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.
That pile of rice had me yearning for soy sauce. Language mix is wild. Is everyone expected to speak English?
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.
@@ravenfeather7087 Victoria Island? Did you mean Vancouver island? lol
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.
@@ravenfeather7087 l
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!
Excellent point
My thoughts exactly!!! Well Said
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.
Absolutely agree, but I must admit, I am worried about Mexico, lets hope it follows the same safe reality as the other countries.
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!!!
Lmfao omg
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!!
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.

@@rossmunro277 yup!!
Sounds pretty much like the Mennonites in PA (Pennsylvania). I used to get fresh eggs and whole milk from a farm nearby. I never knew they were down in Belize too.
Belize has a mixed variety of cultures like Creole, Mestizo, Mennonites Mayan and morethe mennonites also make houses that are taken to a location by a truck and police escorts
There is a community of Mennonites called Spanish Lookout that have accepted technology and have developed a larger advanced agricultural and business community. They speak mainly Low German but are almost all fluent in English
This is all so very interesting. I never knew about this.
Yes they where there in 82-3 when I was there
@@jonathanguenther6410 If I remember correctly the ones in the part of PA I was in drove cars and only black ones.
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!
They call the Mennonites now the Moneynites in Belize 🤣 (because they make a lot of money with the agriculture…)
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.
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.
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 👍🏻
Can you share the rule your great-grandfather broke? I mean just to educate us its fine if you can't tho
I grew up Mennonite.
HE VOTED FOR TRUMP!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
I'm very interested to know more about Mennonite or Amish they have similarity common in culture with Pashtun people,
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
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.
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
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!
Ive been wanting to know more about Belize and we are so near each other (I'm from Honduras)
Im from belize
I live in Belize so I'm a belizian🇧🇿
BELIZA belong to Guatemala
Belize belongings to.Guatemala
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!
Check
Hey I am from Belize city you no the come talk rash bout my croutry
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
best part of every monday, wednesday, and friday is waiting for the newest itchy boots uploads!!
Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday here in New Zealand
As a citizen of Belize, thank you for passing through. Its music to my ears when people talk positive about our gorgeous country. Tiny but mighty!
I want to eat coconut rice !
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.
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).
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 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.
couldn't agree more with your comment 💖💖
For those interested in the story of menonite people in the Americas there is a recently published book titled Meno Moto by Cameron Dueck. The author himself a menonitę travels on a motorcycle visiting all the settlements across the Americas. I recommend it.
Thank you Noraly for motivating me to get back on a motorcycle. Don't rush through Belize and Mexico they are more interesting than US and Canada. I fear you will not enjoy riding through the two northern countries on a small bike.
Cheers from Canada!
I have been wondering for weeks, how she is going to do while crossing the U.S., it will be very interesting to see what routes she chooses. And, where she stays at night. Because unlike the countries in Central America, and also when she was in Africa, I have never seen nice places to stay like that here in the U.S., only over-priced hotels with unfriendly (and sometimes scary) people everywhere. Clearly though, her 300cc bike would not be the best choice for U.S. highways. But of course it's perfect for the riding she's been doing so far.
@@trevorjameson3213 I traveled alone in US on a 1982 Yamaha Seca 650 in the nineties. A very lonely experience and the people I met scared me or where afraid of me. I am hoping Noraly will have a more pleasant trip and maybe show me what I missed.
Cost of food and accommodation has kept me away from holidaying in Canada for the last three decades.
Lois Pryce travelled on a Yamaha XT 225 across US and Ed March crossed Canada in the winter on a Honda c90. I find it unpleasant to ride my xt225 with a Dodge pickup on my tail who just won't overtake.
The Itchy Boots spirit is so special as it spreads across the northern America continent.
totalmente de acuerdo...no he logrado ver bien q es lo q tiene ese ser humano ...pero es tan real y bello...q pensé q solo.yo lo había visto
Okey...yeah ✌👍
@@vicentechinchilla457 muy bonita sonrisa la de la guatemalteca empleada de la aduana
…..Waiting patiently, to welcome her here in 🇨🇦
I am a fan of You. You are traveling across the world. It is always inspiring to watch your videos
Glad that crossing into Belize went smoothly and you had good roads. Your lunch in Hopkins looked scrumptious! Enjoy your stay and stay safe. I look forward to your journey onward into Mexico. Belize looked really pretty. Have fun. 😊👍
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 .
I'm so glad I came across this video. I'm from Belize and I have to tell you, there are so many amazing places you need to see and even better things to do when you decide to come back..!
amazing content. new sub ❤
Hello another Belizean here, live in 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 ❤️
A very refreshing view of Belize. I have friends that vacationed there and loved it, and then I watched Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee and got a very different view. Now I believe that his time there may have been shady because HE was shady and surrounded himself with shady people.... which could happen anywhere. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos. I got way behind and am trying to catch up!
