cam! I can't wait for your next one. I love that you show how wonderful the people are to you, and their hospitality is amazing.
It’s simply wonderful that these people are so kind not letting you pay. Thanks for showing the world these amazing people. ❤ greetings from Frankie to Frankie 😉
Welcome to Kurdistan! We are delighted to have you explore our beautiful land. Here, you’ll find breathtaking landscapes, the warm hospitality of our people, the richness of our culture, and the unique flavors of our traditional cuisine. Your journey is truly special, and we are proud to share with you the stories and soul of Kurdistan. May your path be filled with unforgettable experiences and meaningful connections!

Thank you for this warm and welcoming words for Noraly
Breathtaking natural beauty of this country🤩🤩🤩
kurdıstan ?
@@Kh11_711come to there, we will discuss it. Yes its Kurdistan, u know that like the back of ur hand.
Iraq was the beginning of our history in ancient times. Amazing tour, gracious people.Thank you.
Dear Ms. Noraly, I follow you from Türkiye/Ankara. I am very pleased with the attitude of the tradesmen in the Iraqi Kurdish Region towards you. Greetings to the people of the Kurdish Region of Iraq.
greetings to you from kurdistan
I haven’t been there in 20 years. When I was there as a US soldier, we worked closely with Kurds from “Dahook” and Yezidians. It’s was very difficult for me to see and hear what was happening to these people when ISIS unraveled everything we fought for in Northern Iraq.
When I was there 20 years ago, I always felt in my heart that I would return someday on peaceful terms. I’ve been thinking about these places and these people a lot lately, and this video was therapeutic for me to watch.
Thank you.
I was stationed in Mosul & used to convoy up to Tuskish border through Kurdistan for supplies and fuel 2007
The ISIS terrorist organization was already trained, equipped, and created by the United States. Did the U.S. fight against the organization it itself established? They created a proxy organization to seize the oil in Syria and Iraq and to steal the Middle Eastern people's resources. What is the U.S. doing thousands of kilometers away in the Middle East? Why isn't the U.S. in Africa, where there is no oil, where people are thirsty and starving, or in areas with barren lands?
I was stationed in Mosul for 2 months
I came home with 1 foot, I had a flesh-eating bacteria and had continued to walk with it,
so no bombs and grenades, things can get crazy like that
Yes, I remember the first appearance of ISIS. They were broadcasting to the world from inside a "US AID" tent. Sometimes I wonder where this ISIS came from. I don't know if there were spoilers in their first video?
ISIS was and is a NATO proxy trained at Al Tanf base, only now that IRAQ gave OIL to western companies ISIS left the country. Siria is next then Iran will follow.
Noraly represents all of our spirit for exploration, discovery, love, harmony and connection with all places and human beings around the world
I accidentally stumbled upon this channel. I am hooked on watching it constantly.
Throughly enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for showing us a side of Iraq most Americans don’t see. Many Americans forget this area is the cradle of civilization. Can’t wait for the next video.
It could be said that America is a long way from the cradle of civilisation but I've traveled widely in that part of the world and I made many friends - just shows that most people are decent in nature if given the chance.
Echt interressant om te zien hoe vriendelijk de mensen daar zijn en hoe mooi hun land is. Veilige reis verder Noraly
You are by far one of the best on UA-cam!! I'm thrilled every time you encounter people with that smile they seem to see your kindness. You bring us the goodness and the beauty in this world and I appreciate all your efforts in bringing your journeys to life!
The history is truly mind boggling to say the least. Beautiful people who go out of their way to make you comfortable. As always, stay safe . 👍👍🇨🇦
11:43 I can't imagine a shopkeeper in my country-USA-being so generous to someone who looks different than them. Iraqi's demonstrate incredible hospitality and goodwill to the stranger.

Noraly, thank you so much. This (and your channel in general) is peak UA-cam. 🙏
I’ve been there, the Kurd are amazing people right, kind and very helpful and the food is delicious. May God bless you and the Kurd🙏🏾😊🏍️❤
Thank you, Noraly for showing us this part of the world that we haven’t seen. Beautiful Countries, cultures and hospitality are incredible.
You are the best to show how nice is the world and how nice are the people ....ah food must taste fantastic....i am very glad to see how nice and friendly the people of Iraq
This is Kurdistan
Fascinating to see Iraq, Noraly. Thank you for showing this area of the world to us.
Most of us only know it from very negative news stories.
However, the history and culture is rich and goes back thousands of years.
Be safe and enjoy!

Kurdistan
Civilization started in Iraq (mesopotamia) there are also so many caves with paintings and writings from the era of neanderthals. Unfortunately a lot of it has been lost to time or moved to other parts of the world like England.
Most people don't have a clue about the different cultures in iraq. Thank you for helping show them to the world. Please be careful on your journeys
We don't need to know
@@marlenemcmillan8891You are watching without understanding,
and talking like you are wasting your time here!
@@marlenemcmillan8891 Why don't you need to know? What do you need to know then? Does knowledge increase pain? 😆😁
@@marlenemcmillan8891 what are you doing here then?

You and your travels have pleasantly changed by view of Iraq. You do this sort of thing so much better than others.

You never fail to keep it interesting!
Fantastic insight into Iraq….they are a very welcoming people ….. Noraly you have an awesome way with people, always smiling which makes people right away comfortable. Stay safe and thank you.
I’m lost for words Norally.
You have completely flipped my perception of Iraq and it’s people, as many people have commented.
You truly are a world class ambassador - if only there more people in the world like you, it would be a more beautiful place to live.
Please keep doing what you’re doing and spreading the word that the world is beautiful, and the majority of the people in it are too.
Thank you for what you are doing. xxxxx
Noraly isn't just a world traveller, or a motorcyclist, but a top-level videoographer! Her videos are always amazing no matter which camera she uses!
This episode is a testament that there are good people all over the world!
Pure, unadulterated adventures the world over. Magnificent! Thank you, Noraly for allowing us to accompany you. Take good care always.
Noraly!
One thing for sure about Kurdistan and Iraq is that you are guaranteed to never go hungry, thirsty, lonely, or stranded. And when you are between stretches of desert or mountains, you are also guaranteed to come across one or another amazing historical site. Keeping in mind that Iraq as a whole is probably the most ethnically diverse region / country in the area, and has been for thousands of years, all the more important to focus on the historical unity of this land. Despite recent sad episodes, your efforts go a great deal to emphasize how loving, kind, generous, friendly and hospitable people are, regardless of race, color, nationality, creed or religion. This is the New Age of the Unity of Mankind. Have been watching so many of your episodes just in the past few days, and have subscribed. Looking forwards to your new content with eagerness. Stay safe, happy trails, and God bless!
My favorite tour guide has once again shown me a country I will never see. The generosity of people and the food is just amazing. Loved visits to the temples and the walk through town. So much history to soak up. We are so lucky to have you. Loved today!
Wow I must say your an inspirational woman. Cheering from South Africa 🇿🇦. Your a genuine strong woman
Having travelled to Iraq several times for work, I was pleased to find that the Iraqi people I met were very friendly and welcoming. Thank you Noraly for showing the very human side of peoples around the world.
Your videos aren't just brilliant, they are an education. You venture to places most of us wouldn't go and show us the true beauty of the people and countries. Quite amazing 🏍🏍😁
