- In this episode I am riding from the coast of Cameroon, to the capital: Yaounde. I have to go there because I want to apply for a visa for the Central African Republic, my next destination! The main ingredient you need for this is patience.. (as well as for finding fuel, ATM's and food!)

The happy ladies dressed in white heading to church were a ray of sunshine on a rainy ride 🌞!!
Sunday , is to remember our Creater, as our earth is on the brink of war
I noticed they didn't ask her for money! "Give me something!" Sweet ladies
I loved these ladies dressed in white. And I don't think for one moment that they were nuns. I'm not sure why Noraly thought that?
@@SternDriveperhaps she asked them and that was their answer?
@@nicholastoo858 wacha siasa wewe
I saw another veteran biker describe Noraly as the “most famous adventure biker on the planet” in his video. Who would think that a knack for motorcycles and a mission to take the fear out of travel could result in so much fame and good wishes from around the world!? A prayer for Noraly’s safety and encounters with warm African hearts.
Another reason why she became famous is because she is a woman. You don't normally see a woman traveling alone on a motorbike. Much more doing it alone traveling all over Africa. Of course it also helps that she is pretty. A guy traveling alone on a motorcycle is so ordinary. People are not interested in watching them.
You forgot to write a knack for making film footage and using the Internet
She is the most famous contemporary motor cyclist bar none and highly respected by both her peers and the general population.
I wonder if Norway knew the Spanish motorbike rider, Carles Falcón. My prayers to his family after his passing, today. R.I.P.
@@wavemaker2077 I think that's a bit of a shortcut. I haven't seen many people doing what she does. Man or female. And yes, she knows how to tell the story but we all need something to stand out from the crowd whatever it is.
The ladies on their way to church gave me the biggest smile. What a lovely group of people. Between the scenery, wildlife, roads, and people, Cameroon is an amazing adventure!
Best scene ever, the beautiful ladies happily singing on their way to church!
It so amazing! All the beautiful things you manage to capture without any planning or rehearsing.
After seeing how much you work in order to produce the great quality videos you achieve (especially with the drone shots while riding)...
NOTHING BUT RESPECT AND APPRECIATION! ❤❤❤
Who else here is obsessed with itchy boots Rides and they can't wait for the next video like ?
I've been consistently watching and admiring Itchy Boots for a number of years now. I don't think I've missed an episode of watching her fearless courage, good humor, strength, intelligence determination, etc.
Only you
You did not see: I meet Itchy Boots ( Noraly) and this happens (S20 / E12). Charly Sinewan channel…..
The 20 minutes of an episode just fly by!
Sometimes I try to imagine Noraly driving Yves Kino's bike. This situation could be funny. 😄
The good thing of coming up to a huge puddle in the middle of a bridge like the one at 2:28 is that you're 100% sure there are no holes.😂
If there was a hole there wouldn't be water
Embarrassed to say my first thought was if you can’t see the planks on the bridge through the water, hope she doesn’t fall through. That thought lasted about 2 seconds but it’s enough to disqualify me from any mental work today.
Those ladies that were dressed up almost looked like the welcoming committee. How often do you see something like that out in the middle of nowhere? They were amazingly friendly.
I'm blown away by the many examples of kindness and the beauty in the people. It's heartbreaking to see such poverty but a wonderful innocence in the people in these countries - we in the west could learn a great deal from these folks. The ladies on their way to church dressed in white were the highlight! Such joy and beauty! Never knew anything about Cameroon but fell in love with it by watching this - like many of the other countries in west africa.
