- In this episode I keep on battling the lava fields of volcano Pacaya in Guatemala. The slopes are steep, the rocks are big, uneven and sharp. I continue to crash and fall and start to doubt whether I will make it to the other side.

Anyone else feel a huge sense of relief when Noraly reaches a paved road again and she and I can relax a bit!
That was what you call a wild ride.
Yeah, me…I also was in need of oxygen 😳
I would have went down on my knees and kissed the road.
no she is her own worst enemy
she is also without and it shows
@@DavidGilesColorado She is without? Without what?
The best CESO (Chief Emotional Support Officer) award goes to Dylan for comforting our Noraly after a very daunting ride 🐕. Ride Safe, please 🙏🙏
I thought the same thing...he 🐶 was the best thing for Noraly after her rough ride!!
I think noraly is very definitely pushing her luck on these adventures and I’m afraid for her. Because she’s too carefree and it’s only a matter of time before we will all be sorry for her
Emotional support means nothing

@@herbie759 she's not stupid, give her some credit. The risks are calculated. Things can go wrong when you walk down the street, as long as your moving towards your goal, your leading a life worth living.
One does not simply walk into Mordor!
Noraly: Nay, we ride!
Gotta say this turned out to be one of my favorite episodes. Felt so proud of you, conquering those fields. Must have been very tough mentally as well, in the middle of nowhere, tired as hell, barely making progress, can't really go back nor forward.... But you pulled through. So proud. Great battle, great spirit! Hats off!
😮😮😮😱🙈😱OMG!! My hands were sweating on that ride!! I don’t know how you did it…..gravel roads and u-turns were my nemesis 😅This was a whole other level. Noraly, you are in an amazing, fearless and very determined young lady! WOW! 👍☺️❤
OMG iron woman. What a very tough trip. You're struggling so much. Keep on moving. We support you always! 🙂
feel lot of Filipino watching you 126 like in here.... keep safe..
I realised my dinner has just gotten cold. I just forgot to eat watching this episode. This woman is someone I'm proud to follow.
That was a bad idea,,,,had a experience with that🤣,,,so i dedicate the 20 mins. Or so to totally watch her videos,,,after that,,,,eating time😊
This episode should have been titled "Itchy Boots rides in Mordor".
Well done Noraly!!!
One does not simply walk into Mordor......
@@senditkevin One rides a bike to Mordor... lol
@@mindtraveller100 Haha
@@mindtraveller100 That's right. Noraly said, "Damn the eagles!"
I am proud of you. I was thinking OMG! She's alone and may not be able to go ahead or back. "What if...?" The playing and "training" with Dylan was priceless. I think it was a great way for you and us your viewers and fans to let go of the stress of the difficult trip through the lava fields. Big thumbs up, Noraly.
I am Assam very very nice baby video
Noraly: "This is dog training!"
Dylan: "She's making good progress!"
Never too tired to play with animals.
Hilarious!
What a great dog! Perfect post-ride therapy!
As a dog lover, it was so fun to watch you playing and training with the dog. I love that he came and knocked on your door to come out and play. I too have a large brown dog who knocks on the door to come in.
Totaly agree, and dogs only do this with good people, you can not fool a dog. And this also reflex the way Noraly aproach everybody she meets, openminded, respetcfull, ant friendly. And what a fighther she is! Incredible strugling to pass that very brutal terrain.
My parents, both alive, were adventurers in their own right. They took us in the 1970’s to Mexico from Costa Rica by car. On their many trips we went to Tárcoles where alligators are seen now from a bridge. But to get there, we had to climb to Monte del Aguacate in a terrain like the one depicted here. Mom’s Renault R4L was up to the task…Thanks Noraly for reviving these memories!
I must say Noraly, YOU’VE GOT HEART Lady! Amazing commitment and will..and the fact that you take EVERYTHING in stride and with grace. Amazing! Be safe please on your journey..
