- In this first part of my day in which I am trying to reach Sante Fe in Panama, I end up in a remote area in the mountains, where the roads are challenging and the rivers deep. Very deep..

The title of this video may suggest otherwise, but I do know what momentum is and why you’d want to have it 🤣 Thing is, there is a difference between theory and real life riding, and that all boils down to risk.
Riding into a river fast, where you can’t see the terrain and can’t see big rocks at the bottom, is a risk. Dropping the bike here, means drowning the engine and I know I can’t fix a drowned engine by myself in some remote mountains 😅 I’ve seen enough videos of ‘cool’ riders blasting through rivers and ending up drowning their bikes 🙃 I rather struggle a little a low speed but make it to the other side with an engine that’s still running, thank you very much 🤪
I think you handled the situation wisely and bravely. Most of people here, would sit down and cry on a situation like this. 🤣 Keep it up and stay safe Norally!! 🤙🔥
Yeah besides the bike i'm worried.. i know that feeling of riding on wet boots argh 😅 .. RideSafe Icthy Boots watchng here in Philippines 🇵🇭
We old timer riders are proud of the intelligent/pragmatic choices you make to stay successful. You don't need us suggesting stuff, you've obviously paid attention and remember what's important and necessary. Have fun!
I can see you take your time and picking your lines, very smart. I love that you are also not afraid to try new paths. Very nice content!
You absolutely can do it yourself. You need to lean how just in case. It's really not hard just a little time consuming.
Did it again! Found Panama’s version of Sani Pass only with water crossings 😜. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful world to be seen and shared through your lens. Thanks for another exciting video!
When to come India and pakistan 😞
@@hafiznaeem6115 Been there, done that, sold the tee-shirt.
We had the same thought about Sani Pass! She definitely conquered this one too!
Hahaha. I was thinking Sani pass too.
@@bahardin3992 I believe it is season 5 episode 14…
My mom is 85 years old and loves watching your channel and remembering her travels around the world. Love your positivity in all you encounter. Safe travels, and God bless.
I’m 78 East coast Canadian and love exploring and experiencing our awesome world with this beautiful ambassador for humanity 🙏🏼🌅blessings and gratitude for exposing the world to the oneness and love humanity has become 🙏🏼🌅🥰💗🌍🌏🌎
Ok, i have now watched all seasons in 1 month. And what i've seen is a very cool transformation:
From a curious girl looking for adventure to the woman that makes the adventure.
In 3 years!!
I already said that:
YOU ARE YOUR OWN KIND!!!
Thanks for taking us around with you....👍👍👍👍👍
We have been doing our Journey around Thailand for about 3months now and we met a lady today that also started her Vlogging Journey about 1months ago and she also drives around on a motorcycle and guess who inspired her to travel around Thailand and maybe the world yea it was You , we hope we can inspire people like you are Inspiring so many people.
Itchy boots is like Johnny Appleseed, spreading kindness (donating food to the Himba tribe in namibia), wishing animals whenever she meets them along her way, and even talks to her bike,!
These goes to show her kindness, respect and love in her heart. She has brought these into our hearts.
I live in Panama and am sitting comfortably on my couch, around 100 km from where you filmed this episode. I’ve taken a motorcycle up those mountains but NEVER on such difficult roads. I imagine you have left the area, but I hope you liked Santa Fe and went on to Calovébora on the Atlantic. Congratulations on a great ride, and thanks for a great video.
Nice one. Norely is traveling a great and risky roads in mountain.
She is in Guatemala, definitely more than 100 Km from where you are!
11:40 The moment when Itchy Boots became Inundated Boots. I've long told friends geologists see the world differently and its true. "This road is cut out of the mountain, it is all rocks". 99 out of 100 would not have noticed such a thing but the trained eye....... What day is not made better with Noraly's adventure?
one of world’s best series of video on journey around the world. Thank you Noraly, you are truly the best !
If not THE best!
What did I say yesterday?
"Every video is amazing, and every new video tops the previous one".
Will this go on for infinity!?!?!
You have to check out Charly Sinewan's journey. He's been at it for 10 years, currently heading south from Mexico to Argentina. These two are going to cross paths at some point.
Noraly you have such an aura that anyone who watches ur experiences for the 1st time gets hooked on, a live example is my partner to whom i showed ur last vlog and she got so addicted to you that she is binge watching on your channel from S1. Im really proud to say that my partner and i are privileged to be ITCHY BOOTS followers
All of us that have traveled on a motorcycle and done some off road, and in the meantime have recorded these adventures, and made some editing in the end, know how much hard work it is in the end to select circa 20 minutes of a full day ride and putting all together to tell a story that others can appreciate. I wonder how many hours, per day, Noraly spends editing watching videos and working it, after arriving many times tired and worn out after a hard days ride? Thank you for your dedication, Noraly
I agree, I know she works very hard to bring us these amazing videos!
