Well done to the gracious customs officer and his colleagues who helped Noraly not only find a hotel near to her but also took her there and left her a bag of oranges. Great guys, may God bless your kind hearts.
When these people heard about Noraly"s UA-cam channel...Of course they looked it up....And then called friends about her....I don't know this is true but it seems like human nature to me. Noraly"s patience and generosity of spirit would encourage kindness in others. I have always been a sour butthead, so I know about these things....LOL
@@geoms6263 it’s not just about cameras, people in Middle East are usually very welcoming. Not just to westerners but to people from neighbour countries too. People from Iraq are very welcoming to people from turkey or Iran and vice versa.
Dear Noraly, 🇮🇷 Greetings from Iran! As a professional motorcyclist based in Tehran, I am an avid follower of your adventures. I own a racing motorcycle and am part of a dedicated group of Iranian motorcyclists, comprising both men and women. We would be thrilled to have the opportunity to meet you in Tehran and show you our vibrant motorcycling community. It would be an honor to host you. Wishing you continued success, Ashkan Tehran, Iran 🇮🇷
Having watched all of Noraly's adventures, my main take from these videos is that watching global news could make a person view some of these countries with suspicion. However, everywhere she goes, she is met with kindness, hospitality and respect (apart from the bike thieves of course). This makes me think people should watch more Itchy Boots and less news!
Well said. My thoughts as well. However, there does seem to be a change in attitude once they have a chance to check her credentials and realize there are 2.5 million people watching.
I have no idea why... but the guy putting the oranges on your bike just about broke me. Such a simple, quiet act of kindness. All these people refusing to let you pay for food, all this radical welcome... it's just so beautiful.
Angels in human form, good people, are everywhere. Many thanks to the man, who spoke English, who guided Norally to the hotel and to the guy, who kindly gave her oranges. Exactly what she needs right now. Respect to you too, Noraly ❤🎉
I don't think I'll get a heart from Noraly, but she'll get one from me 💗. I'll be 70 years old any minute. I sat on a motorcycle 50 years ago - my lovely Jawa 350 Californian. I'm still walking a little bit... I'm gonna see the world with Noraly, and more importantly, I haven't gotten bored yet. It's not even possible. I wish you many more bags of oranges...😀😀😀
You'd be foolish to be disappointed by not getting a heart from Noraly. She spends such a great part of her day riding, a meal in the evening, and then hours of downloading video and editing it subsequently... how much time does that leave her in the remainder of the day to read the thousands of comments that are left here? With each such video post, she probably, most of the time, only has time to look at the comments once, and if your comment doesn't happen to be one of the first 50 to 100 (if she even has time to read that many) that she sees, one's comment no matter how good it may be, is likely never going to be seen. The odds of her stumbling upon your comment I would suspect to be very low, it's all about chance.
Diese Geste, Orangen zu schenken ohne ein Danke schön zu erhalten, zeigt in meinen Augen, dass wir alle so friedvoll zusammen leben könnten, wäre da nicht überall der Egoismus einiger, die das Leben vieler so schwierig machen.
In Iran and Iraq, just tell them that your name is "Noor-Ali" Make sure that you pause for a millisecond between Noor and Ali. They will love you even more and some may go crazy in appreciation. "Noor" in Arabic means "light", and "Ali" is the most revered saint in Islam in both countries (especially in Shiite Iran and Shiite Iraq south of Baghdad). The phrase means "the light of Ali", which will sound good and impressive to them. "Noor" is also a girl's name. Like Queen Noor (wife of late King Hussein of Jordan).
I am 80 and cycling my road bikes 50 to 80k everyday. Some people think I am crazy. But, unlike many people my age I wake up eager for the challenge. Sometimes, you just have to follow your passion-despite the dangers, the spills and the tut-tutting of others. Good on you, Noraly.
I am 78 also a biker, initially a cyclist, fell and crushed my ankle on the motorbike, stopped cycling but it’s nearly good, then I will restart cycling as getting fat 😅😅😅😅

After all the numerous border crossings you have gone through for the past 5 years, this one made me nervous because I can hear you breathing hard. We are still very concerned how your lung is after your operation and we know you had difficulty breathing while you were healing. You're been through a lot since Erbil in Iraq and we know its so hard to rest one's mind in finding ways to repair Frankie or even replace the broken GPS you had. We understand how you feel you are having a brain fog with all the stress you've had plus you did go through anesthesia from your operation and that does meddle the mind. But we are with you, Noraly. All of us from around the world. We are all keeping you safe in our hearts and minds.
Don’t forgrt that Noraly has a microphone mounted in her helmet, right in front of her mouth. If you think about it, she has had “heavy breathing” for the last 4-5 years, especially when not exactly riding her motorcycle.
