@@CryMeARiver13you are right. She purposely rides off the paved roads and hence has to face difficulty. These non Africans praise her sky high sitting in their comfy homes.
That little creature is a millipede it is called a shongolola in South Africa. They are harmless and come into our homes all the time. They curl up to protect themselves. Malawi is a beautiful country. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
@@riendetout8812 Thank you for your reply. Shongololo comes from the Zulu and Xhosa language meaning to roll up or curl up. We have 11 official languages in South Africa and most South Africans of all languages - use the name. It’s a cute name😂
Before watching you travel to Africa, I had a different perception of Africa; watching you change that perception for the better. I now have a great deal of respect for Africans. Thank you!!
Being from the USA, I agree 100%. We are not shown or taught the truth. Every country has a bad element and that's what gets all the big media attention. People being nice apparently doesn't get the ratings compared to violence. I am so thankful for Itchy Boots showing us truth. Peace!
Being from the US I thought the same thing until I went to Africa, now I’ve been back twice and would go back again if the opportunity presented itself.
And you all from the USA, Canada, and elsewhere, commenting are very sorely, politically-correct, missing the point. What is the point? The point is that Noraly's very hardcore, unforgiving African adventure showcasing the intensive and extensive infrastructural decay and the entrenched lack of development brings out the hospitable nature of its people, always willing to lending a helping hand, especially to foreigners. Noraly enjoyed that privilege. Equally, every retrogression, poverty, wars, disease, etc that is shown in the news about Africa is correct, and just as valid as the Noraly positive outlook in life depicting suffering and smiling, and hope for the future. So, in a nutshell, there is no contradiction between the news media reporting and the Noraly scenic journey and experiment about Africa. Noraly concluded this video by showing where she is lodging with a "broken faucet, no running water" in a region obviously blessed with abundant "heavy rainfalls," as she said, plenty of rivers and lakes? How is that a positive thing about "Africa?" How many Americans or Canadians would have tolerated that type of service, broken faucets, no running water, in their own respective countries, in any hotel or motel? But that is typical (West) Africa for you - where running water is gold.

I started watching Noraly when she began Season 6. By episode 35 I bought another bike, that was back in July, 2022. When I reflect on her amazing video series I have already watched over 50 HOURS just in Season 7. I don't recall how many episodes were in Season 6 but I'm confident in thinking there were more than 50 hours there, so, over 100 hours of Itchy Boots and I think she is my sister, I know her that well. What Noraly has achieved few will ever get close to. And, she is so very smart. Think of it, each episode is around 23 minutes, which if picked up by a national television service, her timing is perfect for commercial tell lie vision, room for commercials and announcements. In praise of Noraly Schoenmaker, the real Wonder Woman.
It’s so cute to see Noraly intimidated by a millipede…after traveling thru some of the most precarious places in the world. Beautiful drone footage helped us see what the rain and mist wouldn’t…Loved it. Your smiling face, knowing you faced rain and mud with no rain gear is just unbelievable. Thanks for sharing another hard working day with us! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Riding on a dirt trail with gullies cut by rain is difficult. Add loads of miscellaneous rocks and it gets harder to stay upright. Add still, rain soaked dirt that clogs the tires leaving the rocks quite slippery, and the conditions become treacherous. Your motorcycle skill level is off the charts.

From the US but watching from Copenhagen where I’m stuck in the airport SO thankful for a good video to watch worth draining my mobile battery for the next 24 minutes! Thank you for great content and hard work. 🙂
Your videography is good, lots of riding, many and quick perspective changes, danger, relief, sweet and kind people. It wouldn’t hurt to have a companion, to bounce ideas, help with just an extra hand sometimes, company…. I have watched you since India, on the one cylinder bike, a Himalayan I think. I’m a dad of three daughters and I worry sooo much for you. You have a gentle, generous smile and affect…that has my attention. I’m really pleased with your courage and growing bike skills. Your parents must be amazing, wonderful people, because they raised a mighty fine daughter. Noraly, thanks for sharing your adventure…from East Tennessee.
howdy from Northern Alabama! As a parent of 3 Adult children we never stop worrying, We only hope they have Angles sitting on their shoulders and they think smart , trust little and explore more. 🌍🌎🌏🏘🏡🏠🏍🛵🛣🦊
I have been saying this for years i worry about her being alone she had help for a few weeks in Madagascar which i think we all appreciated i worry about a serious traffic accident more than anything else i guess this is just an old man worrying please be careful love you ❤❤
It is truly amazing how a talented lady memorializing her solo motorcycle experiences captures the interest of so many people. Some of whom do not own or ride motorcycles. Noraly's spirit of adventure is simply a passenger on her Honda and we are the beneficiaries of her amazing journey. Wednesdays and Sundays are special days for me.