Those drone shots were magnificent Noraly!! Your adventures couldn't be any more interesting than if a Hollywood script writer had planned them out... in fact they are so much better. After all who could ever imagine getting serenaded on a Sunday morning by a group of beautiful smiling Cameroonian Nuns?!!🤗♥️
When I was young in Cameroon, I was a friend of the rain. I walked with ease under its showers, the large drops of water falling upon me felt like caresses. I also harbor a deep nostalgia for those roads which to you may seem disastrous and dilapidated, but for us, they were among the few means of communication we had to reach the big cities, or even just the church or school. Those not living in these places might imagine inhabitants as sad, frustrated, hungry, and impoverished. However, this is often not the case. Living in a place far removed from the hustle of large cities holds its significance, as it fosters a strong bond with nature and with people. Enjoy the rest of your journey in Cameroon.
❤
nice comment!
The local economy and ease of transporting goods plus, general ease of commuting to work would be hugely improved by properly paved roads. A little less nature and more modernity/progress would be a huge boon for all in multiple ways. Areas with too much nature are always poorer places or at the mercy of the tourism dollar prostituting the local population to the 'needs' of tourists. For example, in the U.S. there are areas that are Quite beautiful that have next to nothing for work or proper shopping areas close by for the daily needs of life.
As a European I totally agree with you. I lived in Africa for 2 years and traveled afterwards to several countries in Africa. If I hear people from Europe talk about Africa as a poor continent I have to explain that they just don't understand it. African people do things their own way and western people need to learn and appreciate this. I love to see all these people are happy and willing to help each other and have their family and friends. Be proud!
@henriolamachannel I think you’re the privileged one to understand and feel what it’s like not to need all the stuff we have in the west. I was privileged to spend 10 months in East Africa when I was younger and the poorest people are very nicest you’ll ever meet. It seems the privileged Mostly do not understand how you can live with Nothing and Be happy.
We have forgotten about rain over here and it's still raining in Cameroun. I love the country. Everywhere is green.
What a beautiful group of ladies you met on the road. They made my heart happy with their friendly smiles...
You manage to deal with all this stressful situations like it was just another day at the office. Your stamina is contagious and a inspiration for our normal daily routines. Deal with problems to sort it out it's part of anyone's day right? So, let's do it, with a smile in our faces and all the patience in the world.
She does have a tremendous attitude! That is very rare! Gotta love Noraly.
@@normandegeorge6526 On camera sure, But I'm sure she gets aggravated off camera.
I especially loved these mothers dressed in white coming back from church 🙏 may the grace of God be with them
Too beautiful...honouring God!😊🇦🇺
One sure thing about this series is Africa is really beautiful. Thanks for showing this to the world.
Incredible to think that you are just 1 person and the quality of the video, drone shots, music and editing in amazing - fantastic job Noraly. I am in awe of what you have accomplished.
Africa is a beautiful but often overlooked continent. I have been following your videos for 4 years now. It's a unique channel on UA-cam, like a jewel. Please be careful! Best wishes! 🇩🇪
Brazil is considered the lungs of the world. But from Noraly's travels through Africa, it seems that Africa too share in that designation. Thank you Africa. And thank you Noraly for bringing the world to our doorstep.
Cameroon is so beautiful and the music is perfect!!!
Africa celebrates you 👏🏿Noraly Schoenmaker
7;00 nothing like an African thunderstorm...never ceases to impress. Gorgeous country.
Noraly your unsinkable spirit and mental endurance is simply without peer. Thank you Noraly for taking all of us on this incredible adventure!❤🙏💪👍
I am a Cameroonian obsessed with your adventures. Proud that you visited my country. You are amazing. I will be watching your channel and maybe if you decide to come to Washington DC someday, I will personally come give you a big hug for visiting my beloved country Cameroon 😢.
You shiold be proud of your beloved country. Noraly portraits of Cameroon was nothing less than spectacular. it was a great pleasure for me watch all of it.
What a beautiful comment. 😊
Cameroonians seem very nice and the country is amazingly beautiful. You have every right to be proud.
Proud Cameroonian 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲 here. I love ❤️ my country 👏👏👏✔️✔️✔️💪💪💪.
Why do you consider yourself Cameroonian if you left for good and fooling around in Washington?
When you're looking for a brave and courageous woman, Noraly is one amongst the fe 20%, she's got the heart of a lion.
