My grandfather Wilfred Becquet exported several of his cattle and I well remember three cows and one bull going to Costa Rica. They left Jersey on a small Bristol Freighter aircraft on the first stage of what must have been a very long and exhausting journey via the UK. I was therefore fascinated to see their progeny so happily settled in Central America producing that same thick milk that we and the farm cats drank every day - and don’t get me started on that fantastic salty butter my grandmother made in the wooden paddle box then patted into shape with the two bats, each engraved with a cow’s face to give it authenticity!
Nothing but good things to say about the people of Costa Rica when I traveled there back in 2004. One month wasn't long enough. That farm was a nice find.
That farm was a beautiful example of a farmer who cares about his properties and animals .Nice and clean looking. They also have some of the best milk cow around extreme high cream content if anything like ones we had in Ontario. . They are also a very gentle animal .
I live in Costa Rica. I have visited many volcanoes throughout the years, once you get used to it, you forget about the beauty of nature, kindness of people and how lucky we are to live in a place like this. Thank you Noraly, enjoy our country and stay safe.
The drone footage of the volcano and above the coulds made my jaw drop. So amazing!! And what a nice young man that gave you the farm tour. So nice to see how proud he was of the farm! And he was absolutely right about the milk. The processing and pasteurization takes away all the good bacterias that is in milk. And it takes away so much of the taste..
Whole milk sucks. And that "good bacteria" / no pasteurization is why it will have zero shelf life. We can't all keep a cow in the back yard. Actually, plenty of studies show the world would be better off all around including from global warming if we did away with cattle completely.
@@ws8080 "Raw Milk", as it's called, has a shelf life, but people won't keep their refrigerator set to 34-35* F. Some people say 38*F is cold enough. But IT IS NOT COLD ENOUGH! I've work in Dairies in East Texas, the Dairymen who kept their Holding or Storage tanks set to 35*F got paid more for their milk. Those who kept it at 38*F, well their milk got sold to 2nd rate Cheese Companies. It does make a difference!

This guy has to have the jentlest touch with his farm animals that I've ever seen. Also funny for a Dutch to never have seen a dairy farm 🤯. Love the little house 👍
There are many people in the Netherlands who have never been to a farm. The milk comes from a factory according to these people. :D Both my parents were born on a farm. So I've been able to experience up close what it's like. Due to environmental regulations, the number of farms in the Netherlands is steadily decreasing.
Alaska has proven to be the perfect motorcycle for the adventure. In this episode, Alaska easily crosses the rough, rock strewn creeks and climbs the steep rocky roads. And, what next, a volcano and a beautiful dairy farm with a nice cabin and very accommodating young men as tour guides of the milk barn. Thank you Noraly for sharing your wonderful travels in Costa Rica!
Three fellow Issan Riders, Thailand, on their CRF’s, are now on their way back from the southern border, many say it’s too dangerous, they proved them wrong, Camping and exploring well off the beaten track, had some local firewater with some border soldiers somewhere, all very friendly.

Gunnera has special glands on its stem which form a symbiosis with nitrogen fixing blue green algae when it grows under nitrogen limiting conditions. It's a beautiful plant, growing over many of the mountainous regions of Costa Rica, where I have been living for the last thirty years. I am so pleased that Noraly Is visiting us, and hope she has a wonderful time here.
Still no luck with volcanoes, they actually have a bad temper as a matter of fact! Costa Rica is awesome and you're showing all its beautiful colours, truly amazing!
Now that is what i call a proper adventure with you! Craving a Costa Rican breakfast at 11 in the evening here, doing exciting enduro and tarmac riding on your pillion seat, flying with Itchy Boots airlines round a volcano and even above the clouds, enjoying the incredible abundance and beauty of the Costa Rican sceneries, getting cuteness attacks from little cowies and a housie, being thoroughly surprised by cows typical for my backyard in Germany, Austria or Switzerland and all of that in just 25 minutes! Itchy Boots, you are unbelievable and: Thank you!!!
Hi Noraly. I am living in Switzerland, however I grew up in South Africa on a dairy farm with Jersey cows. The milk you drank, was full cream and those cows produce a creamy rich milk. Thats why it was so good. Thanks for the video.
It's funny, as a city dweller, I've only had that kind of milk a few times, I can barely drink it, it seems so heavy! I feel like I'm drinking a stick of butter in a bowl of heavy cream. It is wonderful though.
@@versedi Jersey milk is creamier than the average - the cream is separated off to make skimmed, semi-skimmed & the normal stuff you buy, & used for other dairy products. Also, the unpasteurised raw product _may_ taste better, but it may also give you TB if you are unlucky, among other things, so... swings & roundabouts. So... not BS, & don't be rude to people.
