Just the fact that they will escort you is already a very positive point for the country and and very admirable .those police men has done more for tourism than any advertisement could.

Not all of them are like that unfortunately. I’m glad the police officer did that. Gave me hope that there is change coming to all police officers in Guatemala. Most of them have 6th grade education that are waiting to retire. Most common education level is now 9th grade and supposedly they now want college graduates only. I myself have never been harassed or asked for money to go through but it’s a common everyday practice. Be very careful down there, masked men, with machetes and guns Usually hide in bushes on dirt roads, especially in the western part of the country.
Late Atitlan sees a lot of foreign visitors, including backpackers and language students. They know they have to keep it somewhat safe (safer than a lot of Guatemala) to keep tourists coming and bringing money (fancy police cars are a clue). (Note: even the road out of San Marcos has banditos at time, normally going after walking tourists). San Pedro is great, especially around Semana Santa time. A wonderful place to spend some time at a langauge school to learn Spanish and do a homestay. San Marcos is much quieter with basically only one road through town. The lake is a wonderful place to spend some time, though as everywhere it is facing environmental issues.
I must say those were some of the most professional and polite officers I have seen in a foreign documentary in a while. Thank you to them and I hope others take notes on how to treat folks.
What a joy to see the world through the eyes of Itchy Boots. What most of us see as scary, threatening or nearly impossible, she sees as an opportunity to interact with the local residents and to challenge herself further in her great adventure. "To protect and serve" is the motto of many local police organizations. Obviously in this section of Guatemala it is "To protect, serve and ride!" whenever one gets the chance.
To be fair people just need to be open minded. I think social media, always 'on' news etc (and remember bad news sells) along with many governments using 'divide and rule' and 'hostile environment' makes people scared and untrusting. Humans just want to get along and have fun. Bad areas still have good people. Just be open, honest, still alert but treat people how you want to be treated. It works
@Ernest Sipes Yea there are shitty people who will do bad things to you sometimes. Does that mean you should live your life in fear in your house because you're scared of some practically non existent threat? Statistics shows that people you know are a thousand times more dangerous to you than strangers.
...and don't think for a moment that blond & blue eyes doesn't help. I'm sure one of my sisters wouldn't be taken as good of care as noraly. There's a lot of hate in this world against anyone other than white.
Thank you to the Guatemalan police... both the policeman who called to coordinate and the policeman who escorted. Salute. I hope they get to read these praises to them to help boost their morale.
Is nice to see that there really nice cops out there! Guatemala Police officers are nicer than a lot of other places and they are 100% professionals! Well done officers!
Is like any other country, there are good police officers and bad ones, but the majority are good ones. Let's not put everyone in the same sack. The civil police now days are trained in human relations and are more professional as the requirements to become one are more strict. Enjoy the country and be safe and be aware of your surroundings like any other country. Crime happens anywhere, but Guatemala for the most part is safe.
WOW, the police were super nice. I am really impressed at their generous efforts to keep you safe. I especially liked the one who rode your moto for you and helped you in the dirt.
she's a woman / white / and is recording everything. obviously they were going to be nice to her. Get a 50yo black casual dude, they won't be that attentive to him
@@websurfer5772 being a woman, blonde and cute helps anyway, but i m not saying they wouldn t be helpful to any other foreigner, even if it was a man. But being a blonde cute girl helps lol for sure
What kind and helpful Police! So heartwarming to see how they carefully escorted you through the difficult ride. As a mom, I was a little worried for you, Noraly. You're a careful and skillful rider. Your command of the language is impressive! Best wishes!
Kudos to the policeman for keeping our Noraly safe and sound. Also the smile he made when he rode Alaska was so wholesome. Lucky man he is to be able to tame the mighty Alaska.
"tame"??? It's 300cc. It's an appropriate size / weight for a smaller person but woefully underpowered for bad surfaces. Only way to "tame" it is to max it out. Timidity kills. The policeman just gave it big handfuls of throttle, nothing special or clever. Noraly needs to follow his example and rev A LOT harder and speed up generally. If it was a 650 with bags of low-rev torque then maybe she'd get away it and fall off less...but it would be too big n heavy to pick up. She chose it for its size (wisely I think) but the flip side is she has to compensate for low power low torque by REVVING IT HARDER!
@@philbowles3240 It's a fuel injected dual overhead cam, 4 valve engine, made for higher revs and you're right, she needs to use more throttle off-road instead of riding it so mellow. She switches out of 1st gear way to early. She always slows to a stop when she sees a hill or dirt and then just allows herself to fall over. I really hope she learned from the officer that Alaska has plenty of power if she would just use it.
It’s really awesome how you put the time and effort into getting out 3 videos a week, for months on end and always at the same time. Thank you so much Noraly! Have a great weekend. 👍
You made the day for that police officer. I'm guatemalan, and if I had found your channel sooner, I would have told you not to take that road because IT IS dangerous. I'm glad the police escorted you, and all went well. Pleas keep safe ❤️