If I was a woman, I would be hesitant to go into any countries that treat women as lowly possessions. Forcing them to put a rag on their head is, in my opinion, very demeaning. Watching all of the chaotic check stations, and the hundreds of trucks with HUGE trailers sitting for what must be hours at every border is scary to me. I am a male, and I would not have enough courage to go through these countries. Just one check point after another. There seems to be very little organization to these places. It is a shame too, because once you finely get through the maze of check points with everyone wanting to see your passport and other papers, the people that actually live there are friendly and helpful. I watch with amazement as Noraly just continues on. I will stick to my country. At least I understand everyone here, and there are no check stations. With the exception of California. But then I would expect them to make it difficult.
I'll bet I am not the only person who gets nervous watching Noraly come through the borders of Iran/Iraq/Kurdistan. I don't know how her parents handle this. They must be the bravest folks in Holland.
I don't understand why are borders like this? It's many kilometers long and has so many checkpoints. And in last one you are suppose to turn left and go back a bit andd in other place it's so crazy wide that you don't know if you should go right or left of trucks. What the heck is this??? And why are petrol smugglers left alone ?? why is noone stopping them at the official border?? Noraly had to stamp and go through everything officialy but they just drive through and noone stops them or chase after them? What the hell is going on???
@@matrixfullThe petrol smugglers are probably so routine and they do not stop. It’s just become normalized. They just let them do their thing and don’t waste energy on it.
LMAO. I was comparing it to USA-Canada border. Boy do we have it easy crossing. But I guess it was more of commercial border crossing than a civilian one.
It's been said a million times now, but.. I'm blown away with the random kindness of people in places you might not expect. Speaking of the oranges from the officer.. Just wonderful to see.
In spite of everything else in the world I am reassured of the humanness that is still manifested by many people. Kudos to the Border Guards for their kindness.
@@WidleyWesident the relation ship between Iran and Iraq is so good.they are like brothers and sisters.but this border is an important border,because some terrorist groups, live in Iraq under Us and Uk and france support against Iran.
One of the best things since you started this adventure is seeing how many wonderful people you have talked to. The way you are welcomed and treated is so awesome ❤
@@johnmalenchek6597 Sadly, the Mainstream Indoctrination Media (MIM) has a vested interest in duping The People to believe in hate, in order to control the way we think, to skew our world-view.
Not surprised at that. US immigration officials and customs plus DEA, TSA are hand picked to be difficult. They should all go on a PR course!! You PAY for that bad service in the cost of your ticket. They are all nuts.
A wonderful thing about your viideos is that you show that fundamentally, no matter where you go, most people are positive and helpful. Thanks for helping to make that clear.
As an African growing in rural areas, I can relate to this strange generosity. First and farmost is to pass a message that "hey, we are human beings who are still intact in our values despite what the Western propaganda spread about us. We love people, and we appreciate strangers for visiting our isolated areas." Actually what you are doing you are not only showing us this beautiful places. You are also passing a subtle message as well that hey travel and learn something new. Do not listen to the mainstream media. Well done, you are my heroine and deserve much respect. 🇿🇦🇿🇦
That's the reason because I prefer visiting isolated and rural zones. It's not the case sometimes in urban áreas, where sometimes you can find bad people and have bad experiences. It's natural not trusting in people there.
Wow! Great episode, Noraly! You always manage to attract the kindest people. The guy leaving oranges on Frankie was a gem. Really looking forward to your next video! Be safe. ❤
Ask yourself, would a man treat a woman, crossing a border in the West, with similar compassion, care and love 🤔 without expectation of anything in return. Indeed, it is not uncommon and may be the norm for people to treat Noraly in such a welcoming way and long may it continue.
I remember your last trip through Iran. The people were so gracious and kind it made a lasting impression for me. Sometimes when the only part of the equation we see is produced by our government we forget the human element. We're all brothers and sisters and you help us to realize this. Thank you so much.
As an Iranian I can say that iranian people are very different from their corrupted government. We've been suffering this for decades but there is a big hope for change in a very close future. We will make our country great again!
@@Vill_Ventures: I think that what Noraly is doing is showing the world that we all have more in common than we might realize. I'd have to say she is more than a traveler on a motorcycle, she's an ambassador of good will. I've learned so much from her videos. I will always remain hopeful that one day we can all live in a world of peace, without fear.
@@kend1053 Agree, Noraly is really a brave and inspiring woman who shows the hiden side of the countries and their people. This is what media don't show us simply because it's not in their agenda. I wish we as normal people can make the future of our government bright.
Wow, I am absolutely inspired by how confidently you embrace challenges and stare uncertainty straight in the face! Watching you tackle life’s adventures with such boldness has genuinely boosted my confidence for riding through India this year. Thank you for being such an inspiration!
Surely you are now the most famous biker in Iraq and Iran! Not to mention so many other places. You have shown courage and grace wherever you've traveled and gained tremendous respect. Happy Trails from Florida!