She reminds me of a dog or puppy (i mean this in the most positive way). When a puppy falls down the stairs, it doesn't sit there and get depressed because he fell, he looks around and gets excited at all the stuff he didn't see before. Noraly goes down the wrong trail, she doesn't get pissed because she went the wrong way, she is excited because she saw more of the country.
I grow up surrounded by dairies and coastal farmings. Warm milk, fraich sea food are the best test ever! I respect 🙏 this farmer. He loves his land, animals and his job. What a place to live in/among/within.🙏
Came .looking for this comment as soon as I heard her ask :-). I've seen some big arsed Gunnera plants in the UK with leaves up to a metre across, but those are relatively rare - the ones Noraly was pointing out were epic, and in such quantity as I've never seen. @savage22 bolt - if you've ever been up close to the underside of one of those monster leaves you'd know why that has to be utter bullsh*t - they're prickly as f**k!
@@dragonoffski4501 I live in Mild Vancouver Canada. This stuff grows bigger than that even. There are specimens in Stanley Park and Queen E. Park that are monstrous.
I am just in awe! I live in Costa Rica for 8 years. Santa Cruz near Volcan Turrialba for 3 years it was wonderful!! We made the best friends of our life there. Now we live on the Nicoya Peninsula.
It's a tough life in a lot of ways. If it didn't have a good side, nobody would do it. I helped my uncle milk cows and slightly thought about doing it myself but, twice a day every day without fail, all of the things you have to worry about and you can still lose money while doing everything right.
Wow, loved the volcano. Loved the tiny hobbit house, looks so comfortable, loved even the engine revving of that Toyota truck! That was not sounding bad at all for being a truck!
No wonder some experience travellers often says Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful places on earth. For such a tiny country it has a lot of things to see and the diversity is remarkable. Happy Travels.
Costa Rica has a wonderful nature. You got amazing images. Especially the volcano images taken with the drone are extraordinary. Farm owners are very friendly. Thank you, Noraly. I wish you good health and safe travels. Love from Turkey 💙☘️
So many story lines in this video!! A little off roading with mud and rocks. Jungle areas. Gorgeous trails and an active volcano. And then a dairy farm with a Hobbit House. So interesting.
This episode brought back memories of staying overnight in a similar cabin with a view of an active volcano in CR. I stayed up most of the night as the smoke reflected the lava flow. It also brought back memories of realizing after a long boat ride and hours on a dirt road that I still had the keys to the room and the safe for a lodge in the middle of the Tortugas National Park. The driver said he knew a boat operator that would return the keys.
The walk through the dairy cows took me back 50 years when we owned a big dairy farm. Nothing better than fresh cold whole milk straight from the milk cat. Loved yout video again Noraly, you make us feel so welcome and part of your travels. Thanks again. Blessings from Banbasa, Northern India.
I studied in Turrialba for about 3 months from August to December just last year at CATIE, and I loved it so much. The campus is extremely close to the volcano and seeing it everyday was so beautiful! It is such a lovely place with such kind people. I definitely want to return with family!
There she goes again….”Here’s the plan”… Then two dead ends and just happens into a cute overnight and an interesting tour ! 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t know how she does it, but I hope she keeps doing it! Another great drone shot too! A very special lady!
I guess what that tells us is that there's that kind of beauty basically everywhere, one will always bump into it, once one goes to find it. At least she said so. 🤗
What a little treasure that cabin is, and the farm is wonderful. It's obvious the farmer loves the cows and takes good care of them. Even his donkey gets some affection, not often seen in most countries. This was a lot of fun, Noraly!
I have only ever met one person from Costa Rica. When they described it's beauty I had no idea. This country has an abundance of natural beauty from what I have seen so far. Can't wait for you to show us some more.
I grew up in Costa Rica in the surrounding areas of this volcano, but never got close enough to see it in person. I can't believe how beautiful it actually is! Thank you Noraly!!!
On the off road trails no big spiders were there to make Noraly shout. What a amazing little cabin to stay in also. Good to visit the volcano with the drone and flying above the clouds. Nice to get a tour of the dairy farm, oh to have a fresh glass of milk.
All I can say is WOW!!! Drone shots are incredible! Thank you for taking us armchair warriors on your worldly travels!! Can't wait for the next videos!! Safe travels Noraly!!
The little “hobbit” house is soooo cute! I love how you randomly stopped at that place looking for somewhere to stay for the night and you ended up finding the cutest accommodation with lovely owners. That’s what travelling is about for me.