She's from a colonial country, they always do things like this. They take the dangerous road on purpose. They get killed in places like Afghanistan all the time. They believe that they have a right to go where they want and the locals will leave them alone or protect them because they are from a "civil" country. So they can return home and tell their friends over tea how they went through the barbaric area safely. I'm from a non colonial European country, no one from my country would dare think they had a right to use your police time like this.
@@rachelleroyert448 people from former colonial powers believe the risks don't apply to them and if they want to cross badlands they have a good given right to
Noraly, besides your riding skill you also have excellent “ people” skills and I am certain that with you being able to speak the language your able to get through a lot of difficult events. Your friendliness shines through and peaks a language of its own. Thanks for the great videos and good luck to Alaska.
@@rudolphparedes9856 I think.she speaks 4 languages...Dutch, English, Spanish, and some Portuguese. Creo que ella 4 idiomas...Holandés, Inglés, Español, y algo de Portugués.
Hats off to the police. They seemed to come out of nowhere, glad they took good care of you. Keep the uploads coming, we thoroughly enjoy them. Your No1 fan in South Africa.
As an old motorcyclist, I love following the trips in beautiful terrain and landscapes. I recommend watching all the episodes twice because it's done so quickly that you don't get all the details. I look forward to many episodes to come. Great storytelling, Noraly!
You are a smart traveler, to anticipate danger and avoid it, Noraly. Your energy and positivity brings out the best in everyone. The police didn't hesitate one second in helping you. I know you work hard behind the scene to share your adventures. THANK YOU!
The SMILE on that police officer's face at 14:18 was priceless Noraly. And yes, I think you certainly were the highlight of those officers day ! Just as you and your journey has become the highlight of my Monday, Wednesday & Fridays !! They will talk about you for years to come. Glad you are safe,,,, Please continue to stay safe !!!!
Police of other countries should be shown this as a good example. I can only imagine, how it would "usually" go in other places of the world: "Do you carry drugs or arms? Let me see your papers, ... yadda yadda" instead of being just a polite human being.
This channel is so addictive, l can't stop watching. Thanks for opening my eyes to a world l have never been to. Watching from Upper Holloway London UK
I am from Guatemala, living in Canada for the last 30 years, and about 5 years ago I took that same road and I was told the same thing about the "bandidos" so I did exactly what she did go to the police and I also got escorted, It was nice to have this to feel safe!, so, they do it for anybody as long as the ask for. And yes KUDOS for the police in that region!!
I don't see how this is a good ad for the area or the police. The police have known about bandits in this location for years and they're still there! No cameras put up in the area, or stake-outs to track them, catch them and stop them? 👀 They could fix and ashfalt the road but they don't. 👀 What the hell planet is this?
@@stop_and_smell_the_roses Every 4 years the new government dismantle the police and security system in order to "expense" money for new equipment that they never buy. Police officers try to do their best in such circumstances.
I just finished reading Aloha Wanderwell's auto biography. She was the 1st woman to drive around the world in the 1920's. She started when she was only 16, funding the trip by filming and then projecting her adventures in local theaters as she traveled. And here you are Noraly, 100 years later with the same spirit and drive... making history. Wind at your back!
2 episodes ago you said "I am drenched in sweat, but you don't want to know that." Well, actually, that is part of why your vids are so good. It is not some over-produced video, it is absolutely YOU in real time, as you see, as you feel. The more you share, the better these vids are. We are all living vicariously in you, and it is fantastic.
Well said! I got my motorcycle license when I was 16. Rode lots until I started a family. Now I'm 50 and the children are all grown and I'm getting Itchy boots to get back on the road. 😃 Meanwhile I'm riding vicariously while watching this lovely lady.
With so many awful things going on in the world today, your videos show us that the ordinary people of the world are mostly kind and helpful. Wishing you many more thousands of miles of bike riding.
Gracias a esos amables policías guatemaltecos que escoltaron a Noraly en ese peligroso tramo y además le ayudaron a subir esa cuesta difícil. Saludoos desde México hermanos guatemaltecos!
Asi es. IK HOU VAN NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱. Es tan bello y rico el Reino de Guatemala establecido desde 1609 y que se extiende desde El Soconusco (hoy Chiapas) hasta parte de Panama. Guatemala es 12avo productor de plata en el Mundo y 20mo productor de oro ademas de tener enormes reservas de niquel, jade y tantos otros recursos naturales desgraciadamente por casi un siglo grandes companias multinacionales anglosajonas extranjeras se han llevado gran parte de ello solo dejando una gran injusticia social que genera crimen y otros tantos problemas sociales. Viva Juan Santamaria el heroe e hijo predilecto de Alajuela CR quien murio batallando a los piratas anglosajones. Las Malvinas son de Argentina 🇦🇷, El Esequibo es de Venezuela 🇻🇪 y Belice pertenece a Guatemala 🇬🇹. Guatemala explotada y saboteada por casi un siglo pero nunca doblegada!!. Viva toda Latinoamerica Unida y Libre del piraterismo anglosajon de siglos. Viva el gran patriota Escoces William Wallace (Braveheart). El patriotismo mas grande es luchar por el suelo patrio sagrado. Dios los bendiga 🙏
Guatemala es tan bella, rica, unica y magica. Las Malvinas son de Argentina 🇦🇷 y Belice pertenece a Guatemala 🇬🇹. Belice es 100% territorio Guatemalteco por ley e historia. Dios los bendiga 🙏

