  • In this episode, I am riding to Léon, in Nicaragua. After some walking around town, I find a local, Norlan, who joins me while motorcycling to volcano Cerro Negro, some 20 kilometers from Leon. We hike up the active volcano, and I get to board down it again. So much laughter and fun!

    You just haven't lived if you haven't ridden a motorbike through a restaurant😂. And then slid down an active volcano on a piece of board, nogal. This series has had the most incredible variety. As a South African, I thought nothing could top your African adventure, but this whole series has had me eating "humble pie". Brilliant stuff. Please keep it coming.

    Truly pure entertainment! I am in my late 60's and have had a fairly adventuresome life, lots of motorcycle riding, serving in the armed services, overseeing construction projects in many places and have been so fortunate in so many ways. But, you Noraly, are one of few people of whom I am envious of your experiences and explorer spirit. What an amazing person and superb chronicler of your shared experiences. Thank you so much for sharing this with us mere mortals. Boarding down volcanic outflows has to be so exhilarating. Safe travels.

    I was in your live chat yesterday and you opened up about your stresses, anxieties, and the overwhelming support and hate. I didn't realize these were things you struggled with because you were always so upbeat and positive. Please don't be so hard on yourself. We deeply appreciate all the content you put out. At the end of the day, what matters most is being good enough for yourself and setting out to do things that lives rent free in your heart.

    I am here for the inspiration to live life larger and the message that the world and the people in it are not nearly as dangerous as I thought. I live in the US, was thinking of visiting Ecuador with the possibility of moving there. That's how I found this channel, it was posted on a Ecuador expat channel when Itchy Boots was there in January. I've watched all but a very few of the 418 episodes. My plan is now to put some stuff in storage, sell my house that doesn't fit me anymore and get out in the world without the worry of what is going on with my home. It's easy to see that Noraly is the perfect medicine for me right now. Thank you, Noraly!

It will be how long it takes to get my stuff down to where it fits in a 10x20 storage unit and getting the house in shape to sell. Last week, one house very near me went pending in 7 days another in 2 so quick to sell, the closing may take longer. I'm planning to start in Olon. Do you have a locale picked out?

      @@jerrym3261 I don't have a house to sell, but I have a lifetime of stuff to sell, and it's going slowly - very slowly. Putting stuff in storage is like putting good money after bad. I know because I've been doing it for many years. 🤣
      It is great that you have a house to sell. Prices are insanely high and not sustainable IMHO. So you are probably getting out at just the right time. Good luck!
      I've all but decided to start out in Cuenca and hope that I don't have a problem with elevation sickness. If that doesn't work out, I might try Loja. I want to live where there is excellent public infrastructure and everything I need is an easy commute. Also, healthcare is an issue, as is fluency in Spanish so that limits my choices. For a long time, I considered Manta but I think it is too small and frankly, I've had my fill of heat and humidity.

      @@donminecuador6044 I have lived on the beach and know I can be quite entertained sitting/ walking on the beach. I might consider moving to elevation for the climate knowing the beach is a short motorcycle ride away. I recently got the idea that the tourist visa you get when you get off the plane is good for 90 days in a rolling 365 days so, you can suspend your 90 days. I could stay in Ecuador 40 days, go to a different country and come back to Ecuador with 50 days left. I'm thinking to maybe look at Nigaragua, Panama, Costa Rico, maybe others before I commit to getting a visa in one of them. As far as stuff, there's very little my son will want when I'm gone and there is very little I use or even see often. For example, I have 11 motorcycles but, most of them sit unused. I'm only getting a storage space in case I end up back home. I like having options. I did learn from Dr Robert Holden to ask myself, what do I need right now to find my happiness? The answer is always, nothing. IHTH

    But they just wanted to make sure that you did not miss out on the great opportunity to board down a Volcano and to end up riding 20kms each way of a sandy road.
    And what a great adventure it was with over 1 million people of us, riding that board with you. I do think one or two may have fallen off and are still walking back along the 20km of sandy road.

Started on Mini-Bikes, went to dirt bikes and then to street bikes. Well, after many miles & years with multiple injuries and a few accidents (not from bikes), and I'm slowing down and back to the ADV Dual-Sport Bikes (road/dirt) again. Your videos are GREAT! You have more balls than 1/2 the guys I went to high school with! I bet you can ride as good or better than 1/2 the guys I ride with! Be careful out there! Hate to see something happen to a fellow Dutchmen! OK.... its been 3 or 4 generations since we came to Holland, Michigan USA but still, one rider to another, keep the rubber side down and when in doubt, GAS IT!!! ;-)
