It's a matter of acceptance..moste people always want more..more money,better jobs,more stuff-and so on - when a human figures out that he or she is satified whit what they got-life gets much easier..some people gets furious because they cant buy this or that,to show of social status - and others eventualy figure it out..you dont need all junk,it dosnt make you happy-accept life as it is,and you will be happy-if you r happy,then you also can be generous whithout having to feel that you r taken advantage of
It had been almost always that way. They populate most of the surface of earth, share more part of what they have to support life, sometime write WELECOME at their doors, still some of us sadly say they are poor people. While those have some wealth, always engage themselves in an internal argument of what is the gain, before any giving? So what we created is commerce and "wealth" dictate how most of us live.
Most families in Mexico are like this always we share our meals cause it's a love signal and kindness and it doesn't matter if they are known people or strangers 🇲🇽
For me the highlight of this episode is the lady who was so generous, sharing the meal she had for her family, just for asking to eat and then not expecting any payment for it.They have very little by way of any wealth but the kind heart is there. Blessed are the poor.
Ichy Boots, my mother was from Mexico, and she was super generous to all. She never liked to take money from anyone and always made meals to all friends of mine. All my Marine buddies loved eating my mom's homemade food. I grew up with a wonderful mom and awesome grandma, may they both RIP.
Hola, I’m in Australia, I can say the same of my mum and grandmother. I did a bus tour from San Fran Cisco many years ago called the Green Tortoise, I’m certain this place Noraly stopped at for lunch was our camping destination for 7 days. I recall the bus ride on that narrow ride, I was terrified the bus may slip off the side, we were so close to edge, many of us held our breaths until we passed the most narrow section. That wonderful Mexican lady wasn’t kidding.. beautiful area and nice people in Mexico.
@@highvibe4839 - Hola HighVibe, I have spent time in Australia and New Z-land while serving in the U.S. AIR Force. The people were super nice and very funny to us military knuckleheads. If you ever plan a trip to Mexico, I suggest you try Playa De Carmen just south of Cancun. Good bye from Los Angeles, Calif.
Met a young lady from minisota, she riding alone and on her way to Alaska, I asked her if she heard of Itchyboots. She replied, she’s the reason I’m doing this, Noraly, you inspired her to ride, on her BMW, I might add, she even had the same riding suit. So cool to see people doing this. Thanks for tour Noraly. Brian from Dawson Creek British Columbia Canada. The Mile Zero City. Of the Alaska highway.
Not just young Ladies! Noraly inspired me to make my License and start travelling in 2018/19............meanwhile i rode thousands of KM´´s, still happy with it and thankfull to Noraly
@Flight Simming Rotten luck mate. I'm 75 and my riding is now all in my head as my wife made me get rid of 'the beast'. Ride in your dreams my friend oh! - and with Noraly.
@@mxh5647 I am 75, and have been riding duel sport bikes since 1966. I sold my Goldwing, but I still ride my XT600 and my TW200. I am starting to use my head now, this is a new thing with me, as I use to do some crazy stuff. When it gets sketchy now, especially when I am riding alone, I will turn around. I did not use to be that way. LOL I feel so good when I am out riding. Itchy Boots has caused me to WANT to ride more. I want to thank her for that!!!!
What a Lovely Lady Angel who was sooo happy to offer you a Delicious Meal 😇 Blessings to Her, to You, your Roads, Travels, Journey & The Angels who take care of you always 🌞🌈
I almost feel like Itchy Boots should be shown/taught in schools. There are SO many lessons to be learned from Noraly: patience, kindness, resilience, empathy, cheerfulness, preparedness, having an intrepid spirit, curiosity....I could go on. Just an amazing journey!
You'r right. And also real lessons and explanations about geography. But the best lessons are perhaps respect; for nature, culture, envoriment and people.
We have a friend that teaches 6th and 7th grade and her class watches every episode and the kids love it. And they follow her on a big map and talk about the places Noraly has been. The kids even make Noraly notebooks and have tests (just for fun).
@@budlistar5312 I can't think of a better way to teach a geography, sociology, psychology lesson than through Noraly's vlogs. She is an exemplary mentor!!
I have a difficult time deciding whether you are a better motorcyclist, explorer/adventurer, videographer or ambassador of good will with all those you meet, as you are simply amazing no matter where you go and who you meet, and the best part is you share it all with us!! As a Californian, I can't wait to see you cross into the USA! Thank you and safe travelling, Noraly!
Having the exact same thoughts...I have concluded today that it is her beautiful spirit that takes her to places and people that the average person, well me for sure, would have just kept going, like when she pulled into that deserted "fishing village." However, she persisted and not only found herself much needed hydration, but a nice homemade lunch and perhaps best of all, another interesting conversation with a very kind and generous local woman. Another great day on the road for Itchy Boots and all those that enjoy following her adventures!
As a Mexican living in California i feel so proud of my people i got emotional when that lady offered you the food she cooked for her son and husband, there is some amazing people out there, by the way i’m from Ensenada, Noraly thank you for sharing all of this, blessings from San Francisco, Ca.
Erizos = Sea Urchins (Uni), they catch them and then ship their catch to Japan. She's not a food store, she shared their food with you, that's why she did not want to charge you for the food. Very nice lady indeed!
@JG no mames en donde quiera hay gente buena y malas , pero hay mas gente buena y en todo el mundo..eso si te doy la razón en Mexico se quita la comida de la boca para ofrecerle y no todos eh y todo centro america es esa cultura que nadie la va a tener...como México no hay 2🐵
This reminds me of my rural area where I grow up in Zimbabwe, we give food,water and places to sleep to strangers , our culture doesn't allow anyone to leave a passerby continue his/her journey at night without offering shelter and food.Totally different from town life.
I was riding my bike with my wife one day, and when I got off the freeway at a very remote exit, there was a young lady standing on the shoulder looking over the side. I stopped and found her husband trying to get their motorcycle back up on the road. When he went off the road, he had broken his handlebars in half. Neither one of them were hurt, and other than the broken handlebars, his motorcycle was fine. All 4 of us got his bike back up on the road, and I found out that they were from the coast about 100 miles away, and they had money for fuel, and not much else. I asked him if he could ride his bike with a broken handlebar, and he said that he could. I put his wife along with my wife on my bike and we went to my house that was about 15 miles away on secondary roads. I welded his handle bars back together, and my wife made all of us dinner. I sent him on his way about 8:00 PM. They were very grateful, and I was happy to be able to get them on their way back home. I, myself, have been helped out by perfect strangers, and I always try to "play it forward."
Practically middle of nowhere you take an impromptu right turn and find an idealic slice of life that the world passes by. What an awesome woman and great people.👍
I'll admit, i allways been a little scared of Mexico abd South America. Noraly fixed that. I was worried for her going through Mexico myself but this lady gets along so well with everyone. And many just seem happy she's there. I hope she'll enjoy USA.
@@444MarlinSS Noraly has to be vigilant with traffic in the USA. Unfortunately accidents due to recklessness are a fact. The shurastey or shuraigow canal came to a tragic end in Oregon. All dead at the end of the channel.
@@444MarlinSS There is no doubt that there is insecurity in Mexico, but both the countries and the media mainly talk about the bad and little or nothing about the good things in this country. We have incredible landscapes, beaches, jungles, mountains, a lot of culture and above all the people are good and very helpful. I hope that one day you visit the country and have a happy stay.
You are right about people that live in remote areas, they’re the nicest people you can meet. That meal looked delicious and the lady enjoying your company and not wanting you to pay her, very sweet of her. Safe travels Noraly🙏🏼💙
I’m glad you shown this fun fact Mexicans are genuine people I spent New Years 2016 with a family that I meet two days before New Years and they treated me like family .
I was on an Acapulco beach on Christmas Eve once and a family from Mexico City invited my girlfriend and myself to join them. They gave us food and beers and we played soccer and all hugged it out at the end of the day. Just one of MANY examples of the incredible hospitality of the Mexican people.
I've had the same experience with Hispanics in the US. Coworkers or friends have invited me over for holidays, birthdays, etc. and by the end of the evening I felt as if I had just acquired another family. Such a wonderful feeling!
