Please watch the full video before commenting on what went wrong 😂 To already answer some suggestions.. yes I tried rocking the bike to get the gear to change but in deep sand it did not move an inch 😢 I pulled in the clutch while trying to start the bike, as it was in gear and my bike will normally always start in gear when the clutch is pulled. Except for this time.. 🙃 If my bike would always only start in neutral, I would have moved heaven and earth to get it in neutral. But because my bike normally also starts in gear, this wasn’t the only thing I was thinking of 🙌 seeing it work out in the end makes everything perhaps look simple and obvious but for me, standing there in the sand next to a bike that didn’t start for the first time in 50.000 kilometers, things did not look very simple and obvious at all 😂
Don’t worry Noraly …….. the main thing is you got it going again. I would have been totally scared if it happened to me in the middle of a desert. You did amazing to keep your cool after getting thrown off the bike. Pay no attention to the Monday morning quarter backs. I wonder what the temp is like during the day when you are riding…….. if it is over 30 it must be exhausting with the helmet overheating. I know I find it tough when it is that hot and you are exerting yourself. Stay safe and thank you for the wonderful videos as always. Love you girl
We Mauritanians 🇲🇷🇲🇷are all Ahmeds, hospitality and helping foreigners is in our blood. the culture of mutual aid comes from the desert where unity is a strength
What a star Ahmed was . I have good friends that would be reluctant to drive 5 hours on paved roads to help me out, and he did it for a stranger , a super star of the desert. And they treated you so well. North African hospitality is shining out to the world. Glad your safe Noraly.
I think in this region, where a person left alone in the desert is doomed to death, altruism and mutual assistance are natural behavior for the local population, otherwise it is impossible to survive in this world of death.
Ahmed, you are a true hero! Thank you for showing the world the real meaning of Arab and Muslim hospitality. Your kindness and generosity to Itchy Boots in the desert is an inspiration to us all.
Mauritania is in north Africa not mild East that means they are not Arabs but africans just like the rest of north Africa speaking some race language doesn't mean ur one of them. for example me speaking English right now doesn't mean am British just as simple as that...
The kindness of people in places all over the world is mind blowing. We rarely hear of the good in the world since the media thrives on the bad. It’s people like you and a few others that brings the good into our homes. Thank you for showing the kindness of the world. Safe travels
It never ceases to amaze me that even in times of distress not only that you keep your cool but you manage to get a whole town involved in helping you plus a man that you met for just a short time to drive for over 5 hours to come and give you a hand. That is a testament of the kind of person you are and the respect and kindness you show to others. And kudos to the people of the town and the gentleman who helped you for being so willing to help a stranger.

Noraly is also highly thoughtful and ethical. After her bike started, she could have taken off or gotten the ride to the next town by the mayor. But Ahmed drove 6 hours to help, and she respectfully waited for him.
@Screams+Kilos were you there? How do you know for sure? I believe Noraly did. She edits the videos and would not add that in. You sound a bit cynical as a person, maybe? There are good people everywhere you know. Noraly's videos prove that to us time and again.
I’ve been learning through this channel just how incredibly kind people are all over the world 🌍. Itchy Boots you’re a legend for showing the peoples true hospitality anywhere you travel. 👍🏼
The overriding impression I get when watching your videos Noraly whether in South America, Central, North America and now Africa is that there are a lot of good and kind people in the world. With all the bad news in the world it is great to see this. Thank you for sharing!
*Ahmed if you are reading this. Thank you so much for traveling such a long way to come and help our Ms Noraly.... plus even escorting her thru the desert area... You are a very good man. Ms Noraly, bikes have two sensors... Clutch lever & sidestand & with the crash you most likely knocked one of them off centre.. and with the pushing and shoving from you or the helpers, it probably got pushed back into the right position again. But at the end of the day Miss Alaska is up and running again. Continue to ride safe.*

The people of Mauritania are fabulous and friendly and so willing to go that extra mile to help you in the middle of the desert. The world is filled with so many good people. A very nail biting episode 😬
First, you must be brave enough to take on this sort of Adventure on your own. And second, I am just in awe of the good in humans you show through these videos. This trip has been nothing short of spectacular, not only for the adventures and fantastic landscape but also for highlighting the good side of humanity. Kudos to you, Noraly, for bringing this to us.
