- In this episode I am riding to Fadiouth in Senegal, but I have to leave my motorcycle in Joal, on the other side of a wooden bridge. Even though I could easily ride over the bridge - motorcycles are not allowed on Fadiouth, and they have a very good reason why!

I couldn't help but notice that despite the density of human population on the island, the place was spotlessly clean. Not a sign of a plastic bag or candy wrapper anywhere. A very orderly community.
i noticed that also.
Yes, beautifully kept. I’ve seen the same immaculate care in many graveyards around the Dordoigne. Just total respect.
In rural Africa very few people buy things in plastic bags and it’s hard to find candy in the first place. But yes, a lovely island that the residents clearly cherish.
@@SternDrive different to what? what a very strange thing to say. I don't think christianity and cleanliness are synonymous
I did not see any weed too, although there flower bushes. Where did all those people were gone? Very few seen during your walk! And what a joyful sewing Jacques, beautiful colours! So relaxed..........
Norally, you dont need any clickbaits to attract more viewers. your clan is growing day by day..a loyal viewer😅
Isn’t she amazing?!
Totally agree
Only the name ITCHY BOOTS or NORALY is good enough. It's like the special saying, " An apple a day will keep rhe Doctor away", I will replace APPLE with NORALY or ITCHY BOOTS!. 😂😂❤❤
Having lived in Senegal for quite a few years, I have to say that these videos are one of the most honest and true representations of the country that I have seen online. You deserve an enormous amount of credit for succeeding where so many major productions and creators have failed!
Amen!
However not God
I adore your never-ending sense of wonderment and kindness everywhere you go, Noraly.
No risks, no life. All respect and appreciation for you
Its better to live a life of risk than die old never risking!
@@westpacificmarketanalytics2384 That's not my take on the world.
If you consider what Norali does as being "risks", then yes, a different life 🙂
PS: I personally think those are "risks", so I do have a different life myself, but I don't have "no life", I am still very happy with what I have, and this content as a risk-free bonus to my current life 🙂
I have so much respect for this lady 🙏💕
It a cool place…..thanks for sharing it all with as.
I am so amazed how each country has so much rich culture and beauty to share with the world. Thank you for showing a small part of it to us.
That motorcycle cop was really cool - looking behind him and driving really straight LOL. Amazing scenery through the trees and superb drone shots. The shell Island was fascinating too. 👍👍
From the incredible Baobab trees, breathtaking drone scenery, the town of Fadiouth, the islands of shells, the local people, to Noraly's uncanny ability to explain things and hold our attention, this was another amazing educational and entertaining episode. I can probably speak for others and say when Noraly is happy, we are happy, and she looked genuinely happy in this video. I have said it before but what we are blessed to be witnessing will never be duplicated. This amazing woman is truly a Godsend. Thank you Noraly. Peace, ❤❤❤
Yes blessings to you, your observations and Noraly. I am traveling behind you (not missing an episode and catching up fast ❤
An island that was basically made by its inhabitants must feel quite a bit like home to the Nerderlandse you. 😊
The shells would mainly trap silt and form the soil that is the actual fundament of the island, so the process must really be similar to how land was gained from the North Sea. A fascinating place indeed!
I enjoyed this one a lot! 🤗😍
…and the 20 minutes of being in sync with the fellow Itchy Booters are over again. 🥴 See you all on Wednesday! 🤗
quite different really. The shells are dumped on an existing sand bar probably, what allows the trees to grow and gives the whole place structure.
The place is above sea level, but barely. No pumping needed though probably need to constantly bring in new material to counter erosion.
In the Netherlands the polders are created by building a sea wall around an area, then pumping out the water.
That pumping never ends, if the pumps were to fall silent for extended periods the place floods.
See you Wednesday fellow Itchy Bootter 😊
@@AidaJof 🙏👍🤗
The trees in route to Senegal are very unique! Your drone footage brings the surrounding area into perspective. A room with a view! How cool! Plus, an island of shells! Must the only one in the world; very nice people on the island and no motorized vehicles. It seems to be very peaceful! Thanks for sharing another day in your adventures! Ride safe Noraly!
The courage and resourcefulness of this young woman is amazing. She is someone to be admired.
Indeed
without camera and UA-cam you won't find anything in her
lol@@crescentmoon256
Our Noraly exudes a friendly confidence everywhere she goes and its noticed instantly by anyone she meets. I gave up worrying about her when she cruised through Central America. (Her incredible ability with languages is the key...)
The drone shots just get better and more compelling to watch. It's surprising how dramatic they can be. To see Noraly off in the distance as a little speck and the entire landscape around her, is a knock-out punch every time.