Don’t wanna burst your bubble mate but thousands of motorcyclists, cyclists etc traverse Iran every year. They just don’t video it all. I went through Iran in 2003 on a Blue Tenere. The most welcoming and helpful people you could ever meet. Unfortunately the stereotypes impressed upon western cultures through propaganda has created a certain vision as to the expectations.
@@petittrainguernsey3297 Not sure which bubble you refer to mate. As a 7 year sub I've seen all of her vids, including the first time in Iran, where the people were spectacularly accepting and friendly. And I've seen others travel there by bike as well. What I was referring to by 'famous' was all the pics the Border guys were taking... not to mention that this was her second visit. And yes, the stereotypes are unfortunate, but she has helped expose them in many countries.
The petrol smugglers’ disguise looked like something straight out of Tatooine from Star Wars-almost otherworldly. And given the intense stress of the last few days, you can’t blame yourself for not being “on top of your game.” The toll it takes on your mind and body is immense. I hope by now you are rested and feeling better 🙏🏼❤️
@danomies, no, they're from Waterworld - if you don't believe me, go watch it (again); straight out of that movie. They're literally called "the gassers" I believe, and hoarding oil is a big part of their economy
Your composure and confidence in working your way through these challenges is amazing. Your friendly and confident manner really brings out the best in people you meet.
I fowled Noraly from beginning of her adventures, she is one of the smartest woman i ever seen, the way she interacts with people with power and kindness, they never dare to think bad about her, she is the master in sociology and psychology, equipped with lion heart.
@@starseed8087 She isn't doing it for 'adrenaline' and youtube. She is following her dream and not listening to naysayers like you. Why even watch or follow her YT with your negative thinking and comments. Geesh
@@kb_9880 How old are you, twelve years old? Don't be so naive. She achieved her dreams many, many years ago. If she continues to visit so many countries so excessively, even countries that are known to be dangerous for (alone traveling) women, she needs the constant thrill. Besides, with the number of subscribers she has, she makes tens of thousands of euros a month, that's big business already and she will have a big team behind her editing the videos..
Noraly Ik geniet veel van haar reis en bewonder op 82-jarige leeftijd haar enorme moed in het opvoeden van landen die als moeilijk worden beschouwd. Groeten uit Argentinië.
What an episode!! You have such determination and patience. I rode into Iran from Turkey in 2005. A slow process but not 3.5 hours! Amazing..well done. I was also touched by the hospitality in Iran. I wasn't filming my trip but I kept several sketchbooks which I turned into a graphic novel, 'Tea with Bin Laden's brother' - a Cult Classic! Safe onward journey..
As a man, I am not able to comprehend what a solo travelling woman must endure with those men everywhere. No personal space. Every conversation feels like an interrogation. My respect Noraly. I admire your coolness
Every day my eyes are opened wider to the difficulty’s of be a women in a world full of misogyny. Thank you Noraly for being the bravest women. Women should not have always be in fear for their life. ❤
Exactly & she is protected by her nationality in a way & the fact that she has a successful UA-cam Chanel & a camera recording every single step BUT imagine other women specially the local ones 😔 Norey is Very Brave indeed 💕✨🙏💫🌻
Being a woman is probably also a big plus. It seems she is bing treated nicer in many situations than a man would. Her kind personality also helps obviously.
You are amazing Noraly! Perfect presentation of the typical border crossing in this region, almost a tutorial :) What I really like in your videos are those candid shots. You can see unfiltered behavior, the looks, reactions, emotions. Cinéma Vérité kind of documentary. Safe travels!
Thank You Noraly for sharing your journey with us. So many kind and generous people in the world gives me hope and faith in humanity. Please take good care of yourself and stay safe.
Good heavens, not even sure how to comment, I think everyone has captured the respect that we all have for you. Keep’er going, and thanks for educating us of the world, in a better way!
Noraly you have the greatest nack to meeting kind and helpful people everywhere you go. It is something I admire. To repeat a previous comment "Angels in human form, good people, are everywhere".
I was on the edge of my seat watching this episode. It is incredibly frightening to encounter border security and gasoline smugglers. Once again, her friendly gesture and smile make someone willing to assist her. Take care and always prioritize your safety. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported her journey.
I totally agree! Her unique personality, positive outlook and smiling eyes have served her well. God Bless Noraly and keep her safe during her travels!
Noraly has a guardian angel by her side always traveling with her🙏, she is one brave woman and very often I feel nervous for her, may she always be safe!!
I love all of your videos. You're the first UA-cam channel I've ever been so engaged with to actually want to subscribe and watch everything. As a US veteran I spent a lot of time in Iraq, so it's great to see it from this perspective. Best of luck in your travels! I'll keep watching!
Thank you, Noraly, for reminding us that the world is full of kind people. Despite our differences, trust can still be had between most humans. Your videos, in addition to being interesting insights into parts of the world that most of us will never see, spread goodwill.