There's a lesson here. No matter where you go in the world, there are good people who are willing to help their fellow man. Of course, there are horrible people who will do you harm but generally, people are good throughout the world. Norally is brave and her friendly and polite demeanor helps her wherever she goes, regardless of the situation.
If you want to suffer, enter Mauritania through the Moroccan border, and you will know the meaning of the suffering you will suffer in Mauritania... I do not speak out of thin air because I visited Mauritania through the Guerguerat border, I have gone through terrible things in Mauritania, and also many people go to Mauritania. People here see you in dollars or euros
Charles , I couldn`t have said it better myself. The other thing I noticed was how when she made it to the next village, the children just flock to her like a celebrity. This is not the first time I have seen this on her travels.
This was not my experience with the American locals unfortunately when I visited the USA. Got robbed in broad daylight and received no help whatsoever. I will never visit that place again.
One of the most amazing episodes so far. Even in a situation like this - in the middle of nowhere in the desert - Noraly keeps calm and always finds a solution. Big respect! Also incredible that everybody tries to help when someone has a problem. They look after it as if it was their problem. The people of Mauritania are amazing.
I nearly had tears in my eyes! This episode showed so much about humanity, kindness and friendship. It's a lighthouse in these dark times! Bedankt, Noraly!
Prior to Noraly's trip, I had no knowledge of Mauritania. However, I was deeply moved by the warmth and sincerity of its people, as well as their dedication to helping others. I would like to extend my greetings from Iran to the people of Mauritania and wish them all the best.
It's been that way, in every country including the USA she has visited. She avoids the urban areas, rides the back road where people in small towns and in the county always show her great great hospitality expecting nothing in return.
There are 1,630,000 of us breathing a sigh of relief! Ahmed, you and the Mauritanian people that helped Noraly are forever in our debt. Thank you! Safe travels Itchy Boots!!!!
That was an awesome episode noraly. To find out that the bike just needed to be moved...which obviously you couldn't do on your own, deep sand etc, the relief on your face was apparent. And then for a guy that you'd only just met, saved his number, asked if he could help you and then he drives 4+hrs to potentially rescue you is one of the kindest acts iv ever seen.....What an adventure..
FOR NEXT TIME: No use to push/rock the bike back and forth in sand this deep (as you already mentioned Noraly). Instead, lay it on its right side, spin the rear wheel with your hand and find that neutral. But what an adventure that was, eh? :)
That's what I was going to suggest. I've seen people "push start" motorcycles that way as well. It's a shame that the manufacturers, on a bike that is intended for adventure riding, no longer put kick starters on them. A kick starter may be a literal life saver.
@@tpelle2 Not many people actually use adventure bikes for adventure, removing saves weight and things like side-stand and "in gear" switches are there to protect the stupid and the inevitable litigation when stupid decides to turn left or not confirm neutral/disengage the clutch on start up. Not disagreeing for Noraly's use case though.
I'm not a fan of laying a bike over on purpose, seems like one problem leads to another. Often times just grabbing the rear wheel and tugging in both directions is enough. More leverage than pushing the whole bike. Or putting the side stand down and leaning the bike out of the hole while tugging the rear wheel. If the side stand sinks in, lay something under it, take your boot off if nothing else. I didn't notice if she tried pulling in the clutch to start. That, at least, used to be an option to start while in gear.
You are opening eyes and minds. So many places you’ve been that we’ve been told are dangerous, because of the environment or the “people”, yet everywhere you’ve been have encountered wonderful, caring people. Thank You! 🙏🏼
It never ceases to amaze me that the people on this earth with the least wealth are the most welcoming and kindest, whereas the wealthiest very seldom are. Thank you Noraly for sharing your experiences once again. 😘
A situation that looked like a problem but turned into a serendipitous event illustrating the basic humanity and caring that is expressed by so many around the world. 🇨🇦
Wow, Noraly - you are constantly surrounded by incredibly protective angels. Your journey restores one's faith in the kindness and generosity of humanity. 💜 Thank you Ahmed and everyone who helped you. What a privilege to ride those beautiful expansive Sahara dunes, especially with a lighter bike! Looked absolutely magical.
@@Agent_Starling Thank you for you service to our GREAT nation. I was named after a Marine who was KIA on the Bataan Peninsula April 1942, and have had the deepest RESPECT for the Marines all my life. 👍
Having just worked in Mauritania for the last 6 months on and off, I have nothing but praise for all who I meet. What you experienced brings my faith back in humanity. Safe travels
Love this video. Good to see you have a bivi bag, emergency beacon etc. I'd wondered. I've sailed oceans on small boats and deserts are similar. Nobody there to help if you have a problem. People there are lovely. They have nothing but they are so generous.