Norally.....Really She is the only one of 3 travel blogs I follow who dishes out beautifully edited, adventures almost thrice a week....when others do it thrice a month or less....she is some girl...this Geotraveller..
I don't think she's doing the editing on this series.
@@akau1340 no you are right. She has this large office back home where 4 fulltime editors are waiting for her rough material to come in, so they can make these beautiful video’s and upload them to UA-cam.
Serious now: people just can’t believe she does this all on her own, but she does...
@@TheHkluivert Most creators with channels smaller than this one hire editors. Ironically often they hire other nomads who weren't successful with their own projects for whatever reason, but they are experienced editors, familiar with the niche and are willing to work cheaply from S America or SE Asia. A full time schedule is usually uploading somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes a week. This week we got 64 minutes. If she isn't hiring editors she probably should.
Your drone shots are exceptional. Along with the music , you produce a soothing expression of your travels
I do not get how she finds time to do editing all this and traveling same time.
Oh, it all looks so steep even with the GoPro, and I can hear the gears you have to use. You are really excellent at finding adventures, Noraly!
I'd like to know how you can ride a motorcycle while your drone obediently follows, far above? It's quite amazing, to me.
@@mad3st looks like 1 day riding, 1 day editing, hard work, hard ride, fun life 👏💪
@@mad3st Didn't she hire out the editing this time?
Knee deep in the Panama jungle water crossing…ItchyBoots adventure on Wednesday morning is exactly what I needed 👍
Of course the music is great and needed for presentation. And it's perfect. For me I also like the sound of the little 300 droning along a paved road running its guts out and never quitting. She makes me want a 300 Honda
I'm at a Danish🇩🇰 hospital 🏥 right now and I told a few of the other patients, which are mostly female, about you and your channel.
They were, all female, amazed about you traveling the world alone with Alaska as your "only travel companion" 💪🏻
I am in awe at how well both you and Alaska tackled that "rocky" path. The whole ride was like riding a bucking wild Wyoming (USA) rodeo horse!! Well done Noraly!
Yeeee Haaaa, Chey 😉
A cliffhanger!! This entire trip, indeed this entire "season," is simply incredible. I loved southern africa, and before that India and Iran, and through those videos felt I was introduced to a world I would never have imagined. Now, once again, I'm seeing a world most of us will never otherwise be able to envision. Thank you. The scenes in this video are especially breathtaking. Cheers!
That family all of whom are sitting so relaxed on the porch and enjoying their day are not even bothered to see a world traveler is at their doorstep.They all look so cozy in their own remote world.
I do so hope, that some enlightened Geography teacher uses these videos and previous series, to show how the World is so different, from place to place. Well done Noraly and Alaska.
These are parts of Panama I would never be able to see without you. Thank you for stopping and flying the drone so I can enjoy every inch of the country. Here, you take ALASKA for a swim and next time you will be taking her for a walk I see. You go girl!!
She doesn't always actually stop either (ok, yes, to set loose the drone). On the last part of drone footage you could see her riding in the bottom right corner.
Those hills must’ve been way steeper than the GoPro portrayed. Can’t remember hearing Alaska strain that hard to date. All the best and safe travels!
I have driven on steep roads like these in the Philippines in a 4x4 and the GoPro I had did not show how scary steep it was so I fully understand what you mean.
GoPro is terrible at showing slope (because they're generally on the helmet or bike where they get "levelled" to the slope). You can generally only tell how steep it is if the rider looks to the side so you can see how the trees are growing... if it looks like they're all leaning and about to fall over... it's STEEP!
Even though the steepness doesn't show up on camera, you can tell how hard the suspension was working with those side shots of the front wheel. And your right the sound of the engine was another good indicator. I wonder if she'll have wheel bearing problems after fording such a deep river? After you've been riding a while, the bearings get hot, then rapidly cooled when submerged in water. It used to wreak havoc on the bearings of my boat trailer. I had to regrease them after every launch.
when you " discover" a country, you really mean it !! you show us what it is like, not on the travel brochures. thank you so much for sharing it with us. go girl, go !! we are with you all the way !!
Itchy Boots is awesome! Noraly's positivity and humor are even more awesome! A pleasure to watch.
Another nail biting episode! And, a cliff hanger ... Great drone footage. Panama is so beautiful.