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.✨
Every time I see a new video, I think 'thank God she's still alive and well'.
For sure 👍
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
I believe she is at least 2 weeks ahead of what we are currently watching.
@@groverearp2600 Yes, that does not change that she got out of whatever we're currently watching because we're watching it.
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!
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.
Thank you, sir. I appreciate your comment. Many sincere greetings from Poland.
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.
Can't she touch base and interview/interact with some of the Mennonites of Belize?
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
Welcome to my little country of Belize, I was so looking forward to you visiting my country. I live in the U.S. now but I’ve been working in Saudi Arabia for the past 7 years. It would be nice if you can visit the little islands of the coast that we call Cayes (Keys). We also have the world’s second largest barrier reef and a great big blue hole. Enjoy your travels and ride safe!
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
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.
English is the official language in Belize as it was a former British colony. Used to be called British Honduras.
@@BrassLock cheers Dave
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
@@louburnett6782 now that I didn't know. Thanks.. Crazy stuff
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).
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.
Nearly impossible to top the last two episodes, however for a border crossing, this was still a very entertaining episode with even some dirt roads, a water crossing, horse traffic jam and a lot of local/cultural information! Funny to see that you speak Italian too.🤌👌🖖🤞😅
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
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.
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 ;)
I never get tired of hearing her intro music. It tells me you are about to watch another great adventure. Thanks again Noraly.
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.
The road from the river back toward Belize has improved incredibly since I traveled it in a Suzuki Samori. In 1991 the narrow road was littered with "sleeping policemen" known commonly as speed bumps. For miles on end, the locals would have scraped them off the pavement surface leaving a harmless black line between the warning signs. Then there would be the spot where the asphalt mound remained! I was glad the little 4x4 was a rental.
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!
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.
Thanks Itchy Boots for the best channel on UA-cam! Much love to everyone from Ava Missouri USA 🌻🤠🙏
Loving these lessons on cultures and history. Noraly is my favourite teacher!
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!
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.
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!
Thanks for a beautiful, interesting ride-along.
Belize looks to be a charming little country.
Love those Menonitas. I encountered some of them in Chihuahua, Mexico.
They have a fascinating history.
Looking forward to your journey through Mexico.
Onward
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.. 👍🙏..
I am from belize and I had never been to those back roads where you’ve been! I am from San Ignacio and it was so beautiful when you said” welcome to Belize” ♥️.I am glad your visit was so great and that you are safe on the road. New subscriber here! We look forward to your journey! Next time you’re passing thru we would love to host you and show you around.
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) ;-)
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.
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 🙏✝️❤️🌹😀👍
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!
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👍
When Noraly lets you know that she is getting antsy, you'd better step aside because she's coming through, with or without you. Remember the Kalahari rally? She mopped the floor with her competitors...most of them experienced rally riders....
In the videos I watched many of her competitors stopped to help her every time she broke down or experienced other problems, even though in doing so they blew their own chances of winning.
@@antonioverdad5071 I bet that the riders who stopped to help knew that they did not have a chance to qualify for the Main event. As I recall those who helped were well over 40 years old. High speed on dirt bikes is for the young and fit plus PROS and they will run over you should you be the reason for a bottle neck. As an older rider, I always moved out of the way for faster and I and stopped to see if help was needed. Always yield to the PROS, they need the prise money.
@@jimmieporter3282 Good point well made, but the point I was making was that Noraly didn't "wipe the floor with her competitors" as a previous commenter said, rather the serious competition had already gone through like you said, and the others stopped to help. So no floors got wiped, unless we say that the serious competitors wiped the floor with everyone else including Noraly!
¡Que grandes aventuras, Noraly! Espero poder seguirte hasta que llegues a Alaska. Y como dice Charly Ziniguan, No se sabe lo que el Guionista nos tiene preparado.
Belize looks like a nice place !! Next month is summer, so you should be headed for Alaska . Like Norway, it won't stay warm for long. Please consider my suggestion and get a MOTORBIKE WINCH. With all the bad roads you travel on, you would find it handy when you fall off your bike , and you have to pick it up again. Also handy when your bike gets stuck. They are light weight and easy to pack. There are some UA-cam videos. Maybe one of the big cities like Mexico City would have one in a motorbike shop. Or you could order online, and have it sent to you where you stay.
But we like it when you "potter around" Noraly 😊 then we get to experience and see so much more ☺️
Lots of adventures in Guatemala!
Excited to see what is next❣
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 😝
Love your videos,they are always so informative. I learn so much from you.You're like my favorite teacher lol
Greetings Norally 🙂🙂🙂 I thought you would have issues with the importation of Alaska in Belize. Looks like it's all good riding around in the country and hoping you won't also have issues exiting Belize and Importing into Mexico. Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Belize looks like a place you could thoroughly explore and enjoy what it has to offer. Thank you Noraly for sharing your adventures…..