Beautiful eyes also
The dogs like, yeah, yeah, you had a hard ride. Play with me now!
The dog enjoyed his guest star, Noraly from Holland.
Never have I wanted to help someone pick up a motorcycle so badly in my life. Your courage never ceases to amaze me. This episode wore me out too. I think I'll go lay down for a rest. 😊
The good thing about the brutal lava fields, besides the accomplishment itself, is that you significantly increased your skill level. I was smiling as you were talking about the low grip of the road tires, while blasting through sand and even rocky sections that were once a challenge. I bet you could return to those black roads, and it would be much easier.
So much this. My exact thoughts, came to the comments to write this but you beat me to it. Anytime I ride on something I’m not comfortable with, I only get better by the end of it
I thought so too - I remember the sand being a problem in the past but now she just cuts right through it
I was thinking this as well (I'm a little behind in viewing), I don't ride moto often, but the same is true for Mountain Biking, terrain that is challenging and tough can break you spirit a bit, but the next time you hit it and realized you learned how to handle it, its a great great feeling.
Porque no tomo la carretera normal que la frontera de El Salvador a Escuintla t luego subir volcan de Pacaya?
Her drive to move forward is more powerful than retreating.......
i was stressed watching you riding on the lava flow. that was adorable when the doggy came to your door.
Noraly, that was a hard trip and you did not give up, that was impressive. The way was your goal, RESPECT and CONGRATS!
*Der Weg ist das Ziel* denke ich auch öfter mal wenn ich Noraly's Videos anschaue 😎😁
Hello Noraly, I rode motocross for many, many years, in all kinds of conditions, from snow to torrential rains, to knee deep mud, and yet your motorcycle skills, and determination clearly exceed anything I could have hoped to reach over my years. You are very skilled, very strong and very determined. You have earned all my respect!
it is beyond 'normal' :) and can't agree more with the above, Noraly you not only great and very nice and likable person but also super tough rider. Long distances, very difficult passages and terrain to the extreme many would refuse to take on. I can bet that numerous extreme enduro riders would drop their bikes in such terrain. In this episode, the riding seems to be a lot harder then in any stage of the rally in South Africa you took. Yes, your skills, endurance and happiness it is :) How many do you think, might be encouraged by you to get on the road seeking true adventure in the best possible way?
You all act like she never been on a motorcycle.
Gosh I’m sweating and breathing hard myself watching Noraly suffering and bearing through these harsh lava roads. She’s one determined and tough cookie 👍👍, shows a very tenacious character,greatly admire her determination and courage, and all by herself 👏👏
You were doing soo well through those lava hills. You're an amazing girl! Such hard work in the heat too. You acquired more skills yet again. so well done.
Thanks for taking us with you
Noraly: Wow! You really hung in there with the tough terrain. I have been riding motorcycles for 57 years, both dirt and street. This is the first time in all your videos where you were too far into and it would be more difficult to turn back. Kudos to you for the courage you have shown.
For non Dutch speakers, the "hoppa" at 02:37 means "I did it" 😄Well done Noraly! Stay safe, goede reis!
I was wondering 😀 and i googled it right then 😅
@@yourfavouriteneighbour007 😄
I loved it when she stopped at "La Holandesa" for a meal.......little did she know she was going to need it!
Thanks for the translate - I've heard her use it in other episodes.
That's some awesome riding Noraly! You and Alaska make a terrific team! You and the cute doggie Dylan at the end make it a great ending to a very tough day!
That was probably the most intense episode I ever watched from you. And I watched all your videos. I felt bad sitting at the breakfast table, a fire going (it is winter here in New Zealand) and watching you battling on and getting closer and closer to your limit. A friend of mine once said "You can only be proud of something if you have achieved it yourself". You can be massively proud of yourself. What an adventure. Thank you for sharing this.
And then still having the energy to play with the dog. That's Noraly!
What a fun dog! Glad you enjoyed playing with him after that terrible trip.