Love the new start graphics, and wonderful drone shots. You are quite the expert and I enjoy every moment. Thank you.
Thank You Itchy Boots!!! I live in West Michigan with all of the cold and snow right now. It's refreshing to watch you in the tropics. I'm absolutely "Shattered" up here in Michigan......LOL!!! Good luck the rest of your journey!
Those beautiful drone shots, showing the undulating rolling hills.
Your actions and breathing. Tell us the viewers, the ups and downs of the road you are taking.
Yeeyyy!!! another great episode!👍😊 You're so brave! You always made my day complete🥰..You made me look forward to the future full of hopes and dreams. Stay safe Ms. Noraly!❤️
Fantastic scenery - not so fantastic roads eh?
Your videos are so addictive Noraly, your filming and editing is first class. Thank you for bringing it all to us.
As usual, I cannot wait for the next episode.
You truly are the Wonder Woman😊
Keep safe
You never cease to amaze me, the CRF seems indestructible, takes everything you & nature throw at it
Welcome to Bhutan 🇧🇹 once in lifetime. I bet you won’t regret it. And thank you for making us feel like we are on excursions along with you. Love from Bhutan.
I'm so addicted to your channel that I'm constantly checking for new updates, keep it up.
Just you, your motorcycle. A drone and camaraderie. No big backup crew! How do you produce such wonderful videos both in quality and content. Fabulous! And many thank you s for brilliant adventures, I lose myself with you and get v concerned at times about the outcome of the remote places you are riding through. You are wonderful woman.
Great and Smiling Princess. Crossing all natural roads. ❤️👸🕊
To take a full day of planning, travel, drone piloting, adventure, filming, and condense it into a beautiful 20 minute video for the world to enjoy is truly amazing. Top it off with all of it being done on a motorcycle and with a mission to avoid pavement and it's all the more impressive. The grit, skill, determination, and positive attitude are so enjoyable, too. Thank you for taking us along on such wonderful trips.
Once again Noraly, you start the day with an excellent breakfast accompanied by a view that is surreal! The scenery and roads are really nice along your route. The aerial footage is just phenomenal. Then you tackle really tough, steep mountain roads and a “knee deep” creek crossing! Alaska has certainly stood the test of adventure. Ride safe and as always, thank you for sharing your trip with us!
@Rom vin …. I’m from East Tennessee and have never been to Alaska. Someday soon, I would like to visit your part of the county.
Another great adventure day with Noraly, you simply amaze me, the routes you take would make a grown man cry, but not you, the greatest female motorcyclist on the planet. Keep up the awesome job and thanks for sharing it with us. 👍
I thank you again and again Noraly for your magnificent gifts...the chapters are short when you see them...and what has been said...there are no limits for you, brave woman! 👍
It's amazing how you've gone from 35k subscribers in early 2019 to now just over 3 years later and you have become a super star! Congratulations in advance on reaching 1million subscribers you've worked hard and never missed a video truly amazing what sheer determination and hard work and amazing content can do 😁✌️🍾
It's only a matter of time...
Holy moly Noraly, I thought you were finally going to run out of road.
Yes, that trail was pretty scary. I would not like to take a fall on that hard ground.
Bless you angel and take care
Sure glad she didn't drop it in the deep water crossing. Especially with the engine running!
There was no one to shove her off a cliff and no deteriorated former railroad bridge that could have her tumbling down through thin air for dozens of metres on a single wrong step... I found this rather enjoyable to watch, even though it was a tough piece of work for Noraly! ☺️
Watching in complete comfort of my living room and taking deep breath’s for Noraly as she navigates these treacherous roads. Always in awe of her bravery. Beautiful footage
This trip is a testament to your ability and your durability 🙂 and the reliability of your Motorbike. Be safe and we enjoy the videos
Wow You are absolutely very brave! You have my complete admiration for you
Noraly you are my favourite Moto vlogger .. ur strength , courage , positivity is something i admire ... have been following you since your India trip .... love you
Panama is very lovely, Noraly. Thank you for sharing your post with all who follow your journey/s.👏👏👍
Your videos are literally like a therapy for me. It takes me away from all the distractions of this world.
Oh No!!! You left us hanging just like in a soap opera. Can't wait for the continuation. All your episodes are great but the best ones are the ones that seem to end too soon. Ride safe.
Loving your Adventures Noraly !! Just finished watching your Season 2. Now watching you take us around your Country and finding it very interesting learning about the Windmills, dikes and all the other interesting things in the Netherlands.
