One thing that impresses me about Noraly's travels - and I've followed her all over the world - is that she shows almost everywhere to be completely different to what we are told. People are largely friendly and helpful universally. People are people all over the world, just trying to get on with life, and it's just those in charge that are the problem!
Quote Robert Fulton who rode a moto around the world in 1932: the common man in any country wants food, shelter for his family and educaton for his kids. Not to be confused with his father, Robert Fulton, an inventor and perfector of the steam boat.
The people in charge usually are the warlords, crook politicians, and ex-convicts. They all are always fighting and causing trouble to maintain power. Power means money into their pockets.
On behalf of all Belizeans; thank you for properly informing yourself about the country in order to give the rest of the world correct info about Belize. We appreciate you!
Everytime Noraly uploads a video there is this pleasant feeling knowing that she is sitting somewhere with her laptop uploading videos, reading, replying and liking our comments and most importantly she is safe and sound.✨
I'd be so much more nervous watching some of these videos except I know she must have gotten out of whatever she's gotten in to, because she uploaded the video :D
Many of your followers, as do I, struggle to find the superlatives to adequately characterize your adventure. Many of us live vicariously thru you and admire and appreciate your courage and determination. You are an amazing lady and your adventure is both educational and inspiring. THANK, YOU!!!
As a belizean I would personally like to thank you for showcasing our beautiful country. It's a small country but it's very beautiful and we have alot to offer. Great to see alot of tourists taking and intrest in coming here...once again we love you and thank you.
Noraly: The living dictionary. You have such a knowlegde about places and people on the places you visit. It is allways so delightful listen to you. Looking forward to see and hear you in Mexico.
So well rounded is our ItchyBoots! She tackles the most extreme tracks, she knows how to improvise her own rescue, she finds the most beautiful people and places on earth. She encounters the most amazing roads and does it all with grace and a cheerful demeanor all while recording and narrating some of the best videos anywhere complete with interesting information about the places and people she meets. And the production value of her recoding and drone footage and music selection is of the highest level. All topped off with a humility second to none. Her style is to present an unpolished traveler, but make no mistake, she's prepared and proficient at what she does. A true inspiration to those of us who have watched her over the years and paid attention to her exploits and to what drives her on. She's a lady of the world representing what is good and right with it.
I love your content, and I love Belize, but I just have to comment on the comments sections of your videos, which is almost as positive and amazing as your own videos. So many people from so many places right across the planet. You are having a positive effect on them all. Encouraging people to go explore and experience for themselves. This channel of yours is such a great thing. Thank you for being the kind of positive change this world needs.
As somebody who has been to Belize a few times don’t you just freaking love how nice people are? You cross the border and it’s literally a different atmosphere! Go slow go easy I love Belize!!
Great history lesson of the people of Belize. NO Noraly does not have a teleprompter on Alaska like 99% of reporters use. She knows her stuff. You make border crossings look so easy. Caribbean sea! I hope Alaska avoids a boat ride.
There are a lot of great ferry crossings from island in BC, around Victoria Island for instance, and I suspect in Alaska too. In fact they're part of British Columbia's highway system. But she'd probably go too far and try running Alaska off a ferry to the back of a whale and bouncing up onto a glacier. I've also noticed she has a lot of information under that helmet. She is very mentally acute. I hope it serves her well as she travels north. I worry more about the northern latitudes, especially the US (the people) and remote parts of Canada and Alaska (the environment and critters) than I do about anything in South or Central America.
We all know Noraly will not resist going off paved roads in Mexico, US and Canada. Unlike most of the nations in Latin America that she has ridden through (with the possible exception of the Argentine Patagonia) the distances between towns is greater in those remote areas in the US, Mexico and Canada.
Sit in front of the computer, having my breakfast and coffee, and watching your latest update, it's my perfect new day beginning in my time zone. Thank you so much!
I am Amish descendant my great grandfather broke a Amish rule and got kicked out of Amish community I did stay with aunt and cousins when was teen they dressed me up like them taught me the hard working ways and learned to speak the Pennsylvania Dutch language Great episode 👍🏻
He was building a kit car and rig up something to make light and one of the locals ratted him out it was a hobby he love building things and also we found out he wanted to marry the preacher daughter so we really think it was the real reason they shunned him out of the Amish Community he would of been my great grandfather Yoder
Found this online: Belize used to drive on the left hand side of the road. When US was joined to South America by road the PanAmerican Highway, it was decided that Belize would change so it could be like the rest of the Americas. When Belize changed, all the cars on the road had steering wheels on the wrong side. Talk about crazy. After several weeks of 'practicing' the official change came at midnight on a Saturday night. All clubs, lounges, etc. had to close at 11:30 to make sure there were no 'tipsy' people driving on the road. The fire engines led a parade over the swing bridge from the market side to Paslow side and everyone who wanted to join followed the fire engines. With great fanfare of horns, etc. the parade continued until early morning
Some years ago now in the 1970's there was a rather nasty confrontation between Belize and Guatemala that lead to some British military forces being stationed in the country to guarantee their border. This force included a flight of RAF Harrier jet aircraft which became a firm favourite with the Belize people, they seeing it a defender of their independence. Before the Harriers arrived during a period of high tension with what looked like an invasion force gathering on the border a flight of Buccaneer strike aircraft was launched from HMS Ark Royal to put on a demonstration of force over the threatened area. Fortunately the issue was in the end resolved without any serious fighting.