Noraly, that was total bravery and determination, I was cringing sitting in a comfy chair drinking a glass of wine so can only imagine what it was like in real life! You have nerves of steel and are an amazing role model for young women everywhere. Thank you for being one of the most outstanding channels on UA-cam.
Not just an amazing role model for young women but for ALL
This is the most incredible channel I've accidentally stumbled on! I've been watching 9,10, or is it 20 episodes in a row now? I've been wanting to learn to ride and Noraly just clinched it for me. This is so impressive!
Crossing these fields of volcanic lava was very difficult, many loose stones, this makes the motorcycle change direction by itself, but the view from the top is sensational. Congratulations on showing us these images. This is TOP 100%. I'm from Brazil and I've been following your channel for about 2 months, you do a lot of TOP trips. My name is Marcos.
I have seen EVERY one of your videos- this has to be one of the toughest!- other than the freezing mountain pass in Tajikistan.? You are an amazing, tenacious rider- KUDOS!!
Love the bonus dog footage at the end! Just what we all needed after that stressful ride! Respect Noraly!
Unless she's careful, that dog is going to follow her to Alaska.
Dogs make everything better!
As a solo traveller myself, it's incredibly tough at times. It takes so much courage and she's an inspiration for solo travellers like us ❤
Relieved to see you and Dylan playing joyfully after such a rough ride. Remarkable to see how you rose to the task and began to blast thru difficult sections with ease. Have a good rest my friend, you’ve earned it.
By far a crazy day. In a previous episode you said, "I'm only an amateur", I think over million watchers might disagree with that!! amazed you didn't shred the rear?, Total respect👍👍
HUGE THUMBS UP!!!!! Oh my goodness woman! what an amazing episode, you had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, you are such a fierce rider. And I loved the drone footage of you battling with those rocky lava hills. Perfect ending playing with Dylan. Simply spectacular
Alaska and Noraly are tested & pushed to the limits.. both come out stronger than ever.. Bravo 👍🏼
Noraly your strength of character really shone through on these last two episodes you have always had my FULL RESPECT for what you endure to bring these moments to us.
I know these episodes are a bit behind wherever you are presently at so please stay Safe.
Honda must be clapping their hands watching this - hopefully they are sponsoring/will find a way to sponsor you Noraly!
You really deserve it 😊
At least fly out some good tires for/at her next service! :D
She's probably responsible for the sale of more than a few of those bike by now.
I am buying this bike for my son because of Noraly.
Also I had an awesome experience with a honda salesperson in Pennsylvania (who was terrific and professional) and happened to be a 27 year old woman. I was impressed and was trying to figure out how to let Honda know that I was choosing this dealership that is a 10 hour drive from my home because of this person. For the record, it has Nothing to do with her gender. That said, I just learned she was promoted to Sales Manager. It is a big job. I wish here well.
I will see if it is okay to indicate what dealership.
FYI. Another dealer near this one said they were basically asking for between 2000 and 2500 more than msrp for the bikes and appeared really sleazy.
My local BMW dealer is also staffed with disrespectful people so I am having repairs on my beemer done 4 hours away.
Good people make the world better. We need to support them whenever possible.
@@charliedillon1400 I also think so. I always more or less disliked motorbikes. But since following Itchy Boots (since 2019) I am such a fan and would like to have a motorbike myself some time in the future. I know it can be a bit stressy with all the luggage etc. but it just screams freedom to me!🙂
My heart was in my mouth! I was so scared of you going over the edge Noraly and then I remembered just what an experienced rider you are. If you can manage the rally in South Africa, then you can overcome anything. Well done!
👍👏👏👏
I got to say A Star is found, Dylan you have touch lives around the world!
Whoo whoo, she made it through the LAVA. I was holding my breath on my couch. Felt I was with you. I will never complain again if I get a rough trail on my R1200GS Adventure. Such an endurance. I will take my hat off for Noraly. Very proud of your perseverance 😃🤠
That was the toughest ride you ever have had and you came out all victorious.👍
Much respect. Only thing that keeps me calm watching is that you posted the video, so you must have made it! :-)
Or turned around!