I second your thoughts! I do not own or ride motorcycles but Noraly has captured and held my interest through all these seasons! She amazes me with her endless talents and cheerful disposition! She has earned my respect with every single video!! Appreciate your comment!!
Well said Frank! So many other channels only manage to attract one demographic or specific interest group. Noraly has attracted people in all age groups, demographics, religions, countries, all with varied interests. She is amazing in more ways than we can imagine. We are so fortunate to be watching this legend. Peace!
First....Happy Mothers Day to Noraly's mom Mrs Schoenmaker! Because of you, we have Noraly. Where would we be without her. Noraly what awesome waterfall scenes. Screen captured! "Friendly smiley people".....Noraly fits right in. Cool to see the church on top of mountain. I feel better now that even Noraly forgets something at an accommodation! Thanks You Always! You never disappoint. Peace! ❤❤❤
Yes, excellent. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Mevrouw Schoenmaker. You cooked up one mighty fine bun in your oven. Now we all get to enjoy what you and her Dad raised to become one of the finest adventure vloggers on the planet. Thank you.
نورالي ، هاللووووو . انت رائعة و كل فيديوهاتك شيقة و ممتعة لابعد الحدود . كم انت فاتنة و مميزة و بسيطة حين تتحدثين عن الموضوعات و عن الناس الذين تقابلينهم بكل الود و المحبة. حقا انت جميلة و قمة في الأخلاق. احب مغامراتك جدا. تحياتي من هولاندا . اتمنى أن تستمري و أن تبقي بأمان دوما.
That welcome at the road side restaurant was just special. Like greeting an old friend! 🤗 I absolutely love the little **commenty thing-a-ding-things** you edit in recently. Good extra giggles! And if someone in Malawi sees a millipede with a white Rev´It rain jacket: Please send to Noraly Schoenmaker! 🥳 😍, 🤗!!1!
@@foxiedogitchypaws7141 It'll have a hard time explaining why it needs motorcycle clothing, not least as there are no motorcycles with hundreds of foot rests.
If even one tenth of the population on our lovely planet has Noraly's attitude, this whole place would be a paradise.....there would be no wars, no hunger, ........nothing but love for this fine, brave, smart,.. young lady.. from my family..
You are so incredibly brave. NO WAY I could sleep in a tent like that, knowing all of the horrible creatures that can crawl in -- centipedes, spiders .... NO FREAKING WAY!!! LOVE YOU for your courage!!!
Taking a loss is not always a bad thing... It can remind us of who we are, where we are and what we are doing or trying to accomplish... And more often than not makes us stronger... 💪 There is always a way forward... As Noraly is showing/teaching us...
The rain jacket decided to stay behind to comfort that millipede, a harmless buddy actually.. Hope you could get a new rain jacket, we don't want you getting sick anywhere (God forbid). Thank you so much Noraly for that breathtaking drone view of the twin waterfalls and dense forest too. The mist made it look more greene. Thanks. Keep safe too
Noraly's is amazing with all the rough riding , BUT let's hear it for Alaska !!! All that pounding Alaska takes and barely has a breakdown. Impressive.
You have to love Noraly🤩 You are one of a kind who takes her wins and losses the same way and moves on but every day is an adventure; whether you encounter some creatures in your tent, have a bathroom with no running water or leave your rain jacket behind but also relish the findings such as the highest waterfall in Malawi and trusting your GPS will take you through some mountain passes & jungle to deliver you to your desired destination ... WOW, WHAT A WOMAN!!! GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
I just want to say, I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to Noraly's episodes. I stumbled to the channel 3 months ago and would have to say the detail, work and attentiveness in putting these together is second to none! Well done Noraly.
Alaska the legend goes everywhere you want her to take you, what a bike! True perseverance Noraly to carry on in outrageous conditions. The warrior and her steed! yahoo!