@@louburnett6782 Whoever wrote that article needs a geography lesson. The US is not connected to South America and the PanAmerican highway does not go to South America, it stops at the Darien gap in Panama (which is on the continent of North America).
No keep puttering Noraly. We love it when you putter around a location so we can see the landscape and meet the people there. We are traveling with you Noraly and remember that it's not final destination that is important, it's the journey.
Noraly, I’m Canadian Mennonite, embrace technology, only speak English, ride motorcycles and love to watch your adventures. You have encountered a small conservative branch of Mennonites. You are quite right about time constraints, if you want to make Alaska before freeze up.
We have Mennonite’s here in Middle Tennessee, USA and they too speak English, use automobiles, etc…. Most also speak what they call Pennsylvania Dutch.
John, yeah, the Mennonites i've come across in mexico and belize are much more like we'd find the Amish in N America. (grew up near Lancaster PA, with a good mixture of Amish and Mennonite)
I like your videos keep on going might the Lord be with you keep you safe everybody I am also a Mennonite I'm a Canadian I live in Canada I am born in Mexico
Wow - what a fascinating history lesson on Belize! I only know it as a resort destination. I had no idea it had a significant Mennonite community that contributes heavily to the agriculture sector in the country! I loved the horse carriages blocking the road while the occupants talked. You were unexpected! :) I'm sure glad you puttered around in Central America - wonderstruck!
The Mennonites in the USA are more modern. Where I live in Washington state they drive cars and farm with tractors. The women wear dress just below the knew and a little hair net. Men do not wear the flat brimmed hats but caps. From the video the Mennonites in Belize look like the amish here in the US. The Mennonites here speak English well.
A seemingly easy and quick border crossing into Belize! And then, the next day you’re off on a beautiful trek through amazing scenery with an easy, crocodile free, river crossing! Your lunch looked delicious too! Ride safe Noraly and thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
Noraly your videos are amazing, both educational & visually brilliant Each episode has the viewers wanting more, your a true inspiration for us female adventure riders ❤️
Good morning Alaska and itchy boots OMG the last 2 videos we're absolutely outstanding and breathtaking the struggle riding through the jungle mud big cats lurking in the jungle and you overcoming all the obstacles to see a beautiful Mayan ruins absolutely fantastic I love seeing the Mayan ruins since I am a mesoamerican I always get goosebumps when I see the ruins of my possible ancestors. I look forward to the next adventure as always much love and many blessings 🙏✝️❤️🌹😀👍
Noraly you hit the nail on the head when you described the Mennonites in Belize, where they came from and some of their traditions. It was impressive to hear. They left Canada because Canada was too progressive for them. They now live in a country where they can live according to their tradition and faith. I have Mennonite roots living in Canada, enjoying the modern advances that have been made. Take care and stay safe.
A good day for Noraly: 1. Yummy breakfast. 2. Really, really bad roads. 3. Yummy lunch. 4. NO dogs chasing Alaska. 5. Interesting sightseeing. 6. NO people around. 7. More super bad roads. 8. Yummy Dinner. 9. Safe parking for Alaska. 10. Good WiFi in the room. 😊👍❤
That is golden, she is so easy to please. It took some thinking but, I would add, members of her followers being kind. I read somewhere she was surprised to find out how much it would mean to her when there is kindness among the flock.
Congrats on making it through Guatemala…filled with beauty and quite a few significant challenges for sure. Looking forward to what your Belize adventures will bring. Be safe Noraly.
I wait to hear it at every border crossing. In this case, "Welcome to Belize!" was so satisfying. Congratulations, Noraly, on yet another country visited.
Afternoon Noraly, loved the ruins in Guatamala, Alaska sure was put through her paces, loved the drone footage, what a beautiful country, you sure showed some grit and determination, keep safe x
Man, I am so glad there is no mud in this video. Great to see you are fully recovered from the mud pit mishaps. It will be hard to top the hot springs and Mayan ruins of Guatemala. So beautiful!