Eu também.
Noraly, you are by far one of the greatest adventurers in the history of ever!
A reincarnation of Dutch explorers of past
WOW! That was the hardest thing I have ever seen anyone do.I am glad you're out of that and through the lava fields.
Wijlen mijn schoonvader, hoogleraar Fysische Geografie in Utrecht, Jan I.S. Zonneveld (1918-1995) zei altijd: ‘Probeer nooit met een motor een redelijk vers lavaveld over te steken’. Hij had echter toen nog nooit van studente Noraly gehoord.
Ik denk dat Mijnheer Zonneveld genoten zou hebben bij de beelden die Noraly van onze mooie Aarde laat zien. Dank Noraly.
Yo he traducido el holandés a mi español. Su difunto suegro tenía mucha razón. Muy difícil hacer ruta sobre lava fresca con piroclasticos recientes del volcán. Debe ser muy alentador que esta extraordinaria motociclista reciba comentarios y apoyos en su lengua de origen, holandés. Yo vivo a 3000 metros altura, en medio de muchos volcanes activos en Ecuador y se lo que es la lava suelta con arena.
Oh my shattered nerves!! Noraly, I‘m no biker but my heart was pounding for your sake!! And when the bike dropped a third time I was close to tears myself! You are incredible, inspiring and crazy!! Love your videos! 😃Blessing Kristin
If you are a biker it is even more difficult and nerve racking to watch.....
As they say : no pain- no gain. She is getting better off road rider after nearly every trip....
Same, same! Never have I had a video provoke such a state of nervousness, caught myself leaning forward(I don’t ride) with damp palms! 🤯Nerves of Steel this Woman displays. So admirable! You GO, Noraly! 🤙🏼😁🙏🏻😁👍💯😁
Una ruta muy complicada pero con mucha adrenalina....Saludos desde Monterrey, Nl. Mexico.🙂
Noraly, I have been watching your videos for several days and you and the videos are incredible. This last one over the lava fields had me sweating as much as you were and had me on the edge of my seat! It is totally almost unbelievable that you are able to accomplish these treks and doing it all alone. And by the way, even though it looked like you would never get through the lava fields alive, you decided to bread out the drone just to make it more interesting!!!! You are absolutely amazing!!! This is the best 20 hours of my time that I could have spent. I can't wait to see the rest of your trip to Alaska. I live in the USA. Thanks so much.
HOLY SMOKES! Your fortitude and riding skills are impressive. What a wild ride. I have followed you all the way, What an adventure for all your fans.
I've just come home after my FIRST EVER motorcycle lesson and I have my test in one month! I plan to travel to South America in September and also to ride there too. You are such an inspiration.....massive respect to you. You are living my dream.....Neil from Newcastle UK

No probs!
This place is in Guatemala, and Guatemala is it in Central América...
@@glennllewellyn7369 what an offer! You’re a gent. I may be in touch in the future if I’m ‘a wandering down under’ ;)
Tough tough ride, a friendly welcome and a playful dog to top the day off. Amazing Noraly.
Really impressed with this episode, you are very chilled and determined in personality, could see this ride was a test of character.
Whenever you encounter a problem, ask yourself WWND - WHAT WOULD NORALY DO.....Then laugh, stay happy and upbeat, and solve the issue. My favorite channel. An inspiration for me to do, and be better.
I'd buy that bumper sticker!!
After going through this volcano way , she still has the energy to train the dog. OMG. Really a powerhouse , lighting up millions of people. 👍
I'm watching and gritting my teeth, thinking "oh my god! Don't crash!". You are so courageous and tough! Wow! I'm glad you made it safely through that treacherous volcanic rock bit. You 're an amazing woman and such a good rider! Best of luck on your journey northwards!
