- In this episode, I am crossing the border from Panama into Costa Rica. Will it be a smooth border crossing or one of those slow and confusing ones?!

As a 13 year resident of CR, I would also say "Welcome to Costa Rica" Itchy Boots.
My brother lives near the Chesapeake Bay. He doesn't own a boat but he has a FRIEND that has a boat. He doesn't need to have a boat. That's how I feel about watching your kind graceful traveling around the world. You show us all things that we otherwise would have missed. Thank you for your vicarious sight-seeing tours.
Hi, I'm from Costa Rica. How nice that you came to visit our country. Greetings 🇨🇷
That Costa Rican border guard was a charmer! A nice welcome to a new country for the intrepid explorer!
Think it's easier to find a needle in a haystack than trying to find the immigration buildings. Your border crossings are always interesting 😊
Duty Free signs all over the place, though!
Imagine that one day we can cross just using a pay wave type system? No waiting or form filling.
@@davem8836 Canadian customs at Vancouver airport was one of the most unwelcoming experiences I have ever had, perhaps they are better at road crossings.
I asked a Canadian Border Official why Canadians had to line up with the rest of the world. He gave me the thousand yard stare.
Always border crossing is stressful when ever Noralee crosses
Started series with 20" TV . Just got 40" to enjoy the beautiful videos. But i now realize i should have gotten 50" . By Alaska i might need 80". Love the presentations. Thank You So Much !!
Add some Bluetooth 5 headphones!
I am watching this on iPhone 7. My tv is 32”. Big tv is overrated.
@@andriusscerbetka1863 to each his own my friend. I watch it on the wall with a 4k projector and surround sound.
I don't have a TV. Watching on my Samsung phone for 2 years now!
How about video in the cinema, that would be great😁
What a pleasure it is to watch your adventures and to listen to your narratives. Your loving kindness towards the people you meet says a lot about your sweet essence. Blessings and good wishes on your journey Noraly.
🙏♀️🌷
As a Panamanian national, I have leaned more about my country thru the eyes of this Holandeza that I have learned while living in Panama. From one of the toughest border crossing in America to places I didn’t know it even existed. I lived my Pan American adventure with Noraly 3 times a week. Bravo, bravo.
Same, I need to explore a little more my country xd
I don’t like crossing borders, but for some reason,l find watching you cross borders some of the most interesting episodes, it must be,because I know it’s stressful and you handle it like a pro. Lets go,Costa Rica!
Yes indeedy! When I travelled frequently I used to work myself up prior to reaching any border. I'd then arrive with my temper on a knife edge just waiting to be confronted by the awkward squad. If only we all had Noraly's equanimity!
I would have to take a chill pill at the border crossings. My stomach would be in my throat.
@@ridewithmimi I used to cross the Zambia/Zimbabwe border regularly, .........every week in fact. The methodology is to give yourself enough time, even if you are stopped, it's just a waiting game, ............if you wait, don't get upset, chill out and engage with the border guards, sooner or later they will let you pass. They make money out of impatient people, and sometimes like to cause shit, ........just chill and be nice.
🤙
Always in awe of how you navigate border crossings. Seems like they are always situated in a confusing location 😜. Looks like Costa Rica is going to be a critter watching experience already! Have fun and thanks for taking us along!
Debbie, I agree! I would be so confused; everything is so hodge-podge, not very organized. Noraly has crossed so many borders, she is quite the pro.
Wouldn’t you love to see her passport with all the stamps. Totally awesome
That is the charm! It is the wild tropic. You want easy borders? Go to Europe. You want adventures? Come to us in Latin America!!
@Motorcycles and Travel Not only she has to check herself out but also Alaska!! I love riding to Central America from the USA but every time is an experience that you tell yourself: I am done with it! Many times once I got to Panama from the USA, I told myself: that's it: I am done with crossing these borders, I am flying back! But then again, I have never had a real bad experience! It just takes time. And as long as you check local holidays and do not attempt to cross on weekends or later in the afternoon you will be fine! That's just me talking after 20 roundtrips!
@Motorcycles and Travel When entering Belize from Mexico, you have to have it, at least if you drive a rental car. Belize would not let us in, until we bought the insurance.