How interesting to learn about the Mennonites. That a pre electric community can dominate an industry speaks to the power of a unified group working toward a common goal. A lesson for all of us, specially in the states. Imagine how easily we could solve seemingly intractable problems like homelessness, immigration, income inequality, if we all cooperated from an agreed set of beliefs. Look what the Mennonites can do without electricity, imagine what we could do with shared purpose.
There used to be no homelessness except for those that wanted to roam. The ones with mental illness or drug/alcohol problems were put in taxpayer funded, government run facilities. Do you want to go back to that? Our only immigration issues are not securing our borders and vetting those who want to come here. It was on its way to being solved with the previous administration, but those in control of congress kept roadblocking. In the last year it was all reversed and we are being overrun. What income inequality? That is a myth. The only way you could equate someone's income would be to equate their contribution. I don't know any men who have the same job title that make the same money, yet the feminists say there is no income equality for women. There will never be a same set of beliefs in the US as long as there are liberals and conservatives.
There are several progressive groups of Mennonites in Belize. The ones that use no electricity etc are only selling like watermelons and other small items. The progressive ones have all the modern machinery to dominate rice, chicken and diary production
Technology has made us soft, and totally dependent on the government. We’re no better than caged animals in a zoo, totally dependent on their keepers to stay alive. My mother grew up like a Mennonite, living on a farm with no power no refrigeration and getting water from a rainwater tank. If everything goes belly up the Mennonite people will have the last laugh I reckon.
@@peterwrench4416 @Dave You are living in fantasy world if you think that living like the low- tech, near (or fully) impoverished hardscrabble style of the old order sects would solve the so called problems of modernity . Look at Afghanistan where the return to a twelfth century lifestyle is being enforced by the Taliban- Will they all be " happy" from now on ? No way ! The strict rules of the cults are often a burden on many of the members to the point that they wish to escape , the " grass is always greener " pattern . Among the strict menno -amish segments there are considerable problems of alcohol abuse and domestic abuse which are kept quiet , or glossed over in hasty observations , They are just as prone to interpersonal squabbles as any other group . There is a steady rate of members wishing to drop out and who do so . , but with a high birth rate the sect is restocking constantly and the membership keeps expanding . With the restricted level of schooling common among the strict old-order cults such drop-outs have a tough go of it in the current techno advanced culture , like no modern technical job skills , which leads to more problems .
It's always a breeze of fresh air seeing your videos. You are pretty much doing what most of us would love to do. Traveling around the world, freely and in a immaculate way.
Noraly conocí tu canal por el encuentro con Sinewan, ahora tienes un suscriptor más, gracias por llevarnos a viajar Contigo. vivir viajando, el sueño de muchos de nosotros. disfruta el viaje
When you get to the USA and Canada you need to ride from coast to coast. The east and west coasts are amazing. Our prairies can be a bit flat and boring for riding, but the people are amazing. We Canadians are a very friendly bunch. We love watching your videos. Stay safe.
Awesome landscape, people and roads. You just motor. Good to keep the speed up while you can. Thank you for making these chronicles and be safe out there.
Knowing about these parts of world, bit by bit.. with so much information and experiencing beauty of the places, which were totally unknown to me all these years.. Seeing it through your eyes is an amazing experience.. 👍🙏..
Welcome to Belize Noraly! Belize is a small country so it doesn't take long to pass trough, But I enjoy this video. I'm happy to know you came to my country Belize. I hope you enjoy you it here.
I’m addicted to Itchy Boots!! Have just been away on holiday where there was no wifi and I couldn’t get my fix of Itchy Boots!! 😂😂 I started watching Season 5 - a friend said I had to watch it, as I’m an ex South African and had recently travelled through Namibia in a 4x4 with roof top,tents with some friends for over a month and Noraly followed almost the same route we did! Love love love your adventures!
Its really evident how much research you must put into your travels as in every episode I learn more about the world we live in, its peoples history and culture - it really separates your channel from most others and its why a good week will always include itchy boots - and those shrimp skewers had me drooling :)
Wow, I live in Belize!! Never thought a big youtuber would be in my small country Belize. For me it's pretty rare because belize is a pretty small and unknown-able country. Glad to see Pretty Big UA-camrs Traveling through Belize❤Stay Safe. Edit: Just Realized She passes by my primary school! The White wall and blue building to the right =0 10:34
It's nice to hear after so many episodes to welcome us in new country Belize. It's new country new place but can imagine it's very small country. Best of luck for the plan to head towards north.
Happy to see you recovered well after a heavy day and today was rather uninventful so you could relax more and enjoy. Stay safe and sleep tight. Slaap lekker hou het veilig en gas erop!
That's SO cool... I didn't know anything about the Mennonites being in Belize. Their lifestyle, the independence and self-reliance, is enviable these days. AND, there's an old Gold Rush song that goes, "North to Alaska, Go North, the Rush is on!". Not too rushed, I hope! But the winter there won't wait for anyone. Happy Trails!