I learn so much about the local cultures she goes through it's better than a college lecture. And she puts us right there, too. Up close and personal.
Yes I agree and from what we have all seen I can think of no better teacher than Noraly when it comes to her Drone tuition workshops she could make any good student into a hollywood or better level videographer or with some extra work movie maker as that is complicated somewhat move with so much more logistics involved
She draws people in with her positive energy coupled with her smile 😁.
Nuff respect
I agree
Noraly's amazing editing skills come to the fore once again. Have you all ever noticed how on the drone footage the scene changes with the beat? That's so cool
Yes, she is not only adept with her photography skills but editing as well as sound editing ... and we get all of this rolled into one amazing package in Noraly🤩
@@AidaJof Yes the real Wonder Woman
I admire your fearlessness and sense of adventure!! Keep going, Noraly!
I imagine 90% of your subscibers (myself included) would be terrified to do what you are doing so it's nice to be able to watch from a distance. Stay safe!
not really terrifying...my bike is just too heavy(1200 gsa) and i got not the time free i need and the cash. I was Riding Zurich, switzerland to north east Iran by bicycle in 2004/05 ;)
Not to mention her ability to switch languages on demand!.
@@roger38888 I grew up in Germany and was able to do that..BUT that was many years ago..
It's not that terrifying when you have money...if something goes wrong you just pay your way out of it, all the way to the point that you can just abandon everything and catch a plane home.
If it was me, the language barrier is the main probem....
From cow pies and Baobab trees, to dry fish and shell bricks, and all the folks along the way, each and every video is an experience unto itself. Love it when the drone flies high and the appropriate music begins. This is beyond moto vlogging. Noraly is adventure. 🙂👍👍
What an unexpected surprise - shell islands! Gorgeous, quaint, clean and peaceful. Loved your interactions too - a lady of many languages - and, your big smile never fails to win people over. ❤
Great video Noraly - thank you for sharing your adventure and showing the world how nice the people of Senegal are.
Great episode here! I wonder if you think you could have ridden Ronin on this trip? Or is just safer on the lighter, more dirt-oriented bike?
“Excuse me” and “thank you@ to the cattle 🐄 is amazing 🤩 Noraly is so polite !!! Well done our dear rider !!
I find cemeteries interesting. Some are well-cared for and beautiful, while some are abandoned and depressing. But a random stroll through one can reveal the local history and cultural artifacts of the region.
Trust noraly, she ALWAYS bring us to places so special and unique, this time it’s island made of shells.
Never heard of this island. As I’ve said SHE HAS IT ALL.! Also bringing cheer to people she meet.
Better than Nat Geo.
Thank you so much
Very interesting these shell islands, really special. And when I saw the police biker passing by you, I thought he was going to stop you for speeding! 😂👍🏻🇧🇪
How special is that....to find a place where you can say it does not matter what your religion is, that all belief systems are welcome......extraordinary!!!! Many thanks Noraly for showing us these special places and cultures !!!!
Noraly is proof….Nice people attract nice people! So special and awesome! Stay safe Noraly!
The colors, textures, and variety of buildings on that first island are intriguing. I think a photographer could lose him or herself there for days on end, catching the changes in light, color and contrast. Wonderful video!
Hi, Itchy, when you are in The Gambia (and you will be through it before you know it ;-) as it is as you know one of the smallest countries in the Africa. You are invited for dinner or lunch at RendezVous Steakhouse in Kololi where we will treat you to a great meal by grill master Anton. Let me know when your interested. Have a great trip.
I hope she see's this. You may need to @ her directly
@@81722Les Your right
As the videos always are an undisclosed number of weeks behind the actual travel, she must have zoomed past your place some time in April. 🙃
It's hard to describe how wonderful it is after a tough day of work to come home, sit down with my air pods in and lose myself in your (by and large gentle) adventures on the other side of the ocean. I have now watched dozens of episodes. Some of the countries you are travelling through I have worked in myself. But I never saw the sights you are exposing us to. For that I am grateful. I am especially grateful that you are showing the kind humanity in the great majority of the world's population. Thank you Noraly. (from Canada)
An island made entirely of shells...only on Noraly's shows do we ever see such things. Keep up the good work, Noraly👍
One of the aspects that amazes me the most on your trips, Noraly, is your hability and luck to find gentle people wherever you go and north of Africa has not being different. What cool people you had met! May that luck continue with you.
Best regards from Brazil. ✌
i bet there are lots of bad people that she prefers to not show
@@Torres-tw3ic
This is probably true but it don't diminish the gentleness of the people who are depicted on her videos.