Wish you safety in all yours trips. Thanks for showing us the world.
What a beautiful country Cameroon is? The drone shots of the unending forests and the cloud capped mountains and the impending storm is pure summa-cum-laude. But it is intriguing to see Noraly finding a cozy place for the night, which she deserves. Anyway, a fantastic video, girl.
No matter what happens , Noraly always is smiling !!!!!
Heavenly Cameroon
Nature Beauty Amezing 😮
You have shown the beauty of Cameroon. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure
I love when you post more details of your food experiences, please! Thank you 🙏
Who else feels like your with her on her travels and experiences? We look forward to each video adventure.
Yeah she is definitely top 3 vloggers in world
I am👍
She is a fearless amazon warrior!😊
*you're
@@WiseWik you're 😉
Thank you for getting through the toughest time of my life. Watching your program kept me sane.
NORALY! I have already watched all your videos from Africa. One after the other. Sometimes till very late in the night. Thanks to you, I fell in love with the continent and the people. I have to go there!!!!! you are simply amazing! thank you for what you do. you bring people closer together! Regards from Austria 🇦🇹 ❤
thanks for showing the natural beauty of Cameroon - my country. I grew up in the english part of the country and this is like rediscovering my country. thanks
It is very helpful to see the struggles of things like getting gas, food and visa. I personally enjoy this part as well as all the beautiful scenery and scary roads. Keep ‘em coming!! 😂
I also like to see her take time to show struggles as its too easy for us to take for granted what she goes through. I didn't expect petrol to be an issue in the capital city, but clearly it was. Oh that Pizza though!
That reception of the Cameroonian women in white Is awesome. Nobody beats my people in terms of hospitality.
I agree - what a wonderful scene that was. Never ceases to amaze me what she comes across. That had to warm Noraly's heart. Peace!
Yes! From angels to angels.🤷🏾♀️🙏🏿💜🙏🏿
Lol Noraly said they where nuns but they are not. ☺
@@jean-pierremaury6450 I thought she said Mums, I could be wrong of course.
@@andrewwestover7278I listened several time and looks like she said Nuns😉
Cameroon is my country.. Thank you for making it to Cameroon..you are the best . God bless and keep you safe.
Noraly is just exceptional in every way. I don't think what you did and is doing can be outdone. It is a privilege to be part of your journey. Keep on going, you rock!
Perfectly said. Fortunately one of her many attributes is humility, otherwise a common person would let the success go to their head. The real Wonder Woman. Peace!
In times when so many 'bad' things are covered, I always look forward to seeing your travels Noraly. Thank you.
Cameroon looks like one of the best places in Africa. In natural beauty and people.
I agree, I am convinced now to visit Cameroon
In my opinion Tanzania takes that crown.
I thought so too. And it has great placer gold mining opportunities, big nuggets. Had a good vibe.
It is the entire Africa in miniature and very fertile land indeed!
Does Nigeria look good ?
The drone shots always leave my in awe!!!! So beautiful!!!! ❤️
Noraly after watching all your videos I can't describe how hard it would have been for the journey you covered with such courageous heart.....I had only one thing to say "WELL DONE BRAVE LADY"
Shout out to your editing skills. I am guessing you spend as much time riding Alaska as you do editing. That part at the four-minute mark with the drone shot and the music was beautiful. Stay safe Noraly.
She has an editor. I doubt her
@@goodman4093 I don't think so. She has said before she does it all.
She does all... no joke@@goodman4093
She does it solo, amazing
Of course we have seen countless spectacular drone shots and music. The way she matched the imagery to the music here was magnificent. No different than the conductor of an orchestra.
There are videos that you just watch and that's it, but there are videos that make you fall in love and fill your life with peace, harmony and knowledge, and Noraly manages to do it, thank you infinitely
14:53 That pizza looked absolutely DELIICIOUS!! I hope i was as good as it looked, Noraly. You certainly deserve it given the difficulties you've had crossing Cameroon!! THANK YOU for briniging us along on our wonderful adeventures!!