Only four border crossings to go! and many, many more kilometers. I love watching your travels, such beautiful places and people. Thank you for sharing.
Hello from Kansas, USA. Very surprised to see a large Mennonite community in Belize. Very similar to the Mennonite communities in rural Missouri. Very nice people. Love your channel and have recommended it to everyone I know. Can't wait until you cross through the US. Safe travels!
My Beautiful Belize, I’m glad you had a great experience and thanks for the highlight, it’s a pity you didn’t get to see our other wonders but nevertheless welcome and safe trip on Mother Earth.
What nice scenery and beautiful weather. I am glad to see you had an easy border crossing. Your adventures are always nice, showing use how the world really looks like. Also thanks for the nice history lesson. You always seem to be spot on in what you are talking about. Have many more good and safe adventures and Let’s Go
Your enthusiasm entering Belize is infectious. It brought a BIG smile to my face. Lush greenery. What a great ride off the main road! That river crossing shows that your riding confidence has gone to another level. Your lunch made me hungry. Thank you once again for "pottering around" in South and Central America. Your adventures have been informative and fascinating. Safe travels.
Seguramente lo que nos mostrarás de los tres grandes países que te restan atravesar, será muy bueno. Pero tanto Guatemala como Belice han sido hermosos, con paisajes increíbles, y en el caso de Guatemala, con el agregado de esas pirámides mayas perdidas en la selva, que fueron sorprendentes y absolutamente apasionantes!! Es muy agradable que muestres en detalle esos lugares. No te seguiría si fueras directo a Alaska, sin ingresar y compartir costumbres, comidas, trajes típicos, hablar con los habitantes (me encanta cuando lo haces en español) , paisajes y riquezas arqueológicas de cada país. Gracias !!
I'm so glad you made it to Hopkins! I love Hopkins! I was there last fall and will return this fall and again in the winter. The people are so friendly and I love that it isn't so commercialized.
Goodbye Guatemala leavingan an absolutely awesome set of adventures behind! Effortless crossing into Belize with its many languages including English! What a brilliant ride through the Menonite farmlands - so interesting to learn about their customs and avoidance of modern technology and see the horse traps and windmills. Hopkins on the Caribbean looks interesting, can't wit for more adventures in Belize! ❤️
New country - new adventures! I'm so happy to be along for the "virtual" ride with you. I learn more about the world and its cultures everywhere you go. Stay safe.
South and Central America are slowly lagging behind. There are a lot of great memories, yes, on this side of the screen too! Thank you to our trusted travel partner 😜 Dhanno & Alaska. You've shared a lot of joy with Noraly, thank you. So…. 🤩 🤩 Tomorrow I will pick up my first motorcycle, red cb500x. 💭the inspirer is Itchy boots👍
We got it all in this episode of IB. big trucks,river crossing,jungle,mud,wild horses, mountains, oceans and some coconut rice all with beautiful blue eyes and blond hair. ty Noraly 😊
I had “one of those days” at work today and your thumbnail cheered me right up. Glad to see an easier boarder crossing, they all need one of that helpful guy. Looking forward to your adventures in another country and p.s. I think we all like your pottering around 😝
Just a reminder to Noraly and everyone else to be careful when eating shrimp, to be sure they were kept refrigerated before being cooked. Two years ago, I was in New Zealand and ate shrimp at a restaurant. It turns out the shrimp tasted okay, but were actually bad. I spent six days in the hospital. Shrimp taste great, but spoil easily. Just be sure what you are eating.
Querida Noraly, Belice es como un portal en el tiempo con esos campos de los Menonitas (sus orígenes ideológicos están en el ala pacifista del movimiento anabaptista, que se inició en Zurich, Suiza, en 1525, encabezado por Ulrich Zwingli)...por fin una ruta no tan técnica...que disfrutes tu estadía y recárgate de energía ya que se vienen los tramos mas largos...I see you next video ;)
Dear Noraly, thank you so much for giving us "Normalos" such an in-depth, personal (non-touristic) insight of those parts of the world we would otherwise never be able to get a glimpse on due to our boring every-day-lives! Gracias, thank you, Dankeschön, mille grazie, heel erg bedankt :)
Another lovely Wednesday episode of Itchy Boots.. I'm better informed about Guatemala, Belize, the Mennonites and Central America in general thanks to Noraly. National Geographic? No....Noraly Geographic!! Stay safe :)
Your episodes are always a great combination of riding "adventures!" beautiful scenery, and educational information about this amazing world we all live in. Much food for thought and reflection. Thanks as always! "fly low 'n slow" (be safe) ;-)
Wow thank you for this video..it has been 20yrs since I've seen the border...a lot has changed...🇧🇿 yes English is our first language..the only country in Central America with English as first language
Nice to see that you had an epiphany about the distance. September is about the deadline to be heading through the Yukon. You will still have good weather, but you will also start experiencing snow. If you plan to be traveling that late you will need to upgrade your clothing. Glad to see a an easy passage into Belize. I was kind of surprised to see the prominence of English.