Thats awesome experience.. Agreed Because of her, I learned more about other countries with different cultures and i loved it. Sometimes I also read some comments of people who hate her. but that's okay, everyone has their own perspective
People around the world are extremely nice.. It's the people in metropolitan areas like in big cities or developed area that run for hundreds of miles where you come across the negative vibe. I've been so many remote places in numerous countries and met, chatted, ate with nothing but kind people. I travel basically year round since I was given the gift of life in 2013.. served divorce papers.. before that I had only traveled on vacation 2 times in 30 years.. Now, I may be in Egypt and then Italy the following week. No one knows where I'm at till I call them.. what a life and what a gift.. cheers..
@@hectorraigosa7149 Not an absolute truth. As a rural New Englander visiting NYC, I have been blown away by the kindness of the city folks in the Big Apple. I have asked for help, and several times, an observant New Yorker has asked me if I needed assistance finding something when I must have looked lost! There are definitely more good people than bad people on 🌎🌍🌏
Fantastic episode, the desert and the ocean and more special the lady showing you love feeding you not expecting to be paid. That is the kindness of Mexico.
So glad you opted for Baja instead of the mainland. What an incredible, wild and uninhabited part of the continent! To a Canadian, the landscape and vegetation could be from another planet. And fresh fish and tortillas by the side of the ocean in a seasonal fishing camp. Off the scale, adventurewise!
Well, I've done it -- I've watched ALL previous episodes starting from the very beginning to when my cousins told me about this channel, and now I'm 100% up-to-date. I'm a bit sad about that because now I only (only?) have the brand new ones to wait for and watch, but hey, there's no reason I can't re-watch some of the most amazing ones from before over again. Noraly, if you read this, thanks so much for sharing your adventures and showing us what can be done when you approach travel with a flexible, cheerful, humble, and curious attitude, not to mention an incredible amount of every-increasing skill. Well done and I wish you all the best as you continue on your journey!!!
We have both done the same and arrived at the same point in time almost together. Quite a coincidence. I gave up motorcycles 8 years ago after a lifetime on them, riding every day, weekends and holidays. Watching all of this from Noraly's cam just brought it all flooding back, I am now awaiting delivery of a new bike. This is the best thing I have ever found on You Tube.
@@caseofpbr226 That idea is intriguing but what I am most inspired and motivated by is Noraly's attitude and energy, which can apply to any adventure on 2 feet, 2 wheels, 4 wheels, etc. Woohoo! :)
Kind lady in the fishing small resort. Your eyes lit up Noraly, with the food on offer. Baja scenery was so extreme desert one minute, sea, the next. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
Noraly has a distinct advantage understanding many languages. Look at how friendly everyone is when you speak their language. I think we can all learn from this.
After all these years we all know that Noraly likes her food wherever she is. We can only imagine some of the delights she eats from the most unusual places !
Yeah like this one time some tour guides on a boat made a meal from Leguan? They jumped down from the trees and they caught them and baked them on the boat! She said it tastes like chicken. I thought that was pretty wild
I drive past the place you stayed several times a week. I have seen their sign that says they they have rooms but didn't know what they looked like, until now. Some of us call them the cheese people because their family owns a dairy farm in Ojos Negros. They make excellent cheese. Hope you got to try some.
Incredible people throughout Mexico. That woman is an angel but you also have an incredible angel and personality Noraly, and you make people show you the best they are. Thanks for crossing and showing our country to the world. Safe travels through the U.S.
Is anyone else finds Noraly's laugh so contagious? You mentioned a point, I totally agree that when it seems less to be shared like in remote areas, people are oftely more willing to share than in crowded areas or surrounded with plenitude - I'm not sure if this is a common behaviour / effect or no, but it had happened to me as well. Also giving gratittude in the best way you can will always bring the best of the experience - somehow we receive what we give, right? I'm glad you made it throughout to San Felipe - that was a crazy distance by riding on dirt, jumping, sitting, rocking, sanding, standing... but also feeling a lot of energy on the road. I must admit that I'm falling in love on a deepr level with Baja - thanks Noraly. Keep it up!
In my trips to Mexico, I found the people to be extremely nice, humble, and honest! I believe most peoples of the world are similar...particular those not directly exposed to the rat-race.
Mostly they are, but on a few occasions i had them ask "are you from the USA?" before deciding to be nice to me or not. Off course that was in the middle of the tourist rat-race that is Cancun. Fortunately i am from Europe, so all was well :p
@@arjensmit6684 Hey Arjen, hang around a while (get old like me). When you've seen the sometimes appalling behaviour of people on vacation towards their hosts you realise it makes sense for the hosts to enquire where the traveller is from in case there is a pattern and they need to adjust their generosity of spirit. I can't comment on Americans in Mexico as I have never been there but I like to visit the Canary Islands and have seen many nationalities (including my British compatriots) being obnoxious to the islanders. The respect and help one gets back from those island people when treating them as one would treat a sibling is precious. Noraly is a great demonstrator of how to behave anywhere, certainly abroad. Look at the Love she spreads and receives, it's no accident.
Today's ride was absolutely epic. To find that remote lunch stop with such beautiful food was incredible as was the hospitality. Seems people with the least are often happy to give the most. Thanks for sharing with us Noraly.
Hi Noraly. I've been watching your videos since Honduras. cool videos, cooler stories on every episode. May God bless you on the road and take care of you wherever you go. Thanks for letting us watch the world thru your videos and learn from every country you visit. Greetings from Mexicali, Baja California. Mexico. The hottest city in Mexico.....No, really it is 🔥 hot !!!🥵
So much craziness and negativity in our world today, what a pleasure it is to escape for a few minutes into Noraly's adventure full of wonder and her oozing positivity. Thanks 😊
I would like to thank you Noraly, for bringing all of us with you on your amazing travels! It’s really a pleasure having you as our host and getting to know beautiful places and kind people that you encounter in your journey, this time on your way to Alaska. I’m looking forward to your next videos and wish you the best. Stay safe👍👌👌God bless you🙏
Fisherman: Where's my lunch? Wife: Noraly ate it! So great that your last big ride in Mexico was your favorite of the trip so far. The US is just going to have to try harder!' Hope your Border crossing went well, we'll have to see next time. Happy trails!
Noraly, just wanted to let you know, I think what you are doing is wonderful. You must be fearless! I’ve noticed so many ask, you are alone? It’s really unbelievable what you are doing. My sister told me about your channel and it is wonderful to see all the places you’ve been. Thank you!
I can see why you loved this ride. Such a beautiful country. It is fun to see you interact with the women of Mexico and Central America. You connect with them. Great video.
I just learn about you 30 days ago , I'm 80 years old and wish I was in your shoes. I checked Croatia and Africa now I'm on season 6 .you're very talented keep up the works. Lol Art
I have spent a fair amount of time, in Baja. Being from Southern California, it is one of our many playgrounds. Like you said, Noraly. The small town people, are so generous and welcoming. Glad that you got to experience the Baja locals. Great people!!! Love Baja!!!
@@perryelyod4870 remember Noraly hails from the flat lands of Netherlands where there are no mountains - so any mountain looks amazing from her perspective 😀
@@bridgetedwardslivelifefully they are really good for sunburn I believe. Years ago I had a really bad sunburn and my mom cut up some cactus and it was soothing.
One of my favorite things is how you find resources and hospitality in the farthest corners of your travels. This, for some reason, reminded me of how you miraculously found gas in 2 liter bottles during the rally from a place that had no services. In the middle of nowhere! I'm going to need to learn to be better at asking people - you are a pro at finding everything you need!
One time I was riding my dirt bike, and I was at a place that I needed to go back to the truck because of fuel. I stopped at a ranch house and asked a man working on an old cab-over Ford truck if I could talk him out of some fuel. He replied, "I don't know." I shut the bike off and walked over and asked him what was wrong with his truck. He said that all it would do is idle, it would not rev up. The engine was gasoline powered and had a governor. 20 years earlier I had worked at a logging camp, and I use to bypass the governor. I remembered that I had to vent one of the hoses that went to the base of the distributor. I had him take one line off of the distributor, and I had him start it up. Vroom vroom it went. He then told me to go to the tank marked "diesel," and fill my tank. He said that he never would have figured out what was wrong with his engine. I was able to ride 30 more miles before I had to turn around and go back to the truck. I went 250 miles on the old pony express trail that day on a 1986 Yamaha XT600 dirt bike.