Another great episode. I am actually surprised how serviceable these police are. Incredible. You getting your personal escort just wows me. And thank you so much for taking us with you!
I'm sure that others have said it below but I'll say it anyway - it's amazing that with the amount of positive energy that Noraly puts out in the world that people are, in return - nice, cooperative, helpful in any way they can be. It's beyond that she's a pretty face - it's her own friendliness and positivity that yields the same in return. We could all take a lesson from her and the world would be a better place. Be safe, Noraly!
Guatemalan ppl are very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed this episode, growing up in Peten many moons ago this is nice to watch. I have to say you are a brave soul, thanks for bringing us along on your journeys…cheers from Bitburg!
@@azucenagarcia8442 creci en Melchor de Mencos. De Joven iva a jugar a San Benito, Santa Elena. Jugue fut con el equipo de la Farmacia Calin. Lindos recuerdos, saludos.
Gotta say, the Police guys were like a personal Security system once they got the word about you coming! That was a smooth move to just go there and ask them... And the town and Scenery are stunning. Fun Episode. Thumbs UP😎👍
I don’t know how you do it! Every episode is a masterpiece. Glad there was a good police presence to help out through the precarious places and give you heads up. You did just fine riding. You would have got it done but nice the officer was skilled to help! Great video Noraly.
I’ve just finished watching your entire library, and I’m suddenly feeling the glow of joining you in real time adventure! What a delightful ride. Thanks much, and sending you positive vibes from the northern hemisphere!
Your interactions with the officer escorting you were priceless! Another example of your shining personality bringing out the best in people. There’s fun to be had even on dangerous roads. You said he’s a better rider but more weight/more traction and longer legs definitely help in tricky terrain.
Your UA-cam channel reminds us all that most people in the world are good. Its so easy to make generalizations when you haven’t been to a place yourself
Another great video. With all the negativity we see directed towards the police theses days, it was awesome that you shared such a wonderful experience with them. Thanks again for helping us see the world with you!
I am always glad to know that you are safe when you travel to any place. Whether it be Bandits, bad roads or idiot drivers. You may be fearless, but all of us motorcyclists know how dangerous it is to travel the way we do. And you Noraly do it in places most of us will never see.
You continue to be an inspiration to me to get out and adventure. I struggle with panic attacks and unrealistic anxiety. I have been slowly breaking out and fighting through the fear . I fail alot but after seeing what you have seen I refuse to go out like this . I won't go down afraid . Thank you from the heart
it sounds like you feel humbled but did you see the smile on his face? he had so much fun, it was probably the best thing that happened to him all day and you did that.
Ik kom uit Nederland, ik volg je avonturen elke dag op UA-cam. Eerlijk gezegd is het heel mooi. Je bent een geweldige en dappere vrouw die alle respect verdient
So funny to watch your face as the officer rides Alaska. She's your baby and you were watchful. I enjoyed that part. And also getting around in the towns....down small alleyways and steep narrow streets. Such fun to watch you and feel none of the fears that I might have felt in reality. You go girl!!!!
I have so much respect for you. You are a brave intelligent woman with a good heart. You treat the people you meet with so much respect and kindness. 🤗
And here I am sitting on my couch feeling guilty that I'm not living life...where did the time and enthusiasm for life go ... congratulations on your courage and sense of adventure. Stay safe and focused while riding.
I can't believe you also do all your editing. Amazing! One of the only UA-cam channels I am actually so into watching. You do an amazing job with narrating and showing parts of the world we would never see. Thank you.
Thanks for including us in all aspects of your journey. We all lose sight of the challenges solo travellers face along the road, because the editing sometimes makes things seem easygoing.
This is the most amazing thing I have stumbled across on UA-cam I am absolutely addicted to your adventure I love seeing all these backroads of South America that you would never see being a tourist I am so close to getting a bike like yours and seeing how far I can get from rhoad island down to Lima Peru thank you for sharing your awesome adventure
I think she does have fear. Admits it when riding up a steep volcanic rock road in a prior video. She is very self aware and faces her fear and learns from it no matter the outcome. Knows that she can psyche herself out if she lets her fear get the best of her. And sometimes fear saves our asses!
Tough road, for sure! I’m totally impressed with your police escorts. They were friendly, helpful, and profesional. Please don’t discount your riding skills. You have been around the world on some of the roughest roads there are. Wishing You Well