African people are the best in their pure hearts you can never get other people singing and ululating for a guest beyond the boarders of African. May God bless Africa and the children of africa
Try Latinoamérica ❤
I like Cameroon it looks like a beautiful and friendly place great to see you enjoying the place and the people 😊
Merci Noraly ! Cameroun looks absolutely beautiful and the people seem very friendly. I love the pictures and also the music you choose. They go so well together. It is impressive. Your editing of your videos is a piece of art.
Her COURAGE is just fantastic
I went for a ride today on my mates Honda CRF450(thank you for the inspiration). I haven't been on an off road bike in decades. Every part of my body is aching. It amazes me how you manage to go such long distances on a daily basis. 👏👏👏
I don’t know how you keep going Noraly, but we are enjoying Cameroon from our armchairs! Also, what wonderful, spiritual, happy women you encountered!!
I know it’s too late to advice you now but I really hope you took the main road to Central Africa Republic! 🙏🏾
Phenomenal drone and music coordination! I can only try to imagine the joy in eating that scrumptious pizza after the food availability in recent videos! You continue to enrich our knowledge greatly. Saying Thank You doesn't seem enough, Peace! ❤❤❤
Good morning from Colorado. My alarm is set for every Wednesday and Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m.
Hi Noraly, I hope by now you took the route north from Yaoundé, the route via Lome used to be one hell of a road in this saison. I’m following your channel more closely as before as I used to live in Cameroon 20 years ago for a few years and drove my Suzuki samurai through most of the same roads as you. I wasn’t a biker yet back then but I was in awe for the local bikers and taxidrivers conquering every obstacle.
Amazing and beautiful jungle and use of your drone. It’s interesting to hear the logistics as a reminder how much work, patience, decision-making and resilience involved. So grateful to see places I will never see through you. Thank you so much! Stay safe!
I am a Cameroonian living in London.I was born and grew up in Yaoundé.I have been watching Itchy Boots for about a month now from the episode of the corrupt policemen in Nigeria and was so excited Noraly was going to Cameroon.
Nostalgic watching her ride through my hometown and the hospitality of my people put a smile on my face despite the embarrassing state of the roads.
Goodluck with the rest of your journey!
Really are you in London right?
Yeah I live in London
@@jerryatanga6383 wow how wish I was there right now 😘
Why hasn't Cameroon Prospered? Like Infrastructure Housing Etc etc .. Not to mention Untapped natural Gas, Diamonds, Bauxite, etc etc Uranium, iron ore, rubies Sapphires.
@Sema4beach Corruption, bad management, abuse of power and inefficiency of competent authorities/government officials
The aerial view of the forest and the cloud engulfed mountains was amazing! It was so nice of the ‘Sunday Ladies’ to greet you so warmly! The rain, the difficulty finding fuel, and the ATM search is just part of your day. But, the pizza looked wonderful! Thanks for another day of your adventure. Ride safe Noraly!
Yea Willy that pizza looked amazing. Hope it was as good as it looked. I bet she ate the whole thing. And I was surprised Petrol was a problem in the capital city. Peace!
@@jasonzerbini2375 …. I’ll bet she ate the whole pizza! It looked really good!
WOW, that rain again! Good thing you found that little shelter just in time! It sure is stressful in those parts mainly because of the road situation! Glad to see paved roads after the storm! Noraly, thanks for sharing all the logistics involved in your journeys. That also adds to the stress level. As always, you have the patience required! Looking forward to the next country! Safe travels! Cheers from Texas USA❤❤
Oh what a random encounter! Happy, singing nuns on your Sunday ride! Love it!!
@@lucindavillarreal2676 Yes those ladies in white were definitely a highlight. That and the pizza! LOL. Peace!
Greetings from Scotland! Why did I take so long to find this amazing channel!!!!! You have one more subscriber Noraly! 🤝😊
Every time you reach a city I hold my breath and think oh my here comes the really dangerous riding.