@@antonioveritas The rancher had issues with low-lifes stealing his gasoline, so he labeled the tank Diesel. It would serve the thieves right to put diesel into their gasoline fueled engine's fuel tank. A few miles down the road it would start running quite badly. When I was in high school many many years ago I worked for a Farmer in the summer. He had an old gasoline powered grain combine, and he had the gas tank mounted about 5 feet off the ground. Every once in a while when he would go to his combine in the morning, the fuel tank would be empty. One evening we drained all of the gasoline out and refilled the fuel tank with water. The next day, there was a car on the road with the hood up not far from the field. never had any problems with fuel theft after that. LOL
Just when I have lost hope for my country you have given me, twice, a slap in the face by showing me the true essence of the people in Mexico. Regardless of bad governments, corruption, violence and bad publicity, the spirit of the Mexicans is greater than any of their woes. Thank you, again.
I loved this episode, the filming was extrodinary! The turain changed on a dime, and Alaska never even sputtered! The remote fishing village with the lovely caring woman who fed you will probably never forget the brave and beautiful young lady who stopped for water! Sharing this kindness exhaults my faith in humanity. My week has started out perfectly! You have shed light on Mexico like I've never experienced. So excited you are almost to the USA. Glad you treated yourself to a lovely place to rest AND proper WiFi!!
Noraly, your outlook and approach yields exceptional results! The way you address the people you meet is truly something many of us can learn from. Look at the way people have responded to you all the way along your journeys! You are wonderful and we certainly appreciate the videos you share with us.
The people of Baja are so cool. So glad you crossed over on the ferry from Mexicos mainland , over to the longest peninsula in the world . Stunning scenery.
i've been watching IBs travels for years and that's the first time she talked to a guy from the USA. pretty typical,friendly and well equipped with the family along. one of my favorite episodes was when Noraly is in the remote high andes and hasn't seen a soul forever and along comes a woman alone on a bicycle who looks 20 yr her elder and they start yakking and she says that she sees guys on motorcycles but they're in big groups on huge bikes with support vehicles to carry the other stuff and the broken bikes. i know which videos i'd rather watch.
Thank you for reminding me of that. She is a constant inspiration to get up and do something. And her interactions with people along the way are awesome.
You ever watch a series and after a little bit you get tired and start watching something else. This is not like that at all, I’ve put other shows and episodes on hold just to watch this. I get a notification that there’s a new episode out. I’ll stop mid way what ever I’m watching to watch the new episode. That says something. Keep going, keep safe!
My sentiments exactly. In fact when I go back to some I am following I get bored watching them. I will probably get down to Noraly and another woman adventurer and unsubscribe to the rest. Maybe do something fun with the extra time that gives me.
I found you at the start of season 6 a few days ago. I am up to this point and have decided to go back and watch season 2 before finishing season 6. At 80 years old and can no longer ride I have truly enjoyed every minute of this wonderful voyage. Thank you so much.
Min. 12:30; got a knot in my throat and almost cried when you said that she didn't want to charge you for the food🥰, could have brought you a plate with some fish rise and salad instead she brought you the hole container full of fish so you could grab and eat as much as you wanted 😇😇😇 that is worth more than any fancy dish at any fancy restaurant! Got to go now and watch this again,, God bless you 🖐👌👍
Noraly, your happiness in experiencing the beauties of Mexico is contagious! I agree this part of your ride was wonderful and it was topped off with that fantastic room where you can rest and gather your energies for the border. Keep on riding.
I think that the woman who served lunch was very happy for some companionship in the middle of her quiet days. Such lovely folks you are meeting. Thanks again.
That fishermen village lady informed they collect/fish sea urchin, which they in turn ship to Japan! Ain't that some business? Nice lovely lady. Congrats Noraly. You find angels everywhere you go!
You certainly have a knack for meeting some of the nicest people. The lady who had the food was amazing and didn’t want to charge you for the food. It’s so nice to see that there are lots of beautiful human beings in the world you just have to know where to look. Nice room at the inn too. Stay safe Noraly.👍🇨🇦
I just took my first motorcycle safety course this last weekend and was assigned a new Honda CRF 300L due to my height (mostly Honda Rebels otherwise). It took a second to click and realize I was on Noraly's bike - or at least a relative of it! Made the experience even more enjoyable to live vicariously through you as I made mistake after mistake! Love your adventure and your videos!
@@ramishrambarran3998 Yeah, it's a CRF 300 Rally - has a bunch of upgrades from the 300L including the bigger gas tank, windshield, brake and suspension upgrades, etc. Thus, just a relative...(edit) - but super-fun and a great first bike to learn on.
It seems the "ALTO" signs in Mexico are more of a suggestion than an order to stop! At least, that has been the case for me and, it seems, for Naraly too!
They are there to stop. In this video a white logistics van stops and let's Noraly pass, the same a black SUV. I think a lot of people and our lovely friend just roll thru them when they can see that nobody is coming.
UA-cam randomly recommended your channel yesterday and I’ve been watching your videos all day! I have to say you’re a great ambassador for our country. And I’m also impressed by your riding. I don’t ride anymore, but if I did I would love to ride half as good as you. I hope you enjoy the rest of trip and keep letting us share in that enjoyment! Safe travels!
Disfrutamos mucho en familia de tus videos, nos encanta cuando dices "Good Morning Internet with your accent", mas aun cuando dices HOLA !!! y las personas se sorprenden, fue espectacular tu comentario de San Rafael, donde esa mujer humilde te ofreció el almuerzo y que tu Noraly te lo disfrutastes al máximo, Seguiremos viajando contigo por esos hermosos paisajes en compañía de Alaska.
Love that you are going through Baja. My husband has ran all those back roads of Baja racing and pre-running with a Trophy Trucks team. So I know how much you really loved that scenery and the ride is so amazing. We've stayed in San Felipe many times. Sweet little town. We have driven from Ensenada to Cabo/LaPaz many times for the Baja 1000. We watch you together and enjoying your travels! Your awesome!
Someone has fallen in love with Mexico !! "Those who are touched by the magic of Mexico, will never be the same." Thanks for the adventure Noraly, we will miss you, come back again, you are always welcomed.
So... I watch Trailmater in Utah, Matt's Off-road recovery, and more. I have also 4 wheeled all over the Western states. With that said, I am glued to your channel ! I back tracked to catch up to this point on your channel and have to say your one of the best on UA-cam. You are the Anthony Bourdain Off Roader and should continue all as far as you can. You have got my attention.
Bello sms...pero desde argentina tambien amamos a noraly...una gran aventurera de los caminos...rutas...paises...paisajes magicos...personas de todas culturas e idiomas...etc etc etc...una mujer sumamente audaz y corajuda para viajar !!! Aplausos a ella verdad? Saludos hermano mexicanos !!!
me hubiera gustado ver Noraly tomandose mas su tiempo visitando lugares remotos en Mexico como hizo Charlie, es muy agozijante ver las reacciones, la coneccion entre las personas.
Siii gerardo...tambien estuvo en argentina...desde que comenzo su proyecto..patagonia-alaska...y sin dudas solo estuvo en una pequeña parte de lo muuuuuchoooo que tiene este pais para ver...como lo tienen en ese bello México sin dudas !!! Admirable esa chica lo que hace verdad? Desde que la comenze a ver en sus videos...uffff miré todooooo lo que anduvo y anda...sin dudas y bien usado el termino...es una" mujer de mundo" !!! No ? Jaja calido saludos desde la distancia a vos, de un argentino !!!
Saludos latinoamericanos! Soy uno más! Desde Nicaragua! Primero empecé a seguir a Augusto Ostos de Soy Tribu, al pasar por Nicaragua y luego a Charly Sinewan en su estadía por El Salvador y ahí conocí acerca de Noraly de este canal Itchy Boots! Me gusta el idioma inglés y por eso también la sigo ya que aprendo más acerca de los lugares que ella visita y de sus experiencias! Saludos y éxitos siempre! Mis respetos siempre desde Nicaragua! 😎🏍️♥️
That small fishing community was so cool and that room (apartment) you stayed in was awesome, I would have stayed there for a few days! I don't comment that often but your videos are very entertaining, I don't even watch TV anymore!! Keep it up!
Thank you! I’ve wondered for years what remote areas of Baja California look like. Sometimes the places you show me are so beautiful, so amazing, that I am moved to tears. This is one of those times. You are loved.