Thank you Noraly for showing us parts of the world most of us will never have the pleasure to visit. Malawi and its people are beautiful. Those drone shots of the waterfalls and the green forest/jungle were absolutely gorgeous. I know how hard you work not only filming but editing, choosing fabulous music to accompany each video and planning each leg of your journey. It's a lot to do two videos a week! What a wonder woman you are! Thank you for your hard work so that we can all see the world through your eyes. Amazing!
Mine too, by far and I watch a lot of rider videos. I know pretty much all the girls out there riding and making videos; not personally but from watching them. Men also. Nobody does it better than Noraly Schoenmaker. That extra special quality she adds is a HUGE brain and TONS of talent.
Your drone shots of waterfalls and the next cloud engulfing valley are fantastic. You have taken so much trouble to reach there and given us that moment of joy that I cannot make it in my lifetime. Thank you Ma'am!
I think all have admired and congratulated Noraly for her adventure in basic and about her filming and videography, but one MORE IMPORTANT factor nobody has ever talked about and understood, probably, or realised is about her Selction of sound tracks running in the background. Every episode feels special ALSO due to that picture perfect Soundtrack selection and running just at the right time with right loud or sweetness (i would call it). We should admire her sense of music , which is almost to the level of a matured and Pro composer for such videos. She selects the tracks based on the regions, persons, scenary and runs it at the perfect moment with perfect timing and if I am correct she also tries some experiemtns in doing some editing based on the music and video pictures and situation. it is especially noticed when she rides longer stretches within jungle (mostly on dirt roads) and with DRONE shots. Amazing. Noraly take a bow! You are a complete Institute in yourselves. Great. I am REALLY feeling LUCKY to have it all.
Such a shame you forgetting that rain jacket. Long treks on a bike when wet and continuous rain make for an uncomfortable trip. Some spectacular drone shots over the waterfall. I’m constantly amazed at your patience and ability to get/take something positive out of a bad circumstance and making it your ‘go to’ attitude.Still following you after several years and have yet to ever be disappointed with any of your posts. You’re such a delight every Wednesday and Sunday for me in southern Ontario, Canada…❤❤❤Rick
9:55 Magestic..!! Thank you..!! Noraly. We love your videos so much for everything that you do in it. They have a lot of work passion and dedication.🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏As we are about to say a Big THANK YOU to our dear visitor NORALY for exploring our continent… we really appreciate your adventurous efforts. We might say GOODBYE to you soon but we will never forget your INSPIRATION, enthusiasm, courage, love, support and the impact you have ignited to the WOMEN of Africa including men. WE only have little knowledge of the CHALLENGES you have faced. You will always be remembered in our dear CONTINENT. Now so many riders in AFRICA have already started the same ADVENTURE. Thank you for riding across my country Nigeria 🇳🇬
Always my routine to watch you on Wednesdays and Sundays with my cuppa of coffee. I almost can predict the upload times and I get here as soon as I can because I truly adore your videos. Thank you for your brilliant photography skills.
Nine A.M., Wednesday and Sunday. Sure as clockwork our favourite girl in the world posts her new day's adventure. I can set my clock and calendar by her.
I can't say it enough you're truly amazing. Your fortitude & resilience in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds is not only remarkable but admirable also. Nuff respect. Thanks for bringing us along Bless up❤❤ Please take care out there 🙏🙏💞
LOL...though a fright of a different type. But yea anytime I think of the dangerous places/situations we have seen Noraly in, the cartel territory always pops into my head first for being worst. I don't know if it is, just say'in. Peace!
Oh the waterfall is amazing. The drone footage ist so beautiful. Thanks for your hard works. Lovely greetings. All people at the world follow you and love you. I am enthusiastic. You unite this world.
You look so pretty and fresh this morning Noraly! Well rested too. The past few episodes have kept me on pins and needles as you traversed rugged trails. You must have incredible upper body strength. This trip has been one of your most arduous adventures. Thanks so much for letting us tag along!!
Actually Noraly is a ripple from head to foot. The pounding her body takes on the roads she travels makes for hard muscles. You can see that just looking at her. I bet she could press 100 pounds.