Someone from Ireland here. First time I went to Iran (Flew into Tehran) it was 8 hours to get out of the airport. Couple of years later it was down to 6 hours. People in Iran are really lovely. Even had tea with a white head Mullah. When there I spent time in Kerman, and also visited the Persopilis
Your videos never quit being fascinating! It takes a minute to get your groove back and you still don’t sound well. So take care. I am totally impressed how well the men in these countries have treated you. And glad they are keeping you safe!!
I am sure its a shock for a lot of these guys, not only a fancy bright solo motorcyclist, but a woman! Its almost unheard of. There is a long tradition of helping travelers in these countries, its why most wont take Noraly's money, and do all they can for her.
Bring your heart ❤️ and faith that you have in humanity with you everywhere you go, a higher power is with you. People are waiting and willing to help you. God Speed with you everyday!
Once again, an exciting video from you and your journey. I myself work as a senior constable at the Danish border control at the Danish-German border, and I find it wild how chaotic and unorganised the borders are in this video. Honestly, there’s no control over anything-you can’t tell who is police, soldier, customs officer, or bandit. It’s absolutely insane. Please, for God’s sake, take care of yourself, and I wish you all the best of luck on your journey.
I honestly got pretty angry to the fact that some random tourist is searched without proper permission, spends 3.5 hours to cross the border in sweat while smugglers ride around officers and checkpoints like flies. Why is the trouble here exactly? + being forced to cover your hair... just no one can make me.
This is how the USA messed up Iraq.And EU played along. In the North you have a self governing region which is called "Iraqi Kurdistan" and issues own visa which the South (Iraq) does not accept. But also southern Iraq is too weak to have that settled by law enforcement. Now people who travel through North Iraq have to travel through Iran with their vehicle to enter Southern Iraq. Divide and rule. That's the messed up situation.
I've been traveling with you since the beginning. I feel richer and wiser because I've traveled the whole world. Thank You! Thank You!! Thank You Noraly!!!
You have got a new fan, my wife. She also waits every week for your new episodes. Today she was scared how can you get through from the border controls. I've watched all your videos and I knew that you will do it. Keep on going Noraly. Ride safe.
The patience you must have...I gained so much more respect (which was already pretty high) for what you do, through the past few videos...hats off to you!
It might have been said before but I remember Charlie Boorman saying that everywhere you go, the 'normal' people are lovely, it's the politicians/media who make it tricky. This just shows again that real people do care. Great video again. Stay safe Noraly.
Well let’s be real. There are also dangerous people everywhere you go too. Just because there are normal people, doesn’t make the dangerous ones any less so. Someone as adventurous as her knows how dangerous the world is and she takes precautions, listens to advice and avoids trouble spots as much as possible. You heard her at the end of this video. She was told where she intended to stay was too dangerous, so she changed her plans.
Noraly allow me to say that "You really know how to make an adventure look fun and accessible. So inspiring!""Incredible journey! I love how you captured every moment and this makes me feel like I'm right there with you!" Team Noraly all the way❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Mad respect for you, Noraly ... I would be sweatting bullets on that secondary border crossing yet you rode it and in your own way you charmed those tough looking guard officers. I am glad you made it to a secure place. If this is not a nailbiter, I do not know what is. GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
You show us in every episode the kindness of the local people of the area you travel through sometimes it’s in the tiniest details but it warms my heart to see all this kindness all around the world. You are so positive and that attracts in return the kindness of people around you. Safe travels!!
A seemingly uneventful border crossing with very nice customs officials on both sides! It was very nice of them to escort you to a hotel and leave a bag of oranges! There are very nice people all over the world. Thanks for sharing another day and ride safe Noraly!
Somebody cared enough to notice that our Noraly was a bit run-down and sent someone to get some fresh oranges for her for a much needed boost in Vitamin C.
Noraly, you're doing great! No need to apologize for not noticing little things...as much as we all enjoy watching your episodes, we know it must be a lot of work at times. Just please, BE SAFE.
Your adventure is overwhelming, Iran is not easy to travel, you have a lot of courage ! Also many kind helpers "pave the way" for you because of your oppenness and your laughing warmth - it is always a door opener ! Safe travel dear Noraly, be always protected and take care of Frankie !❤👍✌Thanks for sharing your incredible journey
Wow. These people from Iraq and Iran....so welcoming, so kind, so generous. It's amazing. What wonderful wonderful people!!!!! It really is not what I expected to see.( I don't know what I expected even). May God bless them all.
Love that you have given me a new perspective on countries I’ve heard so many bad things about. Everyone has been so kind and supportive with free food, water and even oranges. Love what you’re doing ❤️🤩
Well done to the gracious customs officer and his colleagues who helped Noraly not only find a hotel near to her but also took her there and left her a bag of oranges.

@@matrixfullThe petrol smugglers are probably so routine and they do not stop. It’s just become normalized. They just let them do their thing and don’t waste energy on it.
LMAO. I was comparing it to USA-Canada border. Boy do we have it easy crossing. But I guess it was more of commercial border crossing than a civilian one.
watching you is like watching the whole world at the comfort of my home.