Plus, If she chooses not to show us the harsh guys that she had met on her way, such option may serve as a statement of general advantages related to kindness and the sense of brotherhood that should (at least in my humble opinion) guide mankind.
Peace from Brazil. ✌
@@felipedourado5721 there are advantages in kindness and in darker traits too, its a wild jungle.
@@Torres-tw3ic
Yes, it's a wide and thick jungle but when I praise gentleness I'm not saying that we must be so bland that we may ending up stomped by other people.
What I tryed to say is that even if there are situations on life on which fists are required, most of the time smiles are more powerful and they are much more adequate to build a better world.
Perhaps I'm some sort of a dreamer, but, fortunatelly, as Lennon wrote, I'm not the only one.
Once again, peace from Brazil. ✌
@@felipedourado5721
What a fascinating and beautiful place Noraly. I am still trying to imagine the years and millions of shells that it took to make those islands. Even in the video the calm of this place came through and the relaxed warmth of the people. Pretty special and thanks for sharing it with us. I love trees and paint them often as portraits in my landscapes paintings. Next, I am going to look up those big trees and learn more about them.
Baobab trees occur in Southern Africa and Madagascar as well and have enchanting folklore surrounding them. Suggest you Google them to see which of them appeals to you😉 they are indeed a magnificent sight!
@@lindadavies6109 thanks so much and yes, I was amazed at the variety in their shape.
@@TerrillWelch plesh all mine. Africa is a fascinating place to live. Be blessed 🕊
Hi Noraly✌️ Everytime you say," I'm leaving the highway now," I think "Oh my God, where is she going now?". And I love it!
People seem really friendly there. Indeed, special place. Makes me want to visit Senegal.
This is unexpected a Sunday entry
Anyways looking forward to Noraly's journey she shares with us 👍
@@joethomas8241 Yep.
We get to go on holiday and not leave home PLUS see our girl
From her email newsletter dated May 1, 2023: "I'll also give you a little scoop here - from now on, I'll be releasing videos every *Wednesday* and *Sunday.* That means, I'll be going down from 3 episodes per week, to 2 episodes per week. Over the past years I've been absolutely killing myself with the workload of filming and producing three episodes per week."
Thoroughly enjoyable day! The new drone seems to be higher resolution...gorgeous footage. All the shells! Unbelievable how the islands came about. As always you meet such personable people...just a treat to watch. The cemetery was amazing. A cool first ride from Dakar! Thanks, Noraly!
Banned ?
These two islands remind me of Montenegro Bay of Kotor, where there's an island in the middle of the bay built by the people using rocks. It's smaller than this island and also has a church on it. It's pretty cool to see that this is a global way of people expanding the living space near the coast. Using shells is pretty amazing and I can't even comprehend how you start with this idea given that people started this a long time ago.
There are many cemeteries in my home country of Bosnia and Herzegovina with mixed religions buried in the same cemetery.
Thanks for the great content Noraly, this is so much more down to earth with actual people and it's in ways more informative than the documentaries I've seen about African countries.
I love the way you talk to the animals Noraly. They seem to understand. That was the quietist episode you've ever done. Love it. Peace
Dirt roads are not wild enough anymore. Noraly is looking for cow trails to make it even more fun. Thank you for the beautiful sceneries among those impressive baobabs and your visit on those islands meeting with ever smiling people such as Jacques and Jule. Our Dutch, English, Spanish speaking explorer should eventually be adding French as the next feather to her hat.
Hey Itchy Boots! I really enjoyed this video! That relaxed vibe is really coming across rather well! I believe this new schedule is agreeing with you and therefore with us as well! Pretty interesting to see that little sea shell island! I’m really happy that you can continue to share your travels because I really enjoy watching what interests you and fascinates you. You have such joy and enthusiasm for life! Thanks for sharing your adventures!! Cheers from Texas!!❤❤
Hey, Lucinda. I noticed that relaxed vibe with Itchy Boots also. Agree with your comments. Watching from East Texas.
@@sharonferrell8930 Thanks Sharon! Yay Texan fans! Following from South Central Texas!
You looked so relaxed walking through the shell islands Noraly. This video made my day. Seeing you explore such unique magical places where people live. I never would have imagined it. Like a fairy story for real. So tidy and clean, all made of seashells. The grave yard island took my breath away. Beautiful. You are getting good at scary city rides! Thank you for
I really enjoyed Senegal. The place is awesome and people are so friendly. They also have excellent universities, at least in IT from I could judge. Greetings to my Senegalese colleagues if they read this.
True, I'm a computer engneering student in the Polytechnic School of Dakar
All I can say is that you are one very adventurous and daring Lady. With your drone shots. fantastic editing and all of the info on your surroundings, your videos are always interesting, educational, and yes, amazing. Thank you for taking us all along on your adventures.