I really enjoyed listening to your dad speak of the big flood. Your mom and dad are as kind as you. Now I know where you got it.
Stay safe young lady. 😊
Cool to have you on board!
The Africa journey is where I started, I guarantee you'll absolutely love everything about it.
(Even Ron. I think about him every now & then. He could of been having a bad day. And some good words were said about him in the comments of that vid)
Season 1 "This is Iran" has been one of my favorites.
@@DiZZoLabs That's the next one for me to watch in season 1.
@@savage22bolt32 I started watching where she revealed her new Honda. Since watching and keeping up with this 6th Season, I decided to go back to her begininng Season and get caught all the way up. So glad I did. She's amazing and it's always fun to watch these types of creators as there channel grows as does their video editing skills. This girl is amazing and so educational too !!!
@@DiZZoLabs Yep, that one is a great one for sure. But, it's so hard to pick out just one favorite. 😉😬👍👍
Your production is first class in my opinion better than anything on tv and judging from your many supporters you give people purpose, another great vid
Panama is really beautiful. Thanks again for sharing. Making Alaska a submarine may not be a good plan, but then sometimes you have to take it as it comes...😄 Well done Noraly!
Oh no!, now you’ve added another country to my bucket list of must visit. Great video. The drone footage mixed with riding and seamless music , was beautiful. Looking forward to the rest of the journey.
Absolutely fantastic editing, music and "droneography". You have mastered capturing visually the visceral experiences of riders.
Noraly’s editing skills just keep growing and growing. 🎼🎬
The view starting at 8:44 is unbelievable. Looks like you can see 100 miles or more. Spectacular.
Oie indeed! I was watching the clouds for impending rain - THAT would have been tricky! I could see how hard those tracks were! Beautiful Country, beautiful vids, beautiful droning.
Thanks Noraly! Through your eyes we see the world, where even the Google Street View cannot go. Also your honest accounts of the terrain, the people, etc..; and a lesson to us all in ' Positive Thinking'... Bravo!
So cool 😎 thanks for the adventure 🏍️👣💥👍🏻😎
Pretty cool seeing mountains and pine trees. I didn't I'd see that in Panama!
Simply amazing. Pleasure to watch. Stay safe.
Noraly, you capture and edit some of the best video and scenery around the world. I really enjoy following your journey. Do you plan to provide a personal review of your “behind the scenes” equipment used on this trip? I specifically am interested in your opinion of your new Rev’it! Gear, including your expedition boots. How are the 50/50 tires you’re using doing on the off-pavement sections? Do you wish you had more knobby tires or are they adequately working for you? From what I can see, Alaska is doing quite well. Looking forward to the rest of the trip! -From Northern California, USA
She explains a lot about her gear on her website, with links and such. You can also find blogs there, I think.
You should check her blog. Link in video description.
My whole family watches your adventure now! My anxiety is nonexistent when I’m watching you conquering the world. May God send His mighty angels to protect you Noraly. Go girl
My mind is blown away. Both on road and off road offers amazing view of Panama’s landscape. Great choice on crossing the river when a bridge is actually next to you. Thank you Noraly.
Hi Noraly please be careful stacks of wet weather coming in from Pacific . Much love Cape Town 👍💞😷🌍🇿🇦
Ohhhhh my Lord!! Your drone footage is just incredibly SPECTACULAR!!! (and such beautiful music you selected frames it PERFECTLY!!! Loving every episode! Thank you kindly 🙏, Noraly. May God bless and keep you safe in your trails ahead!
I never knew Panama looked like this. So many Mountains and remote areas! Amazing
one day in botcwana, noraly say: "nothing gona stop us!" go, noraly, go!
Those roads would be tough in a 4 wheel drive truck. I've also wondered in my travels, "Why did they pick here to live?" Sometimes it seems like they got to a certain spot and thought, "That's it, I'm done....good enough." In all reality, you're not going to get a more simple life, which is pretty cool. Stay safe out there.
Thanks for another SPECTACULAR Episode N!
At least Alaska got a quick rinse up to her waist.
Take care and ride safe. 🖖🏼🤟🏼
Wow.... drone footage is fantastic........ grrrrrr now I have to wait 😀😃🙂
I think we all understand now that a mere river is no match for the greater force of nature we know and love as Noraly. Ride on, lovely lady!
As a geologist, I'm sure you are amazed by the formations and the scenery! I know I love it!
Your drone footage is spectacular! But you still astound me how you find those horrible roads!! Lol.