@@bahardin3992 different RUclipsrs have different style :) . I used to follow a couple travelling the world and they would show the cost of the accommodation & all other expenses. After a while they started getting bitchy comments around the lines that they “spend too much” etc. If I had a RUclips channel I would also keep things a bit more “neutral” :)
@@bahardin3992 I think also because prices become obsolete yet viewers watching this years later forget that fact, a lot of content creators hesitate to include prices because it makes difficulties for the hosts later (people demanding a 2 year old price, for example).
Very captivating video, I loved it! Such a nice area to ride through and the drone shot of the wisps of smoke coming from the volcano was really cool. The tour of the dairy farm was a great bonus, beautiful cows and really nice people willing to share what they do.
Hola mi querida amiga, gracias por dar un pequeño recorrido por mi país en cual la llaman la Suiza centroamericana por su belleza, esas hojas grandes las llamamos nosotros, mano de tigre, el nombre científico es. Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum Mi país tiene muchos lugares preciosos, como usted pudo ver es una tierra paradisíaca. Ojalá regrese con más tiempo muchas gracias y que Dios te bendiga.
Double 👍 for this one. It’s the random interactions with local people along with the journey that make your videos so good. The guys clearly loved and cared for their animals, they were so gentle with them and the opportunity to drink raw full cream jersey milk…wow! It must have been rich and rare! We were supposed to be flying to Argentina Nov 21 to start on our way up to Alaska on our Himalayans… delayed for obvious reasons so plan now is to fly to Vancouver June this year and just start going south. We’ll keep an eye open for you and Alaska and give you a huge wave 👋 if our paths cross. Kindest regards Jackie and Mike
I especially like the part when we see houses, small villages and have interactions with the locals. I am not a big fan of the filming of paths through the jungle. There isn't much to see except for dense vegetation on both sides. But, I guess there is an audience for everything.
@@grantwtk Hi Grant, yes we will be but I can't think my efforts will be anywhere near as professional as Noralys. I am just in the process of buying action cams and working out how to make videos! I have created a RUclips channel as a starter for 10 and somewhere to store my first attempts 🤔
Have you considered going north for two or three weeks, visiting Dawson City in the Yukon and then heading up the Dempster Highway to Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Ocean - spectacular scenery on the way and the chance to ride with nearly 24 hrs of daylight in the middle of June.
@@paulmartin6642 I hadn’t thought to do that simply because we need to be in Mexico by November and I wasn’t sure we would have time to do justice to all the places en route but it looks an amazing road and our trip was always supposed to be penguins to polar bears 😆 we are now looking at how we can incorporate the Yukon and the Dempster highway…polar bears to penguins instead Many thanks for your suggestion 👍Jackie
Americans may appreciate; Costa Rica is almost exactly the size of Indiana, though oriented east/west, not north/south. With friends, we flew into San Jose, in the center of the country. We planned to tour a few days in Central Costa Rica, then go west for a few days on the Pacific, then east for a few days on the Atlantic Coast. We were so enthralled with the scenery and wonderfully kind people of central Costa Rica, the scenery, the volcanoes, hot springs, etc... we spent fourteen days in interior of Costa Rica and never saw either ocean. Hopefully Noraly can do some night flying with the drone near Mount Arenal.
My home of Portugal is also often compared to Indiana. (Indiana is evidently popular with smaller nations). 😀 But I think Costa Rica is smaller than either of them (51,000 km2 to 92,000). Probably closer to West Virginia.
@@nspires1 I used to work in West Virginia. The joke there was that it looks small, but if they flattened it out, it would be bigger than Texas. A very, very, very, very rolling bit of terrain.
following your travels and seeing the volcano against the blue sky and white clouds, brought to mind these words by Edna St. Vincent Millay; “The world stands out on either side No wider than the heart is wide; Above the world is stretched the sky, No higher than the soul is high." Let's go! Happy Trails Noraly.
The cinematography is absolutely stunning. Geology by qualification. Traveler by passion. Film maker by proxy. All superior creds for quality content. Incredible viewing.
I live in Springfield Missouri USA. I have family in Costa Rica. My brother-in-law just sent me your video after I told him I just ordered a Honda CRL rally. Knowing that you are routing through the US to Canada I just wanted to mention, there are epic roads and adventures in the Ozarks area. Let me know if you need any suggestions in this area!👍🏻 I was sold on you when you said “today the plan is to ride to…..good question.” Love it!! 😍
After more than 100,000km traveling the world Noraly finally found herself a travel companion she was willing to commit to and it was a cow. You’re going to need a really big sidecar. 🐄
That young man giving you the tour has definitely spent time in the US, possibly for college? He is very well spoken and really loves his farm! Fresh milk is the best!😋
Most of these young ticos gravitate to New Jersey of all places to work misc jobs and in so doing learn engish quite well there

@@stargatedr Most young costa ricans go to university, and there you need to learn english and a third language, like french or portuguese, talking from experience.