You can tell that Noraly is a seasoned traveller.... from Geologist, to world Hiker to Motorcycle travel..... well done.... Costa Rica is the most beautiful of the Central Americas.....hope you stay longer and enjoy the ecosystem..... Pura Vida...♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸
Costa Rica. I can't wait. More adventures.
Noraly, thank you very much for taking us along! Bedankt! 🇩🇪
Noraly, thanks a lot for uploading your adventures. I should say the most part of us will never get the chance to do such a great journey around the world as you did. So for us this channel is a big opportunity to see our dreams became alive. My soul fullfils of joy and excitement evertime i came here to watch a new episode. Such a bless.
Mae saica la muchacha, se alegra mucho más que uno siendo del mismo país jajaja. Mi ídola🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷❤️🔥❤️🔥
XD ni yo siendo tico digo mae cuando escribo en el celular
@@catcrack_1738 che yo tmb nunca escribo mae cuando escribo espera ahora que lo pienso estoy escribiendo mae ahorita mismo de echo ya lo escribí dos veces🤨
Every border crossing is an adventure victory! 🤗
What an incredible journey trough two beautiful countries, we are all travelling with you, it's glorious! Can't wait to see and learn more about Costarica, GO NORALY GO!!!
Thanks for taking us on your journey Noraly. It is always fun.
I was at this border over 8 years ago. It is amazing that it still looks exactly the same and they haven't bothered to put a single sign up to guide foreigners to the immigration building. They fixed up the bridge though. When I was there it was a ramshackle wooden bridge with broken train tracks.
I traveled through Costa Rica in 1980, it was one of the most idyllic places i had seen ( second to Bali ) i can understand why so many people retired there. Slow down and soak it up.
Thank you norlays , your chatting along the way has really took your channel to the next level ,your riding has come a long way since the beginning, it's great to be on the journey with you.
Never in my life I can visit those countries thanks for showing us country after country it's a pleasure.Ride safe and take care always.
Right, bro👏👏
If I could ever make a world tour, my first preference would be to visit South America and then Africa next.
I am from Costa Rica . I born in San José and i live in Cartago but this is a beautiful place. Thanks for DOING this video
I am truly in awe of the respect and love you have have for the people and the land you travel through.
Need to say how much I like the intro to your videos before you say "Goodmorning Internet" . The sounds/background music and how it types out the place you are at all set my mood up for a wonderful show :)
Welcome to Costa Rica! 🥳
Glad this border crossing is so much smoother than the other ones. Can’t wait to see the upcoming Costa Rica adventures; Let’s Go! 🙌
@Rockin Roxxi could I ask you if u know the details (email) of the guest house in Costa Rica . The images are not clear enough to read, I would be so grateful 🙏🏼🥰
Bienvenida y Pura Vida !!
Enjoy your time in Costa Rica, because “what you see is what we get” due to your wonderful videos.
Bienvenida (diferido) a Costa Rica, I know you probably are already more north that what the video says, hope you've enjoyed my country. Pura Vida :D
Another boarder crossing, another paperwork maze, another adventure in Costa Rica begins.
Much better than when Noraly road the night bus, without stopping and exploring, through Costa Rica.
Noraly, great videos. My wife and I follow all your videos and experiences! We cannot wait the next!
185k views and only 30k 👍 ?!!!! Noraly is providing a world-class travel (and production/editing) experience with great spirit, insight, cultural appreciation and refreshing positivity. Many times I've wanted to give her more than one 👍. C'mon folks. Show some gratitude and appreciation for this traveling humanitarian and lover of the earth and click that 👍. Enjoy your time with the Ticos, Noraly. They and their country are wonderful.
@Carl M thats normal becasue you need to be sign in to press the Like ;-) gees alot dont sign in to see it ;-)

I never fail to finish up smiling after each of Noraly's videos!
I feel the same. The escapism and her positivity shine through.