Seeing this just restores your faith in humanity, Ahmed travels 6 hours to help a complete stranger that he met once by chance! What a hero and the others were a credit to Mauritania also👍A lot to be said for kick starters but all's well that ends well, glad you got Alaska up and running Noraly👍
Before this season of your channel, I knew nothing about the land and the people of Morocco and Mauritania, just the basic textbook fact that they exist. I have followed your episodes since the beginning of your journey in South America, all the way to the north shore of Alaska. But the people of Morocco and Mauritania have caused me to rejoice. Their basic kindness, goodness, and generosity seems unmatched anywhere else in the world. My heart goes out to them.
Go back to season ! and see how she developed over time. Great journey to follow. I have rewatched from the very beginning for the third time now. You always see things you missed the first time,.
It warms my hart to hear this kind of words. Makes me proud as an maroccan. who is born in the Netherlands. If you have the opportunity some day. go and see with your own eyes. Bless you Sir
Same here, before this season i didn't know anything about the people of Morocco or Mauritania. Now i know they're some of the best folks on planet earth.
Oh, God! What a huge relief to see that you got help and don't have to walk a long distance. Thank God you have your guardian angel working full time as much as you.🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏.
TIP: you are most likely right about getting it out of the gear. Next time, sit on the bike, try to "push" it back and forth while pressing the gear lever to go neutral. Sometimes, if there is tension on the gearbox, it doesn't come out of the gear until you release the tension.
Isn't it amazing that the people you meet on your travels in the countries you visit are friendly, interested in where you are from and where you are going,offer you hospitality no matter how little they have and ask for nothing in return apart from your friendship. The leaders of the world could learn so much from them. 👌
Its crazy how the media can really brainwash and manipulate peoples perceptions of people of nations. Noraly's videos is would open a lot of peoples minds that only see what the media shows
You have proven through your travels, how many wonderful people there are around the world! Everyone should watch your adventures because you show there’s is hope for world peace!
Thanks to these good Mauritanian gentlemen for bailing our Noraly from being left alone in the desert. The power of the internet also helped because she already was known worldwide. Her interaction with the people is admirable. Drive safe always Noraly ❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭
Watched the entire video before commenting. 1. Thank goodness you survived being launched off your bike without serious injury. That is #1 the most important thing. 2. Thank goodness you were prepared for extreme conditions. (Of course, having followed your travels for years now, we know you are safe and prepared.) 3. Thank goodness you were so close to help! 4. Once again, you show us that individual humans are basically good, everywhere on the planet. It gives me some hope for our beleaguered species. Continued safe travels!
For this small period of time, Noraly was the most important visitor to Mauritania and the attention and kindness by the locals who chose to be their county's ambassadors. It was a simple shout out to the rest of the world. These people have become one more thread of humanity and generosity in the chain of people who are part of one wonderful journey throughout the world. Brava Noraly and rubberside down.
You'll never see this on the news or in hollywood, thanks too real people showing realities from the ground , All the best. Thank you Ahmad May God bless you
One lesson I have learnt from your tour is CORAGIOUS. If you can conquer FEAR, yo can achieve your set GOALS. Yes, you CAN. Thanks Noraly, you are just an epitome of success. ❤
Even while riding by yourself, you are never truly alone. Thanks to all the people that were concerned and came to help. It was interesting to see you talking with the little lads. Meeting you made quite an impression on them. They will never forget the first time they got to rev the throttle on a motorbike. Alaska helps make friends too!
One of my favorite episodes this season! I love it when you interact with the local people and those two little boys were so full of wonder. Your new friend is amazing, what a blessing to have him escort you safely to the next town. It’s always good to have a plan A B C D and even a plan E in case of a real emergency. Off to the next adventure! Can’t wait to see where you end up on Wednesday…😊❤🎉 Safe travels Noraly…💕
Noraly - As a fellow solo adventurer, I have been so inspired by your determination and courage to go it alone. But I find the most joy in your adventures when they involve another's help, hospitality, and company! There is a unique joy to be had when you travel on your own. But shared joy is doubled joy. And I can feel that on this side of my computer screen!