Question for the others that been here for years. Sure seems to me the recent "dirt bike experience" riding the KTM has improved her ability to better use torque with a little clutch slippage on Alaska? Just seems to ride the rough section with ease now. Love seeing it. I rode woods bikes for years and really wasn't a great rider until bought 1980 Husky 250 in 1981. Was a leftover. Since all the fastest Pros rode one, knew I had no excuse. Within 6 weeks was finishing top 5 at all my races. Confidence. Confidence in the bike being able to handle anything I threw at it. It's crazy how much this game is about the mental aspect. Absolutely love seeing her get better especially considering all the weight she carries. Has to be tough.
I think her participation in the "Baja" and "Dinaric" rallies are the main reason for her excellent riding, and of course riding a fully laden "Alaska" with around 30hp. is a very different story to riding a light weight KTM. with probably twice the power.
I see a movie in the future. It will be called "Noraly". The opening line will be "I once road a motorcycle through Africa". Thanks Itchy for all the great videos. What a great adventure this has been. Thanks for sharing.
I cant believe am looking at the GOAT of solo bike adventure travel. Very friendly and the drone footages gives an eagles view. The camera angles gives the best views and the stable go pro is the best.
Thanks for another great video, Noraly! You inspire me in many ways, but especially with my riding and travel adventures. I'm so glad I found your channel, and I've thoroughly enjoyed this series. I do enjoy watching you ride without luggage occasionally, which you seem to enjoy and like Madagascar we get to see how good a rider you are - it's easy to forget that most of the time that little Honda is heavily loaded with gear and much more cumbersome than a stock one (or a KTM 350!).
Just amazing, the scenery, the beautiful waterfalls, the lake ... and then the muddy trails and never-ceasing rain. I would maybe take a day of that, but you never seem to give up or get discouraged. Then suddenly there is a modern church in the middle of nowhere and then a tall, friendly man with some food and a cup of tea. Just endless variation and places of great beauty and interest. Thanks for not giving up and allowing us to see things that are way out of reach for the average person! Luctor et emergo!
@@Valkyrie57 Pretty much every biker I meet on the road when I'm out riding at some point is asked by me, 'have you ever watched ItchyBoots on RUclips?' Then I tell them how she inspired me back onto a motorcycle, back then I was 71. Since I got back on a bike I've clocked just short of 24,000 km beginning my season 3 in Alberta where more than half the year makes riding not so available due to SNOW! Not a fan of snow while I sit here every Wednesday and Sunday watching Noraly riding in places where snow tends not to go, rain not withstanding.
Oh my that insect brings back many childhood memories - we call those centipedes 'shongalawlaws' .They curl up quickly when threatened. If you know, you know....🇿🇦❤🇿🇦
You look so relaxed at the beginning of this video...A very beautiful waterfall... I just love waterfalls... Thank you.. ❤❤❤❤❤......watching your videos just brighten my day...please stay safe...
Good morning Noraly from Toronto. Always look forward to Sunday morning adventure with you. Always something interesting and unique. Spectacular drone video of the waterfalls. Thanks for the experience. Cheers and stay well, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Wow! Rain, centipede, waterfalls, mountains, green and beautiful! What a ride girl! Great Church and glad it's a wonderful testimony to African Christianity ... and students learning wonderful things about God's Creation! I'm glad you stopped and gave us a peek of it. And then the local merchant and "cookshop guy" ... Wonderful! Thank you Noraly for showing us Africa!

From the US but watching from Copenhagen where I’m stuck in the airport SO thankful for a good video to watch worth draining my mobile battery for the next 24 minutes! Thank you for great content and hard work. 🙂
Magnificent, vivacity and fantabulous..🎉
With the world going crazy you are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing your adventures. A lifetime of memories.
"So many legs and so slow"😂
Love it 😅🫰
Your videography is good, lots of riding, many and quick perspective changes, danger, relief, sweet and kind people. It wouldn’t hurt to have a companion, to bounce ideas, help with just an extra hand sometimes, company…. I have watched you since India, on the one cylinder bike, a Himalayan I think. I’m a dad of three daughters and I worry sooo much for you. You have a gentle, generous smile and affect…that has my attention. I’m really pleased with your courage and growing bike skills. Your parents must be amazing, wonderful people, because they raised a mighty fine daughter. Noraly, thanks for sharing your adventure…from East Tennessee.