@ Yes, I am aware of this. I've known students that went there. I also have known many that are now blue color workers with trade skills in CR acquired in New Jersey that learned very good English there in the states.
It's good that you show Alaska when the track gets dicey. I always keep in mind that you are carrying a load so the physics make falling or getting stuck much more likely but, I was surprised to see so much on Alaska. When we see just the helmet camera it's easy to see all we could do on a bare motorcycle. I've milked cows and some of those cows look more like Brown Swiss breed than Jerseys. I've never been to Europe but, Brown Swiss cows would make me think Switzerland.
About those big leaves…actually I saw them first time while you were riding on the Caraterra Austrel in Argentina.After watching your videos I had googled them up and read a lot about them.They are called Gunnera tinctora .Some people also call them Giant rhubarbs
Здравствуйте, Noraly!! Чуточку позже. Обратил внимание на дату выхода видео в эфир, случайность...или... спасибо...💐. Удивительный Вулкан, съёмки впечатляют!! Ферма и согласен, уютный, милый, компактный домик для отдыха.... интересно... и до следующего видео!!
Yes, those drone shots were incredibly beautiful. I did a few screenshots of the drone footage to use as computer background image. Pretty awesome scenery there!
When I was 14 years old, summer 1955, I lived on a farm for six weeks. They had two cows, the milk from which the Defty's sold to their neighbors. The taste of fresh very thick cream (and milk) is glorious. I have had similar cream only twice in my life. Heavenly and ultra rich.
The tiny home is just right for a guest house! The drone shots of the volcano and the clouds below was quite a show. The Dairy visit was also good especially since you had not been to one before. Thanks for telling your story!
That she did not visit a dairy farm/cheese maker before is remarkable in and of itself since she comes from the country that is one of the largest dairy exporters in the world. In the Netherlands it is hard to travel 10 kilometers without passing a dairy farm, a lot of which make their own cheese.
Just watching this video makes me miss Costa Rica even more. Such a beautiful country and people and amazing biodiversity. The Atlantic coast has a Caribbean feel, and the Pacific Coast is gorgeous with great places for surfing in water that always feels warm, and exploring the waterfalls in the mountains, and the amazing biodiversity of Corcovado. Several of the volcanos in Costa Rica are regularly active. I hope you continue to enjoy your time in the land of "pura vida, mae."
Noraly Even a dead end is a learning experience😉 We get the Ocean,a volcano and a farm visit all in one,GREAT! PS, the drone footage was amazing,thanks again for another wonderful instalment😊

The plant with the big leaves is called Gunnera manicata (Brazilian Rhubarb or Giant Rhubarb), they can get to 2.5 metre across.
Thanks for the name of this plant. I thought it looked like the Rhubarb family of plants and WOW seven feet three inches across that is a huge leaf.
Gunnera has special glands on its stem which form a symbiosis with nitrogen fixing blue green algae when it grows under nitrogen limiting conditions. It's a beautiful plant, growing over many of the mountainous regions of Costa Rica, where I have been living for the last thirty years. I am so pleased that Noraly Is visiting us, and hope she has a wonderful time here.
It’s a shame you couldn’t get closer to the volcano, but the drone footage was incredible! Nicely done, Noraly!
Still no luck with volcanoes, they actually have a bad temper as a matter of fact! Costa Rica is awesome and you're showing all its beautiful colours, truly amazing!
Probably all male volcanoes and they all get too excited knowing Norally is coming to visit (premature eruption 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
Hey moral y, wanneer je Langa playas del coco rijd, kom dan van een tipisch CR ontbijt genieten in Café Corazon.

That was my thought as well the colours

Now that is what i call a proper adventure with you! Craving a Costa Rican breakfast at 11 in the evening here, doing exciting enduro and tarmac riding on your pillion seat, flying with Itchy Boots airlines round a volcano and even above the clouds, enjoying the incredible abundance and beauty of the Costa Rican sceneries, getting cuteness attacks from little cowies and a housie, being thoroughly surprised by cows typical for my backyard in Germany, Austria or Switzerland and all of that in just 25 minutes! Itchy Boots, you are unbelievable and: Thank you!!!
Hi Noraly. I am living in Switzerland, however I grew up in South Africa on a dairy farm with Jersey cows. The milk you drank, was full cream and those cows produce a creamy rich milk. Thats why it was so good. Thanks for the video.
It's funny, as a city dweller, I've only had that kind of milk a few times, I can barely drink it, it seems so heavy! I feel like I'm drinking a stick of butter in a bowl of heavy cream. It is wonderful though.