Tl t
Costa Rica is amazing country. if possible, spend some more time there and hope we can get more videos of this country from you Noraly. Stay safe on the road
Beans and rice breakfast, crocodiles perfect beaches…aww this brings back memories again. I did a lot of offroading there by car, you gonna love it! Thanks for taking me back. Pura Vida chica
Hello Noraly. Its so nice to following You. Smood border-crossing. Its vinter here in Sweden and no time fore mc-adventures. But every time you post a new video i gett happy... Thanks for shering.
I've always wanted to go to Costa Rica. Thanks for taking me there!
Its a beautiful country, I hope you can visit one day!
Go !!!! Its beautiful and awesome
Un nuevo país, nueva aventura! Felicidades Noraly
How incredible, I live in Costa Rica, the truth is that whenever something like a video says Costa Rica, I cry out to God! I live there!!
Welcome to our country!!! Best time of the year to visit, full summer!! 😎🌞😎🌞
Finally, a relatively easy border crossing! The contrast with entering Colombia is substantial. I look forward to seeing you explore a country that is as new to you as it is to us. That fish looked delicious!
How you do it is a constant source of amazement to me you have the courage of a Lion, the patience of Job and the determination matched only by the stubbornness of a mule, What a character, well done keep 'em coming, I look forward to following you on your trepidatious and determined adventures. Well done Noraly
Как всегда переживал за тебя. Найти на границе нужное место для оформления документов, это подвиг! Иду учить английский, а то читать титры устали глаза, а смотреть тебя хочется больше и больше. Привет из России.
How beautiful it is to see how a foreigner enjoys Costa Rica
Been forgetting to mention that Alaskas exhaust sounds so much better since the new is gone from it. Chalking up smooth border crossings is on your side.
Well that was a pretty smooth crossing, the hardest part is trying to find where you need to go to get out and then in . Settle down enjoy your dinner and relax . Tomorrow is a new day .
Or the white of Eastern British Columbia. I hope she comes though here in good viewing weather. We too have beautiful back roads.
Welcome to my beautiful country!! I really hope you can have a great time here. Pura vida!!!
Thanks Noraly for the ride.👍👍👍
When I watch your videos, I feel your excitement and freedom!
Have fun and thanks for taking us along! 👀 Drive safety 🏍
Thank you for the adventures 🙏🤗 waiting for more 🎥❤️🥂
Pura vida 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷 y que Dios te bendiga. un abrazo
Felicidades, llegó a mí país, te darás cuenta que este país es algo cárito, pero lo compensa la belleza escenica, la cordialidad de la gente. Ahora bien, de aquí en adelante, Cento América, es bastante peligroso y como recomendación, es hablar con la gente donde te hospedes, ellos saben de los peligros locales, los caminos por donde NO deberás meterte, de la gente peligrosa y esas cosas.
No viajar nunca de noche, las calles ticas son muy malas, y los choferes, pues pésimos, casi nunca respetan a las motos o bicicletas. Chaoo y buenas tardes, noches o días.
YEs Noraly please tranlsate this message and take everything he said to heed - while costa rica and the rest of central america is beautiful sometimes this fools us into thinking it is completely safe! It is not! You can be safe with good common sense and being careful but dont take safety forgranted! Love the videos!
eso es muy cierto
Que no pase por San José, se dará cuenta de lo terrible y desilusionante que es
Si,pero para la mayoría de estranjeros es barato
Mae no exasejare porque para llegar de la frontera de panama a nicaragua solo se nesesita 1 día literalmente😐
Hey Noraly, another successful border crossing 👍. I’m told that Costa Rica is a beautiful country and very stable politically. Looking forward to sharing your adventure and getting your impressions. Cheers and stay safe, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦
And quite civilized. I hope she goes up to the cloud forest.
Bienvenida a nuestro país! 🇨🇷🇨🇷 welcome to our contry :)
This ferry “Palanga” is from my home country Lithuania. Just googled to confirm. I think i was on it several times when it was used in Lithuania.
Small world!
Great to see an actual bordercrossing. It’s the kind of thing that travellers like myself usually don’t photograph or will never show to others. What a charming border heh.
You're in a flow it seems, everything works Out fine in a beautiful surrounding of these countries. Your being happy Always makes me a Bit Happy too!
Muy caro y corrupción y los lugares poblados son horribles
You make border crossings look simple. It always helps to be calm and of course to how to speak the language. After awhile they may be different, but are similar. Riding along the ocean looks amazing. Enjoy!