A true window on the world.🌍
true
It's been said a million times now, but.. I'm blown away with the random kindness of people in places you might not expect. Speaking of the oranges from the officer..
Just wonderful to see.
@@beborodner930 it's the nature of IRANIAN hospitality
In spite of everything else in the world I am reassured of the humanness that is still manifested by many people. Kudos to the Border Guards for their kindness.
Characterizing a 3,5 hour border passing as "smooth" is what I will call having a positive attitude 😀
And to think that it takes just 1 minute for smugglers...
@@makingwaves1239 it’s pretty normal for some countries that don’t have happy relationships with their neighbours. Nothing to be concerned about.
3,5 isn't even a lot , once I was at the border for 5-6 hours.
I don't quite understand the point of this border anyways, when smugglers are apparently free to pass. Very strange.
@@WidleyWesident the relation ship between Iran and Iraq is so good.they are like brothers and sisters.but this border is an important border,because some terrorist groups, live in Iraq under Us and Uk and france support against Iran.
Aaaaaw the guy snuck some oranges made my eyes leaked. Whoever you are you are a very good host. Thank you for taking good care of our Noraly. Salam!🙏
One of the best things since you started this adventure is seeing how many wonderful people you have talked to. The way you are welcomed and treated is so awesome ❤
There are good people everywhere. Kind and considerate. They outnumber the bad 100 to 1. Stay safe Noraly
@@johnmalenchek6597 Sadly, the Mainstream Indoctrination Media (MIM) has a vested interest in duping The People to believe in hate, in order to control the way we think, to skew our world-view.
@johnmalenchek6597 absolutely true, There are good people everywhere!
Wonderful to see all these random acts of kindness. It makes me feel less anxious for Noraly and her safety. Great adventure!
Im speechless. I can barely make it trough the Atlanta airport customs. May God protect you and show you the way
Not surprised at that. US immigration officials and customs plus DEA, TSA are hand picked to be difficult. They should all go on a PR course!! You PAY for that bad service in the cost of your ticket.
They are all nuts.
This lady is very courageous,I admire her,have a nice trip
A wonderful thing about your viideos is that you show that fundamentally, no matter where you go, most people are positive and helpful. Thanks for helping to make that clear.
This, absolutely. Her videos fit this 'faith in humanity restored' vibe.
Exactly
Except for the warning she got about smuggler motorbikes are "very dangerous"...
I wish the true care is the fundamental core of humanity
But not in the Congress 😅
As an African growing in rural areas, I can relate to this strange generosity. First and farmost is to pass a message that "hey, we are human beings who are still intact in our values despite what the Western propaganda spread about us. We love people, and we appreciate strangers for visiting our isolated areas." Actually what you are doing you are not only showing us this beautiful places. You are also passing a subtle message as well that hey travel and learn something new. Do not listen to the mainstream media. Well done, you are my heroine and deserve much respect. 🇿🇦🇿🇦
That's the reason because I prefer visiting isolated and rural zones. It's not the case sometimes in urban áreas, where sometimes you can find bad people and have bad experiences. It's natural not trusting in people there.
Wow! Great episode, Noraly! You always manage to attract the kindest people. The guy leaving oranges on Frankie was a gem. Really looking forward to your next video! Be safe. ❤
Ask yourself, would a man treat a woman, crossing a border in the West, with similar compassion, care and love 🤔 without expectation of anything in return.
Indeed, it is not uncommon and may be the norm for people to treat Noraly in such a welcoming way and long may it continue.
22:52 That’s such a thoughtful gesture! And it’s not just a random guy it’s an official border guard
I remember your last trip through Iran. The people were so gracious and kind it made a lasting impression for me. Sometimes when the only part of the equation we see is produced by our government we forget the human element. We're all brothers and sisters and you help us to realize this. Thank you so much.
I've always found Iranians I've met to be very thoughtful, kind people.
As an Iranian I can say that iranian people are very different from their corrupted government. We've been suffering this for decades but there is a big hope for change in a very close future.
We will make our country great again!
@@Vill_Ventures: I think that what Noraly is doing is showing the world that we all have more in common than we might realize. I'd have to say she is more than a traveler on a motorcycle, she's an ambassador of good will.
I've learned so much from her videos. I will always remain hopeful that one day we can all live in a world of peace, without fear.
@@kend1053 Agree, Noraly is really a brave and inspiring woman who shows the hiden side of the countries and their people. This is what media don't show us simply because it's not in their agenda.
I wish we as normal people can make the future of our government bright.
Wow, I am absolutely inspired by how confidently you embrace challenges and stare uncertainty straight in the face! Watching you tackle life’s adventures with such boldness has genuinely boosted my confidence for riding through India this year. Thank you for being such an inspiration!
Surely you are now the most famous biker in Iraq and Iran! Not to mention so many other places. You have shown courage and grace wherever you've traveled and gained tremendous respect. Happy Trails from Florida!