English is the official language of Belize and is spoken by 85% of the population. I was surprised, that she was surprised when he spoke to her in English.
Класс! В каждом видео Норали рассказывает о культуре, истории, традициях разных стран. Хоть немного, но понимаю эти народности, которые там живут. Спасибо.
Being an old biker, I’m so glad you to see you mature, ( grow in skill, perspective, confidence and intuition), on your little bike. It’s like you’re growing to be one with your bike, rather than just a rider. Good on you! Thanks for successfully creeping north. I can’t wait for you to explore my home, the US. I expect you will go on north, rather than come east; but, I welcome you this way. Thanks for your hard work, the trip and the amazing videos. Kentucky. P.S. I have driven from central Texas to Fairbanks, Alaska. The western route north, along the mountains, is more beautiful.
I was in Belize several years ago. Nice little country! I have friends that live in Placencia. (peninsula just south of Hopkins) Hope you make it to Xunantunich, great Mayan temples and ruins. Fabulous view from the top!

The Mennonites in the USA are more modern. Where I live in Washington state they drive cars and farm with tractors. The women wear dress just below the knew and a little hair net. Men do not wear the flat brimmed hats but caps. From the video the Mennonites in Belize look like the amish here in the US. The Mennonites here speak English well.
Also note that a number of Mennonites went to Belize a few years ago, when a colony from Sarasota, FL decided to immigrate there.
Supposedly, in Mexico they make up a population of 100.000.
Thanks a lot Noraly for the viewings and commentaries, they help to be in the journey with you. Have a lovely ride! ❤️
This brings back memories of when I was in Belize 36 years ago. It is a beautiful country with wonderful people.
A seemingly easy and quick border crossing into Belize! And then, the next day you’re off on a beautiful trek through amazing scenery with an easy, crocodile free, river crossing! Your lunch looked delicious too! Ride safe Noraly and thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
can i talk to you in private pls.
Hi Noraly. I love it when you take the " back roads," and educate us. Thank You!
Thanks for visiting My Beautiful Belize❤️🇧🇿
Noraly your videos are amazing, both educational & visually brilliant
Each episode has the viewers wanting more, your a true inspiration for us female adventure riders ❤️
Belize looks like a place you could thoroughly explore and enjoy what it has to offer. Thank you Noraly for sharing your adventures…..
Good morning Alaska and itchy boots OMG the last 2 videos we're absolutely outstanding and breathtaking the struggle riding through the jungle mud big cats lurking in the jungle and you overcoming all the obstacles to see a beautiful Mayan ruins absolutely fantastic I love seeing the Mayan ruins since I am a mesoamerican I always get goosebumps when I see the ruins of my possible ancestors. I look forward to the next adventure as always much love and many blessings 🙏✝️❤️🌹😀👍
Love hearing the history of all the places you have been . Safe travels itchy boots 👢..❤️
A big smile was on my face when you was shouting "Welcome to Beliiiize !" 👍
Noraly you hit the nail on the head when you described the Mennonites in Belize, where they came from and some of their traditions. It was impressive to hear. They left Canada because Canada was too progressive for them. They now live in a country where they can live according to their tradition and faith. I have Mennonite roots living in Canada, enjoying the modern advances that have been made. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks Itchy Boots for the best channel on UA-cam! Much love to everyone from Ava Missouri USA 🌻🤠🙏
Thank you for taking me to such wonderful places I would never have seen. Be safe. You are very brave.
A good day for Noraly:
1. Yummy breakfast.
2. Really, really bad roads.
3. Yummy lunch.
4. NO dogs chasing Alaska.
5. Interesting sightseeing.
6. NO people around.
7. More super bad roads.
8. Yummy Dinner.
9. Safe parking for Alaska.
10. Good WiFi in the room.
😊👍❤
That is golden, she is so easy to please. It took some thinking but, I would add, members of her followers being kind. I read somewhere she was surprised to find out how much it would mean to her when there is kindness among the flock.
you forgot the "good looking horses"
Bad roads equals FUN when you're riding a dual sport motorcycle! But yeah, all that stuff is a good day for Noraly!

Hey I am from Belize city you no the come talk rash bout my croutry
Congrats on making it through Guatemala…filled with beauty and quite a few significant challenges for sure. Looking forward to what your Belize adventures will bring. Be safe Noraly.
Honestly, these are places i've heard of in Bond movies. Thank you for taking us there. Such exotic locations! Love the content, as always. Be Safe!