“What do you do?”
“I’m a motorcycle traveller”
Wistful look from shopgirl..
Thanks Noraly, from all of us who adventure vicariously through your fabulous videos. 👍🏻👊🏻
That bordercrossing took me 6 hours in 2018 due to a power blackout. No power, no power for computers and not possible to check into Costa Rica.
But Costa Rica was beautiful and great when I already had entered the country
I think that my worst crossing took over 12 hours in 2015! Riots at the border! Immigrants trying to force their way from Panama to CR! They closed the border either way and the CR army was called in! I will say it got pretty interesting at a point!
Too bad you don't surf. The pacific side is full of great spots. If you happen to pass by Dominical the Hacienda Baru is a great nature refuge you can stay on. Hike the trail through the jungle to the ocean under the moonlight and you might see an Ocelot by the river where it meets the ocean. I got lucky one full moon morning and saw one back in 04. Don't step on the leaf cutter ants.
That girl at the sim card shop.. oh goodness her face just screamed, "take me with you, I want to be a traveler too"
Your border crossings always bring a lot of intrigue, and hopes that you cross over to the other side without much hassle. LOVED the part where you exclaimed " welcome to costa rica"......... waiting to hear more of such greetings,,,,, GODSPEED
It's fun to watch how you amaze and inspire the people with your easy courage, calm and independence along the way. Like that young lady in the shop. And me too!
Wow things are moving along quickly. Looking forward to seeing Costa Rica.
Eu amo este povo de Costa Rica.
I love ❤ when ypu said welcome to costa rica ❤❤welcome to the most beautiful country in the world 🌎 Pura vida from Philadelphia PA
I remember when my family travelled by car from Sweden to Greece, we were stopped at the east Germany border for five hours, not aloud to leave the car, (this was in the 70:s) your border crossings seems to go easier and easier. Ride safely. Mike / Sweden
Your trip would have been hassle free and probably faster avoiding East Germany, taking a ferry from Trelleborg to Travemünde in West Germany, then Austria, Yugoslavia and Greece.
Have an amazing time in Costa Rica🇨🇷, Noraly. For a great ride, you might want to go from the town of Turrialba on route 230 to La Pastora and from there to the active Turrialba Volcano, amazing views and vegetation. If not too late, or if you want to sleep in a cool climate, sleep there and head on over to Irazú Volcano. From Irazú, instead of taking a highway into San José, take A scenic route 219 to 218 at Llano Grande into San José.
Love these glimpses of foreign soil. Thanks for sharing and vaya con Dios!
👏 👏 👏 👏 looking forward to your Costa Rica adventure. Ride safe
You are tremendous, so much patience and always lighthearted!! Would really love to meet you one day! Looking forward to what Costa Rica has in store for us! Stay safe!
Panama was impressive and fairly affluent and well managed. I am happy to watch these videos because you are a scout for which country that I would like to visit. When your journey is done, your motorcycle will need a special retirement home, it is such a good bike.
Costa Rica is in a class of its own.
Norally, super happy to reach a new unexplored country effortlessly...bravo.All the best,kid
Saludos! Soy de Costa Rica y siempre voy a Guabito, Panamá. Espero hayas disfrutado la travesía en estos dos países hermanos .
I love to cross into new countries with you! It’s always so rewarding to make it inside after all that paperwork and makes absolutely curious about all the new things and adventures there! That is awesome!! Can’t wait to discover Costa Rica with you!
Nice to see the sun shine on your part of the world. We had a 6 day storm in a row in The Netherlands and the UK. Keep on riding for this one as ever big thumbs up👍👍🇳🇱
Buen segmento de este video al entrar a mi pais Costa Rica.. Pura Vida..
Noraly, fantastic video. THANK YOU.
I am still amazed how you find your way around so easily. Even communicating with people in all the countries you visit. The further from the border crossing the more beautiful the views. Looking down into the villages from so high up was spectacular. I would want a baby llama too! When that bus came out of nowhere around the mountain turn I realized how lucky you were to have stopped riding for a few minutes. No room to get out of the way! Thank you for another great adventure. Stay safe and take care.🤗
As usual, your so cool an positive with a nice hello and big smile. You have those border crossings absolutely nailed...Great video as usual Noraly thanks.