Noraly definitivamente Dios nos ama mucho. A tí llenándo tu espíritu con paísajes tan hermosos! Y cuídandote en cada momento! Poniendo en tu camino gente tan acogedora! Y a nosotros porque a través de tí conocemos y descubrimos estos hermosos lugares o para los que ya han estado ahí recordarlos volver a vivir la experiencia! Mil gracias y que Dios te siga cuidandote siempre. Bendiciones🙏💕😍
Noraly, I am always on the watch where you might be, at the same time sending good thoughts and wishes that you are always safe. You are amazing, my husband and I are avid fans of yours, living vicariously through your adventures. Safe travels, always!
I too have experienced that People in small remote villages with least facilities have a great heart with humanity and humility . The lady who gave you lunch has a golden heart ❤️. Such memories are for keep.
If Noraly says it, then it WAS her best riding day-adventure. There are many recent rides that were spectacular, speciially in Guatemala and Belice. During the dirt trail ride I was singing to A Horde With No Name by America ( a classic 70s tune) to myself and dreaming awake of sitting in one of the hills in silent retrospection. Perfect setting for deep meditation! Thanks to Noraly many of us have an oppotunity to fly with the Wind. Blessing to everyone on this beautiful planet.
I'm at a loss for adjectives for how amazingly stunning the scenery is in this ride. I have a huge soft spot for the rugged beauty of this kind of terrain. You're an excellent ambassador for goodwill & adventure! I anxiously await your next incredible episode! Safe travels always Noraly & may the wind be always at your back!
Very nice Mexican people, emphatic and proud people! You have meet very warmhearted people, chapeau to You. May Gods Blessings rains upon you an de Nation of Mexico...all Good things coming Your and their way🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🤣🤣🤣 I knew it from the moment Noraly sat down and started opening those food containers, this woman didn't sell food. That was their food of the day. So funny.👌👍
It might be because I haven’t had lunch yet but I really loved your interaction with the lady who fed you. She was so nice and the food looked really good!
I love how you don’t stop 🛑 at any of the alto’s 😂 I have a house in San Felipe about 20 minutes more south. At the 35km marker. Nice to see it through your eyes
What amazing music to go with the drone filming. Very powerful. What a ride! Such kind people. Yeeha! for the next adventure. Love from Scotland 🏴🏴🏴
It was definitely the best ride that you've had in a long time. The dirt road allowed you to open the throttle, and go go go. Very scenic terrain. Almost the same terrain in many parts as 200 years ago. It was like a miracle, you come across a seasonal fishing camp. They feed you and sell you bottled water. This, in the middle of nowhere! Proves the world is full of nice people. What good fortune. Good ride
Ooooh, that fish! They're seasonal fishermen in that area. People are amazing indeed. And one thing that blows my mind is that the more humble and poor people are, the nicer they are! Beautiful ride , just beautiful!
Before you summarized this episode, I was thinking "This is the video I'd recommend to other to get them 'hooked' on Itchy Boots". Great video, beautiful scenery, great riding, love the interaction with the locals.... Much to love. Thanks, Noraly!
My wife and I have ridden across America south to north and back. You do meet some of the nicest people on the road. People just want to talk to you, to hear your stories. You represent something to them that they want. It's the freedom of the road. Thanks for sharing this journey.
I know you went to bed with a smile on your face. You couldn't stop smiling at the end of this video and we could all see why. This has got to be one of the best days riding, for you and us. Beautiful scenery, special people and a hard dirt track. You can't ask for more. Thank you for taking us along!
Over the weekend I found Charly's El Mundo En Moto UA-cam site and watched the meeting with Noraly in El Salvador and his assisting her in getting across the border with her " illegal" motorcycle. They were so good together, much laughing, felt comfortable with each other and seemed like they had known each other for years. I thought they would travel together a while longer. But, que sera sera; I loved that episode!
Noraly, when you road into San Felipe with the great music and such enthusiasm, you brought tears to my eyes. I camped on the beach for a week with friends back in 1991. The people were amazing and the beaches incredible. Thank you, thank you for this great work!
Nice people in the fishing spot, they catch sea urchins and sell them to Japan. Cool experience! I guess people in small places are nicer because they are more relaxed, not subjected to all the hectic life in big cities, the crowds, the noise, and the rat race that steals your peace and happiness...way less stressful environment. Another super cool video. Thank you for the gift Noraly! ❤️
The people with the least are usually some of the most generous. The woman who fed you is an angel.
Mexico is beautiful, inside and out - the people and the places!💖
It's a matter of acceptance..moste people always want more..more money,better jobs,more stuff-and so on - when a human figures out that he or she is satified whit what they got-life gets much easier..some people gets furious because they cant buy this or that,to show of social status - and others eventualy figure it out..you dont need all junk,it dosnt make you happy-accept life as it is,and you will be happy-if you r happy,then you also can be generous whithout having to feel that you r taken advantage of
Lady with a heart of gold. She has a story to share for years to come.
It had been almost always that way. They populate most of the surface of earth, share more part of what they have to support life, sometime write WELECOME at their doors, still some of us sadly say they are poor people.
While those have some wealth, always engage themselves in an internal argument of what is the gain, before any giving?
So what we created is commerce and "wealth" dictate how most of us live.
Do not be deceived they make good money..but they have a simple way of life
This lovely local lady shared her family's food without any hesitation. So heartwarming! What a gem!
Surprisingly most of Mexico is like that.
@@davehartpence5037 True and a lot of "first world" rich folks wouldn't offer you anything for free, funnily enough.
Most families in Mexico are like this always we share our meals cause it's a love signal and kindness and it doesn't matter if they are known people or strangers 🇲🇽
@@davehartpence5037 Lot of India was like that too. But, not anymore...:(
@@edgarandre5216 same here in the philippines,we love sharing our foods.
For me the highlight of this episode is the lady who was so generous, sharing the meal she had for her family, just for asking to eat and then not expecting any payment for it.They have very little by way of any wealth but the kind heart is there. Blessed are the poor.
Like everywhere 😌
Ichy Boots, my mother was from Mexico, and she was super generous to all. She never liked to take money from anyone and always made meals to all friends of mine. All my Marine buddies loved eating my mom's homemade food. I grew up with a wonderful mom and awesome grandma, may they both RIP.
Felicidades Sergio!... I am glad you had a wonderful mom and abuelita
Yes , god rest their souls.
@@JmnZFilms - gracias JJ.
Hola, I’m in Australia, I can say the same of my mum and grandmother. I did a bus tour from San Fran Cisco many years ago called the Green Tortoise, I’m certain this place Noraly stopped at for lunch was our camping destination for 7 days.
I recall the bus ride on that narrow ride, I was terrified the bus may slip off the side, we were so close to edge, many of us held our breaths until we passed the most narrow section. That wonderful Mexican lady wasn’t kidding.. beautiful area and nice people in Mexico.
@@highvibe4839 - Hola HighVibe, I have spent time in Australia and New Z-land while serving in the U.S. AIR Force. The people were super nice and very funny to us military knuckleheads. If you ever plan a trip to Mexico, I suggest you try Playa De Carmen just south of Cancun. Good bye from Los Angeles, Calif.
Met a young lady from minisota, she riding alone and on her way to Alaska, I asked her if she heard of Itchyboots. She replied, she’s the reason I’m doing this, Noraly, you inspired her to ride, on her BMW, I might add, she even had the same riding suit. So cool to see people doing this. Thanks for tour Noraly. Brian from Dawson Creek British Columbia Canada. The Mile Zero City. Of the Alaska highway.
Love reading things like this
Not just young Ladies! Noraly inspired me to make my License and start travelling in 2018/19............meanwhile i rode thousands of KM´´s, still happy with it and thankfull to Noraly
Noraly is so inspiring.
@Flight Simming Rotten luck mate. I'm 75 and my riding is now all in my head as my wife made me get rid of 'the beast'. Ride in your dreams my friend oh! - and with Noraly.
@@mxh5647 I am 75, and have been riding duel sport bikes since 1966. I sold my Goldwing, but I still ride my XT600 and my TW200. I am starting to use my head now, this is a new thing with me, as I use to do some crazy stuff. When it gets sketchy now, especially when I am riding alone, I will turn around. I did not use to be that way. LOL I feel so good when I am out riding.
Itchy Boots has caused me to WANT to ride more. I want to thank her for that!!!!