You are doing amazing, and I am so happy to see you do what you love! You put so much dedication into what you do that it inspires me every time I watch one of your stories. Although my hobby of motorcycling brought me here a long time ago, as a content creator, whenever I get discouraged or feel unmotivated, your videos remind me why I started creating content in the first place. Your absolute passion for what you do shows, and I wish that this is just the beginning for you, and want you to grow at least a 1000X.
She inspires me also to do two things I thought I will never dare in life - ride a motorcycle and travel to parts of world most wouldnt go to 😅 Maybe someday I will do both 😂
I’m really impressed by the service of police given to you Nolary the day I pass without watching your videos I think you’re such amazing woman with lots to give to the outside world.
Noraly survives another adventure that most of us can only dream about! You did the right thing asking for police escort, there are many helmet cam videos of armed assaults on that road, even of people travelling in pairs. Finding the road closed due to repairs shows you can never plan too far ahead. But thats what makes every day a challenge and a new adventure. Keep on riding Noraly!
Another solid episode .... Well I cannot remember an episode that I didnt absolutely love!! Cannot imagine what a feeling it would be to explore the world like this. Wishing Safe Travels to You!
We have a small house on a piece of property overlooking lake Aititlan, it is beautiful there! So impressed with how friendly and helpful the local Police were. There is nothing wrong with your riding skills, that road is a nightmare!!
For a second I thought she was going to run back & drive the Hilux. He was doing pretty good. Knobby tires would have helped (if they were available at the last tire change).
You truly are an amazing soul and a wonderful human. Thank you for sharing your smiles all around the world. I cant se, but can hear you smiling ear to ear and enjoying your life. Stay blessed and safe.
In the highlands of western Guatemala, safety is paramount. The indigenous communities do not tolerate crime; they sort of have their own laws to castigate people who break the law, community rules and just plain misbehave……!!! The Eastern side is different, there people take the law into their own hands and you’re dead…!!! But, behave, don’t be smart ass and you’ll be okay!!! Now, Méjico, that’s different story.
Danger is anywhere at anytime really. I live in Canada and in a family/ young professionals well off neighbourhood. My neighbor was coming out of our gated garage and waited for the gate to close behind her. Then out of nowhere a man appeared and tried opening her car door. Lucky it was locked but that was really scary for her so it’s not just 3rd world countries anymore.
I know, in Botswana she across a seemingly friendly van driver and he asked her if she was riding alone and then asked her is there anyone else with her following her in the back.
I have so much respect for you, for driving through the world, especially because you are alone and a woman, which makes it even more dangerous.. Stay safe and have fun!
This blondie just blew my mind!!! Not for just being a hot girl on the motorcycle, but with her perfect Espanol and very good and joyful attitude towards everything. I especially liked when she let the policeman ride her motorcycle, and that policeman is being like just a typical boy, smiling joyfully while riding.
Actually Noraly your tires are definitely not adequate for those sandy and rocky roads that you travel upon but your amazing determination somehow gets you through. 😊 Not to mention the steep terrain only makes it more difficult to pass. Your riding skills are amazing as are your instincts to find support when you need it. Noraly you are a supreme diplomat. Thank you for sharing your adventures with the world.
I doubt the police here in Germany would be _this_ helpful and friendly. (While that officer obviously had a ball with that little adventure as well!) And what a crazy cute little town! I know people who wouldn't fit through those passages, dammit! 🤣 Another absolutely lovely episode! 🤗😍
@@virtualnomad4845 Probably, yes. I have watched some videos that didn't exactly compliment some of the U.S. police. Luckily there's other bits of the states where its very different.
@@iansmith6086 They are not all unfriendly, don't get me wrong! But that extent of assistance as Noraly received there? -You'd probably ask in vain here.
@@iansmith6086 May be. Me, I was let down by them often enough. It's always what you see when you live in a place long enough, mate. Some of the German police are just utterly ace people and keen on not just doing their job, others will just complain about having had their sleep on duty disturbed. I've seen both.
What a cool ride and so nice to see the police so helpful and pleasant. He looked like he was having fun. You've helped change my impression of central america - it's lovely.
Amazing scenery along with a very cooperative police department! The officer was very helpful and obviously a local who probably grew up riding a motorcycle! Ride safe Noraly and thanks for another episode in your amazing adventure!
You may know that Spain ruled the area that today is the Netherlands for a couple hundred years. But when I visited the northern Netherlands, I heard no Spanish.
What a blast! Loved this episode. The whole encounter with the police and escort was just great. But man, Noraly, you take Alaska down tiny streets I’d never have the bravery for. Get relaxed, recharged, glad you’ve got an outdoor area. We’ll all be waiting for the next thrill! Or geology lesson. 😀
i don`t know if you still read this comment because the video is already 8 months old, but i am so impressed by your positiv personality! your glass is always half full, never half empty...and you take everything with a smile! stay the way you are Noraly and keep your enchanting nature.
Noraly!! I chuckled when you said “in my defence” 😂 You need not worry about defence!! I’ve been following your channel for a while …seeing all the difficult challenges you have tackled! … headon… , solo …(without police escort!!)… throw in a Dakar for good measure!! You are an inspiration for all adventurers. Keep up the great vids and look forward to your travels through 🇨🇦.
Noraly I’ve been following you for an awful long time now, your tenacity and bravery never ceases to amaze me. The people you meet are also incredible, what a fantastic police man he was. Stay safe.👍
I was in Guatemala in April. As a state police officer in the US, I was very impressed by the professionalism and their hospitality. (I also gave them a patch on the Belize/Guatemala border).
Noraly. Always enjoy watching when you meet very friendly local people , and even better when those people are the police. I think the policeman really did enjoy riding Alaska, and he obviously was experienced. So happy you got through the dangerous area without incident.👍. Thanks for sharing. Cheers and stay safe. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Love your humbleness and being real. Helps us all each day! Super smart to get assistance from police. Smart choice. Glad you made it to the next town. Love the narrow streets, colorful buildings, and seeing how people are so helpful. Keep smiling- you are awesome.
I’m addicted to your channel! Absolutely love where you ride, how you ride, and your interactions with people and places. You are the best in the world at what you do… May God bless you in your travels.
Noraly, the greatest joy in being on your blog, is you never owe us an explanation. I also think maybe his weight had something to do with it. I’m really happy that you had a police escort, and I applaud you for making it happen, and looking out for yourself. Thank you for all the editing that you do, it’s always a blast to be on an adventure with you.
Its very good that the police were able to be of assistance. The officer at the office was very helpful and honest. I hope your travels continue to be full of good interactions like this. Your police escort did a great job stepping in in the difficult road hill climb. That's pretty impressive stepping in on a bike that is unfamiliar. I'll call it multitasking because the bandits were kept away and getting to ride Alaska was a nice little thank you bonus for him. That town was sure has a lot of elevation change along with moto friendly allies. Its nice to hear the explanation of the difficulty on the difficult road section at the end of the video. I hope it was a good stay at the hotel. Its so interesting to be along for the travels.
@@ianfutcher1518 I think that's a good point. On top of the tires not being the best. The extra weight would help with some traction as well as just having better leverage. As she had said the tires that are installed were the only option at the time. I think it is quite exceptional of the officers to provide the extra service in order to ensure she was able to navigate the obstacle safely.
That was a fun video, thanks! I’m from Guatemala. 48 years ago, a friend and I rode the first motorcycle - a Yamaha 360 - around the lake (except for the last section, for which there was no trail, forcing us to put the bike on a canoe). The towns were so much smaller back then. The nice people and the beautiful lake have not changed, however.
Esa es mi gente latina ayudan a todos somos el 99% buenos les deseo lo mejor del mundo a ti y a toda mi gente generosa y mis respetos a la policía 👮♀️
Its great the level of care you put on each step, like checking with the local police... that must avoid many stress along the way! Great video and good luck on your journey!
Just the fact that they will escort you is already a very positive point for the country and and very admirable .those police men has done more for tourism than any advertisement could.
Very true.
They just don't want to scare White tourists off.
I am glad that they did it, violence in Guatemala is getting out of control, the country is becoming a little Mexico.