Thank you Itchy Boots for taking me down memory lane. I lived to Panama for 9 years in the 80s. An while there I had visited Costa Rica.
Wouw, gelukkig ben je terug Noraly. Was al wat ongerust. Waarschijnlijk had je ook wat nood aan ontspanning na je laatste avonturen. Van harte gegund. Blijf het fantastisch vinden om je te volgen in je verkenningstochten, helemaal alleen ! Alle afgelegen gebieden in de wereld te verkennen. Steeds een overnachtingsplaats vinden is dan ook niet evident. Dat je zoveel viewers hebt op je kanaal is dan ook weldegelijk verdiend. Als 60 plusser en oud motorrijder, en ja een echte, ook in de winter, volg ik u graag op uw ontdekkingstocht. Niet alleen mooi van beelden , maar je geeft ook altijd mooie info mee. Historische zaken. Heb nog al andere kanalen bekeken, maar snel afgehaakt. Goed bezig Noraly. Dikke merci, op zijn Vlaams.
Que alegria tenerte en nuestro país . Hace tiempo esperaba verte aquí Bienvenida a Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Pura Vida ..!! 😊🏍@Itchy Buts
Espectacular el vídeo Noraly, saludos desde Argentina. Pura vida !!!
Easy border crossing, what a surprise. The scenery has been so beautiful.
Ahhh beautiful Costa Rica.
Cool that we all get to explore Costa Rica for the first time with you! Keep up the awesome job you're doing as a 'motorcycle traveller', although you need to add videographer, documentary maker, geography and geology teacher, clothing entrepreneur, multilingual adventurer/explorer...etc etc etc! :)
Noraly, I'm from Costa Rica when you pass a little town called Cahuita my dad owns cabins there look for Babilonia and when you reach the Guanacaste area, my brother is a tour guide there let me know and I can ask him to find you so he can give you some tours to the volcanoes
Noraly,
You have become an all rounder.
You are a true traveller.
Your varied skills set is impressive and gets you through every time.
Your personality may be your greatest strength - being a nice person in this World is still a treasure.
I do worry for you in some of the more inhospitable places you visit.
You are not spending all your time chasing material things.
The memories of your adventures will be irreplaceable when you look back in later life.
You are proof of what determination, hard work and a strong heart can achieve.
Let op je veiligheid. 😉
Noraly I wish you good luck, after the rally your driving has leveled up, and a tip, never show too much money on the trips.
Suggestion for season 7 - Brazil.
I'm so happy to see you come to my country! I hope you have the best of times. Keep away from bigger coast towns, they tend to be filled with thieves and the like. Definitely visit Arenal Volcano, Rincón de la Vieja Volcano and Chirripó Peak! Best of lucks in CR. PURA VIDA!
Pura Vida! I LOVE Costa Rica. A sloth on day one! Howler monkeys, birds, lizards, frogs...a naturalist's dream. Enjoy your eggs with rice & beans for breakfast. Weird but wonderful. lol...
Pura vida!!!!🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷
Her attitude and ability to navigate what could be stressful situations is without peer. I have been to both CR and Panama; driving there is not easy. She is truely a pro.
Another excellent video! I'm sure you'll find some adventures to share. It's what you do! Can't hardly get up the next day without finding a new adventure.
And, as always, working your way through the little troubles that pop up. Costa Rica looks inviting. I enjoyed seeing that meal you ate!
Seeing the sloth was a bonus, and I'm sure there'll be more animals and people you find interesting, and the trip will be rewarding. Take care!
Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Lots of flora and fauna to learn about and the food is fabulous.
Take your time there, well worth it exploring the country. And they take US dollars just about everywhere.
@@bahardin3992 Yes there are, especially the pretty green ones.
Welcome to Costa Rica...😁🤩 if you don't mind I m saying..from🇲🇾 ..New country new adventures..good luck itchy boots@Noraly and keep on riding safe..👍
You crack me up ,where am I I think this way no this way O I don't know where I am, funny stuff.
