- In this episode, I am trying to leave The Gambia and cross back into Senegal. The immigration post forgot to bring their stamp though because they were running a bit late that morning..

You are showing the positive side of humans and humanity. The media shows only negative side as it sells well. Good Job Noraly.
Well said !
i really wanted to see that monkey which was causing some damage
You know, both my parents were teachers. They accused me of making a "Forgot my homework"-face more than once. If there ever was a perfect example of a "Forgot my homework"-face, it was presented by that kind officer at that very interesting stampless border stop! 😊 In Africa even the border crossing episodes are entertaining!
Lovely episode!
🤗😍😍😍!!1!
😂😂 so right!
I don't get out much and I look forward to your videos so I can get out and see the world through your eyes. Thank you so much!
me to im sure are not alone noraly is awsome
No te conocía y desde que empecé a hacerlo a través de tus experiencias y vídeos,me ha enamorado tu forma de ser y aptitud de vivir y transmitir lo vivido.❤
Noraly has definitely given us a bird eye view of the world we live in!
Eu também aqui no extremo sul do Brasil, não perco nenhum vídeo da Noraly.É uma programação especial que nenhum canal de TV transmite. É 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯
You should get out more. You only live this life once. Why would you do it indoors? I know paraplegics that travel the world.
As a Gambian 🇬🇲 Noraly, am proud of you, #6:34 they were saying positive things about you like( she’s traveling around with a motorcycle to experience things n so on, I was smiling when they said that.
Didn't hear any of that 🤔 😕
@@surajammeh1061it's true they were saying that
It's so nice to see how kind and generous everyone appears to be during your journey. Especially the border guards and officials. The news media here in the US tends to paint a dangerous portrait of west Africa and doesn't do justice to the people there that are just living their lives. I'm glad your reporting from the road works to mitigate those things.
And as always -- what a fine adventure you're sharing. Thank you!
Media hypes up everything -
Oh nooo it's going to rain tomorrow!!
I know for a fact, there are many more nice people in the world, than people you don't ever want to meet.
8:46 that's the look I get from everyone in SubSaharaville
@@savage22bolt32 the media does this under direction of the politicians. They dont want their citizen slaves to travel. Just work and pay taxes until they die. So this media hype is just propaganda to keep you at home and working for the man
As a westerner and having worked in West Africa about 25 years ago I can assure you it was no picnic. I had to pay bribes to go to work, get back from work, getting official documents etc, etc. Also it's no different to the western world regarding people, there are good, bad and indifferent ones.
@@beebeer made payoffs in the us many times. Cops scale masters security guards. Graft is everywhere. The world is in bad shape and politicians feed the monster every day
Alaska just rolled her eyes when she saw the small boat but she had a pretty easy ride. Noraly just needed some sea legs to stand for the trip. Once again, I am amazed at the border crossing process and how you make it look so simple even though the temps were ticking up with every stop, but always a smile to every one she meets in the process. Love how kids in every country of the world greet you with such excitement! Great video, Noraly
😂
''maybe the monkeys still asleep''. Thats adorable.
From Malaysia 🇲🇾..enjoying another episode of Noraly motorcycle 🏍️ adventures . Continue smiling 😃, stay safe, take care and all the Best👍
Boss bila nak tiru macam noraly?
Your travels abroad clearly show us that not everyone has the latest and greatest of things.
We sometimes take what we have for granted.
A happy family and good health continue to be the most important things anyone, anywhere, can have.

It's funny to see how disorganized the border crossing guards are. "Opps I left the exit-visa stamp at home." LOL 🤣 And loading the bike into all these small boats is a nail-biter. Keep on Truckin' Noraly. 🥰
Just remember if you see the video, the border crossing was successful
They probably don’t get a lot of tourists passing by through there!
@@stevenmeyer9674 😂 🤣
@@stevenmeyer9674 yup. You should try crossing the canadian USA border with a load of meat. FDA inspection to get cleared and the agents specialize in trying to frustrate you to get negative reaction to cause greater delay in clearance. 😵
Avoud such PLACES.
Good Morning Itchy Boots and all viewers from Australia
@David Edmunds, good morning neighbor, greetings from New Zealand
Morning
Gmorning. I’m doing catch ups and loving it. Cheers from wet and cold Melbourne.
Wow - another river crossing and we clench as Alaska goes untied on top of a pirague ... yikes !!! Beautiful, friendly & helpful people, lovely landscapes, another border crossing the guard forgot his stamp at home, no problem get back to town & get clearance from there and our delightful Noraly takes it all in stride, smile and goes on. How could you not love the adventuruous spirit of this woman??? I LOVE IT🤗
GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
You definitely have to admire her for what she’s accomplished and her day to day life!