I wait to hear it at every border crossing. In this case, "Welcome to Belize!" was so satisfying. Congratulations, Noraly, on yet another country visited.
Border Crossing point With Prince Harry Name above the Door, Is that Ginger spice and Meghan's new Job.
O
Afternoon Noraly, loved the ruins in Guatamala, Alaska sure was put through her paces, loved the drone footage, what a beautiful country, you sure showed some grit and determination, keep safe x
Man, I am so glad there is no mud in this video. Great to see you are fully recovered from the mud pit mishaps. It will be hard to top the hot springs and Mayan ruins of Guatemala. So beautiful!
How interesting to learn about the Mennonites. That a pre electric community can dominate an industry speaks to the power of a unified group working toward a common goal. A lesson for all of us, specially in the states. Imagine how easily we could solve seemingly intractable problems like homelessness, immigration, income inequality, if we all cooperated from an agreed set of beliefs. Look what the Mennonites can do without electricity, imagine what we could do with shared purpose.
There used to be no homelessness except for those that wanted to roam. The ones with mental illness or drug/alcohol problems were put in taxpayer funded, government run facilities. Do you want to go back to that? Our only immigration issues are not securing our borders and vetting those who want to come here. It was on its way to being solved with the previous administration, but those in control of congress kept roadblocking. In the last year it was all reversed and we are being overrun. What income inequality? That is a myth. The only way you could equate someone's income would be to equate their contribution. I don't know any men who have the same job title that make the same money, yet the feminists say there is no income equality for women. There will never be a same set of beliefs in the US as long as there are liberals and conservatives.
There are several progressive groups of Mennonites in Belize. The ones that use no electricity etc are only selling like watermelons and other small items. The progressive ones have all the modern machinery to dominate rice, chicken and diary production
Technology has made us soft, and totally dependent on the government.
We’re no better than caged animals in a zoo, totally dependent on their keepers to stay alive.
My mother grew up like a Mennonite, living on a farm with no power no refrigeration and getting water from a rainwater tank.
If everything goes belly up the Mennonite people will have the last laugh I reckon.
@@peterwrench4416 @Dave You are living in fantasy world if you think that living like the low- tech, near (or fully) impoverished hardscrabble style of the old order sects would solve the so called problems of modernity . Look at Afghanistan where the return to a twelfth century lifestyle is being enforced by the Taliban- Will they all be " happy" from now on ? No way ! The strict rules of the cults are often a burden on many of the members to the point that they wish to escape , the " grass is always greener " pattern . Among the strict menno -amish segments there are considerable problems of alcohol abuse and domestic abuse which are kept quiet , or glossed over in hasty observations , They are just as prone to interpersonal squabbles as any other group . There is a steady rate of members wishing to drop out and who do so . , but with a high birth rate the sect is restocking constantly and the membership keeps expanding . With the restricted level of schooling common among the strict old-order cults such drop-outs have a tough go of it in the current techno advanced culture , like no modern technical job skills , which leads to more problems .
It's always a breeze of fresh air seeing your videos. You are pretty much doing what most of us would love to do. Traveling around the world, freely and in a immaculate way.
Noraly conocí tu canal por el encuentro con Sinewan, ahora tienes un suscriptor más, gracias por llevarnos a viajar Contigo. vivir viajando, el sueño de muchos de nosotros. disfruta el viaje
Noraly, you are so blessed to see the beauty of the area's you go to.
When you get to the USA and Canada you need to ride from coast to coast. The east and west coasts are amazing. Our prairies can be a bit flat and boring for riding, but the people are amazing. We Canadians are a very friendly bunch. We love watching your videos. Stay safe.
And we can greet you Welcome bilingual : Hi Bonjour
Awesome landscape, people and roads. You just motor. Good to keep the speed up while you can. Thank you for making these chronicles and be safe out there.
Knowing about these parts of world, bit by bit.. with so much information and experiencing beauty of the places, which were totally unknown to me all these years.. Seeing it through your eyes is an amazing experience.. 👍🙏..
Coconut 🍚 rice!!! Noraly, I get to learn so many things through you!! Thank you!!
But we like it when you "potter around" Noraly 😊 then we get to experience and see so much more ☺️
Loving these lessons on cultures and history. Noraly is my favourite teacher!
Welcome to Belize Noraly! Belize is a small country so it doesn't take long to pass trough, But I enjoy this video. I'm happy to know you came to my country Belize. I hope you enjoy you it here.
I’m addicted to Itchy Boots!! Have just been away on holiday where there was no wifi and I couldn’t get my fix of Itchy Boots!! 😂😂 I started watching Season 5 - a friend said I had to watch it, as I’m an ex South African and had recently travelled through Namibia in a 4x4 with roof top,tents with some friends for over a month and Noraly followed almost the same route we did! Love love love your adventures!