The solution to your problem was......THE GOOD PEOPLE ON PLANET EARTH! Thank you for sharing your adventure and for find good people in the middle of the exspansive desert! Itchy Boots Rocks!❤❤❤
Watching your channel is so inspiring. The kindness of people is actually surprising. You're becoming an ambassador to the world Noraly. Very exciting, and touching at the same time. Thank you for bringing us hope. Peace
Every where you go you bring out the best of humanity. The issues you have are part of YOUR journey through life. The way you interact with others is amazing! Everyone warms up to you instantly and provides the support and encouragement you need at that time. To me, it is during these times that I learn, through you, that having the right approach, right attitude and respect for others, that you show us, that people of the world can be nice and helpful, no matter what their situation is. To me, you are an Ambassador of the World and show us through your journeys, that there is hope for all of us in this crazy world. Safe trails, keep the rubber on the road, or sand!
As I sit in my comfortable home in Florida, I am blown away by the people who have adapted to life in the desert. Thank you for showing us a different world....again.....Noraly!
@@mrfollan1332 you are from morocco and you dont know crocodiles were living in morocco till the late 70s. I mean real crocodiles not lazy friendly aligators
In all my travels around the world I found that most people are good people and will go well out of their way to help someone in need. What a lovely guy Ahmad is!
Seriously? In my travels through life I"ve encountered quite the opposite. My twin tried to show a hitchhiker good will and a ride, it earned him being robbed and murdered.
True, many people in the world are very human and nice filled with Gods love. The problem is politicians and extremists who spread hate, lust and a lot of propaganda. Go anywhere in the world and you will be surprised that what most media is telling us is totally false. Shockingly because of ignorance we just belief!
It goes to show that the world is full of friendly, hospitable, kind people for the most part. You are an inspiration to all. Love your channel. Stay safe.
This is turning out to be quite the adventure from scary mishaps that leave you stranded in the desert, to the heroes who come to your rescue. The people are just wonderful. You leave us always wanting more.
Another angel riding on your shoulder Noraly, this time in the form of Ahmed of Mauritania. What a wonderful example of human kindness and generosity of spirit. So inspiring. Thank you Noraly and Ahmed!
Ahmed seems like a representation of the many good and decent people you met in you're amazing journeys. The world is filled with decent people like Ahmed, thanks for proving it! Cheers 🍻
I don't care how many stunning sets we see, gorgeous gorges, amazing rock formations, clear blue lakes, none of it stirs me as much as meeting people like Ahmed. You've met quite a few Noraly and for me those are the real 'lump in the throat' moments. Thank you for sharing.

Merci vraiment pour votre commentaire nous aussi somme fier d’être voisin d'un peuple aussi célébré aussi accueillant d'une civilisation merveilleuse que nous partageons la même religion , salut à vous depuis la Mauritanie
If jammed in gear and on deep sand you could rest bike on its right side and then ‘hand rock’ the rear wheel to take pressure of the gear train and then hopefully you can move the shift lever into Neutral. That’s my initial thoughts, but of course when you have just fallen off your bike the assumption is that you have broken something! Thanks for all the great videos, you are an inspiring person and we are so lucky to be able to share in your journeys.
I don't understand the Language ... I don't know what this comment means ... BUT ... It's got to be a "Good Comment".. I'm just a "Bluenoser".. 👍 Have a Great Day..
It would be nice to think that good people just attract good people, but that is too simple. But a huge thank you to Ahmed and the people of Mauritani who helped out a person in need. So wonderful...and a great advert for their country!!! And Noraly, so good at keeping her cool in a tough situation. Great example for us all!!
Such incredible people! I can’t believe how everyone seems to be so giving and willing to help even strangers! Kind of emotional to see the nice man helping you and driving so far to do so. You were definitely blessed! ;)

One of the most amazing episodes so far. Even in a situation like this - in the middle of nowhere in the desert - Noraly keeps calm and always finds a solution. Big respect! Also incredible that everybody tries to help when someone has a problem. They look after it as if it was their problem. The people of Mauritania are amazing.
Thank you for visiting my country which very few know anything about. Welcome to Mauritania ❤
❤👍
I am super awed at such amazing skill to navigate through unmarked desert. I will be glad to know. I celebrate all mauritaniens
Ahmed, another legend in your life! Again you show us how good people can be!