howdy from Northern Alabama! As a parent of 3 Adult children we never stop worrying, We only hope they have Angles sitting on their shoulders and they think smart , trust little and explore more. 🌍🌎🌏🏘🏡🏠🏍🛵🛣🦊
I have been saying this for years i worry about her being alone she had help for a few weeks in Madagascar which i think we all appreciated i worry about a serious traffic accident more than anything else i guess this is just an old man worrying please be careful love you ❤❤
It is truly amazing how a talented lady memorializing her solo motorcycle experiences captures the interest of so many people. Some of whom do not own or ride motorcycles. Noraly's spirit of adventure is simply a passenger on her Honda and we are the beneficiaries of her amazing journey. Wednesdays and Sundays are special days for me.
I second your thoughts! I do not own or ride motorcycles but Noraly has captured and held my interest through all these seasons! She amazes me with her endless talents and cheerful disposition! She has earned my respect with every single video!! Appreciate your comment!!
Well said Frank! So many other channels only manage to attract one demographic or specific interest group. Noraly has attracted people in all age groups, demographics, religions, countries, all with varied interests. She is amazing in more ways than we can imagine. We are so fortunate to be watching this legend. Peace!
First....Happy Mothers Day to Noraly's mom Mrs Schoenmaker! Because of you, we have Noraly. Where would we be without her. Noraly what awesome waterfall scenes. Screen captured! "Friendly smiley people".....Noraly fits right in. Cool to see the church on top of mountain. I feel better now that even Noraly forgets something at an accommodation! Thanks You Always! You never disappoint. Peace! ❤❤❤
Yes, excellent. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Mevrouw Schoenmaker. You cooked up one mighty fine bun in your oven. Now we all get to enjoy what you and her Dad raised to become one of the finest adventure vloggers on the planet. Thank you.
نورالي ، هاللووووو . انت رائعة و كل فيديوهاتك شيقة و ممتعة لابعد الحدود . كم انت فاتنة و مميزة و بسيطة حين تتحدثين عن الموضوعات و عن الناس الذين تقابلينهم بكل الود و المحبة. حقا انت جميلة و قمة في الأخلاق. احب مغامراتك جدا. تحياتي من هولاندا . اتمنى أن تستمري و أن تبقي بأمان دوما.
Fresh cup of coffee and watching you. A perfect Mother’s Day morning.❤❤❤
Lol....no power. Noraly is the most tolerable person. Beautiful soul. Love your videos immensely. I feel I am on this trips with you. ❤❤❤❤❤
That welcome at the road side restaurant was just special. Like greeting an old friend! 🤗
I absolutely love the little **commenty thing-a-ding-things** you edit in recently. Good extra giggles!
And if someone in Malawi sees a millipede with a white Rev´It rain jacket: Please send to Noraly Schoenmaker! 🥳
😍, 🤗!!1!
It will be a very stylish Millipede if it's seen wearing Noraly's rain jacket! 🐛🦠🌍🏍🧥🦊
@@foxiedogitchypaws7141 It'll have a hard time explaining why it needs motorcycle clothing, not least as there are no motorcycles with hundreds of foot rests.
Always take care of yourself ma'am.God Bless you
Nature is just amazing. The waterfalls, a sight to behold
If even one tenth of the population on our lovely planet has Noraly's attitude, this whole place would be a paradise.....there would be no wars, no hunger, ........nothing but love for this fine, brave, smart,.. young lady.. from my family..
Thank you, my beautiful girl, for showing us the most beautiful places in the world
You are so incredibly brave. NO WAY I could sleep in a tent like that, knowing all of the horrible creatures that can crawl in -- centipedes, spiders .... NO FREAKING WAY!!! LOVE YOU for your courage!!!
My Mom use to say ....Home is where your Heart is... And its defnitely not the country only.. proud of You Noraly....
Your mom was right. My mom often said the same thing!
Taking a loss is not always a bad thing... It can remind us of who we are, where we are and what we are doing or trying to accomplish... And more often than not makes us stronger... 💪 There is always a way forward... As Noraly is showing/teaching us...
Thanks as always. Your videos never disappoint. Don't beat yourself up about the rain jacket.. Someone now has a Noraly souvenir. 🏍🥰
The rain jacket decided to stay behind to comfort that millipede, a harmless buddy actually.. Hope you could get a new rain jacket, we don't want you getting sick anywhere (God forbid). Thank you so much Noraly for that breathtaking drone view of the twin waterfalls and dense forest too. The mist made it look more greene. Thanks. Keep safe too
If she got sick, it would not stop her.