Yes, its amazing how the GoPro stabilization is so good. Stay safe
The mountains and waterfall were awesome. I recently watched an older vlog when you bought your first Drone from a friend. I believe you have mastered the learning very well. Amazing how you drove bike through water and in the deep road ruts without damage to your bike. Always a great adventure. Thank you.
@@bahardin3992 Not sure. I was binge watching lol. If I run across it I will let you know. Don’t remember it being a long lesson in that episode.
@@bahardin3992 Try starting with Season 1 around episode 40 when she was with friend in Oman. On a mountain and viewing the Grand Canyon there.
Thanks for letting me ride along with you, Noraly! So much fun ❤🔥
Noraly - you are an amazing woman. Your sense of humour, and adventure, and your always positive attitude are inspiring. I think you are quite brave to travel alone through south and central America like this.
Now normal folk on bikes would have stuck to the main highways but not our Noraly, she has her own methods of getting from A to B, even though it means crossing rivers multiple times and each time deeper than before.
Roll on version 2 of this trip.
Oh no, another cliff hanger! Can’t wait to see what comes next! Stay safe Noraly!
It never ceases to amaze me how diversely beautiful our planet is. Wherever you go, you're not far from someplace amazing.
the last 3yrs have gone so quick now you got 982K subs well done wish you all the success
Your editing only gets better and better. Love the new element of location in the beginning ❤️
You are amazing! Stay safe! Thank you for letting us see so many places of the world!
Your video work is just stunning. You have gotten so very professional. Love the music that you use too!!
Well one thing is for sure, you are definitely seeing parts of the world no one ever will, thank you for sharing these awesome views of a country most of us will never see. Looking forward to the continuation. Ride safe Noraly, we all love you
If there IS a “secret” road it's likely it would not be nearly as exciting…or exhausting. Please keep taking us down the road less travelled, we’re in no rush to get there. To finish (first), you first must finish. TY IB!!!
I'm really impressed with the image stabilization of the GoPro considering how very bumpy that road seemed to be. I found it very interesting to see so many coniferous trees along the route. But I guess it was because of the elevation you're at in the mountains. Beautiful drone footage. Looking forward to seeing your arrival in Santa Fe and good to know you are safely beyond.
Safe riding and happy travels.
Tracks are incredible, also the drone footage, looking forward to your next video, thank you & happy trails ❤️
Thank you Noraly for sharing with us these wonderful videos. I feel for you when you face these challenges but your sensible attitude helps greatly. The views of Panama were sensational.
Alaska, con sus 300 cc responde muy bien por esos caminos!!! Una exelente elección y mucha tranquilidad para viajar. Chau!!! 💪👍🤗
Been following you since Malaysia. Each episode never fails to amaze me. Wish you more happy miles! You inspired me to get a RE Himalayan and ride.
Partly from watching the Africa trip,, I bought a CRF250L last October!
Then yesterday, a Moto Guzzi V7ii for the asphalt back roads.
My time is short, have to get out & have a little fun before they put me in the pine box..
@@savage22bolt32 yes I totally agree!
What an adventure. Beautiful scenery and country. More nail biting stuff…❤️
I've been watching every video. Love your vibe on travels and content. Sometimes when I watch when you get scared and question your ability, I shout at the screen, "gas it!" Lol. Always, when in doubt, gas it! It will save you in questionable times, but it will also liberate your riding. 😁 You can ride... You have great control.... Don't question it.... Ride it out. Lol. Passion and experience outweighs doubt.
Love all the videos though! Keep em coming. I love falling asleep to motorcycle sounds and great scenery!
Loving the adventure, go go Noraly
You ride to great places and by sharing make many people happy!!
Oh no,you can’t stop there and keep us in suspense!
Awesome setup in today's video. How you cut from curvy roads to birds view of the landscapes and back and forth several times. Super, Noraly! Effort on the road, effort on video clip board, respect!
BLOODY HELL!! This is the gnarliest terrain I've seen you ride and it's both terrifying and stunningly beautiful simultaneously!! Well done! I'm more impressed by your adventures every day! Massive hugs! 👍
You said "I don't know how people live here" and then, you came upon a house with the family relaxing on the front porch, shelling beans or something similar. Looks like a good life to me. I envy some of these places you fall up into, they seem so very far away from this reality of consumerism and politics. 😎
Thanks Noraly you’re awesome 👊🏻👍🏻😎🇺🇸🏍️
I so did not want that one to end. What an adventure. And such beautiful country.
Thanks for the ride Noraly! You know what you’re doing, you’re having an amazing adventure. The family that gave you directions probably think you’re loco, but we know better! Stay safe and know we are all looking forward to seeing how this all works out.✌️