No, it was good cause it wasn't processed. Milk is good from any bred you pick. You spweing bullshit here.
✋🏻from🇿🇦
@@versedi Jersey milk is creamier than the average - the cream is separated off to make skimmed, semi-skimmed & the normal stuff you buy, & used for other dairy products. Also, the unpasteurised raw product _may_ taste better, but it may also give you TB if you are unlucky, among other things, so... swings & roundabouts. So... not BS, & don't be rude to people.

Costa Rica.😍😍😍😍🇨🇷🇨🇷
She reminds me of a dog or puppy (i mean this in the most positive way). When a puppy falls down the stairs, it doesn't sit there and get depressed because he fell, he looks around and gets excited at all the stuff he didn't see before. Noraly goes down the wrong trail, she doesn't get pissed because she went the wrong way, she is excited because she saw more of the country.
I grow up surrounded by dairies and coastal farmings.
Warm milk, fraich sea food are the best test ever!
I respect 🙏 this farmer. He loves his land, animals and his job.
What a place to live in/among/within.🙏
Hi there, the big leafed plant is Gunnera, they can also grow here in UK by rivers and streams. Thanks for sharing your great adventures. Stay safe.
Cool! I was scrolling comments to see if someone answered. Thanx for the info
Adam & Eve made use of them.
@@savage22bolt32 nonsense.
Came .looking for this comment as soon as I heard her ask :-). I've seen some big arsed Gunnera plants in the UK with leaves up to a metre across, but those are relatively rare - the ones Noraly was pointing out were epic, and in such quantity as I've never seen.
@savage22 bolt - if you've ever been up close to the underside of one of those monster leaves you'd know why that has to be utter bullsh*t - they're prickly as f**k!
@@dragonoffski4501 I live in Mild Vancouver Canada. This stuff grows bigger than that even. There are specimens in Stanley Park and Queen E. Park that are monstrous.
I am just in awe! I live in Costa Rica for 8 years. Santa Cruz near Volcan Turrialba for 3 years it was wonderful!! We made the best friends of our life there. Now we live on the Nicoya Peninsula.
I am very happy to see young people enjoying life on their dairy farm.People seem very friendly too. Thank you.
It's a tough life in a lot of ways. If it didn't have a good side, nobody would do it. I helped my uncle milk cows and slightly thought about doing it myself but, twice a day every day without fail, all of the things you have to worry about and you can still lose money while doing everything right.
Wow, loved the volcano. Loved the tiny hobbit house, looks so comfortable, loved even the engine revving of that Toyota truck! That was not sounding bad at all for being a truck!
No wonder some experience travellers often says Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful places on earth. For such a tiny country it has a lot of things to see and the diversity is remarkable. Happy Travels.
😂😂😂😂
Costa Rica has a wonderful nature. You got amazing images. Especially the volcano images taken with the drone are extraordinary. Farm owners are very friendly. Thank you, Noraly. I wish you good health and safe travels. Love from Turkey 💙☘️
Hugo from Costa Rica
So many story lines in this video!! A little off roading with mud and rocks. Jungle areas. Gorgeous trails and an active volcano. And then a dairy farm with a Hobbit House. So interesting.
Exactly! Hobbit House 😁
This episode brought back memories of staying overnight in a similar cabin with a view of an active volcano in CR. I stayed up most of the night as the smoke reflected the lava flow. It also brought back memories of realizing after a long boat ride and hours on a dirt road that I still had the keys to the room and the safe for a lodge in the middle of the Tortugas National Park. The driver said he knew a boat operator that would return the keys.
The walk through the dairy cows took me back 50 years when we owned a big dairy farm. Nothing better than fresh cold whole milk straight from the milk cat. Loved yout video again Noraly, you make us feel so welcome and part of your travels. Thanks again. Blessings from Banbasa, Northern India.
I studied in Turrialba for about 3 months from August to December just last year at CATIE, and I loved it so much. The campus is extremely close to the volcano and seeing it everyday was so beautiful! It is such a lovely place with such kind people. I definitely want to return with family!
There she goes again….”Here’s the plan”…
Then two dead ends and just happens into a cute overnight and an interesting tour ! 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t know how she does it, but I hope she keeps doing it! Another great drone shot too! A very special lady!
I guess what that tells us is that there's that kind of beauty basically everywhere, one will always bump into it, once one goes to find it. At least she said so. 🤗
How kindly he treats the animals! 21:17
Not just a nomadic young woman's travels on a motorcycle but a great travel documentary. Breakfast in Costa Rica will set you up for the day.