I nearly had tears in my eyes! This episode showed so much about humanity, kindness and friendship. It's a lighthouse in these dark times! Bedankt, Noraly!
perfectly put Uwe - she's 'a lighthouse'!
Prior to Noraly's trip, I had no knowledge of Mauritania. However, I was deeply moved by the warmth and sincerity of its people, as well as their dedication to helping others. I would like to extend my greetings from Iran to the people of Mauritania and wish them all the best.
I have heard great things about Iranian hospitality to strangers! Greetings from the UK.
Beautifully said!!!
It's a failed state...the people may be nice individually, but it's very dangerous
It's been that way, in every country including the USA she has visited. She avoids the urban areas, rides the back road where people in small towns and in the county always show her great great hospitality expecting nothing in return.
@@fixento good point. I guess mostly citis are filled with greed and grief. The more remote you go, more nicer people you see.
These shows should be on television. They are educational, thrilling, interesting, well made, engrossing and you are amazing.
Don't let the Tv people interfere with Itchy Boots it's to good for Tv they will spoil it as the do with most things.
There are 1,630,000 of us breathing a sigh of relief! Ahmed, you and the Mauritanian people that helped Noraly are forever in our debt. Thank you! Safe travels Itchy Boots!!!!
Agree
Definitely, yes!
Echo that.
Ahmed took a different route in order to accomodate the bike. Legend.
That guy spending many hours on helping a stranger is remarkable. What a legend.
WOW Ahmed you are a GIANT of a man! Thank you for your kindness (Greetings from Australia 😊)
What an amazing episode. The kindness of strangers and Noraly's cool temperament should never be underestimated.
Big thanks from Morocco to the Mauritanian gentlemen who helped you .. wish you a safe journey and keep it up
these moments show us that most of us have a totally wrong image of other civilisations! ❤ Ahmad, you're a hero!
Good observation, so please do not trust media that show other like bad people .
I think you are confusing Mauritania with Afghanistan.
To anyone who considers themself brave, you're not really brave until you're Noraly "Itchy Boots" Brave! That goes for men, women, girls, and boys.
That was an awesome episode noraly. To find out that the bike just needed to be moved...which obviously you couldn't do on your own, deep sand etc, the relief on your face was apparent. And then for a guy that you'd only just met, saved his number, asked if he could help you and then he drives 4+hrs to potentially rescue you is one of the kindest acts iv ever seen.....What an adventure..
FOR NEXT TIME: No use to push/rock the bike back and forth in sand this deep (as you already mentioned Noraly). Instead, lay it on its right side, spin the rear wheel with your hand and find that neutral.
But what an adventure that was, eh? :)
That's what I was going to suggest. I've seen people "push start" motorcycles that way as well.
It's a shame that the manufacturers, on a bike that is intended for adventure riding, no longer put kick starters on them. A kick starter may be a literal life saver.
@@tpelle2 Not many people actually use adventure bikes for adventure, removing saves weight and things like side-stand and "in gear" switches are there to protect the stupid and the inevitable litigation when stupid decides to turn left or not confirm neutral/disengage the clutch on start up. Not disagreeing for Noraly's use case though.
I'm not a fan of laying a bike over on purpose, seems like one problem leads to another.
Often times just grabbing the rear wheel and tugging in both directions is enough.
More leverage than pushing the whole bike.
Or putting the side stand down and leaning the bike out of the hole while tugging the rear wheel.
If the side stand sinks in, lay something under it, take your boot off if nothing else.
I didn't notice if she tried pulling in the clutch to start.
That, at least, used to be an option to start while in gear.
The kindness of the Mauritania people shines brightly. This gives us hope that kindness can be found anywhere in the world. Thank you Noraly!
Love and respect to the people of Mauritania!! Thank you for taking care of our Itchy Boots!! ❤🙏
It warms my heart to know there are so many people in the world willing to lend a hand.
People are wonderful ... it's the puppets in government that screw the world up.
You are opening eyes and minds. So many places you’ve been that we’ve been told are dangerous, because of the environment or the “people”, yet everywhere you’ve been have encountered wonderful, caring people. Thank You! 🙏🏼
It never ceases to amaze me that the people on this earth with the least wealth are the most welcoming and kindest, whereas the wealthiest very seldom are. Thank you Noraly for sharing your experiences once again. 😘
Every video of Noraly that I watch, I just marvel at this woman: her generosity, beauty and the amazing world she shows us. Always a pleasure.