She did it before.
'Mark Travels' channel also traveled across Iran on an ELECTRIC motorcycle (a ZERO)
Don’t wanna burst your bubble mate but thousands of motorcyclists, cyclists etc traverse Iran every year. They just don’t video it all. I went through Iran in 2003 on a Blue Tenere. The most welcoming and helpful people you could ever meet. Unfortunately the stereotypes impressed upon western cultures through propaganda has created a certain vision as to the expectations.
@@petittrainguernsey3297
Not sure which bubble you refer to mate. As a 7 year sub I've seen all of her vids, including the first time in Iran, where the people were spectacularly accepting and friendly. And I've seen others travel there by bike as well. What I was referring to by 'famous' was all the pics the Border guys were taking... not to mention that this was her second visit. And yes, the stereotypes are unfortunate, but she has helped expose them in many countries.
ohh no. there are unshared experiences about middle east by us. you do not want to hear. Be Safe Noraly.
The only woman on her own out in the streets of Iran.
You just have to love Noraly. What an inspiration to everyone!
The petrol smugglers’ disguise looked like something straight out of Tatooine from Star Wars-almost otherworldly. And given the intense stress of the last few days, you can’t blame yourself for not being “on top of your game.” The toll it takes on your mind and body is immense. I hope by now you are rested and feeling better 🙏🏼❤️
i think it all started with the stress of her bike being stolen after meeting so many decent people.
@danomies, no, they're from Waterworld - if you don't believe me, go watch it (again); straight out of that movie. They're literally called "the gassers" I believe, and hoarding oil is a big part of their economy
Or Mad Max 🏍🛢🗡
Your composure and confidence in working your way through these challenges is amazing. Your friendly and confident manner really brings out the best in people you meet.
I fowled Noraly from beginning of her adventures, she is one of the smartest woman i ever seen, the way she interacts with people with power and kindness, they never dare to think bad about her, she is the master in sociology and psychology, equipped with lion heart.
I'm not sure if it's always smart to risk the life for adrenaline and youtube
@@starseed8087 She isn't doing it for 'adrenaline' and youtube. She is following her dream and not listening to naysayers like you. Why even watch or follow her YT with your negative thinking and comments. Geesh
@@kb_9880 How old are you, twelve years old? Don't be so naive. She achieved her dreams many, many years ago. If she continues to visit so many countries so excessively, even countries that are known to be dangerous for (alone traveling) women, she needs the constant thrill. Besides, with the number of subscribers she has, she makes tens of thousands of euros a month, that's big business already and she will have a big team behind her editing the videos..
Noraly Ik geniet veel van haar reis en bewonder op 82-jarige leeftijd haar enorme moed in het opvoeden van landen die als moeilijk worden beschouwd. Groeten uit Argentinië.
Wherever you go...be safe Noraly....God bless.
What an episode!! You have such determination and patience. I rode into Iran from Turkey in 2005. A slow process but not 3.5 hours! Amazing..well done. I was also touched by the hospitality in Iran. I wasn't filming my trip but I kept several sketchbooks which I turned into a graphic novel, 'Tea with Bin Laden's brother' - a Cult Classic! Safe onward journey..
As a man, I am not able to comprehend what a solo travelling woman must endure with those men everywhere. No personal space. Every conversation feels like an interrogation. My respect Noraly. I admire your coolness
Every day my eyes are opened wider to the difficulty’s of be a women in a world full of misogyny. Thank you Noraly for being the bravest women. Women should not have always be in fear for their life. ❤
Totally agree, they flock like blow flies around a camels ar*e. Makes me nervous for her.
She generally gets a friendly response, but take it from me, as a guy they aren't so friendly always.
Exactly & she is protected by her nationality in a way & the fact that she has a successful UA-cam Chanel & a camera recording every single step BUT imagine other women specially the local ones 😔 Norey is Very Brave indeed 💕✨🙏💫🌻
Being a woman is probably also a big plus. It seems she is bing treated nicer in many situations than a man would. Her kind personality also helps obviously.
That was really sweet of the officer at the end, glad to see you had good souls watching your back.
You are amazing Noraly! Perfect presentation of the typical border crossing in this region, almost a tutorial :) What I really like in your videos are those candid shots. You can see unfiltered behavior, the looks, reactions, emotions. Cinéma Vérité kind of documentary. Safe travels!
What lovely people and that dear customs guy giving you oranges-❤🙂
Thank You Noraly for sharing your journey with us. So many kind and generous people in the world gives me hope and faith in humanity. Please take good care of yourself and stay safe.
Good heavens, not even sure how to comment, I think everyone has captured the respect that we all have for you.
Keep’er going, and thanks for educating us of the world, in a better way!
What generous people you get to meet on your travels! Thanks for bringing them into our homes.
Noraly you have the greatest nack to meeting kind and helpful people everywhere you go. It is something I admire. To repeat a previous comment "Angels in human form, good people, are everywhere".