So glad that Noraly did this on her own without a tv production crew taking over, and ruining the natural presentation. This is all real and it shows. Another great adventure today! Wow!
Does anyone else let out a huge sigh of relief when Alaska touches safely back down on terra firma? 😮
@@dr.christopherjohnson4356 weirdo
Feci quidem.
Border crossings are definitely a chore, but you always manage and make it appear effortless! The rainy season will soon be upon you! We can’t change the weather, just endure it…. Press on Noraly, I know you will find a way around the floods and the mud! Great episode and thank you for sharing another day of your adventure!
The only reason why crossing the border is such a task and a chore is because of the corruption and you know this is why a lot of people don't travel to other countries without the knowledge of knowing this lady here I definitely have to say she knows her stuff her eyes are not as equal to somebody of color or a native to the country because she's white but she still is accosted by the
these border crossing, are always so......... I forgot the stamp at home, i never heard that one. !
another amazing adventure here in west Africa ! thanks a lot for the efforts you put in these Noraly !
I guess the queen was the issue here i mean English language. Instead of saying we left the stamp at the office 😅
Disarming people across the globe is a specialty of yours. Very few can do that and you are just so genuine and beautiful to watch! Safe travels, my friend!❤
@@dr.christopherjohnson4356 let me guess, you're working overseas temporarily? Are you also a widower?
@@dr.christopherjohnson4356 I figured. Good luck.
Hi Noraly, so many people from so many different countries always comment on your videos, I love that. I also always look forward to seeing your latest video. And what a beautiful sleeping location you have found again. Glad we can enjoy your travels and adventures. Greatings from the Netherlands
I am always impressed by your calmness in stressful situations. From sketchy river crossings in precarious boats to a hell of bureaucracy in office borders you pass through that like a breeze. It is inspirational and truly a masterclass of dealing with it.
HI! At the end of each episode Noraly asks "Did you like this video?". The answer is always: "More than liked!!". I can say that I have become a "Noraly jank", I always look forward to another episode! Thank you!!!👍👍👍
No it doesn't get any better than having breakfast by our majestic river gambia. God I miss home 🇬🇲
The group of young men cheering you off at the start...heartfelt! And, I loved it....I forgot the stamp at home. Too funny.
Navigating bureaucracies is more challenging than some of the terrain evidently. Glad that the people in charge are so helpful.
You look a lot happier Noraly, or much less exhausted anyway. The two video schedule is agreeing with you.
Balancing half a dozen motorcycles on a little motorboat seems completely normal in Africa. Hey, it works!
Your patience and graciousness in everything you encounter is amazing to those of us in America. We expect everything to happen now and with competence. I've learned so much about the art of living through you, Noraly. Thank you for taking us along. Safe travels.

Noraly & small boat river crossings. An expert in these efforts. No doubt when you see the small boat arrive carrying 3 bikes your confidence goes up as they are use to doing these types of transfers. Your patience & calm manner are your strongest assets. They enable you to move along and bring us these wonderful sights. Thanks again for a nice video.
In 1997 I was in Zimbabwe on a motorcycle trip. There were about a dozen bikes, one place we stayed we had to hire a guard to sit by the bikes all night to scare off the monkeys, they not only liked the mirrors but would try to pull on anything they could, cables and plug wires were typical targets. In other places we left the bikes out in the open, nowhere near any building, keys in the ignition, the monkeys that resided in that area were not interested.
Sounds like you were in "MunkyTown"
Ah, I forgot we get an Itchy Boots treat on Sundays. What a lovely surprise!!
"I left my stamp at home..." perfect...
😂😂
Noraly, I am still amazed watching you cross rivers with ease and seeing you efficiently jump through all the hoops presented by border crossings with police and customs agents. It's a pleasure to watch your calm interactions with border agents even though some people in your situation would get annoyed by the inconvenience caused by the agent forgetting his rubber stamp. 👍 ❤
Good Morning from Texas!
Your beaming smile and calm attitude helps to make the confusing border paperwork more doable!😎😃😎😉
Not to mention, you have been-there-done-that just few times before.☺👍
Sending you Best Wishes and Safe Travels 💖💖🏍🤠
You've gotta love the way the guys casually wheel Noraly's bike onto the boat.. not a bother on them, yet careful and respectful😇😀
Border crossings are always interesting with Itchy Boots Stamping Out
"Good morning Internet"...
That is one of my favorite parts of her videos.
Just what I was waiting all day for.... my Itchy Boots fix. You're getting good at this small boat crossings. Can't wait for Wednesdays action packed border crossing....
I enjoy every adventure you take us on Itchy Boots & Alaska! Living & Loving Life, as it should be for all. You Rock NORALY. 👍😁💚🏆💥🎶👏