You automatically get a BIG THUMBS up on your videos, Noraly and I am happy to know that we have definite days of the week to get your adventures. Senegal to us westerners seems so foreign and remote, yet today's video shows us that its people, villages and customs are so very nice and in many ways an example of gentility and humanity. Thank you. GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
Most Americans didn’t go out of the country . So most people in the west don’t know a lot about the world . Yea nice beautiful people and the island is cool
The aerial views of all the baobabs was so specia and the islands of shells truely fascinating! Agin Itchy Boots takes us to spectacular places where we meet special people. Thank you!!!
What a charmer Noraly is. Everyone melts to her fresh open nature.
Your guest house is perfect ❤ and touring the islands was fun. But your drone videos and music stole my heart. ❤
Love you Itchy Boots! We love your adventures of worldly travels! Stay strong 💪 Mighty Warriors 🤠 Much love to everyone and their families from Cedar City Utah USA currently 🤠💪🙏🏵️🤠🙏
Your travel videos have expanded my knowledge of different cultures and places. I must say, the Shell Island you visited in Fadiouth was absolutely exceptional! Keep exploring, I can't wait to see where you'll take us next! 😁🙌
Thank you Noraly for this episode and for featuring the very friendly people of Senegal. The cemetery island is truly unique in my experience… muslims and christian sharing the same space…and very refreshing to see it ✌️ Peace Noraly and ride safe. Dan. 👍🇨🇦
Wow... what an amazing place..... you never fail to show us some interesting places... and your editing and choice of music is always top notch. :)
Ever fascinating, ever joyful! Brilliant video as always!
Thanks for taking us along.
What a fascinating place! The trees, the landscape, and the people - another great episode, Noraly!
What a wonderful way these people live. If only their acceptance of others were universal. So nice to view this through your eyes. Thank you. ❤
What a nice little place and very easy going from your previous adventure. The shell island was an interesting place and a nice bit of history from you. Have more good adventures.
Ah, so nice to be out of the city! Beautiful landscape.
Shell (and coral) as a building material was also popular centuries ago in the US in Florida - it's called coquina.
Check out the Coral Castle sometime. 😊
Another very interesting trip, enjoyed the scenery and the churches. Amazing how they built those islands out of shells, the cemetery was so special. Have a good night. Stay Safe!!😃👍👋
What a fascinating place! The trees, the shell islands, and that drone footage was fantastic. Thanks Noraly, for bringing us along!
Execellent presentation of your Senegal adventure. The huge trees, shelll shock, heat and your no sweat attitude keep me coming back for your next episode. Keep on sharing. 👍 ❤
Interesting, thank you for taking me to these parts of Senegal. As a West African who is yet to visit Senegal, I'm inspired
You are so amazing and an inspiration to women everywhere. As a man 76, I am appalled at how women are now treated here in the US and wish more women young and old could see there are many possibilities for them to find happiness by following their own dreams.
I too am 76yrs and it’s been 50yrs since I Honda’d through PNG. Love travelling with this beautiful lady. And a lady she is. Am doing outreach work in Australia meeting very damaged people sharing this work with ladies who care and are kind with gifts we men do not have. One day soon, before this world implodes, we will see a cleansed earth where “the meek shall inherit the earth and live forever on it”.
Thank you for your comment. Pritty nice.
That was stunning! This fascinating landscape with the monumental trees, the islands of shells with the gentle, friendly people and the peaceful cementry. The whole video was something very special👍👍👍.
What a journey Noraly ! No Pain no gain . You'e a real star.
You always seem to amaze me, on the locations you visit. Awe-inspiring content, great documentary style footage and commentary
Absolutely wonderful! The places you take us to don't appear on any tourist trails, and what you show is amazing!
Noraly, Noraly, you can stil amaze me with your open attitude to every one that comes along. Deep deep respect for that. As always a pleasure to watch you. Big thumbs up ride save 👍👍🇳🇱 17:40
So happy to see you this Sunday morning! We love you Noraly! Stay safe on your adventures! Love following you!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 One of my favorites!! Thank you once again for sharing this beautiful look into the world. Making a simple walk through a cemetery a peaceful, spiritual experience is art. Your vision, so many years ago in your first videos, has come true. Congratulations on your artistic mastery of this medium! ... ride safe.😎
Fadiouth is a very interesting place to visit! Both islands are very cool! Thank you for visiting these two special places.
What wonderful lands you're exploring. Imagin a place where all religons are accepting and respectful of the other, amazing.