Safe travels, God bless.
The change in tone from thinking they were birds to realizing they're bats made me laugh out loud. 🤣
The scenery of the virgin equatorial forest from the drone and the accompanying background music is just mind-blowing. Riding and flying a drone at the same time is not an easy task. I know in one of your episodes you explained how you do it but man, I still don't get it. Kudos to you
Noraly …a true maverick! How she is so relentlessly positive is beyond the endurance of most people- especially is such difficult conditions. I want some of what she’s got !!!
Have been watching this for a number of years now. Wery entertaining, wonderful scenery, always keeps you on your toes wondering how she always succeeding while taking so many chances. Will continue watching as long as she takes us on all her adventures. I am 83 years of age and have seen so many places while following her jurney , very few get to see. Also get to see how many people around the world are friendly and always willing to help others. I pray for her safety and for her health. She is doing and enjoying what so many others would like to do. God Bless.
Thank you for for all pray am also appreciate you too much dear❤
You are an amazing ambassador for your country Noraly. Your spirit rivals all those Dutch explorers of old.
Yes, everything you've shown us is difficult ... poor or next to no roads, weather, finding petrol for Alaska, negotiating visas for countries which may/may not be safe to pass through, yet encountered these lovely singing nuns ... again the riches of Africa is in the hearts of its people🙏💖🙏💖🙏
GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
You really proved your bravery and the real meaning of moto vlogging....Hats off to you!!!
The ladies going to church are the salt of the earth! Wonderful welcome!
The aerial shots are incredible.
The ladies were so pretty in their bright, white dresses on such a muddy road! I'm watching you go through the gorgeous Cameroon jungle while snow pelts down outside my window. :D
Bats out in the daytime - wow! Unusual, indeed, but they sometimes do. I wonder if the approaching storm was pushing insects ahead of it, and the bats were taking advantage. (Unless they are fruit bats, then probably not)
I liked the two Itchy Boots magic bits: 1. I need shelter - the perfect empty shelter is there for you...with ducks. 2. I would sure love a pizza - delicious pizza served up.
You are just the best, I look forward to all of your videos and following you along this beautiful courageous journey. I have been fortunate to travel the world, often by bicycle in remote parts, your videos and their ability to capture the sights and culture take me right back to it all. I just adore you Noralie, keep on keeping on!!!! You are making a HUGE difference in all of our hearts. By showing the world how other people live and how we are different but more alike than not. Thank you from my heart. A world class traveller you are indeed. Be well~
As an African I'm so much proud of what ur doing, surely ur a hero 💪💪🤝
Gosh, You are bringing back memories. I drove from London to Johannesburg in an Ex Army Bedford 41 years ago. Cameroon is exactly as I left it. Beautiful, wild & green. Take the Northern route to Bangui. Love your channel.
Your resolute strength is inspiring ... as is your positive attitude. Good wishes all the way.
What a magnificent view of the countryside from the drone. The roads through the forest seem to never end. The sky looks angry. Take care 😊
A really great job Noraly. I will never again complain about a gas station here in America. You are a real trooper. Keep up the safe riding and have fun.
Thanks, I appreciate hearing about your logistical decisions and how you make them. It gives me a more connected feeling to your journey.
How are you dear?
Noraly, you are blessed for bringing the world to us
Congratulations Noraly for your courage and wonderful adventure!
Amazingly lush and vibrant green landscapes. Even color of the soil. It was comical how the two ducks patiently waited with you till the rain passed, but you’re right they are probably more at tune on when the rain clears. 😊
The group of Cameroonian nuns reminded me of the time you met the group of ladies on the side of the road in South Africa. How excited they were when they realized you were a woman, so sweet 🥰 The petrol station looked like madness. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that huge truck almost hit you 😮💨 I trust your great instincts led you well through the rest of Cameroon 🙏🏼 All the best!