Her loss is someone else’s gain! I only hope they appreciate finding it and use it!
It's always itchy boots for me,,,everytime adventurous ❤❤🇰🇪🇰🇪
Noraly's is amazing with all the rough riding , BUT let's hear it for Alaska !!! All that pounding Alaska takes and barely has a breakdown. Impressive.
You have to love Noraly🤩 You are one of a kind who takes her wins and losses the same way and moves on but every day is an adventure; whether you encounter some creatures in your tent, have a bathroom with no running water or leave your rain jacket behind but also relish the findings such as the highest waterfall in Malawi and trusting your GPS will take you through some mountain passes & jungle to deliver you to your desired destination ... WOW, WHAT A WOMAN!!!
GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
every Wednesday and Sunday, I can't wait to watch your videos! They're amazing!
I just want to say, I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to Noraly's episodes. I stumbled to the channel 3 months ago and would have to say the detail, work and attentiveness in putting these together is second to none! Well done Noraly.
Alaska the legend goes everywhere you want her to take you, what a bike! True perseverance Noraly to carry on in outrageous conditions. The warrior and her steed! yahoo!
Thank you Noraly for showing us parts of the world most of us will never have the pleasure to visit. Malawi and its people are beautiful. Those drone shots of the waterfalls and the green forest/jungle were absolutely gorgeous. I know how hard you work not only filming but editing, choosing fabulous music to accompany each video and planning each leg of your journey. It's a lot to do two videos a week! What a wonder woman you are! Thank you for your hard work so that we can all see the world through your eyes. Amazing!
watching from Ontario Canada. Norally is my favourite adventurer.
Mine too, by far and I watch a lot of rider videos. I know pretty much all the girls out there riding and making videos; not personally but from watching them. Men also. Nobody does it better than Noraly Schoenmaker. That extra special quality she adds is a HUGE brain and TONS of talent.
Nobody said it would not be without these challenges NORALY LOVE ❤YOU,.
Your drone shots of waterfalls and the next cloud engulfing valley are fantastic. You have taken so much trouble to reach there and given us that moment of joy that I cannot make it in my lifetime. Thank you Ma'am!
I think all have admired and congratulated Noraly for her adventure in basic and about her filming and videography, but one MORE IMPORTANT factor nobody has ever talked about and understood, probably, or realised is about her Selction of sound tracks running in the background. Every episode feels special ALSO due to that picture perfect Soundtrack selection and running just at the right time with right loud or sweetness (i would call it). We should admire her sense of music , which is almost to the level of a matured and Pro composer for such videos. She selects the tracks based on the regions, persons, scenary and runs it at the perfect moment with perfect timing and if I am correct she also tries some experiemtns in doing some editing based on the music and video pictures and situation. it is especially noticed when she rides longer stretches within jungle (mostly on dirt roads) and with DRONE shots. Amazing. Noraly take a bow! You are a complete Institute in yourselves. Great. I am REALLY feeling LUCKY to have it all.
Such a shame you forgetting that rain jacket. Long treks on a bike when wet and continuous rain make for an uncomfortable trip. Some spectacular drone shots over the waterfall. I’m constantly amazed at your patience and ability to get/take something positive out of a bad circumstance and making it your ‘go to’ attitude.Still following you after several years and have yet to ever be disappointed with any of your posts. You’re such a delight every Wednesday and Sunday for me in southern Ontario, Canada…❤❤❤Rick
"Life is short, make every day an adventure." Thank you Noraly for an awesome adventure you always take us on. really appreciate that. ❤
9:55 Magestic..!! Thank you..!! Noraly. We love your videos so much for everything that you do in it. They have a lot of work passion and dedication.🙏🙏🙏
You are the best !
@@williamchandler2558 you're better than the last.🙏🙏🙏
21:00 Jaki piękny afrykanski stolik,klimatyczne....👍🏻👏🏻♥️
Hey Noraly, watching you from Lusaka Zambia Central Africa. You are simply amazing ❤❤❤
@Noraly, thanks for the rare privilege of traveling round the African continent with you!