Great travel vlog as always, I really love following you on your journey. Your vlogs are just as good or better then any travel program on commercial television.
Thank you Noraly for taking us through those wonderful landscapes and trails that fill our hearts with love and peace, for once again allowing us to dream of trips that lead us to meet kind people
"I'm getting out of Dakar" You're not in da car! You're on da motorcycle!
The island made up of shells should be on every adventure bucket list. Amazing. The earlier traffic was crazy,glad you made it through safely,and a Police escorts. Ride safe young lady.
Another great little tour, Noraly. You’ve once again found a gem to visit and research. Always a pleasure to listen to the local knowledge you’re able to dig up. Happy trails to you Noraly, more enjoyment is certainly in your future…❤❤❤Rick
Les paysages sont toujours aussi magnifiques.
C'est incroyable ! Ça et la sympathie, la bienveillance naturelle des gens... de nos jours ça donne encore foi à l'humanité.
i wish every country in the world co-existed like the people in this place. thank you noraly for taking us to these beautiful journey and places 💙💙
Thank you for takings us on your GOAT trails. They are awesome.🤙🇨🇦
Wow so many Baobab trees fantastic to see in the drone footage, good work Noraly 👍
It's very impressive the places you go and the extraordinary story in them. Thank you Noraly. God bless your adventures.🙏👍😍.
What an absolute contrast to life here in the United States. Another vlog presenting a part of the world I may likely never see with vibrant culture and people. It's just awesome. Thanks again for sharing.
Like a country road, a walk in a cemetery is a good place to relax and reflect. Noraly always finds a new angle on a place and never boring.
What a fascinated and unique place. Thank you for that. Always something interesting and educational on Itchy Boots. Safe journey and thank you once again 🇿🇦
Another epic episode! So loving the interaction with the people. Goes to show you if you show respect you will receive respect. Safe travels my friend!!
14:14 I think the true highlight of travel is not just passing by while looking at the scenery, but going among the people and staying there for a while. Noraly videos are fun in that sense.
How beautiful the world can be when we accept and respect each other for who we are.
I give your shows a like before I watch, seems like I'm not alone. Every one is excellent!
❤ I love you Noraly it's always so good too see your videos and your great adventures! Keep going girl! Love from Argentina🇦🇷 ❤
I was stunned to see this place. My postdoc during the past 2.5 years, was part of a greater EU research project that aimed to create and commercialise sustainable concrete, where seashells are used as the aggregate. I think that we have some lessons to learn from these people :)
How the hell you find your way through some of these obstacles is truly amazing.
That was a nice window a part of Senegal that most people wouldn’t know exists, thank you Noraly, great short burst documentary style reporting at its best ❤️
So good to be invited back to the channel! And the journey continues. And I wonder... are we all the the sum of our journeys? If so, thank you for sharing your journeys, Noraly! For without these wonderful views, we might never see such places! Peace and joy in your travels!
Good morning my beautiful viewers, welcome to itchy woods, glad to have you hoping you will enjoy this episode
Thank you for being such a wonderful woman and showing such leadership to all young women. Also thank you for going back to Africa and showing the world the beauty in it.
Fascinating place. I remember the Baobob trees in Kenya...so massive a life form in such a dry environment. Thaks for taking us along. Be well, stay safe.
Awesome video Noraly! The places you go are always so interesting! Thank you! Ride safe, be safe!
Africa is blessed!!! Its amazing for an African like me living in Africa to experience all these places that I will almost never visit in my lifetime through your lenses. God bless you!!!
I like this change to 2 videos each week. Maybe it's just where you are and the people you meet, but it seems you are more relaxed and taking the time to interact more with local people, In any case, every video you post is a new and interesting journey.
Once again, Thank you, Noraly, for giving us an opportunity to see and learn about places and people that we will most likely never even know about otherwise!
I had never heard about this island of shells, and now it has become more familiar to me through your amazing videos.
You have helped to make so many places in the world become real to us, and have helped us to see and understand that the people in these places are real and worth knowing!
You do us all a great service!
It’s great getting to see Noraly back on her bike again and riding Alaska off roads. Itchy boots vlogs are like Star Trek ‘s Starship voyage - expanding the horizon beyond limits. Noraly sharing the map is like Captain Kirk sharing the log. It’s amazingly entertaining…. Ride on and ride safe Noraly
Bravo Noraly always great viewing and narration to go where no mainstream media go, thank you blessings
Love her walk on the Islands of shells .. so wonderful both religions co-exist and respect each other .. we are one world. Thank you Noraly for this beautiful video
Muslims and Christians coexist peacefully in Senegal, we celebrate our religious holidays together