What a Lovely Lady Angel who was sooo happy to offer you a Delicious Meal 😇 Blessings to Her, to You, your Roads, Travels, Journey & The Angels who take care of you always 🌞🌈
I almost feel like Itchy Boots should be shown/taught in schools. There are SO many lessons to be learned from Noraly: patience, kindness, resilience, empathy, cheerfulness, preparedness, having an intrepid spirit, curiosity....I could go on. Just an amazing journey!
You'r right. And also real lessons and explanations about geography. But the best lessons are perhaps respect; for nature, culture, envoriment and people.
We have a friend that teaches 6th and 7th grade and her class watches every episode and the kids love it. And they follow her on a big map and talk about the places Noraly has been. The kids even make Noraly notebooks and have tests (just for fun).
@@budlistar5312 I can't think of a better way to teach a geography, sociology, psychology lesson than through Noraly's vlogs. She is an exemplary mentor!!
She's like a real 'Lara Croft' or something, seriously. An incredibly intelligent lady and has a way with people.
Taught to children of all ages-!
I have a difficult time deciding whether you are a better motorcyclist, explorer/adventurer, videographer or ambassador of good will with all those you meet, as you are simply amazing no matter where you go and who you meet, and the best part is you share it all with us!! As a Californian, I can't wait to see you cross into the USA! Thank you and safe travelling, Noraly!
I agree with you about Noraly's skills and good nature. She is also a wonderful, yet understated, representative of her native land, the Netherlands!
She's already on highway 1 (on the Mexican side). She's getting closer!
Wouldn’t it be awesome to see her go bye? I’m in Ventura county
She is all of the above!
Having the exact same thoughts...I have concluded today that it is her beautiful spirit that takes her to places and people that the average person, well me for sure, would have just kept going, like when she pulled into that deserted "fishing village." However, she persisted and not only found herself much needed hydration, but a nice homemade lunch and perhaps best of all, another interesting conversation with a very kind and generous local woman. Another great day on the road for Itchy Boots and all those that enjoy following her adventures!
As a Mexican living in California i feel so proud of my people i got emotional when that lady offered you the food she cooked for her son and husband, there is some amazing people out there, by the way i’m from Ensenada, Noraly thank you for sharing all of this, blessings from San Francisco, Ca.
Lo dijiste todo con esas palabras, como Mexico no hay dos, y su gente humilde lo mejor ❤
Erizos = Sea Urchins (Uni), they catch them and then ship their catch to Japan.
She's not a food store, she shared their food with you, that's why she did not want to charge you for the food. Very nice lady indeed!
En México tenemos un dicho y lo aplicamos.. dónde comen dos , comen tres o varios . Nos gusta compartir .
@JG no mames en donde quiera hay gente buena y malas , pero hay mas gente buena y en todo el mundo..eso si te doy la razón en Mexico se quita la comida de la boca para ofrecerle y no todos eh y todo centro america es esa cultura que nadie la va a tener...como México no hay 2🐵
This reminds me of my rural area where I grow up in Zimbabwe, we give food,water and places to sleep to strangers , our culture doesn't allow anyone to leave a passerby continue his/her journey at night without offering shelter and food.Totally different from town life.
I love how Noraly just blows right through every stop sign.
I was searching for this comment. Lol.
😂😂😂I wondered if I was the only one who noticed but locals don’t stop either!
And spends a lot of time on the wrong side, "Keep Right Noraly!"
that's because you have like 3 stop signs in the the whole Netherlands xD
The lady who served Nora lunch was so heartwarming and Nora seems not only liked the food but also felt like at home
The generosity of ordinary folks is always amazing.
Its a custom in the mexican remote parts no matter the riches the people will share what they have with a total stranger and take them as family.
I was riding my bike with my wife one day, and when I got off the freeway at a very remote exit, there was a young lady standing on the shoulder looking over the side. I stopped and found her husband trying to get their motorcycle back up on the road. When he went off the road, he had broken his handlebars in half. Neither one of them were hurt, and other than the broken handlebars, his motorcycle was fine. All 4 of us got his bike back up on the road, and I found out that they were from the coast about 100 miles away, and they had money for fuel, and not much else. I asked him if he could ride his bike with a broken handlebar, and he said that he could. I put his wife along with my wife on my bike and we went to my house that was about 15 miles away on secondary roads.
I welded his handle bars back together, and my wife made all of us dinner. I sent him on his way about 8:00 PM. They were very grateful, and I was happy to be able to get them on their way back home.
I, myself, have been helped out by perfect strangers, and I always try to "play it forward."
@@rgetso I doubt it.
Best episode yet! Simple humble people with no pretensions and stunning scenery as an added bonus.
Practically middle of nowhere you take an impromptu right turn and find an idealic slice of life that the world passes by. What an awesome woman and great people.👍
Noraly shows us the world as it is. I saw the world from the comfort of my couch. Thank you Noraly for existing.😊👏👏👍🇧🇷
She is keeping me sane.
@@ansievanburen1217 wonderful human being.😊👍🇧🇷
I'll admit, i allways been a little scared of Mexico abd South America. Noraly fixed that. I was worried for her going through Mexico myself but this lady gets along so well with everyone. And many just seem happy she's there.
I hope she'll enjoy USA.
@@444MarlinSS Noraly has to be vigilant with traffic in the USA. Unfortunately accidents due to recklessness are a fact. The shurastey or shuraigow canal came to a tragic end in Oregon. All dead at the end of the channel.
@@444MarlinSS There is no doubt that there is insecurity in Mexico, but both the countries and the media mainly talk about the bad and little or nothing about the good things in this country.
We have incredible landscapes, beaches, jungles, mountains, a lot of culture and above all the people are good and very helpful.
I hope that one day you visit the country and have a happy stay.
You are right about people that live in remote areas, they’re the nicest people you can meet. That meal looked delicious and the lady enjoying your company and not wanting you to pay her, very sweet of her. Safe travels Noraly🙏🏼💙
I’m glad you shown this fun fact Mexicans are genuine people I spent New Years 2016 with a family that I meet two days before New Years and they treated me like family .
I was on an Acapulco beach on Christmas Eve once and a family from Mexico City invited my girlfriend and myself to join them. They gave us food and beers and we played soccer and all hugged it out at the end of the day. Just one of MANY examples of the incredible hospitality of the Mexican people.
I've had the same experience with Hispanics in the US. Coworkers or friends have invited me over for holidays, birthdays, etc. and by the end of the evening I felt as if I had just acquired another family. Such a wonderful feeling!
Thats awesome experience..
Agreed
Because of her, I learned more about other countries with different cultures and i loved it.
Sometimes I also read some comments of people who hate her. but that's okay, everyone has their own perspective
People around the world are extremely nice.. It's the people in metropolitan areas like in big cities or developed area that run for hundreds of miles where you come across the negative vibe. I've been so many remote places in numerous countries and met, chatted, ate with nothing but kind people. I travel basically year round since I was given the gift of life in 2013.. served divorce papers.. before that I had only traveled on vacation 2 times in 30 years.. Now, I may be in Egypt and then Italy the following week. No one knows where I'm at till I call them.. what a life and what a gift.. cheers..
@@hectorraigosa7149 Not an absolute truth. As a rural New Englander visiting NYC, I have been blown away by the kindness of the city folks in the Big Apple.
I have asked for help, and several times, an observant New Yorker has asked me if I needed assistance finding something when I must have looked lost!
There are definitely more good people than bad people on 🌎🌍🌏
Fantastic episode, the desert and the ocean and more special the lady showing you love feeding you not expecting to be paid. That is the kindness of Mexico.
Así se siente México!..
Así es México!😍
Reminds of the commercial for “Travel Mexico”.
The catch phrase was, “where the sun warms your skin, and the people warm your heart”.
I already mentioned this on your channel. People from villages and the simplest are those who give things from the heart ❤❤
So glad you opted for Baja instead of the mainland. What an incredible, wild and uninhabited part of the continent! To a Canadian, the landscape and vegetation could be from another planet. And fresh fish and tortillas by the side of the ocean in a seasonal fishing camp. Off the scale, adventurewise!
When I drove the length of Mexico, there were parts in the north (not Baja) that made me think 'this could be Saskatchewan'.