I get such a good impression from these beautifull countries and their very friendly people.
Its really evident how much research you must put into your travels as in every episode I learn more about the world we live in, its peoples history and culture - it really separates your channel from most others and its why a good week will always include itchy boots - and those shrimp skewers had me drooling :)
Very interesting. Belize sounds like a good vacation destination and quite welcoming and easy going. Thanks noraly!
Wow, I live in Belize!! Never thought a big youtuber would be in my small country Belize.
For me it's pretty rare because belize is a pretty small and unknown-able country.
Glad to see Pretty Big UA-camrs Traveling through Belize❤Stay Safe.
Edit: Just Realized She passes by my primary school! The White wall and blue building to the right =0 10:34
It's nice to hear after so many episodes to welcome us in new country Belize. It's new country new place but can imagine it's very small country. Best of luck for the plan to head towards north.
Happy to see you recovered well after a heavy day and today was rather uninventful so you could relax more and enjoy. Stay safe and sleep tight. Slaap lekker hou het veilig en gas erop!
That's SO cool... I didn't know anything about the Mennonites being in Belize. Their lifestyle, the independence and self-reliance, is enviable these days. AND, there's an old Gold Rush song that goes, "North to Alaska, Go North, the Rush is on!". Not too rushed, I hope! But the winter there won't wait for anyone. Happy Trails!
Only four border crossings to go! and many, many more kilometers. I love watching your travels, such beautiful places and people. Thank you for sharing.
Hello from Kansas, USA. Very surprised to see a large Mennonite community in Belize. Very similar to the Mennonite communities in rural Missouri. Very nice people. Love your channel and have recommended it to everyone I know. Can't wait until you cross through the US. Safe travels!
My Beautiful Belize, I’m glad you had a great experience and thanks for the highlight, it’s a pity you didn’t get to see our other wonders but nevertheless welcome and safe trip on Mother Earth.
What nice scenery and beautiful weather. I am glad to see you had an easy border crossing. Your adventures are always nice, showing use how the world really looks like. Also thanks for the nice history lesson. You always seem to be spot on in what you are talking about. Have many more good and safe adventures and Let’s Go
Your enthusiasm entering Belize is infectious. It brought a BIG smile to my face. Lush greenery. What a great ride off the main road! That river crossing shows that your riding confidence has gone to another level. Your lunch made me hungry. Thank you once again for "pottering around" in South and Central America. Your adventures have been informative and fascinating. Safe travels.
Creative as usual in choosing places and really you deserve the title of best adventure or Dutch traveler my greetings to you from Saudi Arabia
Lots of adventures in Guatemala!
Excited to see what is next❣
Seguramente lo que nos mostrarás de los tres grandes países que te restan atravesar, será muy bueno. Pero tanto Guatemala como Belice han sido hermosos, con paisajes increíbles, y en el caso de Guatemala, con el agregado de esas pirámides mayas perdidas en la selva, que fueron sorprendentes y absolutamente apasionantes!! Es muy agradable que muestres en detalle esos lugares. No te seguiría si fueras directo a Alaska, sin ingresar y compartir costumbres, comidas, trajes típicos, hablar con los habitantes (me encanta cuando lo haces en español) , paisajes y riquezas arqueológicas de cada país. Gracias !!
Super nice comment! Also true 👍
Greetings from Germany. 😎
I'm so glad you made it to Hopkins! I love Hopkins! I was there last fall and will return this fall and again in the winter. The people are so friendly and I love that it isn't so commercialized.
que bueno viajar contigo , saludos y siempre con cuidado, un excelente paseo
Merci pour tout ces voyages à moto.
Tu es wonderwoman.
Une vrai guerrière du roadtrip.
Tchouss ✌🏻👍🏻.🇫🇷
Que interesante estar en esa comunidad es como viajar al pasado y que bonita playa la de Belize
Goodbye Guatemala leavingan an absolutely awesome set of adventures behind! Effortless crossing into Belize with its many languages including English! What a brilliant ride through the Menonite farmlands - so interesting to learn about their customs and avoidance of modern technology and see the horse traps and windmills. Hopkins on the Caribbean looks interesting, can't wit for more adventures in Belize! ❤️
What a lesson about people of Belize. Thanks Noraly for the wonderful lessons.
New country - new adventures! I'm so happy to be along for the "virtual" ride with you. I learn more about the world and its cultures everywhere you go. Stay safe.
There she is!! "where am I going, that's a good question" ... heard that before...
South and Central America are slowly lagging behind. There are a lot of great memories, yes, on this side of the screen too!
Thank you to our trusted travel partner 😜 Dhanno & Alaska.