You said "I can do this" and you did it. You fell and you got right back up. You kept a momentum going but that last fall where it took a couple of attempts to lift the bike and then get the side stand down I think I would have said a few cuss words and at least kicked or thrown something. What a great example of overcoming frustration.
Most people don't realize how dangerous that loose and sharp volcanic rock can be, made me flinch every time you slipped around on it, I bet your tires took a beating. Glad you made it.
When Noraly comments" The struggle is real" I think if this video supports her comment very well from almost crashing the drone and even dropping Alaska a few times 😂but hey! that is the of travelling on a motorcycle let alone to do it solo it's just amazing.
Must be nice!!! ✨✨
You have ridden where angels would not dare to walk. I have nothing but admiration for you.
Well done on crossing that Lava Fields. The courage you have to do all those difficult roads - amazing! This is for me the best season so far!
Yes “We wanted to know that”, it was just an honest comment after a grueling journey, that’s why all of us follow your channel 😃
This was an impressive job Noraly. And on top of that you balanced the video with the rest of your nice footage. I don’t know what else to say than you are the complete package, a true Wonder Woman! 🤘
Exactly the comment I wanted to make. Such an honest video with even more the real Noraly (I think…, but surprise me 😅). That’s why you have more than a million subscribers. The real deal!
Right?! I was so happy for her that she was going to be able to have a relaxing and renewing shower - so well earned!
Incredible patience, courage, resilience, mental strength, physical strength to endure such a tough terrain. First time I saw a bike rider ride through a hard molten lava rocks. Kudos to you. May the Lord always be with you. And last but not the least the brownie dog recognized a wonderful human being and that's why the Almighty takes you through the toughest routes without any help. Wish you Godspeed !!!
…Amen
On road tyres !
Watching you strategize and negotiate such arduous terrain by yourself motivates the heck out of me. Truly inspirational! Thanks for sharing such cool video.
Your ability to handle this intense ride made me cry, its very emotional to watch. I'm so amazed at what you do. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You are fantastic to say the least.
Noraly, you are a freaking rock star! Those lava fields could not defeat you. Such an exciting episode!!
Friday cliffhangers make my Mondays so much more exciting. Thank you Noraly!😻
Never gave it a thought that way, but you're so right. Thanks for making that point.
You showed real strength of courage going around the volcanic rock on this videos. Perseverance , focus and determination. You are amazing. You and doggie had a lot of fun at the end of the day. Great relaxation..
Bienvenida a Guatemala, que disfrutes mucho de esta tierra y su gente!
I went through emotions of fatigue, hopelessness fear of getting stuck and unable to continue, finally relief at seeing civilization again. What a great episode although relieved I was not there on my own👍👍
I was cheering you on through that lava field! I could hear the effort and tell from the camera angles that this was something new. I have ridden through volcanic areas when I was young and stupid and it is amazing how you discover that you can do what others consider impossible if you really don't have a choice! I am so proud of you. You set a good example by DOING and not complaining.(although I have found it cute when you do complain because you are so bad at it, that is a very appealing part of you) You got yourself into this and you WILL get yourself out! Where, WHERE did you find the energy to play with Dylan after that ride? I would have invited the dog in to nap if it had been me I think, but running in circles? You crazy lady! Keep the rubber side down! Ride long and prosper!
I’m not missing a second of this super high thriller, Noraly is tough as nails 🛡️⚔️
You are wonderful, you always have a smile, even when the situation gets complicated and hard and the fact that you are alone, sometimes in the middle of nowhere, is unbelievable. Thank you because, you teach me that in everyday life, difficulties must always be faced with strength and a smile is always that extra something that helps you to go on all day. Good !
We see you struggling in hard passages, but we knows you 'll pass the obstacle and improve your offroads skills !
And she still has energy to play with the dog. What an awesome human being.
A pure adrenalin rush engulfed me just watching you traverse that landscape. Noraly, the riding skills you demonstrate and your can do attitude is literally off the charts.