@@perryelyod4870 Baja is for Mex..what Alaska is for U.S... The untamed Northwest
I thought her view while enjoying her meal was fantastic.
Well, I've done it -- I've watched ALL previous episodes starting from the very beginning to when my cousins told me about this channel, and now I'm 100% up-to-date. I'm a bit sad about that because now I only (only?) have the brand new ones to wait for and watch, but hey, there's no reason I can't re-watch some of the most amazing ones from before over again. Noraly, if you read this, thanks so much for sharing your adventures and showing us what can be done when you approach travel with a flexible, cheerful, humble, and curious attitude, not to mention an incredible amount of every-increasing skill. Well done and I wish you all the best as you continue on your journey!!!
So when are you getting a motorcycle? 😏
The fact that I was doing the exact same thing, I started with season 2 and today, I finally catched up now, I have to wait 😅.
Me too! Her previous seasons got me through finishing writing my PhD last year.
We have both done the same and arrived at the same point in time almost together. Quite a coincidence. I gave up motorcycles 8 years ago after a lifetime on them, riding every day, weekends and holidays. Watching all of this from Noraly's cam just brought it all flooding back, I am now awaiting delivery of a new bike. This is the best thing I have ever found on You Tube.
@@caseofpbr226 That idea is intriguing but what I am most inspired and motivated by is Noraly's attitude and energy, which can apply to any adventure on 2 feet, 2 wheels, 4 wheels, etc. Woohoo! :)
Kind lady in the fishing small resort. Your eyes lit up Noraly, with the food on offer. Baja scenery was so extreme desert one minute, sea, the next. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
Still enjoying in 2023. 👍
Just goes to show how generous people can be, with sharing a meal and food.
There still some of those around, they called them humans...
Noraly has a distinct advantage understanding many languages. Look at how friendly everyone is when you speak their language. I think we can all learn from this.
@@007nadineL thats bullshit, try to learn!
People bring out the best in you AND you bring out the best of people! !! !!!
Noralys digestion system is like a crocodile ; she literally eats anything anywhere and digests it like a champion. Half of her success lies there 😀
Exactly what I was thinking!🤣
After all these years we all know that Noraly likes her food wherever she is. We can only imagine some of the delights she eats from the most unusual places !
one amazing lady! how does she not get sick from eating these "exotic" foods? or, does she not share it?
Would YOU share your diarrhea with your community ? 😅 I don't think so😉 She is a motovlogger not a digestionvlogger🖖🏻🥳
Greetings👋🏻👋🏻
Yeah like this one time some tour guides on a boat made a meal from Leguan? They jumped down from the trees and they caught them and baked them on the boat! She said it tastes like chicken. I thought that was pretty wild
I drive past the place you stayed several times a week. I have seen their sign that says they they have rooms but didn't know what they looked like, until now.
Some of us call them the cheese people because their family owns a dairy farm in Ojos Negros. They make excellent cheese. Hope you got to try some.
@@beakittelscherz5419 One time I had some alligator. It tasted like fish, but had the texture of chicken breast.
Incredible people throughout Mexico. That woman is an angel but you also have an incredible angel and personality Noraly, and you make people show you the best they are.
Thanks for crossing and showing our country to the world.
Safe travels through the U.S.
Is anyone else finds Noraly's laugh so contagious?
You mentioned a point, I totally agree that when it seems less to be shared like in remote areas, people are oftely more willing to share than in crowded areas or surrounded with plenitude - I'm not sure if this is a common behaviour / effect or no, but it had happened to me as well. Also giving gratittude in the best way you can will always bring the best of the experience - somehow we receive what we give, right?
I'm glad you made it throughout to San Felipe - that was a crazy distance by riding on dirt, jumping, sitting, rocking, sanding, standing... but also feeling a lot of energy on the road.
I must admit that I'm falling in love on a deepr level with Baja - thanks Noraly.
Keep it up!
I'm happy when She's happy! Nice day today!
Positive happy person has positive happy experiences in life with everyone she meets. It's good lesson for all of us.
@@sihotech yeah!, totally
Love her laughter. Always makes me smile.
Love her laugh! A laugh of pure joy and reverence of the beauty that surrounds us. ✌️
I gotta say Noraly you're one brave woman. Transversing across Continents all alone. Absolutely love your drone shots!
When the women described her fish lunche, I my mouth started to water. You just know those tortillas were hand made. Me encanto Baja California!
In my trips to Mexico, I found the people to be extremely nice, humble, and honest! I believe most peoples of the world are similar...particular those not directly exposed to the rat-race.
I spent Christmas and new year there in 2019 and found the people to be very friendly
The further you get from civilisation the more civilised people become, I read that somewhere
Mostly they are, but on a few occasions i had them ask "are you from the USA?" before deciding to be nice to me or not. Off course that was in the middle of the tourist rat-race that is Cancun. Fortunately i am from Europe, so all was well :p
I’m from England and I was very impressed
@@arjensmit6684 Hey Arjen, hang around a while (get old like me). When you've seen the sometimes appalling behaviour of people on vacation towards their hosts you realise it makes sense for the hosts to enquire where the traveller is from in case there is a pattern and they need to adjust their generosity of spirit. I can't comment on Americans in Mexico as I have never been there but I like to visit the Canary Islands and have seen many nationalities (including my British compatriots) being obnoxious to the islanders. The respect and help one gets back from those island people when treating them as one would treat a sibling is precious.
Noraly is a great demonstrator of how to behave anywhere, certainly abroad. Look at the Love she spreads and receives, it's no accident.
Today's ride was absolutely epic. To find that remote lunch stop with such beautiful food was incredible as was the hospitality. Seems people with the least are often happy to give the most. Thanks for sharing with us Noraly.
It's really nice to see the good side of humanity! And Noraly is a good Ambassador for all of us!
Hi Noraly. I've been watching your videos since Honduras. cool videos, cooler stories on every episode. May God bless you on the road and take care of you wherever you go. Thanks for letting us watch the world thru your videos and learn from every country you visit. Greetings from Mexicali, Baja California. Mexico. The hottest city in Mexico.....No, really it is 🔥 hot !!!🥵
@@michaeljimenez1203 Si!
Such a great woman that fed you - absolute queen!
So much craziness and negativity in our world today, what a pleasure it is to escape for a few minutes into Noraly's adventure full of wonder and her oozing positivity. Thanks 😊
I would like to thank you Noraly, for bringing all of us with you on your amazing travels! It’s really a pleasure having you as our host and getting to know beautiful places and kind people that you encounter in your journey, this time on your way to Alaska. I’m looking forward to your next videos and wish you the best. Stay safe👍👌👌God bless you🙏
That lady`s hospitality worth a lot, and yes that dirt riding with such a views, that`s awesome!
Fisherman: Where's my lunch?
Wife: Noraly ate it!
So great that your last big ride in Mexico was your favorite of the trip so far. The US is just going to have to try harder!'
Hope your Border crossing went well, we'll have to see next time. Happy trails!
Noraly, just wanted to let you know, I think what you are doing is wonderful. You must be fearless! I’ve noticed so many ask, you are alone? It’s really unbelievable what you are doing. My sister told me about your channel and it is wonderful to see all the places you’ve been. Thank you!
She is amazing and we get to see all the incredible places such a treat !
I experienced Baja after a 100-year rain. The desert turned into a solid field of flowers too beautiful to describe.
I can see why you loved this ride. Such a beautiful country. It is fun to see you interact with the women of Mexico and Central America. You connect with them. Great video.
I just learn about you 30 days ago , I'm 80 years old and wish I was in your shoes. I checked Croatia and Africa now I'm on season 6 .you're very talented keep up the works. Lol Art
I'm on the verge of 75
I have spent a fair amount of time, in Baja.
Being from Southern California, it is one of our many playgrounds.
Like you said, Noraly.
The small town people, are so generous and welcoming.
Glad that you got to experience the Baja locals.
Great people!!!
Love Baja!!!
Baja is proving to be a very interesting route !
I love how Noraly just loves cactus. She is the 1st person I know to positively praise them😊
Agree. And, I happen to love cacti too ... they're especially good for medicinal healing too!
Love them too, and the great music.
Beautiful landscapes, thanks.
I had to chuckle when she exclaimed about the beautiful colour of the mountains, whereas to me, they just looked beige.