What a little treasure that cabin is, and the farm is wonderful. It's obvious the farmer loves the cows and takes good care of them. Even his donkey gets some affection, not often seen in most countries. This was a lot of fun, Noraly!
I have only ever met one person from Costa Rica. When they described it's beauty I had no idea. This country has an abundance of natural beauty from what I have seen so far. Can't wait for you to show us some more.
I grew up in Costa Rica in the surrounding areas of this volcano, but never got close enough to see it in person. I can't believe how beautiful it actually is! Thank you Noraly!!!
On the off road trails no big spiders were there to make Noraly shout.
What a amazing little cabin to stay in also. Good to visit the volcano with the drone and flying above the clouds.
Nice to get a tour of the dairy farm, oh to have a fresh glass of milk.
All I can say is WOW!!! Drone shots are incredible! Thank you for taking us armchair warriors on your worldly travels!! Can't wait for the next videos!! Safe travels Noraly!!
The little “hobbit” house is soooo cute! I love how you randomly stopped at that place looking for somewhere to stay for the night and you ended up finding the cutest accommodation with lovely owners. That’s what travelling is about for me.
@@bahardin3992 different RUclipsrs have different style :) . I used to follow a couple travelling the world and they would show the cost of the accommodation & all other expenses. After a while they started getting bitchy comments around the lines that they “spend too much” etc. If I had a RUclips channel I would also keep things a bit more “neutral” :)
@@bahardin3992 I think also because prices become obsolete yet viewers watching this years later forget that fact, a lot of content creators hesitate to include prices because it makes difficulties for the hosts later (people demanding a 2 year old price, for example).
No animals or snakes on these adventures. Love your trips and attitude toward creation.
Very captivating video, I loved it! Such a nice area to ride through and the drone shot of the wisps of smoke coming from the volcano was really cool. The tour of the dairy farm was a great bonus, beautiful cows and really nice people willing to share what they do.
Hola mi querida amiga, gracias por dar un pequeño recorrido por mi país en cual la llaman la Suiza centroamericana por su belleza, esas hojas grandes las llamamos nosotros, mano de tigre, el nombre científico es.
Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum
Mi país tiene muchos lugares preciosos, como usted pudo ver es una tierra paradisíaca.
Ojalá regrese con más tiempo muchas gracias y que Dios te bendiga.
Double 👍 for this one. It’s the random interactions with local people along with the journey that make your videos so good. The guys clearly loved and cared for their animals, they were so gentle with them and the opportunity to drink raw full cream jersey milk…wow! It must have been rich and rare! We were supposed to be flying to Argentina Nov 21 to start on our way up to Alaska on our Himalayans… delayed for obvious reasons so plan now is to fly to Vancouver June this year and just start going south. We’ll keep an eye open for you and Alaska and give you a huge wave 👋 if our paths cross. Kindest regards Jackie and Mike
I especially like the part when we see houses, small villages and have interactions with the locals. I am not a big fan of the filming of paths through the jungle. There isn't much to see except for dense vegetation on both sides. But, I guess there is an audience for everything.
Sounds interesting. Any plans to film the journey?
@@grantwtk Hi Grant, yes we will be but I can't think my efforts will be anywhere near as professional as Noralys. I am just in the process of buying action cams and working out how to make videos! I have created a RUclips channel as a starter for 10 and somewhere to store my first attempts 🤔
Have you considered going north for two or three weeks, visiting Dawson City in the Yukon and then heading up the Dempster Highway to Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Ocean - spectacular scenery on the way and the chance to ride with nearly 24 hrs of daylight in the middle of June.
@@paulmartin6642 I hadn’t thought to do that simply because we need to be in Mexico by November and I wasn’t sure we would have time to do justice to all the places en route but it looks an amazing road and our trip was always supposed to be penguins to polar bears 😆 we are now looking at how we can incorporate the Yukon and the Dempster highway…polar bears to penguins instead Many thanks for your suggestion 👍Jackie
there is no word to explain the beauty of nature
Americans may appreciate; Costa Rica is almost exactly the size of Indiana, though oriented east/west, not north/south. With friends, we flew into San Jose, in the center of the country. We planned to tour a few days in Central Costa Rica, then go west for a few days on the Pacific, then east for a few days on the Atlantic Coast. We were so enthralled with the scenery and wonderfully kind people of central Costa Rica, the scenery, the volcanoes, hot springs, etc... we spent fourteen days in interior of Costa Rica and never saw either ocean. Hopefully Noraly can do some night flying with the drone near Mount Arenal.
I’m in Indy
Indiana is almost twice as big as CR
My home of Portugal is also often compared to Indiana. (Indiana is evidently popular with smaller nations). 😀 But I think Costa Rica is smaller than either of them (51,000 km2 to 92,000). Probably closer to West Virginia.