🙏🙏🙏As we are about to say a Big THANK YOU to our dear visitor NORALY for exploring our continent… we really appreciate your adventurous efforts.
We might say GOODBYE to you soon but we will never forget your INSPIRATION, enthusiasm, courage, love, support and the impact you have ignited to the WOMEN of Africa including men.
WE only have little knowledge of the CHALLENGES you have faced. You will always be remembered in our dear CONTINENT.
Now so many riders in AFRICA have already started the same ADVENTURE.
Thank you for riding across my country Nigeria 🇳🇬
Always my routine to watch you on Wednesdays and Sundays with my cuppa of coffee. I almost can predict the upload times and I get here as soon as I can because I truly adore your videos. Thank you for your brilliant photography skills.
Nine A.M., Wednesday and Sunday. Sure as clockwork our favourite girl in the world posts her new day's adventure. I can set my clock and calendar by her.
I can't say it enough you're truly amazing.
Your fortitude & resilience in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds is not only remarkable but admirable also.
Nuff respect.
Thanks for bringing us along
Bless up❤❤
Please take care out there 🙏🙏💞
I haven't missed a single episode you put out. Watching the adventures you go on is awesome.
I did neither 😂
I find it hilarious and ironic Noraly can travel through Mexican Cartel territory and yet be frightened by a millipede.
LOL...though a fright of a different type. But yea anytime I think of the dangerous places/situations we have seen Noraly in, the cartel territory always pops into my head first for being worst. I don't know if it is, just say'in. Peace!
Big milipedes in Zambia are called chongalolo - used to play with them in our garden
Yip. Shongololo in South Africa. We used to play with them too and let them crawl across our hands.
🐛🌍🏍🦊
My greatest weekly entertainment every Wednesday and Sunday...Kenya is waiting for you with open arms and love!
Oh the waterfall is amazing. The drone footage ist so beautiful. Thanks for your hard works. Lovely greetings.
All people at the world follow you and love you. I am enthusiastic. You unite this world.
This is the real Africa , thanks for reminding me weekly of reality . I loved my African visits . Your show is R E A L .
Friendly people, wonderful landscapes, good food... Malawi seems to be another great place to visit. Thanks Noraly !
You are very true
As always, God bless you. Love, from Central Valley California, USA
You look so pretty and fresh this morning Noraly! Well rested too. The past few episodes have kept me on pins and needles as you traversed rugged trails. You must have incredible upper body strength. This trip has been one of your most arduous adventures. Thanks so much for letting us tag along!!
Actually Noraly is a ripple from head to foot. The pounding her body takes on the roads she travels makes for hard muscles. You can see that just looking at her. I bet she could press 100 pounds.
Question for the others that been here for years. Sure seems to me the recent "dirt bike experience" riding the KTM has improved her ability to better use torque with a little clutch slippage on Alaska? Just seems to ride the rough section with ease now. Love seeing it. I rode woods bikes for years and really wasn't a great rider until bought 1980 Husky 250 in 1981. Was a leftover. Since all the fastest Pros rode one, knew I had no excuse. Within 6 weeks was finishing top 5 at all my races. Confidence. Confidence in the bike being able to handle anything I threw at it. It's crazy how much this game is about the mental aspect. Absolutely love seeing her get better especially considering all the weight she carries. Has to be tough.
I rode a husky in the desert races in California in the 70s best dirt bike ever at the time!
I think her participation in the "Baja" and "Dinaric" rallies are the main reason for her excellent riding, and of course riding a fully laden "Alaska" with around 30hp. is a very different story to riding a light weight KTM. with probably twice the power.
Over 630 videos now, and I've enjoyed everyone of them. Thanks so much Noraly, you are amazing.
👍👍
I see a movie in the future. It will be called "Noraly". The opening line will be "I once road a motorcycle through Africa". Thanks Itchy for all the great videos. What a great adventure this has been. Thanks for sharing.
Emily Blunt in the lead role
I cant believe am looking at the GOAT of solo bike adventure travel. Very friendly and the drone footages gives an eagles view. The camera angles gives the best views and the stable go pro is the best.
Rain, rain go away. Keep Noraly safe for another day!❤
That song came to me too.
That song came to me too
Thanks for another great video, Noraly! You inspire me in many ways, but especially with my riding and travel adventures. I'm so glad I found your channel, and I've thoroughly enjoyed this series.