I was on the edge of my seat watching this episode. It is incredibly frightening to encounter border security and gasoline smugglers. Once again, her friendly gesture and smile make someone willing to assist her. Take care and always prioritize your safety. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported her journey.
your soul is the passport, your smile is a free visa and your eyes are the keys to go everywhere!
y o u a r e one of a kind!❤
what a lovely thing to say 💖
Beautiful message… ❤
Very well said indeed, I was just thinking about the correct, accurate description 22:08 of our Noraly !
I totally agree! Her unique personality, positive outlook and smiling eyes have served her well. God Bless Noraly and keep her safe during her travels!
Iran is so underrated. The hospitality of that border officer is next level.
Noraly you're smile will always win the day 😊
اتمنى لك رحلة امنة وسعيدة شكرا نورالي لانك تاخذني معك من قارة أفريقيا الى اسيا 😊
Noraly has a guardian angel by her side always traveling with her🙏, she is one brave woman and very often I feel nervous for her, may she always be safe!!
Yeah that guardian angel is called Garmin InReach and scheduled ctcs with her friends /family along with ctcs in every country.
I love all of your videos. You're the first UA-cam channel I've ever been so engaged with to actually want to subscribe and watch everything. As a US veteran I spent a lot of time in Iraq, so it's great to see it from this perspective.
Best of luck in your travels! I'll keep watching!
Dutch veteran here thnx for your service buddy ;)
Thank you, Noraly, for reminding us that the world is full of kind people. Despite our differences, trust can still be had between most humans.
Your videos, in addition to being interesting insights into parts of the world that most of us will never see, spread goodwill.
Noraly doing what Noraly does well...teaching the world that we're all the same underneath.
Nope!
Someone from Ireland here. First time I went to Iran (Flew into Tehran) it was 8 hours to get out of the airport. Couple of years later it was down to 6 hours. People in Iran are really lovely. Even had tea with a white head Mullah. When there I spent time in Kerman, and also visited the Persopilis
Maybe you asked for visa at arrival that it took such a time in airport
Your videos never quit being fascinating! It takes a minute to get your groove back and you still don’t sound well. So take care. I am totally impressed how well the men in these countries have treated you. And glad they are keeping you safe!!
I am sure its a shock for a lot of these guys, not only a fancy bright solo motorcyclist, but a woman! Its almost unheard of.
There is a long tradition of helping travelers in these countries, its why most wont take Noraly's money, and do all they can for her.
Bring your heart ❤️ and faith that you have in humanity with you everywhere you go, a higher power is with you. People are waiting and willing to help you. God Speed with you everyday!
Another great video!
Reguarding the wires cut in the previous theft. Maurice's idea of dual independent ignition systems is genius!
It’s so nice to see how kind and caring people are all over the world.
Once again, an exciting video from you and your journey. I myself work as a senior constable at the Danish border control at the Danish-German border, and I find it wild how chaotic and unorganised the borders are in this video. Honestly, there’s no control over anything-you can’t tell who is police, soldier, customs officer, or bandit. It’s absolutely insane. Please, for God’s sake, take care of yourself, and I wish you all the best of luck on your journey.
You read my mind...
Çok doğru tespitler ,buralar neden böyle acaba ?
Sebeplerini irdelemek lazım.
And this is during the day, imagine at night.
I honestly got pretty angry to the fact that some random tourist is searched without proper permission, spends 3.5 hours to cross the border in sweat while smugglers ride around officers and checkpoints like flies. Why is the trouble here exactly? + being forced to cover your hair... just no one can make me.
This is how the USA messed up Iraq.And EU played along. In the North you have a self governing region which is called "Iraqi Kurdistan" and issues own visa which the South (Iraq) does not accept. But also southern Iraq is too weak to have that settled by law enforcement. Now people who travel through North Iraq have to travel through Iran with their vehicle to enter Southern Iraq. Divide and rule. That's the messed up situation.
Was für eine Grenze. Da bekommt das Wort Chaos eine neue Bedeutung. Noraly hat wirklich gute Nerven. Respekt!
Don't be hard on yourself, get some rest...recharge! Thank you as always.
You are protected wherever you travel. What a pleasure to enjoy this journey with you.❤
I've been traveling with you since the beginning. I feel richer and wiser because I've traveled the whole world. Thank You! Thank You!! Thank You Noraly!!!
You are so very brave woman. Traveling your motorcycle in the very dangerous places alone.
Kudos to Iran's custom officers. How nice of them. Respect! And the oranges - whatta a nice touch. Great guys!!!
Oh my lovely you're still exhausted and easily short of breath.Please take it slowly and take your time to fully get on your feet again.❤
You have got a new fan, my wife. She also waits every week
for your new episodes. Today she was scared how can you get through from the border controls.
I've watched all your videos and I knew that you will do it.
Keep on going Noraly. Ride safe.