Itchy Boots is racing again. This time, the rainy season. And, you all know, that you can't win in any race with Mother Nature. 😀
Dear ITCHY, Ii was following you on FACEBOOK and UA-cam but am so happy to see you in my own village, the Crossing point there is where i was born and all the men at the crossing using ferry and boat are all my relatives....this is the place where 1st PRESIDENT of the REPUBLIC OF THE GAMBIA was born...this is one of my favorite video of all time.... LOVE
Wow.. that went way too quickly!! I was so happy to see you here again Noraly. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Stay safe 🙏 until next time.. ♥️

You have genuine interest in connecting with people and engage in meaningful and lighthearted conversation. This ability possess a warm and inviting demeanor that immediately puts strangers at ease. Your smiling face radiates friendliness and approachability, making it easy for others to feel comfortable initiating conversations.
🇮🇹 Here WE are, folks! Gooood Afternoon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s gooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹
Very few things on YT have genuine redeeming quality, this is one.❤❤❤
I feel more proud wenever i see my fellow africans treating you so humbly ❤❤❤
Your retorts always are so smart,now with the official guy older and wise and also clever. I declare Noraly a world Heritage person.🌹
Noraly handles border crossings like an absolute pro, such a breeze! I guess her genuinely friendly attitude eases these otherwise highly stressful/tense interactions (and of course having the correct paperwork!)
Love how friendly the local people are - am really impressed by West Africa so far!

The ferry tale continues
Noraly, you have amazing patience, which is what you need in Africa.
Good afternoon Noraly, from Derbyshire England 😍
I'm really enjoying these African videos, Noraly. I think your upbeat-never-say-die attitude really makes these videos enjoyable.
Yes, her upbeat attitude is sensed by the people she interacts with and they radiate it back to her.
That official at the border was funny, obviously his boss had given him a dressing down for forgetting the vital stamp causing extra work for his boss, who actually turned out to be quite pleasant and not officious at all, all pretty laid back in the end, hey what the hell we all have lapses in our memories, nice he didn’t make up some lie and was totally honest about it all. Noraly’s laid back attitude I am sure helped a lot to save the day.😊😊😊😊😊
"I do have a stamp but I've left it at home."
God love 'em.
I always click thumbs up even before I watch Noraly videos. Every single one is great!
Today is the running of the Indianapolis 500 race. It’s lots of fun to watch but I prefer your speed and adventure instead. From Indianapolis, “let’s go Noraly!”
That was the smiling coast of The Gambia. The people are always smiling and generous.
Excellent bourder crossing - the least busiest doesn't mean nothing hey. Great riding and shootings 😎 👍

I find border crossings so stressful, but you take it all in your stride. Respect. Your film editing is also so so good, you’re going from strength to strength.
Ride safe.
Class. Always. If more people acted like you, they would be more likely to be treated like you are treated. Thank you.
Its rainy season in West Africa (heavy torrential, lightening and thunder) ....most of the trails are muddy,messy and very difficult to ride on. if you ever press on, do get back up emergency 'resources' to pick you anytime. stay safe
In many ways Noraly's patience and calm approach to borders in West Africa just highlights how chaotic life is these countries, just so different!!
Usually I give a thumbs up AFTER I watch someone's video....... but with YOUR videos I give you the thumbs up as soon as I see you on the screen! Thanks for your adventures and as always, stay SAFE .Love from Australia 🇦🇺🏍🌹
Senegal People deserve a lot more than what their Government give them.
Thank you Noraly for such informative videos.
The scenery from your apartment straight onto the beach and boats was a fantastic surprise. ❤
Many Thanks and Blessings. 🙏
Thank you, Noraly, for taking me along for the adventure. You have a beautiful name, and smile. As always, God bless you, wherever you go. Love, from CVC USA
The river crossing with the motorcycle on these small boats. Oh my gosh, the risk involved with everything, I don’t know how she does it. Strong lady.
OMGosh Noraly ! So fun. Interesting to watch you communicating with you using your great command of english as a secound language with someon else who is using english as a secound language but not having Dutch as a first. Reminfds me of "Throw the cow over the fence, some hay" Transed from German/ maybe. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
As usual I am in total awe of your ability to bring out the humanity in the people you encounter and are able to show them to the world in a respectful and insightful manner. We are all better of for your courage, manners, patience and smile.!
I love the continual views of how folk are living today in these parts of the world. Take away some iron and rubber in the vehicles (and engined- vehicles) and it seems like it's a way of life that goes back centuries. Thanks!
had spent some time 40 days together with few gambian students around 10 of them (they are among the brightest students from gambia studies abroad). they were all easygoing happy and joyful..miss them much and their amazing charcters.
Yes
Breakfast on the Gambia river is my dream too…😂😅
I pray for you each and every day 🙏🙏
We will love to see you in our beautiful smiling coast of West Africa The Gambia🇬🇲
And i will love to be ur tour guide, went ever you Visit us😂
Noraly, thank you for being here virtually. I've been battling anxiety and depression for a while now, but you showing so many beautiful things, the kindness that still exists in this world, how simple life can actually be, reminds me goals can be achieved and to not abandon. Thanks for the tears of joy, the laughs and the inspiration to keep going. Be safe out there and see you in the next one!