Hi Noraly. Continuing my education with ItchyBoots. I was not aware of the Mennonite population in Belize. Being Canadian , I maybe should have known ! Glad you had an easy transition from Guatemala to Belize. You didn’t mention a temporary import permit for Alaska. Is that because it is a short visit and not necessary ? Thanks for the video and stay safe. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Thanks! No, I did do the temporary import, this is always required (unless it’s a country where you need a carnet de passage, but that’s not the case in North, central or South America :))
Love hearing the history of all the places you have been . Safe travels itchy boots 👢..❤️
Merci pour tout ces voyages à moto.
Tu es wonderwoman.
Une vrai guerrière du roadtrip.
Tchouss ✌🏻👍🏻.🇫🇷
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.
I really wonder if you will make it to Alaska on time this year, just looked on Google Maps and from Hopkins, Belize to the nearest village in Alaska, Hyder, it is still 7.327 km. Hyder is easy to access from Stewart, British Columbia, and it is the only place in the U.S where there is absolutely no border control, though the only way out is where you came in. But somehow I have a strong feeling you plan to go up to Prudhoe Bay (9.829 km) or even Barrow. Anyway, it remains thrilling.
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
que bueno viajar contigo , saludos y siempre con cuidado, un excelente paseo
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. 😎
Thank you for taking me to such wonderful places I would never have seen. Be safe. You are very brave.
This brings back memories of when I was in Belize 36 years ago. It is a beautiful country with wonderful 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 :)
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.
Hi Noralee! Welcome to my Beautiful county Belize 🇧🇿.
Hope you can make it down to San pedro , Ambergris Caye.
Benque is My Father’s hometown.
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
I discovered you a few days ago and started to follow your journey on youtube. It is really great what you are doing and how you are sharing it. I really enjoy your videos. You are a great inspiration and now I am also looking at your blog to get some inspiration for equipment too. Keep riding!!
I would like to say that some other people here are spot on in that your timing is off on the completion of this journey. I had often thought that your intention was to winter in Mexico. As one who lives in northern Canada (Alberta), we have seen snow in every month of the year. Not likely but it has happened. Also by September the temps start dropping noticeably, and you are heading north. If I may make a suggestion as well, avoid the coastal US and Canada. They are FAR too crowded and expensive. Stay a state or two over such as Arizona / New Mexico and likewise in Canada, by travelling through Alberta, then Northern BC. Accommodations are cheaper, as are fuel prices, and less people. Safe travelling!
Coastal United States is crowded in the big cities, but there's a reason why, it's a beautiful place.
Also lots of volcanoes for her to explore.
I wonder if she might decide to race ahead to Canada at some point and then return to the US southwest and Mexico in the fall. No point roasting yourself in the summer weather in those locations only to arrive too late to Canada/Alaska and have to wait another 10 months to visit comfortably on a motorcycle.
Keep in mind that the rainy season is officially starting on 1st June. I used to live nearby in the Riviera Maya and I remember one year it started raining on 1st June and didn't stop for 10 days :-D
Hi Noraly. I love it when you take the " back roads," and educate us. Thank You!
Nitpicky a bit but in English we just say " I have insurance/buy insurance" NOT "I have AN insurance/buy AN insurance" :)
Класс! В каждом видео Норали рассказывает о культуре, истории, традициях разных стран. Хоть немного, но понимаю эти народности, которые там живут. Спасибо.
Thanks a lot Noraly for the viewings and commentaries, they help to be in the journey with you. Have a lovely ride! ❤️
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.
Doraly,👍👍
I’m so enjoying your videos. Belize looks interesting especially the people and the Caribbean Sea.
Really enjoying this series ,seeing places I could never hope to see.
My friend you went to Belize. I built a church in Dangriga on the shore. Pastor Felix and his family are amazing. Please visit. Called the lightning church in English. Miss it so much. God bless your journey. Thank you
Wow! I don't know about you, but this was so much more relaxed than your previous four or five episodes. I did not expect to see the Mennonite community in a tropical paradise. That was cool. Their ground look very dark, rich and fertile. Thanks for this episode. Noraly. I expect your subscriber numbers to start climbing as you go further north. Thanks for introducing me to Charly Sinewan's channel. I'm very much enjoying that too! 😎🤠
I can't explain it, but I love it when a road just fades into a beach.
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!
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!
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! ❤️
It's a pity you didn't show any views from Hummingbird Highway between Belmopan and Dangriga.... It's one of the top views
Very interesting. Belize sounds like a good vacation destination and quite welcoming and easy going. Thanks noraly!
Girl I’m 62 years old and you’ve got me shopping for an enduro/ duel sport bike. I’d love to make the run from Texas to northern Alaska running back country as much as possible.
