  • In this episode, nothing goes to plan any longer. Camera issues, border crossing requirements, a motorcycle drop and subsequent laptop breakdown... it's all part of the journey, and I just have to fix it. One problem at the time!

    It’s with an ever increasing heavy heart that I keep posting my videos. I feel guilty for being so far away from Europe, in a safe and peaceful Central America, where life goes on as usual. My little struggles and worries on the road feel insignificant and irrelevant every time I look at the news, even though this was recorded before the bombs started to fall in Europe. It feels wrong to post happy motorcycle adventure videos, or share little struggles. But, I also feel that in a time where thousands are fighting so bravely for their freedom, we must keep believing in freedom too. Believing that the world is not only cruel but filled with good hearted people. We need to keep shining bright and hope and pray the darkness will end very soon. People in Ukraine, I am thinking of you every single day and am in awe of your courage. Stay strong❤️

Otherwise, I say to myself, "Oh, what she does is so incredibly difficult, and yet she handles it all so easily. I could never do even a tiny fraction of those rides without all kinds of problems and glitches." But if you are human--and not actually a super hero 🙂--maybe there is hope for me to be a little braver in my riding and realize that even awesome riders like you occasionally have "glitches" days. And so it's okay when I have them. I so appreciate your videos! I dropped my bike a few weeks ago, and I was feeling really bad until I remembered one of your videos where you dropped yours, so I was able to believe that it really does happen to fearless riders like you, not just newbies like me. Thank you! You saved the day!! Please be safe and continue to have a wonderful time!

    You lifted my spirits, Noraly. Fully understand what you are feeling, but know you give joy at a time the world and your viewers need it. Hang in there... and a shame you missed Arenal.. it is fantastic, especially at night. And, I'm glad Alaska didn't know how you were craving to be back aboard Ronin with its aftermarket exhaust when that kid keep revving his bike for you to notice....

    "Suddenly riding in the middle of nowhere..." One of many reasons we take this adventure with you and not attempt it ourselves. And I always get a kick out of what you call "roads". Using that term quite loosely. True adventure. This is why we love you.

    A Tico here, being born, raised in a country with no army, our perspective of freedom, war and to be really free is different. It is really sad, heartbreaking what is happening, what always happens. Noraly, your mission on this world might be to provide a smile on the hearts of those living their own battles, spreading that joy as you ride. ¡¡Peace and a huge Pura Vida to everyone!!

    The young man was having so much fun riding with you and was very kind to point you in the right direction! Falls happen in the rough terrain, glad you were not hurt and able to press on. The view at the top of the hill was worth the day of riding, I’m sure! Then, the drone footage was over the top. Beautiful mountains everywhere! Thanks for sharing your adventure and ride safe Noraly!

Sometimes when I think about rebirth (in my faith it's not existent but that doesn't stop me from imagining :-)) I don't know if I would like to be a cat and sleep all day long or become a bird and see the wonders of the world from a different perspective. The drone shots are so awesome because the masses of beauty in one place is so phenomenal! Our planet is unbelievably beautiful.

    Please! Do not let the situation in Europe affect your trip too much. It is a grateful exception to all that is heavy and miserable in the world. So go ahead with a good heart to plan your trip. You're excused for that. Then it is so wonderful to be able to take part in your experiences on a motorcycle and not least your geological knowledge. Also hope you get your technical equipment in order so you can continue to show your journey. See you!

Life is a precious gift . I Pray, Peace will come to our world. Im glad your ok from your fall. I’m going to dust off the old Harley know. Thank You for brightening up my morning. You are truly making a difference in so many peoples lives. ♥️

  • @martinhutton358
    @martinhutton358 2 года назад +30

    Keep going, Noraly! As others here have said, it's important to see that things like common decency, kindness, respect, and generosity are what make the world a better place. Your vlogs show just how awesome people are, no matter where they live, and these six series you have shared with us are some of the best examples on RUclips of that, that I can think of, so please, please do not think it is frivolous or silly to continue.
    Ordinary decent people are the ones who build things up. Wastes of space and effort like Putin end up wrecking and dragging things down, and usually for no better reason than pathetic money-grubbing greed.
    So you hang on in there, and keep realising your dreams. Plus if you stop now and we have to wait ages for series 7 to see the end of this epic, totally bloody awesome journey, I may get a tad stressed and eat a very large amount of chocolate, and you don't want that on your conscience. :-)

    Glad you and Alaska are injury free from that day and you’re risk analysis is healthy. You are super thoughtful with your planning especially the foreign red-tape to consider. You make global travel look like so much fun.. I’m confident you will conquer the technical problems as you do everything else so well. Looking forward to the next one and your great attitude, smile, and spirit! Thank you for using that drone!

    Noraly. Thank you for all that you do for us. Your inspiration never ends. You have a world of followers that, I am sure, would want you to do what your heart tells you to do. You could go home and be with family and friends until this is over. We would understand and be here for you when you returned. You could also keep doing your vlog as you have been and maybe this would help you think of riding and vlogging and help take your mind off Ukraine and Europe, if only for a while each day. Whatever you decide, we will always be here for you! Our prayers to you, the people of Ukraine and Europe and the rest of the world! Be safe!!

We did retrace your trip up the coast on the beach to the Bongo River with the crocodiles. At night time we could see the eyes of 10 in the river, reflections from the headlights. Happy trails and be safe.
