      The comment can also be interpreted as giving priority to the locally owned businesses, local capital, compared to foreign or international companies.

    I immediately felt bad for myself and for many other Ethiopians who were watching her when I learned that she will not cover Ethiopia. Her videos really intrigue me, and since I'm a geologist, I can understand her well-informed remarks on various geological aspects. and I think her professional videography might have done honor to Ethiopia's breathtaking landscapes and abundant geological treasures. I'm hoping for brighter times ahead and that you'll come see my nation.

I was a bit scared when you took the 2-3 day boat ride in Madagascar, but luckily you made it safely & we thank god for that. Welcome to Kenya, we are experiencing above-normal rainfall at the moment; but I hope it will subside by the time you reach Kenya.

Stay safe, be blessed & enjoy your trip

    I think Honda owes you a lifetime of free motorcycles and maintenance worldwide. There has never been better commercial promotion of a motorcycle since you started riding your Hondas. The only other one that comes to mind I’d “ the long way around” with Charly Boorman and the Scottish actor Ewan McGregor, and they had a slew of backup following them for technical support of their BMW GS bikes. Alaska is nowhere near that needy😎

    Hallo Noraly!
    Vielen Dank für dein heutiges Video und den interessanten Erklärungen zum Malawisee. Deine Aufnahmen mit der Drohne sind immer wieder das Salz in der Suppe. Den Rückflug scheinst du gut überstanden zu haben, was mich sehr freut. In den letzten vier Tagen hatte ich Gelegenheit die Live Chats von dir anzuschauen und anzuhören, welche ich in den letzten vier Jahren verpasst hatte. Dafür bin ich sehr dankbar, weil ich ein oberflächliches und voreingenommenes Bild von dir gewonnen hatte, welches ich hiermit korrigieren möchte. Es tut mir sehr leid, daß ich solche Begriffe wie Kreator und Content negativ bewerte, weil ich dabei an die dunkle Seite von Hollywood denken muss. Das trifft aber keinesfalls auf dich und deine Arbeit zu, welche ich sehr zu schätzen weiß, noch zumal du nicht mit deinen fraulichen Reizen Punkte bei den Abonnenten deines Kanals sammeln willst (dies sogar offen ablehnst, was mir persönlich sehr gefällt), sondern uns mit deiner harten Arbeit und erstklassigen Videos überzeugst. Unter den wenigen aber lauten Falken aus dem Westen stichst du als liebevolle und sensible Friedenstaube für mich auf deine ganz eigene und besondere Art und Weise hervor. Hiermit bitte ich dich aufrichtig um Verzeihung und danke dir für deine Arbeit. Das du die Risiken auf deinen Reisen sehr wohl abwägst und dich keinen unnötigen Gefahren aussetzt, hast du heute eindrucksvoll bewiesen, indem du nicht nach Mosambik fährst. 👍👍 In den USA wurde ein Fall von Vogelgrippe bei einem Bauern bekannt, wobei das Virus wohl von einem Säugetier auf den Bauern übertragen worde. Hoffentlich bedeutet das nicht wieder eine weltweite Verbreitung und Quarantäne Maßnahmen. 🙈
