    I am humbled at how Noraly is able to disarm people with her good humor and charm and find trust in strangers. She brings out the beautiful humanity of everyone she meets. When I watch her, I think, "have I been as kind, gracious, and ingratiating as she was, to the people who I met today?"

    So great to see you back on the road again. My Mom, Mary Shaver, who turned 93 yesterday loves you and turned me on to watching you a yr ago. She has been watching your videos for a couple yrs now. And she is constantly calling me and saying "Did you watch Itchy Boots? Did you see what happened?" Lol. She and my Dad road motorcycles together for years. So I feel she is reliving her youth through you again. thanks for that.

    You are an amazing person. I'm Nigerian, and watching I kept praying your tour of Africa goes well and no attack to you and/possessions. You are very brave indeed. I don't think I could do what you've done even as an African. There's true humanity about you. The fear of evil takes away our opportunity to explore and enjoy life experiences, and that's what you continue to prove. This episode blew me away, especially when you went to the village, and then you carried that little girl with so much love and sense of care. I think this planet will be the most amazing place for all if humans have your kind of mindset. Keep it up and all the very best. Subscribed and following👍🏽.

      That is the way the world use to be before the 18th and 19th centuries Europeans brought racism into the World after they started dominating the world. Prejudice has always been around, fear of what you do not know, however after familiarity occurs, humans become one. No race is superior to another.

      Seeing that lake and the fresh water drinking/sanitary situation reminded me about the Bilharzia, and really nasty worm derived disease, in fact another Ozzie round the world rider picked it up from a lake in east Africa. Takes a long time to get cured. Our maids job first thing in the morning in Dar es Salaam and Entebbe was to boil up some of the tap water and then let it slowly pass through a stone filter, then placed in the fridge so we always had some clean drinking water, my mother was fairly paranoid about this, constantly reminding me and my sister not to drink any other water outside.

So looks vulnerable, intelligent maybe that’s one way to look at it am not saying she’s not, but I have seen these stuff happening before when that times run out something happens and it’s over like a flash, all her viewers will all pour their sympathy and move on the next day…
      I have lived in Africa for a long long time, it’s not luck that get you by , it’s a mixture of all Aka wisdom, same goes for all the dangerous places on earth.
      To me when I look at her she looks very vulnerable, very we throw all praises on how smart she and all that’s all good but time has it’s on way of throwing it’s verdict.
      I know it looks like she’s bringing the world with her because she’s filming but that’s just a misconception one I bet she rely as a side comfort , but it takes two seconds to take that comfort back to reality, the minute that camera is kicked off the world is gone, seen it before many times.
      She’s courageous no doubt but as I said earlier wisdom is far better, want to go to war? Don’t go without your weapons because you suddenly feel courageous, courage never lasts it comes and goes, but if you can carry your Armor in any battle you will be ready for a fight…

      My thoughts exactly, Africans are the nicest people you would ever encounter in your life time and they are very respectful and welcoming to strangers/visitors. We that live in the west have a very bad misconception of that continent. Yes there are atrocities going on in some parts due to government corruption but as we all have seen from her videos, she’s avoiding those parts and even the locals are warning her where not to go.

    Since yesterday I discovered your canal. I'm originally from South Africa but living in Germany and came many times for holidays back to SA and Nam. I love footage from the other countries as well. I'm enjoying your ride and I definitely want to come to Ghana andbIvory Coast someday

    Noraly's "I don't want to marry, no"
    It's like if she is saying, I am having an extremely satisfying, rewarding, super adventurous life on my own, thank you! 😂

      ​@@jpnewman1688Nadie dijo ni que sea facil ni lo contrario.
      Si ese es tu deseo, casate y forma una familia.
      Y respeta a quien no piense como tu y su decision de no hacerlo.
      Noraly no quiere, respetalo.
      Punto y final.

      ​@@Bialy_1Tu deseo es casarte y formar familia, ok. Es respetable tu decisión.
      El deseo de Noraly, es no hacerlo.
      Respetalo igualmente.
      Sobran las explicaciones y esas estadisticas que contaste.
      Respetala.

    Thank you, Noraly for sharing your adventures with your viewers. As we are welcomed into Ghana we find more friendly people, checked into a stilt village, as usual the drone gives us stunning views of where the village is located as Noraly settles for the night.

    Since I discovered your channel a few days ago, I can't stop watching your adventures through Africa. All these local guys are so nice and helpful ❤ Complete strangers tow you with the motorbike in the pouring rain. The warmth of the people is completely different than here in Central Europe, where many would simply turn away. And you Noraly, you're the queen with the blue eyes. The way you interact with the locals is just great. And your sense of humor gives me always a smile on my face. Go girl and take care 🙏🏻❤