The Baja is nothing after this lol! You are the definition of ‘Never Surrender’! Thank you for sharing these adventures with those of us who can no longer adventure ourselves! ❤ from Canada
Oh my goodness, this was such a tough challenge with a new record for falls but you did it, WELL DONE !!!! I have to say that my stomach was in a knot for you as you battled through. Wow Itchy Boots, a really great adventure and with you we realize it was an awesome sight that it was impossible to really enjoy with that intense focus. Have a great well-earned rest.
Yes! It was a vicarious battle for all of us! I did wonder if it was going to be a first wild camp, lol. As it was, a particularly pleasant hostal beckoned, it seemed.
It may be "next level stuff" on those rocks but you and Alaska are an even more advanced-level unit. We love you.
You are one gutsy girl, no question about it.
Love how you still had energy to play with the puppy.
You really are something else. You deserve to be proud of today, as well as all your other accomplishments. That road would have made a lot of people cry. You did it well, maybe even better than most other people. Keep safe and the best luck to you.
That looked so hard. Exhausting just to watch! Well done for not giving up. Bet you slept well that night.
As a father I imagined a phone call, "Ah Dad, tomorrows video is going to be a little bit adventurous." Amazing riding.
A real father would say "OK, Noraly you have proved your point. Now set the damned thing afire, take the next flight home and do something sensible".
Really proud of you for the way you dealt that and overcame those challenges. Serious stuff, alone. Plus fly the drone and narrate the camera. Amazing, really.
I admire your dedication and perseverance in difficult situation’s Noraly. Bravo. 👏👏👍Still enjoying your work in 2023.
That wasp/ bee nest on your window was amazing. Thankfully as you said it wasn’t affecting the place you are staying. 👍👍
That was intense. I could almost feel you tiring and that looked so hard to steer in a controlled way on. Glad you made it through safely and without major damage.
I have to keep telling myself, "she must have made it as she made the video."
I kept shouting at the Monitor: AIR DOWN! You Grew Stronger! You are Wonderful!
No words. Just a lot of respect! Thanks for doing this for the one's of us who want to. But are tied down to the old 8 to 5 lifestyle...
I have been riding 56 years traveling street and dirt, And I am so impressed with you and you should be absolutely proud that you didn't turn around.
Seriously impressed at your achievement. Very hard to keep going under any circumstances, but especially on your own. You have an iron will.
We can say that you did the impossible, Noraly! OMG 😳 Riding with the wrong tires is an experience I’ve already had, in a very slippery terrain but I had help from two or three guys to push my motorbike up the hill. I can’t even imagine how hard it was to get through these volcano rocks ! Congratulations! You’re indeed great ! ✨🏆✨
This video needs two thumbs up at least! What a day, incredible riding Noraly, even with the right tires, I think that would have been a challenge so well done.
Remember Sani Pass in South Africa... but I think the lava fields of volcano Pacaya are more shorts but more intenses... good job Noraly.
The most important thing is not the times you fall, they are the times you get up and keep moving forward.
That was definitely the toughest day I have seen you ride so far, such determination to continue, this is an incredible journey, thank you for sharing
And she slept like a ROCK that night! What a great adventure. Makes me wish I was young again! Found out my older brother, in Panama, is watching Itchy Boots too and he is older that I am. We both are enjoying the ride.
Wow what a trooper Noraly, well done, I was holding my breath watching you do this. 👏👏👏👏
I’ve never seen you this stressed. Thank you for being “real” here. The landscape looks stunning.
i dont think anyone should doubt the crf300 by now. youve done the best review so far.
That episode was painful to watch. I’ve had enough of lava fields for the rest of my life. So proud you could challenge yourself & make it thru. You’re amazing Noraly! The only reason I can keep watching is cuz I know you make it to Canada. 👍
A hard ride, then a shower, and finally playing with a puppy... Perfect day!!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