@@perryelyod4870 remember Noraly hails from the flat lands of Netherlands where there are no mountains - so any mountain looks amazing from her perspective 😀
@@bridgetedwardslivelifefully they are really good for sunburn I believe. Years ago I had a really bad sunburn and my mom cut up some cactus and it was soothing.
True adventures.
Those people in the fishing village are kind and generous because they aren't rich...
Probably the best episode
One of my favorite things is how you find resources and hospitality in the farthest corners of your travels. This, for some reason, reminded me of how you miraculously found gas in 2 liter bottles during the rally from a place that had no services. In the middle of nowhere! I'm going to need to learn to be better at asking people - you are a pro at finding everything you need!
One time I was riding my dirt bike, and I was at a place that I needed to go back to the truck because of fuel. I stopped at a ranch house and asked a man working on an old cab-over Ford truck if I could talk him out of some fuel. He replied, "I don't know." I shut the bike off and walked over and asked him what was wrong with his truck. He said that all it would do is idle, it would not rev up. The engine was gasoline powered and had a governor. 20 years earlier I had worked at a logging camp, and I use to bypass the governor. I remembered that I had to vent one of the hoses that went to the base of the distributor. I had him take one line off of the distributor, and I had him start it up. Vroom vroom it went. He then told me to go to the tank marked "diesel," and fill my tank. He said that he never would have figured out what was wrong with his engine. I was able to ride 30 more miles before I had to turn around and go back to the truck. I went 250 miles on the old pony express trail that day on a 1986 Yamaha XT600 dirt bike.
@@Rat-Builder I didn't know Yamaha motorbikes ran on diesel!
@@antonioveritas The rancher had issues with low-lifes stealing his gasoline, so he labeled the tank Diesel. It would serve the thieves right to put diesel into their gasoline fueled engine's fuel tank. A few miles down the road it would start running quite badly.
When I was in high school many many years ago I worked for a Farmer in the summer. He had an old gasoline powered grain combine, and he had the gas tank mounted about 5 feet off the ground. Every once in a while when he would go to his combine in the morning, the fuel tank would be empty. One evening we drained all of the gasoline out and refilled the fuel tank with water. The next day, there was a car on the road with the hood up not far from the field. never had any problems with fuel theft after that. LOL
Wow! The hospitality of the lady giving you food, a lady like that restore my faith in humanity. Wow, wow! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just when I have lost hope for my country you have given me, twice, a slap in the face by showing me the true essence of the people in Mexico. Regardless of bad governments, corruption, violence and bad publicity, the spirit of the Mexicans is greater than any of their woes. Thank you, again.
I loved this episode, the filming was extrodinary! The turain changed on a dime, and Alaska never even sputtered! The remote fishing village with the lovely caring woman who fed you will probably never forget the brave and beautiful young lady who stopped for water! Sharing this kindness exhaults my faith in humanity. My week has started out perfectly! You have shed light on Mexico like I've never experienced. So excited you are almost to the USA. Glad you treated yourself to a lovely place to rest AND proper WiFi!!
Noraly, your outlook and approach yields exceptional results! The way you address the people you meet is truly something many of us can learn from. Look at the way people have responded to you all the way along your journeys! You are wonderful and we certainly appreciate the videos you share with us.
The people of Baja are so cool. So glad you crossed over on the ferry from Mexicos mainland , over to the longest peninsula in the world . Stunning scenery.
i've been watching IBs travels for years and that's the first time she talked to a guy from the USA. pretty typical,friendly and well equipped with the family along. one of my favorite episodes was when Noraly is in the remote high andes and hasn't seen a soul forever and along comes a woman alone on a bicycle who looks 20 yr her elder and they start yakking and she says that she sees guys on motorcycles but they're in big groups on huge bikes with support vehicles to carry the other stuff and the broken bikes. i know which videos i'd rather watch.
Thank you for reminding me of that. She is a constant inspiration to get up and do something. And her interactions with people along the way are awesome.
11 hours on the road, respect! That’s not easy, but with that beautiful scenery and varied terrain it helps. Take care and ride safe.
I was on 270 km trip yesterday, finished it in 12 hours.. pretty, exhausting even if it is tropical

That’s Mexican hospitality for you. And I love how you are willing to eat different culture of foods. Mad respect.
You ever watch a series and after a little bit you get tired and start watching something else. This is not like that at all, I’ve put other shows and episodes on hold just to watch this. I get a notification that there’s a new episode out. I’ll stop mid way what ever I’m watching to watch the new episode. That says something. Keep going, keep safe!
Xactly my thoughts
Me too!!
I watch first thing in the morning after waking up. I don't even go get coffee, I watch first !
My sentiments exactly. In fact when I go back to some I am following I get bored watching them. I will probably get down to Noraly and another woman adventurer and unsubscribe to the rest. Maybe do something fun with the extra time that gives me.
So will I.
Admiro mucho a Noraly por su valentía de recorrer el mundo solita, qué Dios la proteja y la bendiga 🙏
It's those little hidden lunch spots like that that are the gems of travel and that you always remember.
I found you at the start of season 6 a few days ago. I am up to this point and have decided to go back and watch season 2 before finishing season 6. At 80 years old and can no longer ride I have truly enjoyed every minute of this wonderful voyage. Thank you so much.
Min. 12:30; got a knot in my throat and almost cried when you said that she didn't want to charge you for the food🥰, could have brought you a plate with some fish rise and salad instead she brought you the hole container full of fish so you could grab and eat as much as you wanted 😇😇😇 that is worth more than any fancy dish at any fancy restaurant! Got to go now and watch this again,, God bless you 🖐👌👍
More blessings, more catch to the family of that lady who offered you food, shared their story. Wow! The kindness is absolutely amazing.
Noraly, your happiness in experiencing the beauties of Mexico is contagious! I agree this part of your ride was wonderful and it was topped off with that fantastic room where you can rest and gather your energies for the border. Keep on riding.
I think that the woman who served lunch was very happy for some companionship in the middle of her quiet days. Such lovely folks you are meeting. Thanks again.
That fishermen village lady informed they collect/fish sea urchin, which they in turn ship to Japan! Ain't that some business? Nice lovely lady. Congrats Noraly. You find angels everywhere you go!
You certainly have a knack for meeting some of the nicest people. The lady who had the food was amazing and didn’t want to charge you for the food. It’s so nice to see that there are lots of beautiful human beings in the world you just have to know where to look. Nice room at the inn too. Stay safe Noraly.👍🇨🇦
I just took my first motorcycle safety course this last weekend and was assigned a new Honda CRF 300L due to my height (mostly Honda Rebels otherwise). It took a second to click and realize I was on Noraly's bike - or at least a relative of it! Made the experience even more enjoyable to live vicariously through you as I made mistake after mistake! Love your adventure and your videos!
I think she has the CRF300 Rally.
@@ramishrambarran3998 Yeah, it's a CRF 300 Rally - has a bunch of upgrades from the 300L including the bigger gas tank, windshield, brake and suspension upgrades, etc. Thus, just a relative...(edit) - but super-fun and a great first bike to learn on.
I agree, best day in Mexico. Brilliant Video. Thanks Noraly.
It seems the "ALTO" signs in Mexico are more of a suggestion than an order to stop! At least, that has been the case for me and, it seems, for Naraly too!
I was thinking the same thing.
Like in Quebec, Canada, it means 'Stop if you really want to'.
Funny, I was going to make a similar post.
I have noticed that in all of her videos. Were it me, I would get a ticket, or worse!!!!
They are there to stop. In this video a white logistics van stops and let's Noraly pass, the same a black SUV. I think a lot of people and our lovely friend just roll thru them when they can see that nobody is coming.
UA-cam randomly recommended your channel yesterday and I’ve been watching your videos all day!
I have to say you’re a great ambassador for our country.
And I’m also impressed by your riding. I don’t ride anymore, but if I did I would love to ride half as good as you.
I hope you enjoy the rest of trip and keep letting us share in that enjoyment! Safe travels!
Your done for now, trust me you won't be able to stop watching Noralys episodes !
Disfrutamos mucho en familia de tus videos, nos encanta cuando dices "Good Morning Internet with your accent", mas aun cuando dices HOLA !!! y las personas se sorprenden, fue espectacular tu comentario de San Rafael, donde esa mujer humilde te ofreció el almuerzo y que tu Noraly te lo disfrutastes al máximo, Seguiremos viajando contigo por esos hermosos paisajes en compañía de Alaska.