@@nspires1 I used to work in West Virginia. The joke there was that it looks small, but if they flattened it out, it would be bigger than Texas. A very, very, very, very rolling bit of terrain.
A lot of Americans retire to Costa Rica.
following your travels and seeing the volcano against the blue sky and white clouds, brought to mind these words by Edna St. Vincent Millay;
“The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide;
Above the world is stretched the sky,
No higher than the soul is high."
Let's go! Happy Trails Noraly.
The consistency of your videos is honestly just amazing. Thank you so much for giving us something to always look forward to
I love the little house…👏👏👏👏👏
Wow the view from your drone is fabulous! I love that they gave you a tour. Costa Rican people are wonderful.
Costa Rica is truely beautiful. We love following you on your travels. We can visit countries virtually which we will never see in reality. Thank you.
Thank you Noraly for sharing your adventures. Your ability to effectively and compassionately communicate with the world is inspirational.
Was für tolle Aufnahmen mit der Drohne 🙂👍
What a bunch of happy looking animals!! For the sake of them and the people alike, let's hope the volcano stays quiet.
The cinematography is absolutely stunning. Geology by qualification. Traveler by passion. Film maker by proxy. All superior creds for quality content. Incredible viewing.
Costa Rica is a beautiful country with friendly people! Thanks for taking us with you!
I live in Springfield Missouri USA. I have family in Costa Rica. My brother-in-law just sent me your video after I told him I just ordered a Honda CRL rally. Knowing that you are routing through the US to Canada I just wanted to mention, there are epic roads and adventures in the Ozarks area.
Let me know if you need any suggestions in this area!👍🏻
I was sold on you when you said “today the plan is to ride to…..good question.”
Love it!! 😍
After more than 100,000km traveling the world Noraly finally found herself a travel companion she was willing to commit to and it was a cow. You’re going to need a really big sidecar. 🐄
Haha on the extremely large sidecar. May have to add a much larger engine for her normal off road trips.
A very sweet jersey
@@giles-df9yu I think see could take the Brown Swiss, a little bit lighter, but more cream..
At least she will have fresh milk everyday
She did say in an interview once she would travel with Brad Pitt.
Noraly is taking us on the ride across the Earth roads then suddenly bump us in the sky above clouds, amazing! :)
That young man giving you the tour has definitely spent time in the US, possibly for college? He is very well spoken and really loves his farm! Fresh milk is the best!😋
Or he could have learned it at school in Costa Rica. He had to ask his younger brother how to say vacuum.
Most of these young ticos gravitate to New Jersey of all places to work misc jobs and in so doing learn engish quite well there
@@stargatedr Most young costa ricans go to university, and there you need to learn english and a third language, like french or portuguese, talking from experience.
@ Yes, I am aware of this. I've known students that went there. I also have known many that are now blue color workers with trade skills in CR acquired in New Jersey that learned very good English there in the states.
Drone shots of volcano are superb.
It's good that you show Alaska when the track gets dicey. I always keep in mind that you are carrying a load so the physics make falling or getting stuck much more likely but, I was surprised to see so much on Alaska. When we see just the helmet camera it's easy to see all we could do on a bare motorcycle. I've milked cows and some of those cows look more like Brown Swiss breed than Jerseys. I've never been to Europe but, Brown Swiss cows would make me think Switzerland.
Impressive farming over there in Costa Rica!
About those big leaves…actually I saw them first time while you were riding on the Caraterra Austrel in Argentina.After watching your videos I had googled them up and read a lot about them.They are called Gunnera tinctora .Some people also call them Giant rhubarbs
Gunnera is what I think they are as well. Apparently, they are also known as 'the poor man's umbrella'. :)
I just said to myself "They look like the Rhubarb leaves in my back garden" 🙂
Здравствуйте, Noraly!! Чуточку позже. Обратил внимание на дату выхода видео в эфир, случайность...или... спасибо...💐. Удивительный Вулкан, съёмки впечатляют!! Ферма и согласен, уютный, милый, компактный домик для отдыха.... интересно... и до следующего видео!!
Hello Noraly, good to see you again. Ride safe.
Terrific videos and impressive video of the clouds! Good luck.😊
Those flying droid shots are incredible - the altitude and range you can go to is impressive
Yes, those drone shots were incredibly beautiful. I did a few screenshots of the drone footage to use as computer background image. Pretty awesome scenery there!
When I was 14 years old, summer 1955, I lived on a farm for six weeks. They had two cows, the milk from which the Defty's sold to their neighbors. The taste of fresh very thick cream (and milk) is glorious. I have had similar cream only twice in my life. Heavenly and ultra rich.