A situation that looked like a problem but turned into a serendipitous event illustrating the basic humanity and caring that is expressed by so many around the world. 🇨🇦
Wow, Noraly - you are constantly surrounded by incredibly protective angels. Your journey restores one's faith in the kindness and generosity of humanity. 💜 Thank you Ahmed and everyone who helped you.
What a privilege to ride those beautiful expansive Sahara dunes, especially with a lighter bike! Looked absolutely magical.
Exactly what I thought... I don't know if I would do the same being a woman...
Agreed! I think she is one BLESSED young Lady.😇
My goodness that is the truth. I was in the Marine Corps for 20 years and I am too scared to ride around the globe on a bike. Good for her!!!
She seems to be surrounded by Muslim angels. 😇😇😇
@@Agent_Starling Thank you for you service to our GREAT nation. I was named after a Marine who was KIA on the Bataan Peninsula April 1942, and have had the deepest RESPECT for the Marines all my life. 👍
The kindness and hospitality of these locals is amazing.
The whole world could learn from all these great folks you come across on your travels
Having just worked in Mauritania for the last 6 months on and off, I have nothing but praise for all who I meet.
What you experienced brings my faith back in humanity. Safe travels
Big thanks to Ahmed, the many hours he had to drive to help you, It is impressive👏 The young boys know about the Dakar Rally, that´s awesome👍
Because the village was once the Dakar rally route..... in the previous episode, noraly told a story
Fills ones heart with happiness at all the good people still out there in this world
Love this video. Good to see you have a bivi bag, emergency beacon etc. I'd wondered. I've sailed oceans on small boats and deserts are similar. Nobody there to help if you have a problem.
People there are lovely. They have nothing but they are so generous.
Seeing this just restores your faith in humanity, Ahmed travels 6 hours to help a complete stranger that he met once by chance! What a hero and the others were a credit to Mauritania also👍A lot to be said for kick starters but all's well that ends well, glad you got Alaska up and running Noraly👍
Before this season of your channel, I knew nothing about the land and the people of Morocco and Mauritania, just the basic textbook fact that they exist. I have followed your episodes since the beginning of your journey in South America, all the way to the north shore of Alaska. But the people of Morocco and Mauritania have caused me to rejoice. Their basic kindness, goodness, and generosity seems unmatched anywhere else in the world. My heart goes out to them.
Go back to season ! and see how she developed over time. Great journey to follow. I have rewatched from the very beginning for the third time now. You always see things you missed the first time,.
It warms my hart to hear this kind of words. Makes me proud as an maroccan. who is born in the Netherlands.
If you have the opportunity some day. go and see with your own eyes. Bless you Sir
Same here, before this season i didn't know anything about the people of Morocco or Mauritania. Now i know they're some of the best folks on planet earth.
Maybe this is how humanity comes together. Then peace will rule the world and we can love one another.
@@tedwalker1370 step by step. one at the time
Oh, God! What a huge relief to see that you got help and don't have to walk a long distance. Thank God you have your guardian angel working full time as much as you.🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏.
TIP: you are most likely right about getting it out of the gear. Next time, sit on the bike, try to "push" it back and forth while pressing the gear lever to go neutral. Sometimes, if there is tension on the gearbox, it doesn't come out of the gear until you release the tension.
I thought the same. But do this in the sand...
Isn't it amazing that the people you meet on your travels in the countries you visit are friendly, interested in where you are from and where you are going,offer you hospitality no matter how little they have and ask for nothing in return apart from your friendship.
The leaders of the world could learn so much from them. 👌
Welcome to Mauritania, we wish you a happy adventure. The terrain here is difficult, but it is a beautiful desert worth the effort
Lots is respect to local people they helped the best 🎉Love from india ♥️
One of the things that I've learned over the years watching Noraly is just how nice people are all over the world.
Its crazy how the media can really brainwash and manipulate peoples perceptions of people of nations. Noraly's videos is would open a lot of peoples minds that only see what the media shows
Only Govt, Big Pharma, and dirty Billionaires are nasty selfish people - most are fantastic.
100% agree. There are a lot of great people out there!
You have proven through your travels, how many wonderful people there are around the world! Everyone should watch your adventures because you show there’s is hope for world peace!
It’s amazing how there always seems to be a Rodger around when you need one. Kudos to all the local folks who reached out to help.