Love that you are going through Baja. My husband has ran all those back roads of Baja racing and pre-running with a Trophy Trucks team. So I know how much you really loved that scenery and the ride is so amazing. We've stayed in San Felipe many times. Sweet little town. We have driven from Ensenada to Cabo/LaPaz many times for the Baja 1000. We watch you together and enjoying your travels! Your awesome!
Someone has fallen in love with Mexico !!
"Those who are touched by the magic of Mexico, will never be the same."
Thanks for the adventure Noraly, we will miss you, come back again, you are always welcomed.
So... I watch Trailmater in Utah, Matt's Off-road recovery, and more. I have also 4 wheeled all over the Western states. With that said, I am glued to your channel ! I back tracked to catch up to this point on your channel and have to say your one of the best on UA-cam. You are the Anthony Bourdain Off Roader and should continue all as far as you can. You have got my attention.
Noraly, que felicidad verte, ud. Siempre sembrando semillas de Amor, México te ama. Todo el mundo te deseamos lo mejor. Felicidades Noraly. 💖
Muy bien dicho, señor.
Bello sms...pero desde argentina tambien amamos a noraly...una gran aventurera de los caminos...rutas...paises...paisajes magicos...personas de todas culturas e idiomas...etc etc etc...una mujer sumamente audaz y corajuda para viajar !!! Aplausos a ella verdad? Saludos hermano mexicanos !!!
me hubiera gustado ver Noraly tomandose mas su tiempo visitando lugares remotos en Mexico como hizo Charlie, es muy agozijante ver las reacciones, la coneccion entre las personas.
Siii gerardo...tambien estuvo en argentina...desde que comenzo su proyecto..patagonia-alaska...y sin dudas solo estuvo en una pequeña parte de lo muuuuuchoooo que tiene este pais para ver...como lo tienen en ese bello México sin dudas !!! Admirable esa chica lo que hace verdad? Desde que la comenze a ver en sus videos...uffff miré todooooo lo que anduvo y anda...sin dudas y bien usado el termino...es una" mujer de mundo" !!! No ? Jaja calido saludos desde la distancia a vos, de un argentino !!!
Saludos latinoamericanos! Soy uno más! Desde Nicaragua! Primero empecé a seguir a Augusto Ostos de Soy Tribu, al pasar por Nicaragua y luego a Charly Sinewan en su estadía por El Salvador y ahí conocí acerca de Noraly de este canal Itchy Boots! Me gusta el idioma inglés y por eso también la sigo ya que aprendo más acerca de los lugares que ella visita y de sus experiencias! Saludos y éxitos siempre! Mis respetos siempre desde Nicaragua! 😎🏍️♥️
That small fishing community was so cool and that room (apartment) you stayed in was awesome, I would have stayed there for a few days! I don't comment that often but your videos are very entertaining, I don't even watch TV anymore!! Keep it up!
Thank you! I’ve wondered for years what remote areas of Baja California look like. Sometimes the places you show me are so beautiful, so amazing, that I am moved to tears. This is one of those times. You are loved.
Noraly definitivamente Dios nos ama mucho. A tí llenándo tu espíritu con paísajes tan hermosos! Y cuídandote en cada momento! Poniendo en tu camino gente tan acogedora! Y a nosotros porque a través de tí conocemos y descubrimos estos hermosos lugares o para los que ya han estado ahí recordarlos volver a vivir la experiencia! Mil gracias y que Dios te siga cuidandote siempre. Bendiciones🙏💕😍
I’ve had meals like that in Baja. What a magical place with beautiful people!
You ate in the best place, with super attention from that lady. When you returned to take your way your joy was heard. San Rafael as my name
Noraly, I am always on the watch where you might be, at the same time sending good thoughts and wishes that you are always safe. You are amazing, my husband and I are avid fans of yours, living vicariously through your adventures. Safe travels, always!
30 minutes of pure escapism. Thank you and ride safe.
I too have experienced that People
in small remote villages with least facilities have a great heart with humanity and humility . The lady who gave you lunch has a golden heart ❤️. Such memories are for keep.
If Noraly says it, then it WAS her best riding day-adventure. There are many recent rides that were spectacular, speciially in Guatemala and Belice. During the dirt trail ride I was singing to A Horde With No Name by America ( a classic 70s tune) to myself and dreaming awake of sitting in one of the hills in silent retrospection. Perfect setting for deep meditation! Thanks to Noraly many of us have an oppotunity to fly with the Wind. Blessing to everyone on this beautiful planet.
I'm at a loss for adjectives for how amazingly stunning the scenery is in this ride. I have a huge soft spot for the rugged beauty of this kind of terrain. You're an excellent ambassador for goodwill & adventure! I anxiously await your next incredible episode! Safe travels always Noraly & may the wind be always at your back!
Very nice Mexican people, emphatic and proud people! You have meet very warmhearted people, chapeau to You.
May Gods Blessings rains upon you an de Nation of Mexico...all Good things coming Your and their way🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🤣🤣🤣 I knew it from the moment Noraly sat down and started opening those food containers, this woman didn't sell food. That was their food of the day. So funny.👌👍
Wasn't that nice of that lady to feed you Noraly? You've met such wonderful people on your journey. Great video once again!
Tra le cose piu inconcepibili dei tuoi fantastici viaggi ,e' come tu riesca a mangiare quello che ti danno!!!!
It might be because I haven’t had lunch yet but I really loved your interaction with the lady who fed you. She was so nice and the food looked really good!
I love how you don’t stop 🛑 at any of the alto’s 😂 I have a house in San Felipe about 20 minutes more south. At the 35km marker. Nice to see it through your eyes
What amazing music to go with the drone filming. Very powerful. What a ride! Such kind people. Yeeha! for the next adventure. Love from Scotland 🏴🏴🏴
It was definitely the best ride that you've had in a long time. The dirt road allowed you to open the throttle, and go go go. Very scenic terrain. Almost the same terrain in many parts as 200 years ago. It was like a miracle, you come across a seasonal fishing camp. They feed you and sell you bottled water. This, in the middle of nowhere! Proves the world is full of nice people. What good fortune. Good ride
Ooooh, that fish! They're seasonal fishermen in that area. People are amazing indeed. And one thing that blows my mind is that the more humble and poor people are, the nicer they are! Beautiful ride , just beautiful!
Before you summarized this episode, I was thinking "This is the video I'd recommend to other to get them 'hooked' on Itchy Boots".
Great video, beautiful scenery, great riding, love the interaction with the locals.... Much to love. Thanks, Noraly!
My wife and I have ridden across America south to north and back. You do meet some of the nicest people on the road. People just want to talk to you, to hear your stories. You represent something to them that they want. It's the freedom of the road. Thanks for sharing this journey.
I know you went to bed with a smile on your face. You couldn't stop smiling at the end of this video and we could all see why.
This has got to be one of the best days riding, for you and us. Beautiful scenery, special people and a hard dirt track. You can't ask for more.
Thank you for taking us along!
Over the weekend I found Charly's El Mundo En Moto UA-cam site and watched the meeting with Noraly in El Salvador and his assisting her in getting across the border with her " illegal" motorcycle. They were so good together, much laughing, felt comfortable with each other and seemed like they had known each other for years. I thought they would travel together a while longer. But, que sera sera; I loved that episode!
How did he help? Moral support and some mythical "friends" we never see. Better than nothing, I guess.
I too love the collabs. It's really interesting seeing the same trip from two separate perspectives.
Those two are a panic! Charley leaned on those El Salvadorans for Noraly so they couldn't try to confiscate her new 300 (Alaska).
And that's how I started watching Itchyboots - sorry Charly, Soon I ll get back to watching your videos .
@@robertrichard6107. A panic???? 🤷♂️
Noraly, when you road into San Felipe with the great music and such enthusiasm, you brought tears to my eyes. I camped on the beach for a week with friends back in 1991. The people were amazing and the beaches incredible. Thank you, thank you for this great work!
Nice people in the fishing spot, they catch sea urchins and sell them to Japan. Cool experience!
I guess people in small places are nicer because they are more relaxed, not subjected to all the hectic life in big cities, the crowds, the noise, and the rat race that steals your peace and happiness...way less stressful environment.
Another super cool video. Thank you for the gift Noraly! ❤️