Absolutamente hermoso este capítulo! Qué paisajes! Qué caminos! Hermosa granja ganadera! Qué gente tan simpática! Bravo, Norely!
El michi que sale con las vaquitas se la juega con el inglés, excelente!
The dairy farm was beautiful. I am huge fan of your channel and am currently vacationing in CR. So happy to see this country from your perspective.
All schools , throughout the world , must teach what you experience everyday . My God !!!
The tiny home is just right for a guest house! The drone shots of the volcano and the clouds below was quite a show. The Dairy visit was also good especially since you had not been to one before. Thanks for telling your story!
That she did not visit a dairy farm/cheese maker before is remarkable in and of itself since she comes from the country that is one of the largest dairy exporters in the world. In the Netherlands it is hard to travel 10 kilometers without passing a dairy farm, a lot of which make their own cheese.
A very moooooooving episode.
Pura geología ! Otro bueno el episodio...
Those cows are so cute...!! That whole place is beautiful though..
Just watching this video makes me miss Costa Rica even more. Such a beautiful country and people and amazing biodiversity. The Atlantic coast has a Caribbean feel, and the Pacific Coast is gorgeous with great places for surfing in water that always feels warm, and exploring the waterfalls in the mountains, and the amazing biodiversity of Corcovado. Several of the volcanos in Costa Rica are regularly active. I hope you continue to enjoy your time in the land of "pura vida, mae."
Loved the slogan on Noraly's Mug of Milk "Home is where I am with You": must strike a chord with many.
Noraly
Even a dead end is a learning experience😉
We get the Ocean,a volcano and a farm visit all in one,GREAT!
PS, the drone footage was amazing,thanks again for another wonderful instalment😊
Oh my!you summed it up nicely.....
wow noraly you just such a wonderful disposition lots of laughter no matter what the opposition is 😊 that's a good way to stay calm and cool as a cucumber as many would have cracked up going thru river beds ruff stones and knee deep water ways keep that joy inside it's what keeps from getting discouraged and depressed 😇
I'm glad you have your drone with you. Although you can't get near it, the view from above is amazing. The dairy farm tour was a bonus. Thank you and be safe.
Thank you for stopping by in my hometown, greetings from Turrialba🇨🇷🇨🇷
yeyyy 😍! if we aren't able to travel but need a little inspiration, we can simply head over to you..thanks for the ride Ms. Noraly! the joy and magic of world travel becomes widespread. ride safe always and take care😘
Thanks for flying the drone to the Volcano...great views.
I have been waiting for your CR travel for a long time since I have heard so many good things about the place. Couple of my coworkers retired early, bought a place and now they live there. Gorgeous nature and people! Apparently, I don't even need to learn Spanish, if I move there!
What fantastic footage of the volcano from above the clouds. Anyone not knowing would think you were in an airplane! The range of the drone is really impressive. I never tire of videos like this. And how lovely to see Jersey cows! I am from Jersey so this was a real treat . Really well done Noraly. 👍
Wonderful drone shots, what a beautiful landscape.
The cows were good too, nothing like Jersey milk!
Loving your journey, thanks for sharing it.🥰
The clouds next to the volcano looked awsome. Breath taking sight. God sure created a lot of beauty
Good day Noraly, I can't tell you how much I love your adventures and how much I appreciate you bringing us along with you.
I'm now on your Season 5, Ep. 21.
I'm getting there !!!
As always, stay safe young lady.
You're very very close to 100K Subs. Yay !!!
Close to 1 million subs she has 990 thousand now
More like 1000k 😎
Whoops !!! Yes,,, that's what I meant to say. I missed a Zero it seems. 😊
I'm sure she knew what I meant !!
Thanks for pointing this typo out to me. UGHHH
@@geraldtakala1721 Whoops,,,, That's what I meant to say. I missed some ZERO's I guess !
@@964cuplove Whoops,,, that's what I meant to say. I missed some ZERO's I guess !
Just loved the cup of milk you drank...so good. also the cows were so happy to see you...nice cabin room.....Can't wait for more videos...I see you Facebook posts now and wait for video...THANK YOU !!!
Your drone shots of the volcano are awesome. Be safe and God bless.
Glass of milk straight from the cow just cooled reminds me of young days at my uncles dairy farm - gorgeous!
Drone footage was amazing. The farm tour was very interesting. There's more infrastructure in that country than I was expecting. Great video as always Noraly 👍
Noraly is getting to 1 MILLION subs! Let's go!!
I am dreaming about living permanently in Costa rica,beauty everywhere and such nice friendly people 💝
Yeah I would like too
I like how gentle your tour guide with the cows. Gently rubbing them to get them to move aside.