They are not nuns, it's a White garment church, all members wear white
What a beautiful people and beautiful country. Thank you, Noraly.
I love that you used the ducks as a weather 'tell', xlnt situational awareness!
Nothing will get in Noraly's way. There is no obstacle too hard to tackle, no road too tough. I just hope she can get to the border on time. I hope we can see more Cameroon in the next episode. What a beautiful country with even more beautiful people!
As an African, I admire your adventures. Life should be fun, and you are doing a great job.
Your bravery in driving all the way is admirable. I give you my respect.
Wow !! Amazing Drone clips of the vast African countryside. Just exquisitely beautiful. Lots rain too in this Africa ride hence the swamps on the roads. Not only the hardship of negotiating these muddy paths but once in the heart of a city Noraly struggles to find even Petrol for Alaska and ATM to withdraw money from. Thank god , the food part is better and her craving for western food was dealt with. It was nice to hear Noraly sharing her thoughts aloud about further route to Central African Republic. Wish you luck with the weather Itchy Boots. You are an Absolute Legend, just can’t help exclaiming that after every vlog we watch.
Loved where you stayed at the beach and the drone footage gives a good picture of the countryside. From the road jungle is jungle, but from above the canopy a whole world. Thanks Noraly.
Noraly en Alaska, jullie hebben goed voor die bui/storm gescholen. Voor de rest weer een mooie rit, ook met de dansende dames die naar de kerk gingen, en met die mooie vergezichten, we zijn wederom trots op jullie
Your just pure grit and determination Noraly. It's always inspiring to watch your adventures. My motorcycle trips are much more tame, but still fun. In my day job I run a fuel tanker in extreme winter conditions and watching Noraly helps me keep my difficult days of work in perspective. Thanks for the years of adventure.
Wyatt i am an old roughneck no dak derrickhand and have been cheering on noraly sinsce cape horn .she is just all that
Well said Wyatt. I too have been in some brutal travel conditions. After watching Noraly, I will face any future challenges with a totally different perspective....and try not to cuss while doing it! Peace!
@@jasonzerbini2375 I still cuss, but its in a more fun bantering sort of way.
The video and cinematography are always elite❤❤
Ive been following Noraly on her travels since very early on. I can remember when she began, and how far shes come in both her riding skills and yhe quality of her documentation, she is really inspiring!
This video series is one small thing in life that makes me smile when everything else is so difficult.
Those bats are fruit bats like we have in Brisbane Australia. The roost in the hundreds then fly away together as one. We got them flying over our house each morning and night
Itchy boots, making Sundays great again 😊
It's been a very interesting and challenging trip through this beautiful country and people of Cameroon! Love the fun! Thank you Noraly!
I wish I could just get myself an Alaska and start following you around in your adventures😂
Great videos. I read allot of the comments. So impressed with your audience from all around the world. Isn’t it fantastic what UA-cam has done for communication and video sharing. Ride on brave lady.
Never before have I seen such a beautiful country. Africa !!! Thank you for bringing us all with you. Such courage,adventure and determination you persue your passion. I have not missed one of your videos. Im in awe!!!❤
I always say that travel government directors should honor Noraly as the countries travel ambassador due to the simple fact that Noraly is always showing us the magnificent views of the country she in and how positive the people are that greet Noraly. I know more and more travelers will venture to the areas Noraly has traveled to, I know I will..safe travels Noraly and Alaska…(Alaska is getting a real workout this season ..)
Wow, what a rainstorm 😮Another very busy city, but you satisfied our curiosity with those nice roads through the countryside. 😊
It’s becoming more and more obvious that your extensive travels BEFORE you took to riding are serving you well. You just seem to know how and what to look for and how to avoid pitfalls before they befall you. By the time you see this you will have made your decision on the best route. I trust that you have chosen well. Keep up the great work, we’re all enjoying riding along with you, NORALY. Stay safe and continue to ENJOY…❤❤❤Rick