You've shared a lot of joy with Noraly, thank you.
So…. 🤩 🤩 Tomorrow I will pick up my first motorcycle, red cb500x.
💭the inspirer is Itchy boots👍
We got it all in this episode of IB. big trucks,river crossing,jungle,mud,wild horses, mountains, oceans and some coconut rice all with beautiful blue eyes and blond hair. ty Noraly 😊
I had “one of those days” at work today and your thumbnail cheered me right up. Glad to see an easier boarder crossing, they all need one of that helpful guy. Looking forward to your adventures in another country and p.s. I think we all like your pottering around 😝
Tu viaje enseña más que cualquier libro. Hermoso!
Really enjoying this series ,seeing places I could never hope to see.
Just a reminder to Noraly and everyone else to be careful when eating shrimp, to be sure they were kept refrigerated before being cooked. Two years ago, I was in New Zealand and ate shrimp at a restaurant. It turns out the shrimp tasted okay, but were actually bad. I spent six days in the hospital. Shrimp taste great, but spoil easily. Just be sure what you are eating.
Querida Noraly, Belice es como un portal en el tiempo con esos campos de los Menonitas (sus orígenes ideológicos están en el ala pacifista del movimiento anabaptista, que se inició en Zurich, Suiza, en 1525, encabezado por Ulrich Zwingli)...por fin una ruta no tan técnica...que disfrutes tu estadía y recárgate de energía ya que se vienen los tramos mas largos...I see you next video ;)
Bravo Noraly your journey and filming is incredible thank you blessings from NZ
Aiaiai, Your videos are amazing!! It's like you have already taken me in all of your rides in South America .
Cheers from Kenya
Dear Noraly, thank you so much for giving us "Normalos" such an in-depth, personal (non-touristic) insight of those parts of the world we would otherwise never be able to get a glimpse on due to our boring every-day-lives! Gracias, thank you, Dankeschön, mille grazie, heel erg bedankt :)
Wednesday is a always good day. Is the day for another Noraly's adventure
Such big smiles at the end of the video! You cheered me up today, Noraly. Thank you!💐🌺
Another lovely Wednesday episode of Itchy Boots.. I'm better informed about Guatemala, Belize, the Mennonites and Central America in general thanks to Noraly.
National Geographic? No....Noraly Geographic!!
Stay safe :)
Noraly Geographic, I love it! (It's the Noraly Geographic Channel starring Noraly as Ichy Boots).
I agree with the newly thought out travel plans. I can't wait to see!
Our mind and wishes are following you having a nice and healthy journey !! Greetings from Cyprus!!!
Oh, memories, I spent 4 months in Belize (Jun-Sept 1989) when I was in the British Army, thanks for taking me back:-)
Your episodes are always a great combination of riding "adventures!" beautiful scenery, and educational information about this amazing world we all live in. Much food for thought and reflection. Thanks as always! "fly low 'n slow" (be safe) ;-)
Wow thank you for this video..it has been 20yrs since I've seen the border...a lot has changed...🇧🇿 yes English is our first language..the only country in Central America with English as first language
Nice to see that you had an epiphany about the distance. September is about the deadline to be heading through the Yukon. You will still have good weather, but you will also start experiencing snow. If you plan to be traveling that late you will need to upgrade your clothing. Glad to see a an easy passage into Belize. I was kind of surprised to see the prominence of English.
Former British colony, official language English
English is the official language of Belize and is spoken by 85% of the population. I was surprised, that she was surprised when he spoke to her in English.
There is also a fairly large expat community in Belize, made up of retired people mainly from the US and Canada. Again, a great video. Safe travels!
White immigrants from US and Canada.
I'm hoping for an "oopah" this episode from Noraly. You know she is having a great ride when you get one. Love the channel.
"Hoppa"...;)
Bee you tea full! I love Itchy Boots. The videos are the best. I hope we all can see all the hidden gems of this new beautiful country of Belize.
Класс! В каждом видео Норали рассказывает о культуре, истории, традициях разных стран. Хоть немного, но понимаю эти народности, которые там живут. Спасибо.
Being an old biker, I’m so glad you to see you mature, ( grow in skill, perspective, confidence and intuition), on your little bike. It’s like you’re growing to be one with your bike, rather than just a rider. Good on you! Thanks for successfully creeping north. I can’t wait for you to explore my home, the US. I expect you will go on north, rather than come east; but, I welcome you this way. Thanks for your hard work, the trip and the amazing videos. Kentucky. P.S. I have driven from central Texas to Fairbanks, Alaska. The western route north, along the mountains, is more beautiful.
I was in Belize several years ago. Nice little country! I have friends that live in Placencia. (peninsula just south of Hopkins) Hope you make it to Xunantunich, great Mayan temples and ruins. Fabulous view from the top!