Not all of them are like that unfortunately. I’m glad the police officer did that. Gave me hope that there is change coming to all police officers in Guatemala.

My snappy salute to the Guatemalan Police! Keep up the good work sirs!
They gave the world a positive impression.
He clearly just wanted to take the Rally for a ride haha. Good guy though.
Late Atitlan sees a lot of foreign visitors, including backpackers and language students. They know they have to keep it somewhat safe (safer than a lot of Guatemala) to keep tourists coming and bringing money (fancy police cars are a clue). (Note: even the road out of San Marcos has banditos at time, normally going after walking tourists).
San Pedro is great, especially around Semana Santa time. A wonderful place to spend some time at a langauge school to learn Spanish and do a homestay.
San Marcos is much quieter with basically only one road through town.
The lake is a wonderful place to spend some time, though as everywhere it is facing environmental issues.
I must say those were some of the most professional and polite officers I have seen in a foreign documentary in a while. Thank you to them and I hope others take notes on how to treat folks.
Erg grappig. Groeten van Jakarta.
What a joy to see the world through the eyes of Itchy Boots. What most of us see as scary, threatening or nearly impossible, she sees as an opportunity to interact with the local residents and to challenge herself further in her great adventure. "To protect and serve" is the motto of many local police organizations. Obviously in this section of Guatemala it is "To protect, serve and ride!" whenever one gets the chance.
Richard, I fully agree with your comment, here.
@@gaminiediri me to, gracias!
To be fair people just need to be open minded. I think social media, always 'on' news etc (and remember bad news sells) along with many governments using 'divide and rule' and 'hostile environment' makes people scared and untrusting.
Humans just want to get along and have fun.
Bad areas still have good people.
Just be open, honest, still alert but treat people how you want to be treated. It works
In Guatemala a lot of police officers are devoted to help, hope you are enjoying your ride through this beautiful country, cheers!
@Ernest Sipes Yea there are shitty people who will do bad things to you sometimes. Does that mean you should live your life in fear in your house because you're scared of some practically non existent threat? Statistics shows that people you know are a thousand times more dangerous to you than strangers.
It’s amazing how kind and helpful people can be, no matter where you are.
People are friendly and helpful by nature. Wonderful to see. 💖💎💖
There is the REAL world: except the west part of the Planet,people are friendly, compassionate,helpful!!!
Lógico
Even more so if you speak their language. Try to imagine doing Itchy's adventures if you couldn't speak the native language.
...and don't think for a moment that blond & blue eyes doesn't help. I'm sure one of my sisters wouldn't be taken as good of care as noraly. There's a lot of hate in this world against anyone other than white.
Thank you to the Guatemalan police... both the policeman who called to coordinate and the policeman who escorted. Salute. I hope they get to read these praises to them to help boost their morale.
Is nice to see that there really nice cops out there! Guatemala Police officers are nicer than a lot of other places and they are 100% professionals! Well done officers!
Is like any other country, there are good police officers and bad ones, but the majority are good ones. Let's not put everyone in the same sack. The civil police now days are trained in human relations and are more professional as the requirements to become one are more strict. Enjoy the country and be safe and be aware of your surroundings like any other country. Crime happens anywhere, but Guatemala for the most part is safe.
WOW, the police were super nice. I am really impressed at their generous efforts to keep you safe. I especially liked the one who rode your moto for you and helped you in the dirt.
she's a woman / white / and is recording everything.
obviously they were going to be nice to her. Get a 50yo black casual dude, they won't be that attentive to him
You did the right thing by letting them escort you through.
@@BlancheNuit Someone should test that out undercover. You might be surprised.
@@websurfer5772 being a woman, blonde and cute helps anyway, but i m not saying they wouldn t be helpful to any other foreigner, even if it was a man. But being a blonde cute girl helps lol for sure
@@BlancheNuit Most people are generally nice, everywhere in the world.
What kind and helpful Police!
So heartwarming to see how they carefully escorted you through the difficult ride.
As a mom, I was a little worried for you, Noraly.
You're a careful and skillful rider.
Your command of the language is impressive!
Best wishes!
Kudos to the policeman for keeping our Noraly safe and sound.
Also the smile he made when he rode Alaska was so wholesome. Lucky man he is to be able to tame the mighty Alaska.
Noraly and Alaska gave him the best day of his month! So cute! 💖💎💖
"tame"??? It's 300cc. It's an appropriate size / weight for a smaller person but woefully underpowered for bad surfaces. Only way to "tame" it is to max it out. Timidity kills. The policeman just gave it big handfuls of throttle, nothing special or clever. Noraly needs to follow his example and rev A LOT harder and speed up generally. If it was a 650 with bags of low-rev torque then maybe she'd get away it and fall off less...but it would be too big n heavy to pick up. She chose it for its size (wisely I think) but the flip side is she has to compensate for low power low torque by REVVING IT HARDER!
@@philbowles3240 It's a fuel injected dual overhead cam, 4 valve engine, made for higher revs and you're right, she needs to use more throttle off-road instead of riding it so mellow. She switches out of 1st gear way to early. She always slows to a stop when she sees a hill or dirt and then just allows herself to fall over. I really hope she learned from the officer that Alaska has plenty of power if she would just use it.
I was thinking the same. Lots of revs and off she goes.
@@philbowles3240 Great observation. You said what I was thinking
It’s really awesome how you put the time and effort into getting out 3 videos a week, for months on end and always at the same time. Thank you so much Noraly! Have a great weekend. 👍
You made the day for that police officer. I'm guatemalan, and if I had found your channel sooner, I would have told you not to take that road because IT IS dangerous. I'm glad the police escorted you, and all went well. Pleas keep safe ❤️
She's from a colonial country, they always do things like this. They take the dangerous road on purpose. They get killed in places like Afghanistan all the time. They believe that they have a right to go where they want and the locals will leave them alone or protect them because they are from a "civil" country. So they can return home and tell their friends over tea how they went through the barbaric area safely. I'm from a non colonial European country, no one from my country would dare think they had a right to use your police time like this.
@@geroutathat i thinks they know the risks
@@rachelleroyert448 people from former colonial powers believe the risks don't apply to them and if they want to cross badlands they have a good given right to
@@geroutathat Absolutely right.
@@geroutathat Where might one purchase such a broad brush like the one you use for your painting?
Noraly, besides your riding skill you also have excellent “ people” skills and I am certain that with you being able to speak the language your able to get through a lot of difficult events. Your friendliness shines through and peaks a language of its own. Thanks for the great videos and good luck to Alaska.
How many languages the lady speaks??????
@@rudolphparedes9856 I think.she speaks 4 languages...Dutch, English, Spanish, and some Portuguese. Creo que ella 4 idiomas...Holandés, Inglés, Español, y algo de Portugués.
And being Dutch she probably speaks a bit of German and French too!
Hats off to the police. They seemed to come out of nowhere, glad they took good care of you. Keep the uploads coming, we thoroughly enjoy them. Your No1 fan in South Africa.
As an old motorcyclist, I love following the trips in beautiful terrain and landscapes. I recommend watching all the episodes twice because it's done so quickly that you don't get all the details. I look forward to many episodes to come. Great storytelling, Noraly!
You are a smart traveler, to anticipate danger and avoid it, Noraly. Your energy and positivity brings out the best in everyone. The police didn't hesitate one second in helping you. I know you work hard behind the scene to share your adventures. THANK YOU!
The SMILE on that police officer's face at 14:18 was priceless Noraly. And yes, I think you certainly were the highlight of those officers day ! Just as you and your journey has become the highlight of my Monday, Wednesday & Fridays !! They will talk about you for years to come. Glad you are safe,,,, Please continue to stay safe !!!!
Theyre so happy to help. It's universal among good people
@@paddington1670 I agree, true gentlemen always help a lady in distress. Chivalry exists even in countries where men are machismo it seems.
Police of other countries should be shown this as a good example. I can only imagine, how it would "usually" go in other places of the world: "Do you carry drugs or arms? Let me see your papers, ... yadda yadda" instead of being just a polite human being.
Not everyday that a pretty gringa zooms by Honduras in a motorcycle 😎
This channel is so addictive, l can't stop watching. Thanks for opening my eyes to a world l have never been to.
Watching from Upper Holloway London UK
I've barely slept since I found her channel 3 days ago!!!!
I am from Guatemala, living in Canada for the last 30 years, and about 5 years ago I took that same road and I was told the same thing about the "bandidos" so I did exactly what she did go to the police and I also got escorted, It was nice to have this to feel safe!, so, they do it for anybody as long as the ask for. And yes KUDOS for the police in that region!!