Thanks to these good Mauritanian gentlemen for bailing our Noraly from being left alone in the desert. The power of the internet also helped because she already was known worldwide. Her interaction with the people is admirable. Drive safe always Noraly ❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭
Moral of the story - it's better to break down in the desert than in some sections of LA
Watched the entire video before commenting.
1. Thank goodness you survived being launched off your bike without serious injury. That is #1 the most important thing.
2. Thank goodness you were prepared for extreme conditions. (Of course, having followed your travels for years now, we know you are safe and prepared.)
3. Thank goodness you were so close to help!
4. Once again, you show us that individual humans are basically good, everywhere on the planet. It gives me some hope for our beleaguered species.
Continued safe travels!
For this small period of time, Noraly was the most important visitor to Mauritania and the attention and kindness by the locals who chose to be their county's ambassadors. It was a simple shout out to the rest of the world. These people have become one more thread of humanity and generosity in the chain of people who are part of one wonderful journey throughout the world. Brava Noraly and rubberside down.
You'll never see this on the news or in hollywood, thanks too real people showing realities from the ground , All the best. Thank you Ahmad May God bless you
In the news and the hollywood there is only islamophobia
its crazy right? the perception the media paints on people is scary.
@@JohnnyCdz then One day you find the bad guys and you are dead, all Good until its not.
Mainstream media and Hollywood in the US brain washing people for years and years that Ahmed and Mohammed are killers and terrorist.
One lesson I have learnt from your tour is CORAGIOUS. If you can conquer FEAR, yo can achieve your set GOALS. Yes, you CAN.
Thanks Noraly, you are just an epitome of success.
❤
Even while riding by yourself, you are never truly alone.
Thanks to all the people that were concerned and came to help.
It was interesting to see you talking with the little lads. Meeting you made quite an impression on them. They will never forget the first time they got to rev the throttle on a motorbike. Alaska helps make friends too!
One of my favorite episodes this season! I love it when you interact with the local people and those two little boys were so full of wonder. Your new friend is amazing, what a blessing to have him escort you safely to the next town. It’s always good to have a plan A B C D and even a plan E in case of a real emergency. Off to the next adventure! Can’t wait to see where you end up on Wednesday…😊❤🎉
Safe travels Noraly…💕
Noraly - As a fellow solo adventurer, I have been so inspired by your determination and courage to go it alone. But I find the most joy in your adventures when they involve another's help, hospitality, and company!
There is a unique joy to be had when you travel on your own. But shared joy is doubled joy. And I can feel that on this side of my computer screen!
i love Mauritanie people are in my heart forever!!!!
What a friend Achman (sp) is! Wow. People are very kind in Morocco and Mauritania! Noraly is gifted to be around people from all over the world!
His name is ahmed 👍
The solution to your problem was......THE GOOD PEOPLE ON PLANET EARTH! Thank you for sharing your adventure and for find good people in the middle of the exspansive desert! Itchy Boots Rocks!❤❤❤
Watching your channel is so inspiring.
The kindness of people is actually surprising.
You're becoming an ambassador to the world Noraly.
Very exciting, and touching at the same time.
Thank you for bringing us hope.
Peace
What wonderful Ambassadors for Mauritania. Thanks you for helping Itchy Boots...
Every where you go you bring out the best of humanity. The issues you have are part of YOUR journey through life. The way you interact with others is amazing! Everyone warms up to you instantly and provides the support and encouragement you need at that time. To me, it is during these times that I learn, through you, that having the right approach, right attitude and respect for others, that you show us, that people of the world can be nice and helpful, no matter what their situation is. To me, you are an Ambassador of the World and show us through your journeys, that there is hope for all of us in this crazy world. Safe trails, keep the rubber on the road, or sand!
You are absolutely correct, Noraly brings "hope to all of us in this crazy world"
As I sit in my comfortable home in Florida, I am blown away by the people who have adapted to life in the desert. Thank you for showing us a different world....again.....Noraly!
Great, I'm from Morocco. Please how crocodiles lives in Florida close to residences ?i saw yesterday a crocodile knocking the door of somebody.
@@mrfollan1332 they alligators 🐊 not crocodiles

In all my travels around the world I found that most people are good people and will go well out of their way to help someone in need. What a lovely guy Ahmad is!
Seriously? In my travels through life I"ve encountered quite the opposite. My twin tried to show a hitchhiker good will and a ride, it earned him being robbed and murdered.