I do enjoy watching you ride without luggage occasionally, which you seem to enjoy and like Madagascar we get to see how good a rider you are - it's easy to forget that most of the time that little Honda is heavily loaded with gear and much more cumbersome than a stock one (or a KTM 350!).
Don't know how your body stays together with all the bouncing over never ending rocks. Stunning drone view of the waterfalls. 💗 always.
Combined with frequent food poisoning. I really don't know how she does it.
totally agree@@gailtaylor1636
Rainy day but the waterfalls were awesome! The Malawi people are so nice. Off to the next adventure!
Just amazing, the scenery, the beautiful waterfalls, the lake ... and then the muddy trails and never-ceasing rain. I would maybe take a day of that, but you never seem to give up or get discouraged. Then suddenly there is a modern church in the middle of nowhere and then a tall, friendly man with some food and a cup of tea. Just endless variation and places of great beauty and interest. Thanks for not giving up and allowing us to see things that are way out of reach for the average person! Luctor et emergo!
The drone footage at the waterfall was spectacular, even in the rain. Nice to see the sun starting to break through. Thanks Noraly.
Another great video by Noraly. She's earned her 2.3M subs.
@@Valkyrie57yall sound like robots
@@MAGA_EXTREM1ST Sorry, no actual word as "Yall" are you a Robot..?
@@Valkyrie57 Pretty much every biker I meet on the road when I'm out riding at some point is asked by me, 'have you ever watched ItchyBoots on RUclips?' Then I tell them how she inspired me back onto a motorcycle, back then I was 71. Since I got back on a bike I've clocked just short of 24,000 km beginning my season 3 in Alberta where more than half the year makes riding not so available due to SNOW! Not a fan of snow while I sit here every Wednesday and Sunday watching Noraly riding in places where snow tends not to go, rain not withstanding.
@@GertjanZwiggelaar-mo4tz Great comment, but I fear wasted on our "moronic" friend..🤔
22:00 Blue sky! What a relief.
What a great waterfall! All of us RUclips watches sure appreciate Noraly
Que cachoeira linda! Que lugar maravilhoso com muito verde.
Oh my that insect brings back many childhood memories - we call those centipedes 'shongalawlaws' .They curl up quickly when threatened. If you know, you know....🇿🇦❤🇿🇦
You look so relaxed at the beginning of this video...A very beautiful waterfall... I just love waterfalls... Thank you.. ❤❤❤❤❤......watching your videos just brighten my day...please stay safe...
Good morning Noraly from Toronto. Always look forward to Sunday morning adventure with you. Always something interesting and unique. Spectacular drone video of the waterfalls. Thanks for the experience. Cheers and stay well, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
And I'm watching from St.Catharines Ontario.
You are a brave woman, and I love it!
What a great ending to the video......keeping us all in the dark !!!!!......great stuff Noraly !!!
I think it was cool too, the sweetness of her voice highlighted the whole place.
Wow! Rain, centipede, waterfalls, mountains, green and beautiful! What a ride girl! Great Church and glad it's a wonderful testimony to African Christianity ... and students learning wonderful things about God's Creation! I'm glad you stopped and gave us a peek of it. And then the local merchant and "cookshop guy" ... Wonderful! Thank you Noraly for showing us Africa!
Good evening internet! Here we go again watching and enjoying your videos. Thank you for always updating us ms. Noraly.. Watching now from philippines. Time check 10pm philippines time❤
You took your loss with a smile. THAT'S ITCHY BOOTS SPIRIT!!!
The drone shots are always amazing. Thank you Noraly always
Stunning scenery in this episode!
Drone shots of the waterfalls made me emotional, breathtaking!
Hallo ik ben Belg en kijk sedert enkele weken naar je videos met grote interesse....,prachtig !Ik ben zelf, nu 72 jaar, een groot avontuur fan...ben in vele van uw bestemmingen geweest,niet per moto maar altijd met mijn ALASKA, een minifiets , in mijn bagage in het vliegtuig....ik reisde altijd met openbaar vervoer, en lokaal dan "rondkuieren” met mijn fiets....
Zo veel meegemaakt en gezien...ook veel bewondering voor jou, niet voor iedereen...je hebt de juiste instelling, altijd vriendelijk, goedlachs, respectvol voor iedereen....