I don’t know how you do it, border crossings, river crossing, finding accommodations, eating establishments and still find time to do your eyes and smile. If there was a way to pass on to the world your determination and sense of adventure we’d all be nomads for sure. Thank you for allowing us to live your life with you…
The monkey. That little oddity that draws us into that specific place and time. That gol dang monkey that makes it all so real.
Noraly, I just want to see you are prepared in Africa against mosquitos especially around water. Nigeria and around lake Victoria has a lot of maleria and i lost my brother from it in 1999. We both had travelled many years in Asia and he had spent 3 months in africa also but he caught it in Laos. Im sorry as i dont want to worry you but all you can do is be well informed on the areas you are travelling through and take the necessary precautions. By the way im absolutely loving following your amazing travels. God bless you and thank you.
As a Gambian am so proud of you...such a brave and strong woman ..been following you for some time now just wanna say keep it up.
I am studying climate change impacts on natural ecosystems and your videos from around the world are giving me an excellent window into what is going on worldwide. This information is invaluable. No scientists are being funded to travel to all these places and witness the drought. Your camera captures it. Plus, you are super likeable and I feel like we are friends, I watch you so much! You are an amazing travel companion! You are up early, always have a positive attitude, and you are fearless. I would, however, like to know how you keep your make-up from running all over your face with the helmet and heat. Be safe, Noraly. We all love you!
Hi Noraly. Every week, I eagerly await your video because your adventure is my adventure
I love the colors of their clothing,boats and buildings. BTW I just returned from my adventure around Iceland, because of your adventure there. And your itchyboots hoodie helped keep me warm. Thank you
Some time in the future when you retire from this you can always be an online expertconsultant in how to cross all the borders there are in the entire world.
Love to my favorit youtuber
Thank you for sharing your adventures with me!! I get to meet the incredible people, experience all the excitement, and apprehension, while never leaving the comfort of my home!!! God bless you!!!!
Hi, From Turkey. Peace upon on you and pay attention to yourself 👍
Your videos are always a breath of fresh air in my week. Many thanks for the joy and information you bring us each week.
This episode gives new meaning to the word "adventure".
I have said it before... but your videos really inspire me. Thank you
😁 7:38 “stand strong”, clearly didn’t know who they where dealing with!!👍🏍
The people you bump into are so kind and helpful. I am really enjoying your time in West Africa! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
Noraly, your strength and beautiful personality will keep you moving ! Safe travels!
“…U should get stamped out but oh I forgot the stamp!”…Love❤ Africa!😂😂😂
the immigration office is like out of a movie, and Noraly is the lead. lol
Annoying Monkeys can be BuddhaPests and at least the little one was better behaved. Good people are always the heart of friendship. Nice video Noraly.
I know we are in awe of where Noraly ventures, but feel sure the locals do too! best motorcycle adventure channel by a country mile, your positivity, kindness and zest for life rubs off on everyone. stay safe enjoy the ride!
YES, the heat. I am sitting in the hot, damp jungle of Mexico enjoying your ride before the big rains. We get 'em, too! Much of the world shares this climate. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

I'd love to come back in Senegal, what a lovely country !
Welcome back brother from senegal 🇸🇳
Your earning Ambassador levels by now!🏅
The river (water) crossing men just stay amazed seeing a women with a bike on her own appear from no where and then after the crossing say bye and go again to the unknown, they just do they best helping and trying to understand.. definitely thinking what a woman!
Hey Itchy Boots! We had breakfast with you this morning! Looks like Alaska had the best seat in the boat for sure! It was pretty sketchy for those other bikes! Looks like you packed your patience as usual for the border crossing! Good that you have all that experience behind you! Looking forward to all those “WELCOME TO…” in the future! Just love to see the joy and excitement in your face when that happens! Cheers to you from Texas!❤❤

Oh Noraly when I was in my twenties I thought the only places I would ever want to live is in the mountains. But you and other two wheeled travelers have made me want to live any where in the world. You all have shown that there is amazing people and places no matter where you go in the world. I thank you for going to the trouble of sharing your journeys with all of us who have not traveled or are not able to travel. Blessing on you travelers of the world and thank you again for the hard work to share it all.
You certainly have patience, dear Noraly. Thanks for sharing this experience with us. Godspeed.