So let your lovely wife watch the Africa series sometime. She’ll see how Noraly is made of tough stuff.
Welcome back . I surely missed you. Good Luck and God Bless.
Noraly you are so brave! Sending my love from Denmark 🇩🇰
The patience you must have...I gained so much more respect (which was already pretty high) for what you do, through the past few videos...hats off to you!
When you're a stranger in Iran you automatically become a magnet for hospitality. Wishing you safe and peaceful travels ahead dear Noraly
It might have been said before but I remember Charlie Boorman saying that everywhere you go, the 'normal' people are lovely, it's the politicians/media who make it tricky. This just shows again that real people do care. Great video again. Stay safe Noraly.
Well let’s be real. There are also dangerous people everywhere you go too. Just because there are normal people, doesn’t make the dangerous ones any less so. Someone as adventurous as her knows how dangerous the world is and she takes precautions, listens to advice and avoids trouble spots as much as possible. You heard her at the end of this video. She was told where she intended to stay was too dangerous, so she changed her plans.
Due to life stuff i haven't seen your vids for a few months. So glad to be seeing your travels again. Keep doing what you do. Total respect to you.
You can watch a video or two until you catch up. Three hours later... okay, just one more show. Two hours later.... 😁
انا انتظر فيديوهاتك على احر من الجمر .. تحيه طيبه لك من البصرة جنوب العراق .. أتمنى لك السلامه الدائما
Noraly allow me to say that "You really know how to make an adventure look fun and accessible. So inspiring!""Incredible journey! I love how you captured every moment and this makes me feel like I'm right there with you!" Team Noraly all the way❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
God bless and protect you.
Please be safe on all your travels.
The Irani people are so friendly, such a heartwarming act of attaching oranges to your bike
I really must say Dear Noraly, you have nerves of steel!!! I was melting in my seat just Watching! Thank dear God you are there and can rest some.💕🌹👍
Those guys from the border crossing were really nice making sure that you are safe and also got you some oranges 😀
Nerves of steel in so many ways, in so many situations.... strength and sunshine safety and blessings
Mad respect for you, Noraly ... I would be sweatting bullets on that secondary border crossing yet you rode it and in your own way you charmed those tough looking guard officers. I am glad you made it to a secure place. If this is not a nailbiter, I do not know what is.
GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
You show us in every episode the kindness of the local people of the area you travel through sometimes it’s in the tiniest details but it warms my heart to see all this kindness all around the world. You are so positive and that attracts in return the kindness of people around you. Safe travels!!
So sweet. Here’s a safe hotel & some oranges. Press on Itchy Boots !
Severek izliyoruz seni noraly iyi ki bu güzel videoları çekiyorsun teşekkür ederim her video da bize macera ve aksiyon yaşattığın için 🎉🎉
"Some random guy gave me a bag of oranges" welcome to Iran Norale.
And more sweet, the random guy is a custom officer.
I was so anxious for you crossing the border. Grateful the guys showed you the way and the people were so kind.
Those petrol smugglers look like they came right out of Mad Max! I know it goes without saying, but please be careful, Noraly.
I don't know why they call it smuggling if they are doing it out in the open, through military checkpoints.😂😂
😂
Why smuggling petrol? Are those two countries made of oil? Crazy!
@marcelisujecki4707 "smuggling", due to the sanctions!!
Yup, came here to say the same thing. Wild!
Best part is remembering the people you met in the past in the current videos. I love that Noraly.
A seemingly uneventful border crossing with very nice customs officials on both sides! It was very nice of them to escort you to a hotel and leave a bag of oranges! There are very nice people all over the world. Thanks for sharing another day and ride safe Noraly!
Somebody cared enough to notice that our Noraly was a bit run-down and sent someone to get some fresh oranges for her for a much needed boost in Vitamin C.
Noraly, you're doing great! No need to apologize for not noticing little things...as much as we all enjoy watching your episodes, we know it must be a lot of work at times. Just please, BE SAFE.
Your adventure is overwhelming, Iran is not easy to travel, you have a lot of courage ! Also many kind helpers "pave the way" for you because of your oppenness and your laughing warmth - it is always a door opener ! Safe travel dear Noraly, be always protected and take care of Frankie !❤👍✌Thanks for sharing your incredible journey
Wow. These people from Iraq and Iran....so welcoming, so kind, so generous. It's amazing. What wonderful wonderful people!!!!! It really is not what I expected to see.( I don't know what I expected even). May God bless them all.
Noraly, Get some rest if you can. Take care of yourself and your health. Always watching your adventures.
Love that you have given me a new perspective on countries I’ve heard so many bad things about.
Everyone has been so kind and supportive with free food, water and even oranges.
Love what you’re doing ❤️🤩
Im in kansas watching you sweat as it is a blizzard out my window. You always brighten my day, thank you.
At 17: 53 i just like the way he address nora about the smugglers and to be careful because those guys a very dangerous.