Its so cool to see you having a laugh and getting on with the Police. They were really helpful too. A great ad for their country, as you are :)
I don't see how this is a good ad for the area or the police. The police have known about bandits in this location for years and they're still there! No cameras put up in the area, or stake-outs to track them, catch them and stop them? 👀
They could fix and ashfalt the road but they don't.
👀 What the hell planet is this?
@@stop_and_smell_the_roses Every 4 years the new government dismantle the police and security system in order to "expense" money for new equipment that they never buy.
Police officers try to do their best in such circumstances.
Very friendly officer, God bless him
I just finished reading Aloha Wanderwell's auto biography. She was the 1st woman to drive around the world in the 1920's. She started when she was only 16, funding the trip by filming and then projecting her adventures in local theaters as she traveled. And here you are Noraly, 100 years later with the same spirit and drive... making history. Wind at your back!
Amazing comparison! Never heard about that woman but now I am very curious.
2 episodes ago you said "I am drenched in sweat, but you don't want to know that." Well, actually, that is part of why your vids are so good. It is not some over-produced video, it is absolutely YOU in real time, as you see, as you feel. The more you share, the better these vids are. We are all living vicariously in you, and it is fantastic.
100 percent agree. Pure Genuine life. Not the tiktok fake news let's please the advertising gods garbage
Awebo pibe
Very well said Sir.
Well said! I got my motorcycle license when I was 16. Rode lots until I started a family. Now I'm 50 and the children are all grown and I'm getting Itchy boots to get back on the road. 😃 Meanwhile I'm riding vicariously while watching this lovely lady.
Could not agree more! 👍
With so many awful things going on in the world today, your videos show us that the ordinary people of the world are mostly kind and helpful. Wishing you many more thousands of miles of bike riding.
Gracias a esos amables policías guatemaltecos que escoltaron a Noraly en ese peligroso tramo y además le ayudaron a subir esa cuesta difícil. Saludoos desde México hermanos guatemaltecos!
Gran representación de la corporación policial de Guatemala, congratulations Guatemalan Police!!! Well done, buen trabajo muchachos.
Asi es. IK HOU VAN NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱. Es tan bello y rico el Reino de Guatemala establecido desde 1609 y que se extiende desde El Soconusco (hoy Chiapas) hasta parte de Panama. Guatemala es 12avo productor de plata en el Mundo y 20mo productor de oro ademas de tener enormes reservas de niquel, jade y tantos otros recursos naturales desgraciadamente por casi un siglo grandes companias multinacionales anglosajonas extranjeras se han llevado gran parte de ello solo dejando una gran injusticia social que genera crimen y otros tantos problemas sociales. Viva Juan Santamaria el heroe e hijo predilecto de Alajuela CR quien murio batallando a los piratas anglosajones.