@@peterjones4621 Nah only good people at heart, like genuine Muslims. otherwise the whole world including this lady is Me , Myself and I.
i think you didnt make too much travel at all. @peterjones4621
True, many people in the world are very human and nice filled with Gods love. The problem is politicians and extremists who spread hate, lust and a lot of propaganda. Go anywhere in the world and you will be surprised that what most media is telling us is totally false. Shockingly because of ignorance we just belief!
It goes to show that the world is full of friendly, hospitable, kind people for the most part. You are an inspiration to all. Love your channel. Stay safe.
This is turning out to be quite the adventure from scary mishaps that leave you stranded in the desert, to the heroes who come to your rescue. The people are just wonderful. You leave us always wanting more.
Noraly what a good friend you got in Mauritania... He drove 6 hrs to come help and still took you on further... Topman !!.
Stay safe
Amazing. And he's still leading you. I stand in awe of the kindness and helpfulness of the people of Mauritania.
Another angel riding on your shoulder Noraly, this time in the form of Ahmed of Mauritania. What a wonderful example of human kindness and generosity of spirit. So inspiring. Thank you Noraly and Ahmed!
Ahmed seems like a representation of the many good and decent people you met in you're amazing journeys. The world is filled with decent people like Ahmed, thanks for proving it! Cheers 🍻
Oh, why do I get choked up when seeing how generous and kind the people are in Mauritania!
It's warming when Humans can help each other. 👌
Because you saw humanity...here in the West, there is not more humanity 😕
@@maldridge7630 Maybe need to be close to Allah to understand it
@@peace-tu5lw that is exactly what I meant 😀
I don't care how many stunning sets we see, gorgeous gorges, amazing rock formations, clear blue lakes, none of it stirs me as much as meeting people like Ahmed. You've met quite a few Noraly and for me those are the real 'lump in the throat' moments. Thank you for sharing.
clutch switch! just bypass it for the future
what an experience. Mauritanian people are so reliable, friendly, and helpful.
A moroccan who lives in the United States is so proud of our Mauritanian neighbors!!!
The Mauritanians are original Moroccan its France that break Morocco in parts. They ruined our country and our Brothers
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Allah does not have children. You are wrong . Jezus is a prohet of God just as Moses and David and Mohammed peace be on them
Merci vraiment pour votre commentaire nous aussi somme fier d’être voisin d'un peuple aussi célébré aussi accueillant d'une civilisation merveilleuse que nous partageons la même religion ,
salut à vous depuis la Mauritanie
We are Brother’s not neighbours 🇲🇷🇲🇦❤️
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ how's that going so far?
If jammed in gear and on deep sand you could rest bike on its right side and then ‘hand rock’ the rear wheel to take pressure of the gear train and then hopefully you can move the shift lever into Neutral. That’s my initial thoughts, but of course when you have just fallen off your bike the assumption is that you have broken something!
Thanks for all the great videos, you are an inspiring person and we are so lucky to be able to share in your journeys.
Yes dear
ماشاء الله عليكم يا أهلنا في موريتانيا أهل فزعة والله .. ما أجمل بلادكم تحياتي لأهلنا في موريتانيا العلم والعلماء .. أخوكم من السعودية 🇸🇦🇸🇦🌹

الله إخليك تحياتي لبلاد الحرمين الشريفين
Yes much love ❤ to Ahmed and the kind Mauritanian people and what a beautiful desert country.
And you spread happiness during your journey and that happiness comes back to you in the form of these lovely people.❤
This gave me the feels. The milk of human kindness, triumph in adversity, the beauty of the desert etc etc etc. ❤👌🙌🙏
It would be nice to think that good people just attract good people, but that is too simple. But a huge thank you to Ahmed and the people of Mauritani who helped out a person in need. So wonderful...and a great advert for their country!!! And Noraly, so good at keeping her cool in a tough situation. Great example for us all!!
There are lot many good people on this earth. Thank you Ahmed for your commitment for good. It recognises that it is always good deeds make great.
Such incredible people! I can’t believe how everyone seems to be so giving and willing to help even strangers! Kind of emotional to see the nice man helping you and driving so far to do so. You were definitely blessed! ;)
If nothing ever went wrong it would be boring ...... That is why I love Itchy Boots and to the people of Mauritania Cheers to you for being great Ambassadors !!!!!!!