El patriotismo mas grande es luchar por el suelo patrio sagrado. Dios los bendiga 🙏

So inspiring to watch, I'm an old man, watching her experiencing adventures brings back memories of my world travels. Thank you so much for sharing
Another great episode. I am actually surprised how serviceable these police are. Incredible. You getting your personal escort just wows me. And thank you so much for taking us with you!
She's amazing to watch, isn't she? I'm new to her channel, but already a fan. Hi from NY :)
@@dreemitonsteemit7064 Yes, agree. Greetings from Munich, Germany!
I'm sure that others have said it below but I'll say it anyway - it's amazing that with the amount of positive energy that Noraly puts out in the world that people are, in return - nice, cooperative, helpful in any way they can be. It's beyond that she's a pretty face - it's her own friendliness and positivity that yields the same in return. We could all take a lesson from her and the world would be a better place. Be safe, Noraly!
Very true but evil doesn’t care about any of that. She’s been really lucky but sometimes that luck runs out.
Guatemalan ppl are very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed this episode, growing up in Peten many moons ago this is nice to watch. I have to say you are a brave soul, thanks for bringing us along on your journeys…cheers from Bitburg!

Gotta say, the Police guys were like a personal Security system once they got the word about you coming! That was a smooth move to just go there and ask them... And the town and Scenery are stunning. Fun Episode. Thumbs UP😎👍

I've got a lung infection and I'm laying in the hospital right now. You channel ist better then any netflix or anything else! Love your tours. Cheers.
I don’t know how you do it! Every episode is a masterpiece. Glad there was a good police presence to help out through the precarious places and give you heads up. You did just fine riding. You would have got it done but nice the officer was skilled to help! Great video Noraly.
I’ve just finished watching your entire library, and I’m suddenly feeling the glow of joining you in real time adventure! What a delightful ride. Thanks much, and sending you positive vibes from the northern hemisphere!
Outstanding law enforcement officers in Guatemala. Professional. Wonderful!
I think those police officers were looking out for you in more ways then we realize. VERY IMPRESSED by their professionalism! 👍
Your interactions with the officer escorting you were priceless! Another example of your shining personality bringing out the best in people. There’s fun to be had even on dangerous roads. You said he’s a better rider but more weight/more traction and longer legs definitely help in tricky terrain.
And he’s a better rider also 😁
@pepegrillo141 😂😂
So with more weight and longer legs, I guess you could say makes him a better rider?
Your UA-cam channel reminds us all that most people in the world are good. Its so easy to make generalizations when you haven’t been to a place yourself
There is no boredom in any of your episodes. You are like a positive magnet for positive things!
Another great video. With all the negativity we see directed towards the police theses days, it was awesome that you shared such a wonderful experience with them. Thanks again for helping us see the world with you!
By and large Guatemalans are some.of the best people around. I have lived there for years and everyone is always helpful and friendly.
I am always glad to know that you are safe when you travel to any place. Whether it be Bandits, bad roads or idiot drivers. You may be fearless, but all of us motorcyclists know how dangerous it is to travel the way we do. And you Noraly do it in places most of us will never see.
Your personality is contagious for goodness. You seem to bring out the best of all you meet. Another wonderful video! 🏆 Keep wearing your angel wings.
please do not take too much risk with your travels. you're really entertaining the whole world with your exploration! stay healthy and take care.
You continue to be an inspiration to me to get out and adventure. I struggle with panic attacks and unrealistic anxiety. I have been slowly breaking out and fighting through the fear .

it sounds like you feel humbled
but did you see the smile on his face? he had so much fun, it was probably the best thing that happened to him all day and you did that.

So funny to watch your face as the officer rides Alaska. She's your baby and you were watchful. I enjoyed that part. And also getting around in the towns....down small alleyways and steep narrow streets. Such fun to watch you and feel none of the fears that I might have felt in reality. You go girl!!!!
I have so much respect for you. You are a brave intelligent woman with a good heart. You treat the people you meet with so much respect and kindness. 🤗
And here I am sitting on my couch feeling guilty that I'm not living life...where did the time and enthusiasm for life go ... congratulations on your courage and sense of adventure. Stay safe and focused while riding.

This is the most amazing thing I have stumbled across on UA-cam I am absolutely addicted to your adventure I love seeing all these backroads of South America that you would never see being a tourist I am so close to getting a bike like yours and seeing how far I can get from rhoad island down to Lima Peru thank you for sharing your awesome adventure

Que mujer más increíble. Viaja sin miedo. Y vive la vida. Es increíble. La admiró 😍

I think she does have fear. Admits it when riding up a steep volcanic rock road in a prior video. She is very self aware and faces her fear and learns from it no matter the outcome. Knows that she can psyche herself out if she lets her fear get the best of her. And sometimes fear saves our asses!
Tough road, for sure!
I’m totally impressed with your police escorts.
They were friendly, helpful, and profesional.
Please don’t discount your riding skills.
You have been around the world on some of the roughest roads there are.
Wishing You Well

You are doing amazing, and I am so happy to see you do what you love! You put so much dedication into what you do that it inspires me every time I watch one of your stories. Although my hobby of motorcycling brought me here a long time ago, as a content creator, whenever I get discouraged or feel unmotivated, your videos remind me why I started creating content in the first place. Your absolute passion for what you do shows, and I wish that this is just the beginning for you, and want you to grow at least a 1000X.
She inspires me also to do two things I thought I will never dare in life - ride a motorcycle and travel to parts of world most wouldnt go to 😅 Maybe someday I will do both 😂
I’m really impressed by the service of police given to you Nolary the day I pass without watching your videos I think you’re such amazing woman with lots to give to the outside world.
Noraly survives another adventure that most of us can only dream about! You did the right thing asking for police escort, there are many helmet cam videos of armed assaults on that road, even of people travelling in pairs. Finding the road closed due to repairs shows you can never plan too far ahead. But thats what makes every day a challenge and a new adventure. Keep on riding Noraly!
Another solid episode .... Well I cannot remember an episode that I didnt absolutely love!!
Cannot imagine what a feeling it would be to explore the world like this. Wishing Safe Travels to You!
We have a small house on a piece of property overlooking lake Aititlan, it is beautiful there! So impressed with how friendly and helpful the local Police were. There is nothing wrong with your riding skills, that road is a nightmare!!
Norali's power of being nice: not only she gets 2 police escorts but gets the police to drive her bike.
😃👍

In the highlands of western Guatemala, safety is paramount.
The indigenous communities do not tolerate crime; they sort of have their own laws to castigate people who break the law, community rules and just plain misbehave……!!! The Eastern side is different, there people take the law into their own hands and you’re dead…!!! But, behave, don’t be smart ass and you’ll be okay!!!
Now, Méjico, that’s different story.
Danger is anywhere at anytime really. I live in Canada and in a family/ young professionals well off neighbourhood. My neighbor was coming out of our gated garage and waited for the gate to close behind her. Then out of nowhere a man appeared and tried opening her car door. Lucky it was locked but that was really scary for her so it’s not just 3rd world countries anymore.
I know, in Botswana she across a seemingly friendly van driver and he asked her if she was riding alone and then asked her is there anyone else with her following her in the back.
@@CuriousCat777 Where-what city? Out of nowhere-good neighbourhood, gated garage...
I have so much respect for you, for driving through the world, especially because you are alone and a woman, which makes it even more dangerous..
Stay safe and have fun!
But......blue eyes, blond and very intelligent make a lot of difference. When the video ended I saw I was at home with a tablet in the hands.
This blondie just blew my mind!!! Not for just being a hot girl on the motorcycle, but with her perfect Espanol and very good and joyful attitude towards everything. I especially liked when she let the policeman ride her motorcycle, and that policeman is being like just a typical boy, smiling joyfully while riding.
Actually Noraly your tires are definitely not adequate for those sandy and rocky roads that you travel upon but your amazing determination somehow gets you through. 😊 Not to mention the steep terrain only makes it more difficult to pass. Your riding skills are amazing as are your instincts to find support when you need it. Noraly you are a supreme diplomat. Thank you for sharing your adventures with the world.
What a lovely police officer to ride the bike over the bad part. He is very determined and therefore a good rider on the bad surface.
Im from Lebanon, middle east, what a beautiful journey you take your audience to, great work and thank you.
I doubt the police here in Germany would be _this_ helpful and friendly. (While that officer obviously had a ball with that little adventure as well!)
And what a crazy cute little town! I know people who wouldn't fit through those passages, dammit! 🤣

I was in Guatemala in April. As a state police officer in the US, I was very impressed by the professionalism and their hospitality. (I also gave them a patch on the Belize/Guatemala border).
Noraly. Always enjoy watching when you meet very friendly local people , and even better when those people are the police. I think the policeman really did enjoy riding Alaska, and he obviously was experienced. So happy you got through the dangerous area without incident.👍. Thanks for sharing. Cheers and stay safe.

Love your humbleness and being real. Helps us all each day! Super smart to get assistance from police. Smart choice. Glad you made it to the next town. Love the narrow streets, colorful buildings, and seeing how people are so helpful. Keep smiling- you are awesome.
Guatemala is really beautiful. I’m watching in 2023, and thank you as always for posting this Noraly. 👏👏👍👍
I’m addicted to your channel!
Absolutely love where you ride, how you ride, and your interactions with people and places. You are the best in the world at what you do…
May God bless you in your travels.
Noraly, the greatest joy in being on your blog, is you never owe us an explanation. I also think maybe his weight had something to do with it. I’m really happy that you had a police escort, and I applaud you for making it happen, and looking out for yourself. Thank you for all the editing that you do, it’s always a blast to be on an adventure with you.
Viva Guate! ❤ We are very happy to see that you visited our country. There's a lot of adventure to have and a lot to see.
Its very good that the police were able to be of assistance. The officer at the office was very helpful and honest. I hope your travels continue to be full of good interactions like this. Your police escort did a great job stepping in in the difficult road hill climb. That's pretty impressive stepping in on a bike that is unfamiliar. I'll call it multitasking because the bandits were kept away and getting to ride Alaska was a nice little thank you bonus for him. That town was sure has a lot of elevation change along with moto friendly allies. Its nice to hear the explanation of the difficulty on the difficult road section at the end of the video. I hope it was a good stay at the hotel. Its so interesting to be along for the travels.
I think the police man had an advantage of extra weight to give him more traction.
@@ianfutcher1518 I think that's a good point. On top of the tires not being the best. The extra weight would help with some traction as well as just having better leverage. As she had said the tires that are installed were the only option at the time. I think it is quite exceptional of the officers to provide the extra service in order to ensure she was able to navigate the obstacle safely.
That was a fun video, thanks! I’m from Guatemala. 48 years ago, a friend and I rode the first motorcycle - a Yamaha 360 - around the lake (except for the last section, for which there was no trail, forcing us to put the bike on a canoe). The towns were so much smaller back then. The nice people and the beautiful lake have not changed, however.
Esa es mi gente latina ayudan a todos somos el 99% buenos les deseo lo mejor del mundo a ti y a toda mi gente generosa y mis respetos a la policía 👮♀️
Its great the level of care you put on each step, like checking with the local police... that must avoid many stress along the way! Great video and good luck on your journey!
